Filter Concepts - what's your opinion?Blog

Hi everyone!In this blog I want to take you through my thought process regarding the Filter, Sort, and Search functionalities in the Universal GUI. I’m introducing a couple of concepts for which I’m particularly curious to hear your thoughts. IntroductionOver time functionality has been gradually added, each of which has improved the Universal GUI. However, we also notice that it can resulted in a more cluttered and less intuitive user interface where certain elements are hidden or not very user-friendly.Based on my own review, drawing from my experiences and comparing with best practices around Filter, Sort, and Search, I came to the following conclusion:Filters are hidden: The filtering option is not immediately visible and is buried under the … menu. Unclear status of active filters: While filtered results are shown after applying a filter, the positioning of the filter interface is not always intuitive, making it hard to find and unclear whether a filter is currently active. Sort:

🚀 Platform improvements for week 16hotfix

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2025.120250414 - Return default global configuration extended properties when none specified The procedure responsible for returning global configuration extended properties would not return the data of the default global configuration when no global configuration ID was specified. This has been fixed. 20250417 - Improve performance of get_gui_drag_drop_link We made a change to the underlying view that ensures procedure get_gui_drag_drop_link returns unique records. However, this had the potential to decrease the performance and even lead to timeouts. This has been fixed. SF 2025.120250417 - List included index columns for non-clustered history table indexes Non-clustered (history) index columns that were set to be 'Included' were not included in the generated code due to an oversight. This has been fixed. 20250418 - Improve sync data processing for role_tab_variant_look_up The step to synchronize model dat

Slow IAM sync of roles version 2025.1

I am upgrading our SF to version 2025.1 (from version 2023.1) and i am running some test upgrades to see how smoothly this will go and what the changes are. We are running on SQL Server 2019.I noticed that when i do an iam synchronisation of a “new” branch to an IAM that this executes faster than before 😀. But when i change some roles and do an IAM synchronisation of an existing branch in the target IAM that the synchronisation process takes forever. In the example above i stopped the process because it took to long. In Management Studio i see it is working on this query. The role_tab_variant_look_up table has more than 750k lines.Also in general i occasionally experience that merge statements sometimes take very long.Anyone else ever experienced the same problems and fixed it.

Zoom a detail to a floating document directlyWorking on it!

When double clicking on a row in a detail, you now will open a new main document with that detail. Sometimes it is useful when this new document becomes floating, so one can check some data on this document and the original document. To help the user minimise mouse clicking, we would like the document to be floating directly.I suggest to make this option configurable in the model, so the developer can configure on a subject how the zoom action will be performed.For now it is a hard way to model this:for each detail one would like to have this functionality is needed:a task containing the primary key of the subject, add it as a table task, with double click on record “on”a process flow, with the tab task as starting point. A process action opening the document required, and a process action to filter the new document to the requested primary keyAlso, the main screen type of the subject should be the zoom screen type, in order to get the result needed. One even might have to create a va

Filter form with default valuesNew

I noticed that in the past this was requested but didn't get enough votes.But in 5 years a lot can happen so I hope it's possible to ask for this functionality again?I have a grid with a lot of data and I want to be able to show all the records with date A and maybe next I want to see all records with date B.I can make prefilters but a prefilter only accounts for e.g. “today” of a seperate one for “yesterday” but not dynamically for x days ago.For this I've added a filterform and I would like to be able to set the date dropdown to a default value of today.I hear you say, use a prefilter for “today” and let the user pick a different date from the filterform when they need a different date.My experience is that the customer starts calling me because no records are found because he filters for “2014-02-14” AND the prefilter for “today” is also on.I'll tel them to use the “turn of prefilters chackbox” or manually turn of the “today” prefilter but there are many users and even those I’ve in

Active prefilter indicator svg versus png

We prefer using SVG for icons, but the circle around active prefilters with a png icon are more clear It is also difficult to find a optimal solution, that works for dark and light modeHopefully this can be improved a little.

Make indicium developer mode an appsettings settingUnder review

Currently to set indicium to developer mode you have to amend the webconfig. On an upgrade I often forget to keep the original webconfig. Would it be possible to move this setting to the appsettings file instead? Then we have one place to configure all settings. And less risk of overwriting this setting.

Promote Columns for Collapsible Sections for Universal GUI FormsOpen

Now that the great new feature Collapsible Sections for Universal GUI Forms have been added to the Universal GUI, I have a further improvement for this feature. It would be great if you could set the visibility for the columns of that section to show the data of the most important columns of that section when it is collapsed.See this below example of another ERP application that has this functionality. When hoovering over the data that application shows the label and the data as a tooltip.Example promoted columns for Collapsed sectionTooltip when hoovering promoted column

HTML Editor Feature RestrictionsOpen

I would like the ability to disable certain features in the HTML editor. For example, the option to set a default font and then make the font selection read-only.Currently, our users can format and send emails using the HTML editor. However, in this context, we don't want to give them the option to choose their own font; we want to enforce a standard/default font instead. It's a bit like this idea, only with more functionality.

Pop-up screen not working as main screen

Hi, The popup screen type of a table variant is not working as I expect it to in a task.I have a cases screen for which I created a table variant, named cases_menu. The cases_menu variant serves as a screen where users search for their cases. Since there are a lot of cases, the setting ‘Start empty with filter’ is turned on. This works perfectly when accessing the screen from the menu. However, when using a task that opens the cases_menu variant as a popup, the variant is opened with data. This defeats the purpose of the start empty with filter checkbox.Table variant with popupTable variant popup with dataAdditionally, the task below should open a form of the cases screen, which is assigned and made available in the cases_menu variant, but doesnt work. Now this could be solved with a form detail, but since the user is used to double clicking a case, I would like it that the double click opens an additional popup/zoom.Kind regards,Mark

Permission error on trigger

Users with full rights on a certain table get an error message about a trigger on that table:Cannot find the object "table_td" because it does not exist or you do not have permissions.The trigger does exist however and with an account with sysadmin rights this error doesn't occur.What's a possible solution here?

IAM taks to apply roles & rights: how to workaround 2 applications on same db

In the IAM you have 2 taks to apply roles & user rights on the DB, and that one gives a notice when I have 1 model 2 applications that point to the same DB.De rechten van deze applicatie kunnen niet toegepast worden omdat er andere applicaties actief zijn op dezelfde database en server. Although I understand the reason this check is there, however it is only viable when the applications have different models I guess. Situation is as follows, there is 1 model, 2 applications (each with a distinct context variable and some other contextual difference like color) that point to the same database (it's not an option to separate the DB).Due to this check I cannot sync the roles, and as the applications have the same model/version it should be allowed to do this. As for the user-rights, it appears this can also run perfectly fine when the model/version is equal between the applications, as the user-list looks at the users of the Tenant, not specifically users that are present in the auth

Getting output header information through a process flow in a web connection connector

Hey Community,I have the following question.I’m trying to upload an Excel document in our application by using the file API of Thinkwise.I had this working via the http connector and now i am trying to change this to the web connection connector.Now I am encountering the following problem:When I am uploading the Excel document a staging table is being created. When this is created a header output gives me the ‘location’ GUID that is needed to commit the staging table.When the staging table has been successfully created the header above is being returned. In this header lies the ‘location’ key in which the GUID can be found to commit the table in a later step of my process flow.My question now is as follows: How do I get the output header or more specifically the location key from the header as an output parameter in my web connection.In the working http connection it was programmed as the following image shows. Now i have the following in my web connection connector. The proces flow

System flow - logging

Hi,As we develop more and more system flows, it would be handy to have a tool where we can see all of the logging steps of the running system flows for debug purposes.I was checking in IAM and could not see any logs there except the running flows start and end date.Is something I can look for somewhere else?

Manual procedures on database outside the software factory

Hi, we currently have some procedures on our project database which we’ve manually added to the database instead of through the Software Factory. We have several reasons for doing this.I thought the Software Factory wouldn’t drop objects in schema’s other than dbo. I think I read some other question which mentioned objects in other schema’s wouldn’t be dropped but I can’t find it now. It’s also mentioned in this documentation: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/blog/2023.2#deployment---only-dropping-objects-in-dbo-schema Our manual procedures exist in a different schema but the Software Factory still tries to drop them and this causes errors.This is part of the code in execute source code which tries to drop our procedures: /* Drop all procedures */declare @procedure_name varchar(255)declare drop_objects cursor fast_forward forselect quotename(s.name)from sysobjects swhere s.type = 'P' and s.name not like 'def$_%' escape '$' -- Do not drop defaults. and s.name not like 'lay$_%' e

How to put loggings to display in error logs

Hello, Would like to check on how to put loggings on Functionality or Process flow, that will show/display in the error logs. For troubleshooting or debugging. Currently we are having some issue in the system, and I would like to put loggings.The functionality is control procedure (Tasks ) and using merge script template. To give a small background of the implementation, we have process flow to import data in the system, the import data is a json file from other system. Sample error we encounter is below. I would like to put a logging to pin point exactly which data is causing an error. Table name: order_lineCannot insert the value NULL into column 'order_id', table 'dbo.order_line'; column does not allow nulls.
