https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com Stay up to date on the latest official Thinkwise news and participate in discussions regarding Thinkwise services & products https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/smoke-test-gives-false-positive-6916 I have a few smoke tests that seem to be weird.I have a prefilter like:t1.sales_manager_user_id = (select top (1) u.user_id from dbo.users as u where u.tsf_user = dbo.tsf_user() and u.sales_manager = 1)My dev user isn't setup in dbo.users so dbo.tsf_user() won’t find me.The smoke test tests:-- Prefilter appointment_list.i_am_sales_managerselect top 1 * from ( select 0 as tsf_dummy from "appointment_list" t1) t1where sales_manager_user_id = (select top (1) u.user_id from dbo.users as u where u.tsf_user = dbo.tsf_user() and u.sales_manager = 1)and gives:Invalid column name 'sales_manager_user_id'.But the colum does exist in dbo.appointment_list but it doesn't in the subquery that is used by the smoketest generator (what is tsf_dummy doing here?):select 0 as tsf_dummy from "appointment_list" t1In my perception the prefilter query is added in runtime as a simple where clause:SELECT *FROM "appointment_list" t1WHERE sales_manager_user_id = ( SELECT TOP (1) u.user_id FROM dbo.users AS u WHERE u.tsf_user = dbo.tsf_user() AND u.sales_manager = 1 );And this works flawlessly.Am I missing someting or is my smoketest missing something?   Questions & Conversations Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:26:36 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/how-to-get-a-proper-layout-for-this-form-in-universal-6915 Hi,In the past we managed to create a very nice form list grid in the Windows GUI: Every line in the invoice is shown here with dynamic labels.It is build using a VIEW and for most fields the label width is set to 0. The shown labels are fields in the VIEW which we can manipulate. For example the ‘Totaal (€)` could have been `Totaal ($)` if that specific row had prcies in dollars. This way we were able to use dynamic field labels (I think that is a native option in Universal?) and by setting the exact sizes in pixels we were able to get it all nicely positioned.The exact same screens looks wildly different in the Universal gui: In the universal gui, as it is a web interface I guess, it doesn’t adhere to the pixel sizes but uses the Max. form-col space (%) which makes it virtually impossible to position the fields at the exact location I need them to be. It’s already way better than it originally was but for example the fields which I filled with “NULL” to make them visible are completely off.Any suggestions, if in fact it is possible to alter the label text in runtime (layout or default procs) I might be able to ditch the label columns in my view and reinstate the real labels. In the universal gui these are inside the fields so maybe I can get a better result with that approach?  Questions & Conversations Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:35:19 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/copy-to-clipboard-form-6907 We are running SF 2026.1.11  Recently I started using Copy to clipboard (form) on certain domain entities. I only now encounter the issue that when I want to edit in a grid, the column is not available for new or existing rows. It works fine on tasks and forms, but can't change data in a grid edit?

Questions & Conversations Mon, 27 Jul 2026 10:44:45 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/what-happend-with-edit-in-grid-6878 The Edit in Grid mode, as we knew it from previous versions, no longer seems to be available. Is there any plan to bring this functionality back?We would very much like to see it return, allowing end users to enable Edit in Grid for specific datasets. The ability to navigate from record to record and modify field values directly within the grid, without having to repeatedly click Save and Edit for each change, was very powerful.This functionality is also missed in the Software Factory, where it provided a much more efficient editing experience.Could you share whether this feature is on the roadmap? Questions & Conversations Mon, 27 Jul 2026 09:29:39 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/use-value-from-other-field-as-default-for-field-in-form-6914 We have a form with settings for customers that is used for 2 types of customer, where one of those is basically a parent to the other. For a lot of fields the rule is that the setting of the parent is valid as long as the field is empty in the form of the child.This works fine, but we would like to be able to show the value that is used for the parent in the form of the child so it is clear which settings are used for the child.I think this basically means we would like to use an expression as the default for the childs form. That way we can show the parent's value without actually having to copy and store the value to the field on the form of the child.  Mon, 27 Jul 2026 07:42:47 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/ability-to-show-table-tasks-on-grid-line-518 We would like to have the ability to show table tasks on a grid line. This is especially useful for the mobile GUI and when just a couple of table tasks are available. Currently you can show tasks on the top or bottom of a grid in mobile. To start a task for a specific record you should select a line first and then select the concerning task. In the described case it is faster to select the task direct on the line. See print screens for further explanation.

Mainstream support by Microsoft has ended July 2025. As per our lifecycle policy, official support for this version will be discontinued in a future release.As it stands, Thinkwise Platform LTS 2026.3 and STS 2026.2.11 will no longer officially support SQL Server 2019 and will require SQL Server 2022 or higher. Note that the current release of the Thinkwise Platform (version 2026.2) still supports SQL Server 2019.Impact on the platform databasesThe Software Factory (SF) and the Intelligent Application Manager (IAM) are planned to leverage T-SQL language features exclusive to SQL Server 2022 and up. The Deployment Center will prevent installation or upgrade of an SF or IAM to version 2026.2.11 and beyond when the SQL Server version is 2019 or lower, or the database compatibility level is equal to or below 150.Impact on product databasesSQL Server product databases running on SQL Server 2019 do not have to be upgraded directly on release of Thinkwise Platform 2026.2.11. However, runtime components with version number 2026.2.* and higher may start using SQL Server 2022 language features on a moment’s notice.Furthermore, Software Factory version 2026.2.11 may not be able to upgrade, deploy or test product databases using SQL Server 2019. To be able to continue development on the product, upgrading to SQL Server 2022+ will be required.The changes in SQL Server version support will be reflected in the lifecycle policy.It is forecasted that the end of support for SQL Server 2022 will be January 2028. Sat, 25 Jul 2026 14:01:56 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/set-hidden-column-to-authorized-on-role-6693 When a column is set to hidden and this column is not a PK, the column is often not supplied through Indicium. This is fine for most cases. However sometimes there are columns that should be hidden inside an application but should be available through Indicium. For example, an Interface ID column.Currently the only way to make this column available in Indicium is by setting the column to editable or read only and set it to hidden on grid, form and cardlist.I would like the option to enable a checkbox on role level that will make a hidden column authorized. This should result in the column being supplied through Indicium for this specific role.This way these kinds of columns can be made available to interfaces and remain hidden inside our application. Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:26:02 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/allow-users-to-change-their-timezone-6585 Currently as a user you can change several settings related to how you would like to use an application. Which setting you can set, is configured through IAM.I am missing 1 important setting in this. A setting to change the Timezone I’m using. Since all other settings related to your location (date format, language, number format) can be changed through this window, I would expect that the Timezone can also be changed from within this window. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 21:08:55 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/limit-on-the-export-that-could-be-made-6746 From a privacy and security perspective, it would be beneficial to introduce a limit on the maximum number of records that can be exported from the system.At present, exports can only be fully enabled or completely blocked. We would like the option to configure a maximum export limit—for example, allowing users to export no more than 100 rows per export.  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:25:48 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/lookup-control-option-for-grid-filter-6781 Hello!I created this idea as result of this post: Basically, what we suggest is that there should be an option to specify the lookup control for grid filters, we received feedback from users about this and since that can be changed for form/tasks, will be nice to have it also in here.Regarding performance mentioned in the post, one solution can be to have the sort defined and then pick top 100 for example and if you don't have what you want there to still be able to type and search it.   Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:11:27 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/make-screentype-design-changes-require-an-active-save-action-6855 When moving components around of a screen type it now is saved immediately. Please change it how it was in the older versions where an active “Save” was required to confirm your changes.When you now move a component and the result if the placement has an unintended result, your screen type is  now ruined. Since the order of how you move component can be quite important to not completely mess up the already setup specification in width/height, a mistake can happen quite easily. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:00:22 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/make-the-activated-detail-tab-smarter-when-switching-rows-to-support-different-variants-6810 Often there are situations where you want to show a different tab-variant as a detail tab based on a specific property of the selected row in the main grid. This is possible by making multiple references and let the context procedure only show the detail tab with the tab-variant based on the property value.When there are multiple detail tabs for the main subject, this has one major downside though: Normally the GUI remembers the activated detail tab when the user switches rows in the main grid. However when the context procedure switches the reference for a different tab-variant, it activates the first visible detail tab.This creates inconsequent behaviour for the user when switching rows in the main grid because sometimes it does keep the same detail tab activated and sometimes it doesn’t. From the user perspective, the different references to the same detail tab are the same thing.To improve the behaviour of cases when the activated detail tab becomes hidden by a context procedure, the GUI/Indicium should prefer activating the first visible detail tab of the same target table as the previous activated detail tab (before activating the first visible detail tab).An alternative (instead of checking if it is the same target table) could be that it activates the first visible detail tab with the same translation value.  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:59:39 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/disable-aggregations-for-groups-for-specific-subjects-6858 In Release notes Thinkwise Platform 2026.1.11 | Thinkwise Community aggregations for groups were added. Unfortunately there is only an extended property to disable this for all subjects.Please make it possible to disable aggregations for groups on specific subjects.    Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:59:18 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/showing-columns-moved-to-query-suffixed-tables-as-a-detail-of-their-parent-table-in-the-sf-6910 Query fields were moved to _query-suffixed tables in the 2026.2 version of SF. As a result model-info is no longer (correctly) usable on any query field. This is inconvenient when you want to develop dynamic functionality or query metadata at a higher level. I happen to be aware of this change from the latest SF release because I was involved with upgrading to the 2026.2, but a developer who was not involved in the upgrade would have a very difficult time figuring out where the query columns are actually stored. It would require a significant amount of investigation and trial-and-error to uncover the correct locations.My suggestion would be to add the _query-suffixed tables as a detail in the form of their parents to alleviate this issue. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:58:48 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/semi-colons-separated-attachments-for-smtp-connector-storage-attachments-path-6908 I might as well have used the title "Semi-colons separated attachments for Email-connector (Storage attachments path)”, as the problem exists for both cases.I've been directed the a similar idea for Disk files attachements. Initially placed in the community as a question, but now I made an idea for it. Probably this idea will be merged to the Disk files idea.We want to get rid of local file storage and completely move to cloud storage ( for uploads amongst others). So the idea of having to move one or more, sometimes quite large files, to a separate folder, ZIP it en then send the ZIP file as an attachment doesn't really appeal to us (and is not very professional, as the customer has to figure out what is what in the ZIP file). See also Semi-colons separated attachments for email-connector (Disk files) | Thinkwise Community and **SMTP connector: sending multiple attachments from an S3 file storage location?** | Thinkwise Community  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:58:34 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/make-the-preview-component-abide-by-theme-colour-6903 Have the preview component also abide by the theme colour it is set to.When there is no document/image to be shown or the size of it is way smaller than the component, it would be nice that the none relevant part of the component is actually similar to the theming colour.Working in dark mode and getting flash banged by the preview component is not fun. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:58:16 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/visualise-put-to-background-running-tasks-reports-6902 On a Task or Report you can set the “Await result” value to “Optional”, so a user can move the process to the background when he/she does not want to wait for the result. In the older GUI’s you had them available in the “Running tasks” window and could see then progress on them. Running tasks windows (Win GUI)Unfortunately this feature is missing from the Universal GUI. When you have put several processes to the background, you have no clear idea what is still running and what has already completed or maybe even failed. A notification is not a valid solution to this problem, so this idea is for the return of such a feature.I am all for it to being a configurable entity, so you can also decide not to support this window in your application.Maybe it should even support the “Await result” value “No” to appear here, but perhaps we could also have other users give their opinion about this statement.

Then you switch rows on the main list. And go to the same detail but the detail is still filtered on the previously used filtering so you don’t see any rows until you remove the previously used filtering. I find this very confusing please clear the filtering on a detail when the main row is switched.  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:55:15 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/push-notifications-iam-on-provisioning-6898 As application managers / admins of a system it would be very helpful to know when a new user made their first login so you can assign them the correct rights.

Especially when an action could have significant impact, it would be nice to know how carefree the pressing of the button is.To improve this from the Windows GUI, make it also show the indicator when a confirm window is relevant. i.e. a Task with hidden parameters, but still has the “Ask confirmation” checked.

A few examples are, in my opinion, a bit unnecessary.Data Model → Columns → Copy columnsI need to add one column before I get access to copy columns. There are situation where even my my first column is existing in another source and the copy would benefit me.Subjects → → Data → Prefilters → Prefilter groupsAs we use prefilter groups a lot, it is more fitting to create those first before starting the prefilters.Subjects → → Links → Tasks → Task groupsSimilar reason as for prefilter groupsSubjects → → Links → Reports → Report groupsSimilar reason as for prefilter groupsThe lasts three also make it impossible to delete an unused “group” when you have no prerequisite available anymore,There are probably more screens that could benefit from this idea, but at least these examples are an occurrence in my daily activity. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:49:06 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/automatically-remove-validation-messages-when-the-related-sf-object-is-deleted-6873 DescriptionWhen I delete an object in the Software Factory, any validation messages related to that object remain in the validation list. To get rid of them, I have to manually re-validate that specific item — an extra step that shouldn't be necessary.A concrete example: I have an "unused domain" validation message. I delete the domain to resolve it. But the validation message stays in the list until I explicitly re-validate the domain — which no longer exists. The message is now stale, but I still have to actively dismiss it.Desired behaviorWhen an SF object is deleted, its associated validation messages are automatically removed from the validation list — no re-validation required.Why does this matter?Validation results are a snapshot in time. Ideally, they would always be fully up to date. This request is a small step in that direction: when you delete something, the messages that are now irrelevant should disappear automatically.Current workaroundAfter deleting the object, manually re-validate that item to clear the message. It's just one click, but it's an unnecessary one — especially when cleaning up objects with multiple validation messages. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:47:22 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/markdown-control-for-rendering-formatted-text-6872 Currently, Thinkwise supports a Multiline control for plain text and an HTML control for formatted text. However, the HTML control requires HTML input, which is difficult to generate and maintain — especially in AI-driven workflows where markdown is the natural output format of language models.A native Markdown control would allow developers to store content as plain markdown text and render it as formatted output (headings, lists, bold/italic, code blocks) in the Universal GUI — read-only in grids and forms.Use cases:AI-generated content (user stories, descriptions, summaries) rendered directly in the application Documentation or knowledge base fields Any field where structured, readable text is needed without the complexity of HTMLProposed behavior:Read-only rendering of markdown in form and card list components In edit mode: plain text editor (like Multiline), or optionally a markdown editor with preview Available as a domain control, similar to how Multiline and HTML are currently offeredThe HTML control already proves there is demand for rich text rendering in Thinkwise applications. Markdown would be a lightweight, developer-friendly complement to it. Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:47:01 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/upgrade-script-should-use-alter-table-alter-column-where-possible-6871 Currently the Upgrade script from the Software Factory will always fully rebuild tables. This can be quite an issue when you for example need to change all your trace columns default values from getdate to getutc date. In this case all tables within your DB will be rebuild. Causing a major load and issue when executing this upgrade.In my case I was unable to run this upgrade because of the LOG created during the upgrade. It was too large, over 100GB. My fix was a manually writing upgrade script, which did not rebuild the tables but simply used an alter table alter column statement.Result was great. Script ran in under 5 minutes. The rebuild script was running over 2 hours and still not finished.I think the Upgrade script should use alter table alter column when possible. Because it is much faster and has a significantly lower load on the server and log files.A few examples when an alter table alter column would be more than enough:Changed domain of a column Renamed a column Changed the default value of a column  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:46:50 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/task-create-merge-session-should-run-as-a-background-task-6870 Currently when you create a merge session the task to create a merge session will lock your Software Factory due to the fact that is waiting for result. I would this to run in the background, since the task sometimes takes 10-15 minutes. During the creating of the merge session, I would like to work within other branches. This can only be done, if you open a 2nd Software Factory.

How or where to have this setting (or perhaps even default behaviour) I’ll leave to the developers of Thinkwise themselves.  Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:20:29 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/change-to-tcp-support-6834 It would be very helpful ifyou can always add info to a ticket, also when it is processing (e.g. when you want to add some info / inform to close ticket). Now you don't have this option (buttons are disabled) to assess a solution, there is only an option to add comment in case you don't accept. But when you accept, it might be useful to add info (got give extra feedback to TW) Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:19:27 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/keep-state-of-document-when-switchen-between-open-documents-in-the-menu-6784 When for example working in the Software Factory, it is not strange to swap between the multiple opened documents. Unfortunately that also means that certain states get returned to their default.Ex:1) You have the Subject entity open and are looking at the columns tab. You have moved your horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the “Context input” column. After having checked something in another document and return to the Subject entity, the scroll bar is again at the start and the “Context input” is again out of sight. Similar behaviour for vertical scrolled grids or forms.2) Another example is the process flow design. You are zooming out to make some space where you intend to put new actions and have some room to move stuff around if needed. After returning it is back to a zoomed in state to just fit all placed actions inside.3) Last example is one of the more annoying ones, which might not entirely fit in this idea as it probably has another cause. You are working on a functionality and have your template open in your IDE and the Thinkwise Workspace Listener is keeping you saved changes in sync. You deploy the current saves state and notice an error. You get back to your IDE to correct this, as the file is still opened, and now the file does not save as it is disconnected.Please keep the state of the document to what it is when leaving it to go to another document, so you continue with what you were doing there.

During the transition phase, both GUIs are active, so we need to support both approaches.At the moment, we are experimenting with a process flow that calls Indicium for report generation.What we would like to achieve is a where we can decide, based on the client type, whether to:execute the exesting Windows-specific reporting task, or execute a Universal/Indicium-based reporting taskSo effectively, detect the active GUI..For testing, we tried select app_name(); This returns:Thinkwise Software Factory in the Windows GUI Indicium in the Universal GUIThis seems to work, but it feels a bit implicit.Questions:Is using app_name() the recommended way to distinguish between Windows and Universal GUI? Is there a more robust or supported method (e.g. via session_context or another mechanism)? What is the best practice for handling GUI-dependent logic like this?Thanks in advance!Blommetje Questions & Conversations Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:00:12 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/excluding-quick-filter-6827 Could an excluding quick filter be made that works similar to the normal quick filter but instead of filtering on the selected value, it excludes the selected value?An example use case is when you go through a list and want to exclude each type that you have viewed until your list is empty.

I can deactivate a prefilter to show inactive customers. The next time I open this screen the prefilter will still be deactivated. Why? The default is there for a reason, it’s the most logical set of prefilters to show the screen when opening. This is one feature where windows gui is still supreme.

However with the introduction of universal there is no clear (default) way to distinguish the environments. In universal you can check information for which platform version you are using, but then you still don’t know which database. This was much easier to distinguish in windows gui. Can we add a setting to show the database name and platform version? I can imagine you don’t want to do this by default. So a setting that can be activated for the development environment to show the database name somewhere would be appreciated. Windows gui: (on openening the gui you can see both the database name and the platform version) Universal: No clue which database or platform i’m looking at. about does show me the platform version:   Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:28:44 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/news-blogs-21/thinkwise-platform-as-mcp-server-6912 Since launch less than 2 years ago, the Model Context Protocol has become the de facto standard for integrating systems with LLM chat interfaces or AI Agents. MCP Servers are popping up everywhere, in varying quality when it comes to capabilities, security and governance. Either software vendors offer an officially supported MCP server, or else unofficial (often vibe-coded) MCP Servers pop up.As with any runtime component, an MCP Server for the Thinkwise Platform should work for all customers and all applications. Developing such a dynamic component takes a bit more time, but in return a Thinkwise-provided MCP Server works for all customers, all Application models and all future changes to your Application out-of-the-box. And since we develop the Software Factory and Intelligent Application Manager (IAM) with the Thinkwise Platform as well, we can implement MCP for the Software Factory and the Intelligent Application Manager in a similarly fast fashion as you can for your applications.We have made the MCP Server capabilities of the Thinkwise Platform part of runtime component Indicium, no separate installation is required to get your hands on this new technology. From a functional perspective we rely as much as possible on existing features in the Software Factory and IAM, mainly Roles and Client applications. This is our Technology-as-a-Service promise at its best: as soon as you upgrade to a supported version, MCP can be utilized!MCP will be launched in BETA with Short-Term Support (STS) Platform version 2026.2.12 and become an officially supported and licensed feature with Platform version 2026.3. More details on required setup will be shared in a separate blog. MCP democratizes integrationThe Model Context Protocol is often referred to as the USB-C for applications: one standard connector to power applications with AI capabilities. The OData protocol is a similar standard for REST APIs, but requires technical expertise by the user and is much more rigid to use. MCP places the responsibility and burden of integration at the supplier of the API, instead of the consumer of the API.The key differentiator of generative AI + MCP is that users can use natural language to interact with organizational data in an iterative manner. Essentially, this enables any user to set up an integration with an application and use a language they know to put that integration to work with trial and error. Without generative AI you needed to be capable of using a technical language like OData and without MCP you needed to know exactly how to construct the URL Endpoint and the JSON Body of the call.Now, all that’s needed in an AI tool that supports this (for example Claude Desktop, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Copilot Studio), is Setup MCP Server > Authenticate > Grant permissions and the user is ready to go!MCP as translatorMCP begs to be applied to compelling use cases, but where does it shine? Generative AI and related tooling is not a silver bullet and not a solution to all integration problems, but it does hold the promise of solving problems that couldn’t be solved before!MCP shines at the translation layer between structured and unstructured data: turning unstructured input into structured data, or structured data into something a person can read. A plain-language support request becoming a properly filed ticket. A pile of transaction data becoming a great visual report. An agent processing a messy email into a draft order.Compelling use cases include:Easier & interactive search and summary of data Performing specific actions like booking hours or processing meeting summaries Automating repetitive actions like processing an incoming PDF invoice Informed interaction with an AI agent like a Support agent that helps triage an IT issue AI-driven Development to speed up and improve Software DevelopmentMore elaborate examples of compelling use cases will be shared in a series of follow-up blogs.MCP poses risksBefore going all out on MCP, it’s important to mention the risks that AI imposes. While people tend to refer to generative AI tooling as if it has some sort of personality ("he"), it is wise to be aware of the fact that it’s a trained mathematical model that algorithmically predicts the next best word or action.Importantly, AI at this stage can’t substitute for human judgment or experience. In other words: "AI is as good as its user" and AI doesn’t suffer consequences for being wrong. An extreme example of the potential negative impact is the deletion of the entire Production database of PocketOS.For business-critical applications built with the Thinkwise Platform this means that you shouldn’t want your users or AI agents to connect to an unofficial MCP server and hand out credentials and entire permission sets in the process. Instead, you should treat any MCP-connected user or AI agent as less knowledgeable than your most junior hire initially.While it makes sense for any human being that "write all open hours" refers to booking 8 hours for each past working day, AI might as well decide to book hours for 24 hours for each past or future day available. Or worse, "clear approved invoices" for a finance person might mean paying these invoices, while AI might as well decide to delete the invoices altogether without ever paying them.Enterprise-grade Thinkwise MCPApplications built with the Thinkwise Platform are business-critical, which is why we prioritized providing an enterprise-grade MCP Server solution with granular controls that allows you to mitigate the above-mentioned risks. We utilize Client applications in IAM, authentication via OAuth 2.1 or Personal Access Tokens (PAT), and granular permissions based on IAM applications, users, and roles that explicitly need to Allow access delegation.We recommend applying the Principle of Least Privilege and putting a Human-in-the-Loop for any AI-powered workflow, especially in the beginning stages. More specifically, we recommend creating and granting access to delegated Roles with permissions for Read data or Create data / Execute tasks (that result in data with concept status), but not for Update or Delete of existing data to begin with.The initial implementation of MCP supports a core feature set of the Thinkwise Platform, including CRUD on subjects (variants are not exposed via MCP), Execute (table) tasks, and Data authorization pre-filters.RoadmapMCP will be launched in BETA with STS Platform version 2026.2.12 on the 3rd of August and become an officially supported and licensed feature with Platform version 2026.3.During the MCP BETA you get to experiment with MCP for customer Applications, and we continue to improve the capabilities and efficiency. In parallel, we implement MCP support for the Software Factory with Release 2026.3. This includes an authorization and logging concept (tsf_is_delegated_access) and a granular setup of Roles in the Software Factory.In parallel with our MCP development, many of you have been experimenting with custom MCP servers, AI-assisted development on the Software Factory and the use of Skills. We have already offered a Skill to update your Dynamic code with Release 2026.2 and are now testing to what extent Skills prove to be needed in addition to MCP integration with the Software Factory. We anticipate Skills over MCP will be adopted soon, and intend to use that to distribute Software Factory-related Skills in the future.Using MCP Server in a Production environment will require an amended license agreement with Thinkwise, as Agentic AI via MCP typically automates and replaces human user interaction. MCP Server will be freely available in Develop and Test environments to empower you to experiment with MCP for end users and speed up development in the Software Factory.We look forward to your implementation of compelling MCP use cases!

What I learned:- **-6**: the storage location wasn't linked to the process action yet. Fixed.- **-7**: *Storage attachment path* must be the full absolute path *including* the storage location root (e.g. `https://bucket.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2026/06/file.jpg`) — even though the storage location is already selected on the process action itself. A relative path within the storage location is rejected. Slightly surprising, and not great for maintainability if the storage location ever changes, but okay.- **-8**: this is where I'm stuck. I tried semicolon-separated paths to attach multiple files, the way *Disk file attachments* works. The connector treats the whole string as a single (non-existent) file path. The documentation confirms *Storage attachment path* accepts exactly one path. So my question: **what is the intended way to send a single email with multiple attachments from a file storage location?** Workarounds I'm aware of:1. Zip the files first with the Zip file action and attach the single zip — functional, but the recipient gets a zip instead of the individual documents.2. Per file: Read file (from S3) → Write disk file to a temp location → SMTP connector *without* a storage location, using *Disk file deletable attachments* with a semicolon-separated list. This works but round-trips every file through local disk, which somewhat defeats the purpose of the file storage integration. If there's no direct way, I'd like to turn this into a feature request: support a semicolon-separated list in *Storage attachment path*, consistent with *Disk file attachments*. Bonus points for also accepting paths relative to the selected storage location. Current platform version: 2025.3 Thanks!

Has anyone implemented something similar in their development workflow? Questions & Conversations Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:59:30 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/product-updates/platform-improvements-for-week-29-2026-6905 Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2026.2.11, 2026.2, 2026.120260713 - Improved rights check for Cube view filter node interface view Due to an inefficient Where clause, the Cube view filter node interface view could inspect a larger dataset than needed to ensure the cube fields used within users' custom cube views have the necessary rights. This has been optimized.  SF 2026.2.11, 2026.220260710 - Apply missing cascade delete for query detail references Three query-references were missing ON DELETE CASCADE, causing a deletion of the parent record to be blocked by the existence of a query record. Whilst normally we do want to prevent such deletion, in these cases, the deletion is permitted. Now, you can remove Check constraints, Data sets, and Mock data columns and have the query data removed automatically. 20260714 - Adjust RDBMS data validations The Software Factory offers a set of validations to ensure the _query tables have a value when needed. However, these validations would only return a result for multi-RDBMS models. This has been changed so they also validate single-RDBMS type models. Now, for example, you will be informed if a domain misses a datatype. Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:04:41 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/index-optimizer-6634 When upgrading the platform to 2026.1, we waited for around two hours in total (SF and IAM on DEV) for the TSF optimizer to finish rebuilding the indexes. This was even after old branches/applications were removed in SF and IAM the day before to speed up the upgrade. At one point, we saw the slow_query_log index being rebuilt, where fragmentation was only 0.1%, containing over 5 million records. Our idea is twofold:Parameterize or hardcode the index optimization so that only indexes with a fragmentation percentage above a given threshold are rebuilt. Allow configuration in the Deployer to specify whether indexes need to be optimized. We already have a nightly job that performs this, so we would prefer to let that run outside office hours. Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:45:39 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/news-blogs-21/software-factory-on-universal-improvements-known-issues-6622 The Software Factory has been available on Universal for several weeks. During this period, we have received substantial positive feedback, as well as constructive suggestions for further improvement. In addition, both developers and our internal teams have identified a number of issues. This article provides a structured overview of:Known issues specific to the Software Factory on Universal Ideas and opportunities to further improve the SF on UniversalLatest status update: 20/07/2026 Please note that this overview applies exclusively to the Software Factory running on the Universal UI.More on the Software Factory on the Universal UI: Keep in mindSystem requirements Moving to the Software Factory in Universal UI requires version 2026.1. This release introduces specific system requirements and includes several breaking changes. Read more in the release notes.   Keep your environment up to date To prevent running into issues that have already been fixed, ensure your applications are consistently updated. Always install the latest hotfixes for the Software Factory and IAM. Always use the latest versions of Indicium and the Universal UI, as these regularly include important improvements and bug fixes. Tip!Subscribe to the following sections to stay up to date with the latest changes and updates: Product updates, News & Blogs & Roadmap Known issuesThere is no need for you to raise a ticket when you encounter any of these known issues.  Affects on-premise environments (Indicium on Windows Server):  UrlSegmentMaxLength limits reached in Software Factory Due to the use of natural primary keys, the default UrlSegmentMaxLength (260 characters) can be exceeded in certain scenarios. This may result in errors when opening specific screens, particularly within Process flows → Process actions → Input/Output for subflows. This issue can be prevented: see the release notes​​​​  Keyboard navigation As already communicated in my previous blog, keyboard navigation is not yet on the same level as in the Windows GUI, which may impact users who rely heavily on keyboard-driven workflows. Status: Working on it Newest improvement: component navigation!   Cannot change Thinkwise workspace folder from within Software Factory There is currently no straightforward way to change the Thinkwise workspace folder directly within the Software Factory. ​ Status: On the backlog Workaround (multiple options): Delete the current workspace folder, clear the browser cache (cookies and site data), or remove fs-handle-db from IndexedDB via browser DevTools (F12 → Application → IndexedDB).  Missing “Show Tab Header” option in Screen Design (Detail Tab Page) In the Windows GUI, the Detail Tab Page properties included a Show Tab Header option (true/false). This option is currently not available in the Screen Design tab in Universal. ​ Status: On the backlog Workaround: Add the screen component property showtabheader = False in the Screen Components detail  Difference Analysis not properly converted to Universal UI Only the objects with differences are shown, without insight into the actual content of those differences. The categorized sections (e.g., Changed in both, Changed in branch 1, Changed in branch 2) are no longer separated and are displayed as a single unstructured list, making the analysis ineffective for its intended purpose.  Status: Working on it!  Data Modeler references displayed in wrong direction In the Data Modeler, references are graphically inverted. The arrow currently points from the primary key to the foreign key, but it should point from the foreign key to the primary key. Status: On the backlog  Default 100-record pagination may not suit all Software Factory screens The Software Factory applies the default pagination of 100 records per page in the Universal UI to maintain performance. In certain screens, this may limit visibility when working with larger datasets (e.g., extensive menu structures). We consider to increase the Page size for all Subjects, or for specific Subjects. Status: On the backlog  Not possible to create a self reference in Data Model In the Data Model – Design screen, it is currently not possible to create a self reference (a reference where the table points to itself). Status: On the backlog Workaround: Create the self reference manually, for example via Tables → References (detail).  Fixed known issuesIf you are using the latest version, the known issues listed below should not occur.Working on multiple branches simultaneously in the same browser As also communicated in my previous blog, it is currently not possible to work on multiple branches within the same browser session. Users must rely on separate browsers or incognito tabs. This should be supported within a single browser session. Status: Fixed in 2026.1.13  Duplicate AI Enrichment task group under Tables Under Tables, two AI Enrichment task groups are shown. The first task group is empty and non-functional, while the second contains the actual tasks. Status: Fixed in 2026.1.11!  Code editor updates wrong record when switching rows quickly After saving changes in the external code editor and immediately switching rows in the Software Factory, the patch is applied to the newly selected record instead of the original one. Status: Fixed in 2026.1.11.2!  Task with code editor control gradually expands Tasks that contain a visible Code editor control expand in width when opened. Status: Fixed in 2026.1.12! Remaining issue: the task still expands when it contains two or more code fields.  Switching open document disconnects external code editor session Using the Workspace listener, switching the open document (e.g., from Functionality to Data Model) disconnects the external code editor session. Returning to the template requires reconnecting. Status: Fixed in 2026.2.11!  Ideas Below is an overview of proposed ideas that would further improve the Software Factory on Universal. Please vote on the ideas you consider valuable additions. Do you have another suggestion? Create a new idea here. Looking AheadWe are proud to offer the Software Factory on the Universal UI and remain focused on continuously improving the developer experience. We’ll update the blog with Known issues and Ideas as they come.What has your experience been so far?

In version  2026.1.12.0.0 this cannot be chosen separately.So, my question is whether this is already available or whether it might be added back in the future.

This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount). Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:48:43 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/disable-any-development-in-finalized-branches-6901 When a finished branch gets merged to it's origin (non-reciprocal). It becomes finalized and, depending on selection, archived. Further merging into and from this branch is thereafter no longer possible. Yet, active development is still possible in a finalized branch (even after unarchiving). Wouldn't it make sense to completely lock development in a finalized branch as well? I have experienced a scenario where an unsuspecting developer was actively developing in a finalized branch (without knowing it was a finalized branch) and then find out way too late all of his work is for naught.

Higher efficiency: Keep your most-used favorites at the very top for quick access. Cleaner workspace: Less time spent searching through static lists. It’s a small UX tweak that would make daily navigation in the Software Factory a lot smoother.Let me know what you think!

We are very curious why there is no option to put multiple different values comma separated in the standard GUI filter?This group of around 25 end users just moved from a 20+ years old ERP system to our Thinkwise ERP system but they showed us how they worked in the old system and to be honest, it looks easy to implement in the Thinkwise GUI and we actually are a bit curious why nobody seemed to noticed this ‘gap’ before. Maybe we overlooked something but it seems that it can't be done in the GUI in the current version (2023.1.12.0).Not sure how to call the standard filter in the GUI, but in SF they call this filter a form list. In blue there are the options to choose from, they look like this in our Dutch version of the GUI: We miss ‘IN’ as option in this listWhat we need is the option ‘IN’ and a possibility to fill in the values comma separated. For example if you want to see details from 3 different orders 123, 567 and 999 in the old ERP system we would easily filter like this:Filter 3 different sales orders in the >20 years old ERP systemAs a select query this would result in something like:Select details from sales_orders where sales_order_id in (123,567,999)So nothing really difficult about this, so we hope you can put this very soon as a filter option in the GUI?In our old system the filter can also be built like this (see also the different options like ‘and’ and ‘ or’ on the left side as well):Ways to build a selection filter in the >20 year old ERP systemWe read in some other posts on the community about using AND or OR as a prefilter, so maybe this last picture can be helpful. Nevertheless for us the most important thing is to give our end users the possibility to just fill in multiple values comma separated. Maybe this is already possible, if so, hopefully somebody can explain how and if not, we hope Thinkwise can provide this awesome option very soon. Thank you in advance!

The test works, but filling the form feels quite slow.Example code:const expectedDescription = faker.person.firstName();const purchaseOrderMain = await page.subject.PurchaseOrderMain;await purchaseOrderMain.form1.descriptionField.fill(expectedDescription);await purchaseOrderMain.form1.supplierIDLookup.lookupSelect('Demo supplier');await page.getByTestId('form-field__delivery-date__date__input').fill('01/01/2027');await purchaseOrderMain.form1.heatNoMandatoryCheckbox.check();await purchaseOrderMain.toolbar482460FA.getSaveButton().click();In the latest run, the purchase order was created as Purchase-0019. The form filling and saving part took roughly 35-40 seconds before the next step continued. I also see repeated warnings like:Timeout reached while waiting for response. Proceeding anyway.My question is about the slow interaction while filling the purchase order form.Questions:Is this delay expected when using generated form controls and lookup controls? Is supplierIDLookup.lookupSelect('Demo supplier') known to wait for backend responses or metadata updates? Is there a recommended best practice to make this faster or more stable?

This makes it harder to point colleagues to the exact place in the model when discussing issues or reviewing work.Why this would help:You can share a link that opens the exact process flow, control procedure, task or table you’re talking about, which makes collaboration much smoother. We already pass deep links around in Teams for process flows and error screens, so having this supported in SF would make that consistent.  Reviewers and new team members can jump straight to the right place without navigating through multiple screens. It becomes easier to keep documentation up to date guides and runbooks can simply link to the correct SF item instead of describing long navigation steps. It also helps prevent misunderstandings during development, because everyone opens the exact same object and version instead of possibly looking at different branches or outdated definitions.

However, verifyGridRecordCount() always times out after 10 seconds. I tried different expected values (for example 1, 3, 6, and even the visible total count), but the result is always the same.For hasNoRowsOverlay():When the grid is empty, it correctly returns true. After records are displayed in the grid, I expected it to return false (as described in the documentation), but instead it waits for the overlay locator and eventually times out.Am I using these methods correctly, or are there any prerequisites or limitations for using them?For reference, other generated grid methods on the same subject, such as getRowByIndex() and getCellValuesByColId(), work as expected.Thanks!

However, it is possible that a second user generates the same number in the DEFAULT, since it is simply calculated as max number + 1.Duplicate numbers are not allowed, so in the TRIGGER the number is recalculated to ensure it is unique regardless. This uses the same logic as in the DEFAULT.As a result, when saving, you may receive a different number than what you initially entered. The GUI is then unable to find the inserted row and shows an error message.How can we solve this without using an identity column?There is a risk that, for example when adding a sales order, a user believes they are working on their own order, while in fact they are adding order lines to someone else’s order.

It appears the generated root locator does not exist in the rendered DOM. I'm trying to use the generated grid instead of Playwright locators.According to the documentation, a generated subject should allow interactions like:await subject.grid1.getRowByIndex(0);await subject.grid1.getCellByExactValue('Some value');await subject.grid1.getCellValuesByColId('column_id');However, all generated subjects I tried fail because the generated root locator cannot be found in the DOM.For example, Testwise generates locators like:edata-testid="screen__..."]but those data-testid values do not exist in the rendered page. As a result, methods such as:subject.grid1.getRowByIndex(0)subject.grid1.getCellByExactValue(...)subject.grid1.getCellValuesByColId(...)always fail, even though the grid and its rows are clearly visible and can be accessed with standard Playwright locators.My questions are:How do you determine which generated subject belongs to a specific grid? Is there a way to verify that a generated subject is using the correct root locator? If the generated root locator does not exist in the DOM, is this a model generation issue, or am I missing a recommended approach?I'm trying to understand whether I'm using the generated subjects incorrectly or whether the generated locator is out of sync with the current UI.Thanks!

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:40:06 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/news-blogs-21/guided-wizards-beat-training-manuals-6882 It's the new hire's third day. They open the incident screen for the first time: four tabs, a detail grid, 50 fields, and no clue which ones matter right now. They fill in what they recognize, skip what they don't, and hit save. The record looks fine. It isn't. A required detail is missing, a business rule quietly broke, and three weeks later someone must work out why that incident never triggered an action. As a developer you didn't do anything wrong. You trained your users how to use the application, and most days that holds. But training lives in people's heads, and heads forget, leave, and improvise. So instead of teaching users where to look, bring every field they need straight to them, one step at a time. Most of us already know that pattern by another name: a wizard. This post shows two ways to build a guided, multi-step process in the Software Factory, and how to pick the one that fits. Why guide the user at all?There are lots of reasons to guide your users. We've listed a few that would most impact Thinkwise customers, roughly ordered by impact.   Data integrity (probably the most important one)  A process is rarely one record. It's a parent, a couple of detail rows, maybe a record in another table entirely. Do that freehand and skip a step, and you not only get confused users, you get a broken record that violates your own rules and that someone must hunt down and repair later.    You control the sequence  Because you decide what the user sees and when, you can validate, set defaults, and bring the user to the right next step based on earlier answers. No more dumping every error at the end.     Consistency across users  Without guidance, ten people run the same process ten slightly different ways, and your data shows it. A wizard makes everyone walk the same path, so what lands is uniform.    The process lives in the app, not in someone's head  Often a process survives in your most senior user's memory and in documentation nobody reads. Put it in a wizard and the knowledge stays in the application, where it belongs.    Faster onboarding, less training  New people get productive without a colleague walking them through where everything lives. In enterprise settings that hand-holding is a real, recurring cost. A wizard hands that time back.    Lower cognitive load  Enterprise screens are dense: many fields, tabs, nested grids. That's the norm here, not the exception. A new user staring at all of it doesn't know where to start. One focused step at a time fixes that.  Two ways to build a wizardThe SF gives you two approaches: tasks chained into a process flow, or a modal document with details. You can even mix them, if you're feeling brave.  Guiding with tasksIn the example below we want users to report an incident. Getting this right matters: an incorrect report means the incident is handled wrong, or not at all. So we split it into a handful of tasks, each a pop-up with grouped fields and labels that explain themselves. No onboarding is required. One button, a few steps, done.   What stands out Use layout procedures so each step shows only the fields that are relevant right then. Focus stays where you want it.  Use defaults to guide even further. If the brakes aren't working, set the report to immediate action and push the severity to high automatically.  Make the last step a read-only overview of everything entered. This is the moment the user catches their own mistakes before the report goes in. Highly recommended.   How to build oneUse the steps below to build your wizard using tasks. Create one task per step, each with its own parameters.  Add the step counter to the task's name translation: (step 1/5).  Add an alternative translation to the confirm/cancel button called next/back.  Drop all tasks into a process flow with a process variable for every task parameter.  Map both input and output parameters to those variables. This is what lets the user move back as well as forward.  Optional but recommended: add an overview step at the end. That final task is the one that actually does the insert. The earlier tasks are just collectors, and the process variables carry their values to the final task.  The final step can show every field from the earlier steps, or smarter summaries of them. Keep them all read-only. You want users editing in the earlier steps, where the logic and instructions live.   Guiding with a modal documentThis time we're adding a new employee. That means the person's contact details, plus emergency contacts, a photo, and their employment record.  Complete a step and the modal carries you to the next. The big advantage over tasks: it's more future-proof. Add a new column to the table later and it shows up in the modal on its own, with no task to adjust.    Spotted that the header and footer are gone? That's a setting introduced in 2026.2.11. Disable them in the modal settings of the screen type, and lean entirely on the action bar, where you can add as many tasks as navigation buttons as you like What stands out Here we only used forms, which covers most cases. But these are just normal screen types and subjects, so get as creative as you want: pick a workshop from a map component instead of a dropdown, or preview the document the user just uploaded.  Need multiple rows in one step? A modal handles that natively. With tasks you're stuck reaching for workarounds to get the same result. Smart defaults again: set hours per week to 40 the moment the contract type is fulltime.  After the insert, drop the user on the new record in the grid, so they see exactly what they added and where.   We used standard horizontal tabs in this example, but you can also set the tab page vertically, which lists the steps from top to bottom instead.   How to build oneUse the steps below to build your wizard using a modal document. Create a variant for the main subject and for its details.  Add an alternative translation to each ‘page.’ Incorporate the step number in this translation.  Give those variants a screen type. In our case that's just an action bar for navigation plus a form.  Switch on auto edit and auto save in the variants so the user doesn't do either by hand.  Build tasks and process flows for the navigation. The flow should use "activate detail" to move to the next page, and "add row" so the user can start typing right away.  In the SF, disable show footer, and optionally hide the header.   Making your wizards even betterA wizard that runs and a wizard that helps are different things. The mechanics above get you a flow that works. These (UX) rules decide whether it feels like guidance. Want to learn more? Read this article.  One job per step. The whole point is lower cognitive load, so don't rebuild the dense screen inside the modals. If a step needs a scroll bar, it's probably two steps.  Always show their progress. People will sit through five steps if they can see the end coming. A "step 2 of 5" in the title is enough.  Let them go back and lose nothing. A flow you can only move forward through feels like a trap. Mapping your input and output parameters to process variables (which we did above) is what makes "back" safe.  One catch: this only holds for "next.” If the user hits back (so cancel), the output parameters never get mapped to the process variables, so whatever they typed in that step is gone. Validate as they go, not at the end. The point of splitting the process up is to catch a problem while the user still has the context to fix it. Don't let someone reach the overview step only to learn step one was wrong.   Your turnCreating these wizards, thinking through the user flow, and actually implementing them takes more effort than building a standard screen. But that effort pays off. You can drastically improve the usability of specific flows in your application, especially the important ones for your organization. We're curious what use cases you can think of in your own application. How would a wizard help your users?   News & Blogs Wed, 08 Jul 2026 10:13:54 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/where-can-i-find-the-async-action-dialog-6888 On a Task or Report you can set the “Await result” value to “Optional”.In the docs it is explained like this:Optional - The user has to wait (option 1) but has the possibility to continue the action in the background (option 3).

Questions & Conversations Mon, 06 Jul 2026 12:22:23 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/product-updates/release-notes-thinkwise-platform-2026-2-11-6875 Hi everyone, This release includes important security fixes and meaningful improvements across the platform.A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML editor has been resolved, and Indicium now exposes a security.txt file to support responsible disclosure. Note that SQL Server 2019 is no longer supported as of this release.The deployment process has been updated to streamline source code generation and execution. The Software Factory now writes separate Install and Upgrade folders, and code files are only shown once the deployment type is known.On the authorization side, administrators can now manage error log access for individual users without granting full administrator rights. Furthermore, administrators can delegate API access to client applications using roles, allowing for more granular control over their access.Several UI improvements make modeling more flexible and intuitive. The IN filter operator is now supported as default filter condition for alphanumeric and numeric fields. Tree views now support pagination, Clear cube view has been added to the action bar, and Model insight has been updated with more debug information and improved focus behavior. Startup time has been reduced through on-demand loading of libraries and components, and you can now navigate between screen components using keyboard shortcuts. This is a short-term support (STS) release of the Thinkwise Platform. STS release support expires as soon as a new release is made available. For example, support for version 2026.1.12 ends when version 2026.1.13 is released. See our Lifecycle policy for information about supported versions. ContentsBefore you upgrade Demo and download Breaking Cross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerability End of Support for SQL Server 2019 Regenerate definitions and source code New and changed User Interface - Show or hide header and footer in modal screens User Interface - Updated default action order for action bars User Interface - Removed 'Values' tab from cube view sort settings User Interface - Set 'IN' as default filter operator Business logic - Updated column order in 'Functionality' Deployment - Updated source code generation and execution Authorization - Manage API access for client applications Authorization - Manage error log access for users Added 'security.txt' file for Indicium Updated libraries for office file handling Added pagination for tree views Added 'Clear cube view' to action bar Improved 'Model insight' panel and debug values Configure debounce time for lookups Improved datetime filtering Improved sort order in lookup and domain dropdowns Performance optimization for Universal UI Added keyboard shortcut for component navigation Fixed Software Factory and Intelligent Application Manager Indicium Universal UI Data model changes Changes Software Factory Table changes Column changes Changes Intelligent Application Manager Table changes Column changes  Before you upgradeFeatures for the Software Factory and the Intelligent Application Manager are only compatible with this STS version of the Thinkwise Platform. Indicium and Universal UI features are backwards compatible with previous Thinkwise Platform versions, unless otherwise noted.Demo and downloadTry a demo of the Thinkwise Platform here. Download the latest versions of our components here. BreakingCross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilityCross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilities in the HTML editor have been resolved. When an HTML control field was in edit mode and an attacker could influence the displayed data, a JavaScript payload could execute using the user's credentials.While Indicium's Content Security Policy (CSP) helped mitigate the risk, it is strongly recommended that you configure security headers for additional protection. End of Support for SQL Server 2019Support for SQL Server 2019 has ended. To continue using the Thinkwise Platform, upgrade to SQL Server 2022 or higher.For more information, see End of SQL Server 2019 support. Regenerate definitions and source codeAs a result of changes made to source code generation and execution, it is important to regenerate definitions and source code after upgrading to this version of the Thinkwise Platform. This ensures the deployment continues to work as expected. New and changedUser Interface - Show or hide header and footer in modal screensnew Community idea Software FactoryYou can now control whether to show the header or footer in a modal screen. This is useful if you want to use modal screens for custom dialogs, such as a wizard, where the header and footer are not needed.In menu User interface > Screen types, select a screen type and go to tab Form > group Modal size. Select Show header or Show footer to show the header or footer, or clear the checkboxes to hide them.Check the new blog for inspiration on using Wizards with both Tasks and Modal documents in your Applications!User Interface - Updated default action order for action barschange Software FactoryThe default order of the action buttons in an Action bar has been updated to show task, report, and cube view buttons first, followed by the CRUD buttons.Previously, the CRUD buttons were displayed first, then the task, report, and cube view buttons. This would result in the CRUD buttons being displayed in different positions in each screen.This change does not affect existing models, it only applies to new models or when the action bar is reset. The default order can still be modified in the menu Model overview > Branches > tab General settings > tab Default action bar. User Interface - Removed 'Values' tab from cube view sort settingschange Software FactoryThe sort settings for cube views (menu User Interface > Cubes > tab Cube views > tab Sort) have been updated.Cube views and charts now use the setting Show top x. Use this setting to limit the number of category rows displayed in a cube view or chart.Grand totals and sub-totals are always calculated using the full dataset, regardless of the Show top x setting.Additionally, you can now only select Absolute for the setting Type of show top x, which determines how the top rows are displayed. The Percentage option has been deprecated.Finally, the following changes have been made to the tab Cube views:The Values tab has been removed. The sort settings Show top x and Type of show top x have been moved to the tab Categories / Rows. User Interface - Set 'IN' as default filter operatornew Software FactoryYou can now set the IN filter operator as the default filter condition for Alphanumeric and Numeric fields in the Filter pop-up. Users can use this operator to filter data on multiple values at once. For example, users can now filter an order overview to show only orders with the status Pending, Processing, or Shipped.Default filter operators for all subjects can be set in the menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default settings > group Filter. Filter operators for columns of the subject can be set in the menu User interface > Subjects > tab Data > tab Filter. Business logic - Updated column order in 'Functionality'change Software FactoryThe order of the columns in menu Business logic > Functionality has been updated to improve usability. The column Code group is now displayed in front of the Control procedure column. This makes it easier to see which code group a control procedure belongs to. Deployment - Updated source code generation and executionchange Software FactoryWe have updated source code generation and execution to improve the deployment process.Source code generationPreviously, all code files were written to storage when generating source code, regardless of whether the deployment would be an install or an upgrade. You then had to decide afterwards which files to use. The Software Factory now writes separate Install and Upgrade folders. Each folder contains only the code files relevant to that deployment type.As part of this change, the file specifications of all code files in the Thinkwise base models have been updated. The path has been simplified from Source_code\Groups\.sql to  Mon, 06 Jul 2026 12:11:06 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/smoke-test-time-adjustment-6877 When running the smoke test, I notice that durations above 10,000 ms end with: 'The command did not complete - the command timed out'.This is always an encouragement to critically review your code, but is there perhaps a way to adjust this time? Kind regards Questions & Conversations Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:27:00 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/download-icons-in-software-factory-6876 When I use the download Icon task in TSF, the file is not saved in the Downloads folderWhat am I doing wrong?

The second step is another 'Start table task’. This task has several parameters (read-only, set by default proc), and yes/no buttons. This works fine in Win gui, but in Uni this flow stops in endless loop, since this table task parms/button doesn't popup. Is this expected behavior? We have quite a lot PF with table tasks in the middle of the flow.. and now moving to uni gui it's causing problems. Let me knowThanks, Blommetje  Second table task - in win gui - with parms/buttons. The process flow causing a lot of trouble.I could show a screenshot of an endless spinner in UNI gui, but I don't it will add any value.    Questions & Conversations Fri, 03 Jul 2026 16:15:20 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/large-process-flow-becomes-unstable-during-fast-user-interaction-6879 Hello,We are experiencing an issue with the following process flow, see attachment. As you can see, it is a very large process flow, but in general it does return the correct results and performs the expected actions.However, when I quickly click through the process, open and close the task, etc., basically when I interact with it a bit faster, it starts to behave unexpectedly. For example, an intermediate screen sometimes no longer opens. In addition, cancelling also takes quite a long time, around 10 seconds.Could this behavior be caused by the process flow being too large, for example because the flow has not fully completed yet before a new start is triggered? Or is there likely something else going on?Our preference would be not to split up the process flow, as this would require a lot of work and would also introduce additional risks. Therefore, we would first like to understand whether there is another way to make this process more stable.

I wanted to make my own version for domain elements only, but since I cannot edit the generated control procedure, I made a copy instead and edited that.I set the installed control procedure to inactive… but it is still being executed in the “Generate source code” step? And I can’t delete the subroutine either… There is no “uninstall solution” button...What now? Must I perform queries on the SF database to delete them?Am I forever bound to the generated procedures?Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Questions & Conversations Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:14:38 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/publicly-accessible-portal-without-user-login-6809 Currently, we send PDF forms to our customers. They fill them out manually and return them via email, after which we process the data. We want to modernize and digitalize this process using Thinkwise.Our goal is to set up a portal/webpage where customers can enter their data directly, ensuring it is immediately stored in our database. Since we are dealing with a broad, shifting customer base, we want the URL to be publicly accessible. Customers should be able to open and use the page without logging in with a username and password (no login prompt from the Universal GUI).Is it possible? And what are the best practices within IAM of Indicium? Because I think that you will create a sort of pool-user for that, which has some limited rights.  Questions & Conversations Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:27:22 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/read-folder-location-and-move-it-to-another-folder-location-6729 I want to retrieve a file from a folder using a Thinkwise application and move it to another folder so an external organization can collect it.My starting point is a folder containing multiple files. I am using the List Folder process action to search through them. I intend to use the returned JSON to extract the filename, read the file, and eventually move it.The 'Read File -> Write File -> Move File' sequence worked correctly when I wasn't using process variables. However, after adding the List Folder action, I am not receiving any data back.In my process flow, the List Folder action has a storage location assigned but no input parameters. The output parameters are set to status_code and json_outputWhat is the solution to get this working? This is the flow I am currently testing.  Questions & Conversations Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:26:18 +0200
