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.

    As SStalker mentioned, if the assembly is in same workspace you can also use Current keyword instead of Workspace Name.

      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"?
