Interface builder update

Hi Forio Team,

I would like to know if you have any plans on fixing the interface builder since it’s been very buggy lately. Some of the frustrating issues are that project pages get overwritten randomly, the conditions tab overwrites the conditions of all UI elements that are clicked and sometimes it’s impossible to update table variables from the Interface Builder.

It would be helpful if you can release an update addressing these issues.

Kind regards
Wesley Barreto

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback on this. We have a couple of updates forthcoming in the next week

  • bug fix for sims marked “public” that are run comparison sims (permission error)
  • Updating vensim engine to fix NPV/IRR functions

The issue with project pages being overwritten generally occurs when authors hand-edit the page. This is a helpful technique (it allows customization of CSS and javascript) but the location of where to place the added code makes a difference. We recommend to back up the files regularly.

If you have more details on the bug with the conditions or the table variables that’d be helpful for us tracking this down. We had an issue 1-2 years ago with slow loading times for table variables with very large models and made some improvements around this. Let us know if it’s a similar issue here.

If you have a little time, we’d be happy to set up a web conference to dig into these issues in more detail, email us at support@forio.com and we can set that up.
