Idea for helptext in universalNeeds feedback

Hey Community, For our partner were looking for an easy way to convey more guiding information on how to use the application. One part of the application is for external use and has to be focused on the usability. What would help us immensely is the ability to create information buttons where we can put the extra information about a field when the label just isn’t enough. An example on how we would like to see said button is presented in the image below:Would love to hear your ideas on this topic. With kind regards,Jeffrey

Creation doesn't add newly added column

When I started with Thinkwise a few years ago our team was not completely using the Creation steps the way I was taught during the training.For completeness: we usually add a column, table or domain to TW and manually add it to the db using SSMS. The problem is that it is easy to forget to add the correct constraints etc… So periodically I would delete my DEV version and rebuild the db from scratch and then compare (using Redgate SQL compare) DEV to TEST, ACC and PROD.I'm trying to correct that but I keep running into situations that I need to manually alter the existing db.I've started out with a newly generated db for branche A and did some development work on this branchIn branch B I've added a new column to a table and did some development that uses that columnNow I’ve merged A and B to MAIN and made a new branch from MAIN which I'll call branch CWhen I load the new combined branch C I can see that the new column from branch B is existing.But when I run Creation > Generate defin

task parameter "next column" works in Windows GUI but not in Universal GUI

Hi,I finally was able to fully upgrade to 2025.1 and fix all validations that prevented me from using the Universal GUI (only remaining is the Excel style filtering 🤐).I'm currently testing one of our applications in the Universal GUI and I notice that there is a discrepancy between the Windows- and the Universal GUI while displaying, at least one of my, dialogs:Even though I’ve set in the SF that the edit_unloading (Lossen aanpassen) checkbox should be at the top of the next column it is shown not at the top of the next column in the Universal GUI.I suspect that the Universal GUI uses a maximum height for the dialog and because of that moves the add_remark group to the next column!?Is there anything I can do to prevent this?But that wouldn't account for this similar situation in the same application: The fact that Universal choose to use 4 columns instead of 3 isn't a real big issue, I only added a “Field in next column” for the first “dagplanpartij” so the GUI is free to pick the 3

Upgrade your Card Lists with 4 Simple TweaksBlog

At the Thinkwise Developer Event 2025 I gave a technical session about how to get creative with cardlists using HTML. This accompanying blog is a short summary with practical pointers and code to get you started on creating your own HTML cardlists. What is a cardlist?The Cardlist is a screen component with the following characteristics:1 Column, no horizontal scrollbar, full width Variable ride height Fields on top of each other Responsive Read Only No Header Only for Universal GUI Cardlists are ideal for:Small device screens, like mobile phones and barcode scanners Navigation Mini dashboards Sometimes the result of a standard implementation within the Software Factory may produce a result that is not quite how you would like it. The fields are displayed below each other and it is possible to display 1 icon or thumbnail of an image. Example:With the 4 Tweaks below you can easily give your Card List a completely different look and feel. Soon you will find out that it is quite simple to

Show mandatory status and domain type in data migrationOpen

When adding new columns you also have to set up data migration. There is however no indication in this screen which columns are mandatory or what the domain type is. Adding a column to show the mandatory status and domain type would make this screen easier to use without the need to switch between data model and data migration.

Process flow monitor for system flows without developer mode

Hi,Is it possible to use the process flow monitor for system flows in a test, acc, or production environment? I think it only works if you are in developer mode and in all environments except DEV I do not get the option to test a system flow.How can I solve this? I am now missing the option to select a system flow and application when I start the process flow monitor.

SQL Database Single user mode error

Hi all,I want to anonymize data on a database. However, I cannot set my database to ‘Single User Mode’.I get the following error: I saw on that I have to set HADR to off, however I get this message: ‘Msg 40517, Level 16, State 1, Line 2Keyword or statement option 'hadr' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.’ The database is hosted on Azure. Is there a setting in Azure I need to alter? Kind regards,Rick

Automatically squash data migration in merge session.Needs feedback

We would like to specify during merging (or, if necessary, during an upgrade) that data migrations should be squashed. Now this has to be done manually after merging a branch, and if forgotten, data could be lost. If this can be specified with a check mark in the merge session, which is on by default, that would be nice. It could also possibly be done at the start of an upgrade, but the preference for us is before the merge session.

Download file returns unreadable data

Hi, I am running into an issue with downloading zipped data, since it returns unreadable data.The flow I have created looks as follows: The table task sets some parameters, like the folder which needs to be zipped, for the ZIP file process action. The ZIP file returns the binary data of the zipped files in the folder. The download file action is feeded the binary data from the ZIP file. This return something like the following in my downloads: PK V´Z«H[Ï!z A¨ 2_ROOS NV_346514_14-05-2025.pdfÔ»y<›k¿.žÎƒªª©¥h«hKX©5®VMUMÑš‚´UCDdµ„Ô”NæbaaáEÍm 5Dˆ¥¦ªª¤‚¨YH$qž®wÿöÙ¿wŸ?öÞç¯“|îOâÉýÜÏ=|ÇëúR¾sÃ|IC[ô°rAaRªèaÓ¿œF=ô=lh¨y÷éož§5 }==OkÚ£þ}ÅThe download file returns a 0 as successfull as well as the zip file action. As you can see, the data from the download file process action does have some resemblance of the zip_file_content which makes me assume that the zipped file data is actually downloaded. However, this is not usefull for the application user. The downloaded data should be a zipped

Visibility of mandatory fields in the Universal GUI

I've just recently upgraded to the 2025.1 version and I'm preparing the switch from the Windows GUI to the Universal GUI.I've noticed that the mandatory fields in the Universal GUi are a lot less visible than they used to be in the Windows GUI.Is there a simple way to make them a different colour like in this screenshot where I used a conditional layout (condition similar to 5 != 6) to force that this field is shown in Gold?Technically I could think of a query that automagically adds the desired conditional layout for every task field where “mandatory” is set to true to easily force this but that fielss like a very dirty hack 🙄Mainly because that is not what the conditional layout is for and it might even conflict with existing ones….

Webpage can not find document

Hi, In my application I am trying to download a file that has been stored in a folder in a local file storage location. The file storage location is configured for the environment I am on.However, I am getting the following error when trying to open the file:The column that has the storage location is indeed file_name_queue. But the file_id is null, which would suggest to me that the file is not found. The file is stored in the folder of the storage location. What could be a reason that the file_id is null?

Indicium API performance - large table transfer

For BI purposes we want to make a call on the Indicium API and retrieve a large table from our application. The table has over 22 million records. We did some testing and the throughput is appr. 1 million records per 12,5 minutes, so we estimate almost 5 hours total transfer time. We want to speed up the process; it is a nightly job. But, we also are looking into transferring the data during office hours, but the gui becomes inresponsive during the process. My questionshow can we increase the performance? is it possible to create a second endpoint that will relieve the pressure on the gui endpoint? if we would upload the data to another API, would that be faster or give less strain on indicium?
