How to call a function in Workspace assemblies?

Hi guys,

I coudn't find the proper hint in OneStream.

In my dashboards, I'm using several XFBR string rules or Dashboard extender rules. I would like to move some of them to Workspace assemblies, available starting version 7.4. If I do so, does anybody know how to call a function in there?

Stupid example, I'm defining the position of a temporary file to download with an XFBR rule called MyXFBR, function CleanUsername.

UrlOrFullFileName=[Internal/Users/XFBR(MyXFBR, CleanUsername)/Temp/FileToDownload.csv]

 

Now I've created the same function CleanUsername in a Workspace assembly named MyAssembly, in a file named FolderManagement.vb. How this should be amended?

XFBR(MyXFBR, CleanUsername)

?? XFBR(MyAssembly, FolderManagement, CleanUsername) ?? it doesn't look very good....

 

That's pretty new, but I hope a few guys in this community have used it already.

    Use the following syntax instead of just RuleName,
    Workspace.<WorkspaceName>.<AssembleName>.<RuleName>

    Example- 

     

    XFBR(Workspace.MyWorkspace.MyAssembly.ParamHelper, CleanUsername)

    Hi hiren,

    thanks a lot for the hint. But actually it does not work with me, I've also tried with a simpler case creating a dashboard extender and logging a fixed message just to see whether the rule is call and apparently it's not called at all. I've used Default as workspace, the name of my asembly (XICO_Folder) and the fileName (FolderMgmt), tried with and without .vb and even renaming it without vb) and nothing is fired.

    XFBR(Default.XICO_Folder.FolderMgmt, CleanUsername)

    But I understand this is working on your side, isn't it? is there any pre-requisite, like making the assembly/folder/file visibile? I really can't find documentation or examples about it and such a small thing is driving me crazy.

    Try this:   XFBR(Workspace.Current.MyAssembly.FileName, FunctionName)
