Hello All, 

 

I have successfully created a Workspace App that allows the user to search for available sampling sites in our database, and return the matched results in a new webpage using the Data Streaming service. We are using version 2024.1 for both Flow and Form.

The screenshot below shows the simple flow - the users parameter values are tested to see which are blank/missing for when optional fields have no selections entered/chosen. The appropriate SQLExecutor then outputs the matches to the HTMLReportGenerator which creates a HTML table for the writer to generate the content.

 

 

My end goal is similar to this question but differs in that my results are based on user input. I would like the content of the HTML / results table to be embedded within the app layout, so I can be lazy. I’d want to keep a consistent design for a more professional user experience but if I can avoid having to create customised HTML to produce similar headers / footers / logos etc, I will jump at the opportunity!

After the search parameters are entered, we get a data streaming service notice. The app goes from this:

To this after the user hits run (all within the App page): 

It would excellent if once the job was finished and the table was ready to display, that the HTML content could be embedded in place of this message within the App page, so it keeps a seamless feel to the user.

Is this possible with any of the released versions of FME Flow?

Thanks for your time and any help provided.

Regards

Stu

Thanks ​@alexbiz your BRG custom transformer looks perfect for what we need. Now to just get ourselves onto v2025 so we can use it! 

However, I would still be keen to hear if anyone thinks this can be done natively. If not, I might submit this as a suggestion for future enhancements.
