Have you ever had to develop an application with a default layout, where there is a set of colors that will be reused to keep the look-and-feel consistent? Well, if you work with OutSystems, sooner or later you’ll have to, so let me introduce you to a cool feature that can save (a lot!) of time and keep your application organized, and easy to maintain.

Whenever we need to process a lot of data, a best practice is to have that done in the background with a Heavy Timer. As its name indicates, a Heavy Timer is a Timer used to process heavy, intensive operations.

Most people like myself and most likely yourself are continuously aiming to improve their day to day work and routines to save time.

However, if you’re being forced to change your plans, maybe you’re being helped in the long run, and you may not know it yet.

The OutSystems platform has a node -Exception Handler- to create a flow branch that will handle the actions when an error is raised. This Exception Handler flow follows different behaviors that we will be exploring in this article.

One cool new functionality which is available in the OutSystems Platform is the Localized pictures.

Until now there were already a lot of elements that were translatable, such as Text, button labels, processes, process activities, links, static entities, the list goes on.

But finally, the images join the fun!
