After Summit 2019, we were excited to start working on updates for 2018R2, and I practiced adding mobile screens for our custom modules in my sandbox.
We decided to fully refresh our DEV instance and reapply our customizations. No problem there, but when I try "Add New Screen" in the mobile section and then try to enter my screen number, the mouse goes to "waiting" and I can't add my new screen. Eventually, I get a "timed out" message. Same problem even when trying to add a standard Acumatica screen. Everything else in the project and Acumatica web interface seems to work fine.
Any ideas on where to look for what is preventing adding a new screen?
I'm on Build 18.209.0021.
It seems like an Ajax issue in the customization project editor. After callback to server the client page javascript is stuck waiting on the server response. You can try using Chrome browser which has less of those Ajax hangs and update Chrome if you're already using it.
There is also a known issue specifically affecting 2018 R2 Mobile that leads to generic error Sequence contains no matching element on mobile detail page. Based on your question this doesn't seem to be the issue you are having but you can give the workaround to this bug a try:
Open Generic Inquiry screen (SM208000)
Select FS-ServiceOrder inquiry, uncheck Expose to mobile and save
On Apply Updates screen (SM203510), click on Restart Application
This was identified by Acumatica support as a bug. Upgrade to a new release for the fix.

I have two applications: a business application using Angular and a chat application built with NodeJs.
In an Angular controller, I have written code to open the chat application login screen using...
$window.open("http:IPaddress/port/", "_blank","location=0,resizable=yes,top=100,left=20,width=650,height=400")
It is opening the new tab but with with an address bar on it. I want to get rid of the address bar. In IE, by default, the address bar is hidden but on Chrome it is visible.
Could anyone suggest a way to open this new tab as popup without $window.Open() and hide address bar?
can't be turned off, security requirement so users know which site they are actually on.
the only exception might be IE11 running on Win7
The Chromium team has indicated that ignoring the value of location is intended behavior.
You'll need to work around it. One option would be to put the chat view inside the window/tab that's displaying the business application using a chat library like converse.
I added a couple of custom control into a plugin and imported them on the server using the update site. They are working quit well so far but when i open an application in the designer client i can see the custom control from the plugin twice.
I tried to add them the same way bootstrap4xpages is adding a plugin but mine is duplicated.
One entry is without any icon the other has the standard grey cc icon. Not the end of the world but i must have done something wrong. Any idea why that happens?
It's a known issue with 9.0 and 9.0.1, specific to components that are Custom Controls. I encountered it quite a while ago. Mark Leusink had the same problem for Debug Toolbar and discussed it with the IBM developers at IBM Connect last year. So I would hope it will be addressed in the next point release, 9.0.2.
It still works fine though, regardless of which one you select.
I have a HTML file, which I've uploaded as a web resource and linked to via an activity's form designer in an IFRAME. So far, so good.
Then, when I edited the source file locally and uploaded it (browse-save-publish, of course), I got no difference in the appearance on the screen. Here's the weird part. When I open the uploaded file in the editor, I can see the changes to my source code. On the RTF tab I can also see the change in colors of the background.
However, reloading the "create new"-form doesn't bring those changes to the client! I've tried restarting the window, restarting IE, clearing the cache. Nothing helps.
When I entered the very same page from a different client, I got to see the updated version. But after that, the subsequent changes are not updated either. It's like if IE thinks "oh, matey, ya wanna cache that for life, I see". Well, I don't. I'd like to see my edition in action pretty much directly and without creating a new account with a new client. :)
After a while, the update seems to go through and I get to see a new version but not in all browsers.
What is causing it?! How do I kill it?

I have seen CRM do some weird IIS Caching. I'd assume this is a server side issue, but your using crm online, they won't let you run an IIS reset now will they? :) Have you tried running it on a new client in private browsing mode, deploying your change, and opening a new private browser to test if it is a client caching issue or a server caching issue?
Something weird is happening.
My Silverlight applications for CRM 2011 are missing their default loading splash-screens.
I can create a simple Silverlight app without setting the RooVisual element...
//this.RootVisual = new MainPage();
which will create an "endlessly loading" effect. Normally, if I run it via the debugger or host it in an IIS, it's as you'd expect: I get the typical SL loading indicator. However, if I place it in CRM 2011 web resource (doesn't seem to matter if it's a local CRM installation or online) and use that as part of a form, I just get a white rectangle.
Now, so far, all my SL controls are used in local installations, so loading times are non-existent. However, I'm creating a solution which might end up being used on-line, and leaving it as it is, a client could think the application has hung-up or crashed while in fact it is still downloading.
I've also tried using a custom splash-screen, with the same results.
What could possibly be wrong? Is this some documented (or undocumented :P) CRM feature that I missed?
Well in our CRM 2011 environments they always show the Silverlight loading screen, so I'm not sure why they aren't displaying for you.
Have you tried just a generic 3rd party silverlight application?
One thing you could do is have an HTML web resource that has a loading screen on it and then using your silverlight application hide the loading screen (which it will do only after it's loaded).
I've solved it!
The issue, as it turns out, is naming the CRM resources with a .xap on the end, for example new_mySL.xap.
I could swear that we didn't do it in our older projects and that the splash screens worked correctly... as such, I don't know if there was some CRM update that changed this or perhaps my mind is simply playing tricks on my (quite possibly the latter).
We have a asp.net web application which will be used in an intranet environment on IE 6. We want to change the default configuration of the browser so that it's always rendered without the Tool Bars, Menu Bars and Address Bar, just the browser window frame and the status bar should be present.
We were looking at the IEAK toolkit for IE6 but it doesn't seem to have the option of turning all this off though you can turn off certain menus and toolbar options.
Any ideas of how this can be done, is there a group policy setting or something that we can utilize here to get this done?
Thanks for your help.
You have to handle the showing of toolbars, address bar,... before the page is loaded, because it's built client side.
So to solve your problem, I think you should write the first page (Enter page for example) Then when use click on the Enter link you open another page using VBScript or Javascript to remove toolbars, address bar,...
Hope this helps ^^
Have you investigated Kiosk Mode?
Also, you're deploying IE6 at the wrong end of its lifecycle.
It also sounds like your requirement is for an app you're developing; mandating that the browser is configured this way for all sites might make the customers unhappy. If you want to know how to open a browser window without those things for your site, from your site, I'd suggest a repost to StackOverflow.
