Purchase Receipts / Allocations import possibility - acumatica

Is it possible to implement a text file import to the Allocations popup screen / grid on the Purchase Receipts screen? I know there is a way to add the file import functionality to a normal grid by adding an attribute to its data view - but this doesn't seem like a normal grid screen. My thought was to use the web service for Purchase Receipts, but before I try that I wanted to submit this question to see if it's possible to directly import to that Allocation screen.

It is possible to import data into the Allocations popup screen / grid on the Purchase Receipts screen either though Integration Scenarios or by using the web service for Purchase Receipts.

Live Display inventory for Paypal button

I am trying to integrate a PayPal buy button into my website, and I am using the built-in inventory feature. I am trying to find a way to display how many units are left for inventory, as it will be small group tickets I am selling and I want my customers to know if an event is full or not. how would I display that?
The basic HTML hosted buttons generated by PayPal will not display remaining inventory.
To do so, essentially you need your own database that tracks inventory and displays this value on page load. When processing a transaction, before capturing a payment you should verify that there is enough remaining inventory, and decrement the inventory when the capture is successful.
There are third party solutions that implement such functionality (stock/inventory management), if you are unfamiliar with how to program such a site your self. PayPal's partner directory may be a place to start, and you can also search the web.

Screensharing only one workspace in Qtile

I am using qtile as my window manager. I sometimes have to share screen in Google meet to my colleagues. And in order to show all the dropdown menus I am clicking on during the meet have to be screen shared.
Hence I opt for sharing the whole screen and not just only the window.
But sometimes I just to move to another workspace and text someone quickly on Whatsapp or Telegram and get back. This is also visible, since I am sharing the whole screen
Is it possible to share only one workspace at a time and not all workspaces?

Changing colors on Azure Dashboard Charts and Global parameter for all tiles

We have created Azure Dashboard with custom KQL queries with 5 tiles and we want to send a OPERATION ID from one page to this Dashboard page and we want all tiles to consume this PARAMETER in the query.
Is it possible to send a global query parameter and get it used by all the tiles on the Dashboard? Also is it possible to control the COLORS on the Charts rendered in these tiles on the dashboard? Can we change the colours of this pie chart rendered or that is not possible?
Any help
Thank you
Unfortunately this is not supported out of the box with Azure Dashboards and don't anticipate it being either, there is a feature request but doesn't have many votes and no traction.

The best option if you wanted rich charting like this is to go towards Power BI

Configure printer for Acumatica

Using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Y_GC4Zm54 we are trying to print out the shipments as indicated in the video. This would be a great approximation as it would take us closer to printing documents from a new page we created called "Work Orders" which is the fnal requirement.
I have 2 questions:
In the video there is a customization package called "Devicehubinstalled" that adds the Print Queues and Scale pages. Is this customization available for the community? if so, where could I find it?
In this Help article from Acumatica (https://help.acumatica.com/Main?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=de3b7e31-58f7-4e36-a6ec-d40ac9755037) is described how to configure a USB printer in ther server or workstation. I am currently trying it locally and the request is being sent to the printer and it's being placed in queue but without any results. Has anyone face a similar scenario?
Thanks.
1) There is a section to enable scale integration on the partner portal: https://portal.acumatica.com/downloads/advanced-fulfillment-download/
You have to scroll down to the Configuration area. On this page, you can find customizations for different versions of Acumatica. Starting from 2018R1 the DeviceHub for Printers is included in the core product as a feature and there is a separate customization to activate scales and packaging there.
2) The issue can be that the labels printer is not shared. Please check this and change the shared name on the batch file, if needed. You can also have a look at the article about labels printing configuration here: https://www.acumatica.com/blog/technical-tuesday-printing-shipping-labels-using-acumatica/

Xpages: Can you build a Dojo Data Grid with a with a Rest service in a separate XPage?

I have created an Xpage with only one element, a JSON Rest service that points to a view (I guess I should probably put this in a CC).
I want to build another Xpage with a CC that contains a CC that contains a Dojo Data Grid that points to this rest service.
How can I do that? It seems to me that I should separate out my calls to the data from the interface. I am surprised that this is not easier to do.
As Knut mentioned, the xp:include tag (the Include Page control) seems to be the easiest solution.
You don't have to move the REST service to a custom control, though. You can just include the page with the REST service on the same page that contains your grid custom control (or on the grid custom control itself).
Then, in the grid's storeComponentId property of the grid control, you can specify the ID of the REST service and the server will be able to resolve it.
Put your REST service in a CC and include it into your Dojo Data Grid control XPages/CC.
<xp:include
id="restService"
pageName="restServiceCC.xsp" />
Don't forget to add ".xsp" to the name of your CC.
Update
To use include is the (only) way to separate the Dojo Data Grid control and the REST service in separate XPages/CC as you asked in your question.
As REST services can be separate design elements this way you can define all REST services in a template database and let the applications inherit from there. REST services itself can provide data from any database/view.
The Dojo Data Grid control is the easiest way to include Data Grids to your applications but it needs the REST service to be in the database itself.
As an alternative you can use a "pure" Data Grid based on client side JavaScript. Data Grids get their data usually from an URL per Ajax. This would give you the possibility to put all REST services in one database. You have much more flexibility with this approach than using the Dojo Data Grid control. But, be aware that it needs some days to get into it. I use the free jqGrid based on jQuery as the "pure" Data Grid. You can find more information about it in my presentation at EntwicklerCamp 2014 (sorry, its in German - Google translator is your friend) including a comparison with Dojo Data Grid and ExtJs Grid.
