Different icon for public actions

Backend
On our radar
Having a different icon for public actions would make it easier to distinguish them from non public.

Do not forget also to use name rules for your functions/procedures  in order to keep them organized.
And, of course, the icon will help.
I was about to start a new idea but I think that my suggestion can be included in this one:

Use a differentiating icon when an Error Handler has the property "Abort Transaction" = Yes.

Obvious, this is not critical but I think it can be helpfull.
since we can create them now, anyone got an awesome public action icon? :)
Merged this idea with 'Filter by public actions' (created on 31 Jul 2018 09:00:56 by Pedro Miguel Pimenta)

Add an option in the "Server Actions"  under the right mouse click menu to filter only by public actions.

Hey Pedro,

Although the use case of finding what is public (and the endpoints you are exposing) is very common, they way we want to provide this will hardly be by filtering the public actions using right-click.

Regardless the specific solution, I'll merge this idea with this one where we want a different icon (or any other visual difference) between public and private actions.

Cheers

Add a "filter on Public" beside the object tree, and extra indicator beside the item when it is consumed be another Module, so non used public items can be found easily.

If the eSpace was already published, a (reasonably) easy workaround to see its public actions/entities/etc. is by opening the Add/Remove References window in a different eSpace.

But you're right about the second suggestion. There's no other way than going one by one and using "Find Usages in all eSpaces".

There have been other requests to show a different icon next to public actions and entities.

Merged this idea with 'As a developer I want to directly see visibility of action and if it is function or not.' (created on 07 Dec 2018 09:52:32 by Sampsa Sohlman)

Dear OutSystems product management,

As looking someone else logic it is really frustrating that I'm unable to see right away if the action is private or public and also if it is a function or not?
