Some errors, especially on views can be huge. This will make it not possible to click on the show database event log unless you zoom out to a tiny zoom level. Please set a maxium for the information thrown. And when too large show a snippet instead. normal zoom:  Zoom level 33% will show the hyper links:  

Hi all,In several applications within our environment, we use File link-domains in the Windows GUI to open files stored on a shared network drive. For example DWG drawings, but also PDFs: Drawings that open in AutoCAD / DWG True ViewIn the Universal GUI this does not work in the same way, because the GUI always downloads the file instead of opening it directly in the default application for the specific file type.As we move from the Windows GUI to the Universal GUI, I am curious to learn what other customers have done to address this.

Be able to assign a quick button to take you directly to "Search". For example assign "F1" button, when pressed,  to take you to "Search"

During development I regularly use the Windows GUI to find relevant information regarding screens, columns, parameters, etc. with the Alt + F1 combination (Path Location). Even though the Universal GUI has “Model Insight”, it is lacking many things the other option is giving.I think it is not the intent of ThinkWise to keep the need for using a different GUI to make your Universal GUI product complete. This idea is to make the “Model Insight” improve its usability and hopefully remove the need for a fall back GUI.Current issues or features missing that I am aware of:References more than 1 level deep, do still show the level 1 reference; References more than 1 level deep, do not show table / variant information; Unable to get info when a grid has no records to click on; No context information (Detail, Master, etc.); No Tab Control (What Detail group is being used); No Domain information; No Task name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; No Report name is mentioned, only the par

This idea originally comes from ​@Harm Horstman, who suggested it in: Right now, Model Insights shows you what you're looking at, but you still have to find it in the Software Factory yourself. Deep links would remove that step and make the jump from runtime to SF instant. The ideaAdd a button next to the copy to clipboard button to all relevant items in Model Insights. Clicking it takes you directly to that object in the Software Factory, such as a table, domain, task, screentype etc.  

I would like to see the Model Insights window to be variable in size. We use very long names and can only see the first part of it.For example: 

When you have assigned rights to a column that has a lookup and later you change the lookup display column, the column becomes unavailable and effectively has no rights anymore. I made a validation to detect columns with lookups that have rights but are unavailable, please add this to the validation basemodel.--Lookup has rights, but is not availableselect rco.* from role_tab rt join role_col_overview rco on rco.model_id = rt.model_id and rco.branch_id = rt.branch_id and rco.role_id = rt.role_id and rco.tab_id = rt.tab_id where rt.model_id = @model_id and rt.branch_id = @branch_id and rt.select_granted = 1 -- own table has rights and rco.col_access_type in (0, 1) --0=edit, 1=read only, 3=hidden and rco.available = 0 and rco.look_up_source_tab_id is not null and rco.sf_type_of_col <> 3 -- meta hidden fieldWhat also could be considered is to automatically assign rights when changing a lookup display column that previously had rights.

Code search is a great tool, but it gives too much results. For debugging a problem in a live application a lot of the results are irrelevant. Most time i only want to see task templates, triggers and procedure templates. To find which task/trigger etc affects a certain table. My suggestion would be:add a checkbox: exclude non-assigned templates (active by default)add a checkbox: exclude gui templates (this only shows code that would impact results, so only templates for tasks, procedures, subroutines, triggers (i might forget one here?) 

Currently printing files is only possible from Windows. To increase platform indepedence I would like to see file printing implemented on Linux as well.Follow-up for: 

When we do our upgrades (every 3 weeks) of our applications we take the application offline (deactivate in IAM) right before we execute the source code on the database and we put it back online after the IAM sync.However as time goes on our model grows and the IAM sync action in SF is taking up to 8min right now, the majority of that time goes into generating the sync code. If we could generate the sync code separately from the actual sync this would decrease the required downtime for upgrades by a big percentage because you could generate the sync code before taking the application offline. On top of that it is pretty easy to forget to do an IAM sync, it would be nice to have it part of the creation process/screen.
