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, a...

    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.

    Guys,

    thank you again, thank you soo much!! This is now working. I've just missed the workspace-dot, stupid me.
    There's one curiosity I have. I did not manage to have it working if I keep the ".vb" extension in the filename. I don't mind about it at all and I'm happy to rename the file without any extension, but am I doing something wrong or do you share the same "issue"?
