Option to hide collapsible formCompleted

Hi all, I use the tab page option to create a division between two groups in a form. This way, a specific layout is possible. In platform upgrade 2025.1 the collapsible form is introduced, triggered by the tabpage option. However, there is no option to hide the clickable part of the collapsible form. I want the layout to be the same, without the blue bar. Tab pages create collapsible forms with a clickable part (light blue bar) It would be nice to have the option to keep the layout of tab pages in Universal and hide the clickable part. One way to implement this, is to create a checkbox in Subjects → Component → Form. When selected (by default) the clickable part is shown and the form can be collapsed. When the checkbox is empty, the clickable part is not shown, the form is not collapsible, but the layout is the same. An option to hide the collapsible form can be implemented in this section. Kind regards, Rick

Use subject to determine preview documentOpen

The preview of a document (or url) is determined by the first eligable column in a table. When there are multiple columns in a table that could provide a preview, it is not possible to specify which of those columns to use. A possible work-a-round is to create multiple views were for each view the relevant column is the first one. This however is not an optimal solution because the end-user would have to switch tabs to navigate to the specific view with only a subset of the data. In our situation we work with different renditions of the same document which can have different storage locations and with that different column types. Although every rendition is a separat record, the different storage types are available in the same record and only the first will be used for the preview. The list of documents can contain documents from different storage locations where only the first technical column shows the preview. My proposal is to, in stead of the technical location, use the definitio

Which document to preview

Hi, As I understood a document is previewed when it is the first column found in the table. Although in most situations this would suffice, I wonder if it is possible to have this be the first visible column in the table (i.e. based on the subject and layout procedure)? We already have all our documents (i.e. renditions) in a separate table, but within a document/rendition record we provide the possiblity for different storage options: cloud (Azure) or on premises (fileshare) which are based on different domains referencing their respective store definition. Based on the configuration of the system we want to show the cloud column or the share column. This can even be specified on the rendition type of the document (active documents in de cloud, archived documents on a share or vice versa). In any case, only one of those columns is visible at any time. Any thoughts in how this could be realized?

Release notes Indicium (2025.1.15)release notes

Hello everyone, In this release, we have updated the library that connects to OpenAI and Azure OpenAI. Note that you should switch to a supported chat model if you use an LLM completion process flow connector, as some legacy models are no longer supported. You can read more about Indicium's features in the Indicium user manual. About Indicium Two types of the Thinkwise Indicium Application Tier are available: Indicium Basic (EoL): for use with the Windows GUI and Mobile GUI.

Import a base model into a work modelOpen

It is currently possible to link a base model to a work model. But if you want to change something, you will have to do it in the base model. This makes it impossible to integrate it with other objects of your model. I would like to have the option to import a full base model into a work model instead of just linking it. Basically the same result as using the ‘Unlink generated object’ on all objects of the base model. This would make it easier to integrate Thinkstore projects into our own projects.

Merge base model into work: editable objects?

“Our philosophy is that Thinkstore solutions are a foundation—something you can build upon and tailor to your specific needs.” ​@Remco Kort (From Black Box to Clear Logs | Thinkwise Community) How can we build upon Thinkstore solutions?When linking a base model to a work model, everything is read-only in the work model (which I understand). However I would have expected that using the task ‘Merge base models into work model’ would solve this, but this seems not the case. When using this task, ‘generated_by_control_proc_id’ is still filled with ‘Copied from base model’ leaving all objects from the base model still read-only in my work model. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Indicium handling of multiple application system flows - parallel or sequential?

We have an application (in this particular case, still on 2022.2) with several application scheduled system flows, of which some flows run very frequently : system flow 1 ‘generate’ - generates new data (interval 5 seconds)system flow 2 ‘print’ - executes print jobs - ZPL to Zebra (interval 1 second) Handling flow 2 ‘print’ may take some time to execute. This should not result in delayed execution of flow 1. Does Indicium handle the different system flows parallel or sequential?Is this configurable for parallel execution, and how?

How to run multiple Universal containers side-by-side

I'd like to be able to run multiple Docker containers with Universal GUI so each one can have its own default meta server and application. Using the documented Docker compose method with Traefik I've tried to add a pathprefix for Universal GUI just like with Indicium but it doesn't work. Can Universal be served under a URL with the format https://host/pathprefix and if so what's a working config? Follow-up of

From Black Box to Clear LogsBlog

It’s Friday afternoon when you get the following message from a user: “The application is slow” 😅. No other information—maybe a screenshot, if you’re lucky. But where do you start? There are many things that can make an application “slow.” And what does “slow” even mean? To begin identifying performance issues, it’s essential to have statistics—to know which procedures are slowing things down. The Thinkstore offers a new solution to help: the Application Log. What Is the Application Log? The Application Log is a way to track all tasks, subroutines (stored procedures), handlers, and triggers executed in your Thinkwise application. It logs the essentials, such as which procedure was executed, its parameter values, and execution time. It also captures other procedures that were called during the execution, giving you a clear view of what downstream code was triggered Another use case for the Application Log is business auditing. When combined with the ‘Trace Fields’ solution from the Thi

Getting files from Azure into Database

Hello everyone, We are currently trying to send emails via the MS Graph API. This has worked very well so far. Now it is specifically about adding file attachments. Some of the attachments are stored in Azure and therefore have to be written to the database as a byte array before sending. The reason for this is the fact that we have to keep emails and attachments together and of course the byte array has to be converted into a Base64 for sending. So how do we get the files individually from Azure into our database as varbinary(max)? Does anyone have any ideas or experience? Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Clickable Breadcrumb path Universal GUIOpen

The breadcrumb path in the Universal GUI looks like a clickable Windows Explorer setup, but it's not. When going through some software with a stakeholder they were wondering why they couldn't click the breadcrumb path to move back to the last screen or even the one before that. An excellent idea I thought! I hereby forward it. Let's have a clickable breadcrumb path to navigate more smoothly like you would in an explorer browser.

Add custom Menu items to topbar in Universal GUIOn the backlog

It would be great to be able to add Menu items to the topbar in the Universal GUI. I presume this is not new to the Universal development team. It is becoming quite common for applications to have a few icons to the top right (next to the User icon) with usefull features. If we would have the ability to ‘pin’ certain Menu items to the topbar, we come a long way I believe.These Menu items could be displayed as small Icons, including Badge symbols. Some ideas for which I believe this feature would be valuable: My Tasks: a list with all Open Tasks for that User. Badge symbol to show nr of Open Tasks My Workflow/Approvals: a list with all Pending Approvals/Reviews for that User. Badge symbol to show nr of Pending items Notifications: a list with all notifications for the user (we are considering a feature to Subscribe to specific records, triggering a notification if certain activity is happening on that record) Help: a link to page/context-specific User Instructions

Styling update of the Universal GUIBlog

Now that customer success is the focus of the Universal GUI, we can prioritize User Experience too.This blog is the first step, introducing quick win UI Styling updates that require no Model changes or changes in User Experience. Later, we'll introduce and discuss Data Density improvements and more comprehensive UX & Universal Theme implementations. In the past years a lot of features have been added to the Universal GUI, but in the meantime the visual side of this interface hasn’t changed a lot. Comparing our Universal GUI to other enterprise applications, we do notice that our interface lacks a little conviction. We want to improve on this together with you, to ensure that our ideas support you and your users. So please, join in the conversation and let us know what you think. We took the Insights application as a benchmark.

Look-up value in cubeOn the backlog

I'd like to see the look-up value of a table in a cube. For example when I want to show the employee, now I have to use employee_name, thats fine. But often I'd like to create a reference between the cube/view and employee, so I have to add employee_id too, now we have two columns what could be one if the cube supported look-up values.

Selection multiple row: dark mode: the selected row not clearly visible

We also tried changing the colors in “Themes”, but without any good results. Is there any other possibility to change the color palette for more visibility of the selected rows in a grid?

Support custom messages on custom constraintsOn the backlog

It is possible to create a custom constraint on a table, so you can add specific checks without having to create a trigger. The message can be created with a dynamic model procedure like this: insert into #msg( msg_id ,msg_description ,msg_location_id ,severity ,msg_error_code ,msg_regular_expression )select 'err_check_constraint_' + tcc.check_constraint_id as msg_id , 'Translation for check constraint error: ' + tcc.check_constraint_id as msg_description , 'popup' as msg_location_id , 0 as severity --error , 547 as msg_error_code --error code when check constraint fails , '.*"' + tcc.check_constraint_id + '".*' as msg_regular_expression --regex that will find the specific constraint from tab_check_constraint tcc where tcc.model_id = @model_id and tcc.branch_id = @branch_id and tcc.generated_by_control_proc_id is null --only manual Then, you have to search in generated translation objects, or the message, with the name of the constraint in it. It would be very helpful, when you can tra

How to open reports in the browser instead of embedded in Universal GUI

After the last Universal GUI updates (we switched from 2024 version 3 to 2025 1.14), reports (like PDFs) are opened embedded within the application. We would prefer these documents to open directly in the browser (e.g., Microsoft Edge), like they did previously. Does anyone know how to configure this behavior — for example via path_spec, task action, or another setting — so that the report opens in a new browser tab instead of inside the GUI?
