Personas: General topic: Will it be possible to trace/debug along the UI flow?

Hi Personas experts,
This may be a general question - as developers implement Personas UIs, there are often cases where the new UI does not work as expected, and we don't know what is actually going on along the UI flow. This is even difficult when we use a lot of scripting which causes complex UI actions such as pressing script buttons, copy/paste values among fields etc.
Would it be possible to do kind of tracing/debugging/loging while executing UI in Personas, so that we can see which value is copied/pasted, or which button is pressed by the scripts?
This would greatly help developers to work more efficiently. Please advise about this. Thanks.
Br,

Debugging scripts isn't possible in Personas 2. This is one of the things I find most frustrating with the scripting functionality. Small scripts are fairly easy to build and debug. Large scripts are not. There are some things you can do to make it easier.
The first rule is to build and test scripts is small pieces. Make sure each works before moving on to the next. Put each piece on a separate script button and chain them together by having a script push the button for the next piece. This makes it easy to break a long script in the middle for debugging, without having to delete the whole thing - just remove the appropriate Press step. You can merge all the scripts together once you are done, to avoid all the script buttons. Personally I generally just hide them, so that I easily debug later when something unexpected happens after go-live.
Create temporary text fields to paste data into if you need to see the values being copied around. Combine this with the above technique to watch values as you run through the scripts.
Debugging will get easier in Personas 3.
Steve.

  • I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access.   Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

    I need help.  Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only.  Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet.  I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on.  Picking up numerous with sites with the lock.  Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad.  If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

    If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
    Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
    You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

  • Page linking along the side.  Is it possible?

    I am trying to set up an iWeb site and I need to have the page linking along one side. All the theme pages provided with iWeb seem to have the page linking along the top. Is it not possible to have it along the side?

    It is indeed possible with images or text. You can create your own navigation. Here is an example of text navigation "it is across the top but, it cold be any where" you simply enable it as a hyperlink and link it to one of your pages.

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • Simplified Chinese in RH9 topics will not open in RH9 Editor

    I upgraded a RH8 project with a simplified chinese character set to RH9 and the topics will not open in the RH editor.  See screen shot below.
    After clicking off on the error dialog, the topic opens in noptepad showing the HTML.  This occurs on every topic in the project.  I also had one of my collegues test the upgrade on their machine and same result occrred.  I am not sure if there is anything in the project I can troubleshoot or what else to try.  Checking any topic properties/general tab, I noticed the edtitor field is hard coded to use Notepad.  I do not know why this would be unless RH9 is confused about how to process the character set .
    This problem did not occur in RH8 with simplified Chinese character sets.  I am going to submit a bug report to Adobe but if anyone has any knowldge or experience uin this area, please advise.
    Thanks,

  • Why can´t I use Clipmark with the Firefox version 4.0.1? will ever be possible??

    I could use Clipmark, in the older version of Firefox, but when I updated it was removed automatically. I found this very usuful, and I would like to know if Firefox will make it possible to use it again...

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. The Feedback page thinks you're using 3.0.10 .
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

  • When will it be possibly to e-print ODT-files?

    I have just got a Photosmart Plus B210 and there was no problems when I emailed a .doc-document. I made my document in Open Office and saved it as a .doc-file and attached the file to the mail and send it. It was e-printed perfect. But when I attached an .odt-file the mail was not printed. I have seen an user have had the same question for an year a go, so now I ask: When will it be possibly to e-print ODT-files?
    with regards

    Two years later, still no support for Open Document Format?
    Usually, I would agree that it's no problem to print an ODT document simply by opening it in LibreOffice and exporting it as a PDF which is support by eprint. But what do you think about this:
    You are sitting in a train or metro and your smartphone informs you about an incoming mail: a collegue sends you an ODT document that you'd like to have on paper - if nothing else because your smartphone can't handle ODT files. The best solution would be to forward that email to the eprint service of your printer. But d'oh! Eprint doesn't support ODT! So you will have to wait, till you are at home, switch on your PC and start LibreOffice etc...
    Especially if it's a large document, it will be really comfortable to have the document printed as soon as you arrive at home. (And so on - we all know the great advantages of eprint.)
    Please include ODT as supported format!
    (I posted the same message here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/Open-office/m-p/1826037#M26803 In order to draw the support team's attention to this topic I finally decided to revive both threads. This one is younger and the other thread was at least once answered by an HP employee...)

  • When will it be possible to repeat reminders in iCal?

    When will it be possible to repeat reminders in iCal?
    (As it is possible in the reminders iPhone app already.)

    Greetings,
    Interesting question.  No one here would know that (or be able to talk about it if they did).  Reminders will have a new home in Mountain Lion so I guess we'll see: http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/features.html#reminders
    If you want to see this feature, be sure to submit feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

  • Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car?

    Hi there, Will be possible listen and charge at the same time my iPod shuffle in my car? I have got a jack going to my sound system the issue i would like to solve is charging at the same time

    Since the shuffle (except for the 1st gen shuffle) uses the same "port" (the headphones jack) for sound output and charging, there is no way to do both concurrently.
    NOTE:  You can charge and play at the same time on the old white 1st gen shuffle that looks like a USB flash drive.

    ashish35,
    No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
    Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
    Sorry and good luck,
