Can I execute a BR after saving data?
I'm trying to execute a calc after an input data in a CV, when the user click in the OS default save button (giving the flexibility to use a DB, CV or Excel addin with the same CV)
Is possible?
If you are going to do this in EXCEL, your option will be to use WcfEventHandler. I wouldn't recommend using SaveDataEventHandler as that will run on every save operation.
Is your DQEH using a "StartDataMgmtSequenc" vs a "ExecuteDataMgmtSequence"? I think start just starts and moves on but execute will wait for completion, so an execute may update task activity box better.

OneStream EmployeeI am surprised nobody's put this onto IdeaStream yet, a sort of auto-run-on-save, natively onto the platform, particularly since some older EPM products like Hyperion Planning had this as standard on their form designer.
Personally I'd like to see something like this
Many would say "this can all be done using Dashboard buttons", but of course (a) it doesn't stop you pressing the native save button on the standard toolbar, and (b) if you hide the standard CubeView toolbar in your dashboard, then you also lose the ability to export to PDF/Excel etc, and (c) like you mention, it doesn't work when saving from Spreadsheets/Excel, or non-dashboards.
It really is surprising that this functionality is not suggested in Idea Stream. For now, WcfEventHandler is the way to go.
