Attached to the order lines are suppliers. The report loop groups the order lines per supplier to generate 1 report per supplier. This all goes well, but the report that is shown as a pop-up at the end is empty (because the loop ran out of suppliers and stopped). this empty report is the only generated report that is shown. how can I prevent this empty report to be shown?   Questions & Conversations Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:37:35 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/faking-a-system-language-in-a-unit-test-6749 Hello everyone, We have a unit test where we want to check if the right value (either Dutch or English) is returned from the tsf_translate function.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:32:23 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/news-blogs-21/guided-workflows-in-the-software-factory-6704 Imagine the Software Factory like an actual factory: a big building filled with workbenches scattered across the entire room. Everything you need to build robust applications is available. But where do you start? You’ll have to figure that out yourself, meaning that (especially as a starting developer) you may sometimes find yourself moving around the factory, trying to locate the workbench you need.So how can we guide users through all these workbenches more effectively? It starts by looking at the Software Factory not only from a technical perspective, but through the eyes of the user. Understanding where people get stuck, what they are trying to accomplish, and how the platform can better support them along the way.In practice, this comes down to a few principles:Automate repetitive tasks where possible Guide users to the right functionality instead of relying on manual discovery Reduce the number of decisions users need to make Encourage best practices by default There are different ways to add this kind of guidance. The best option is always to simplify the process itself. But for more complex workflows, like those in the Software Factory, that’s not always enough. That’s where step-by-step guidance (often called “wizards”) can help. These guide users through a process with a clear goal, making it easier to complete tasks and reducing the chance of mistakes. Funfact: the term “wizard” originally referred to expert users who helped others with complex tasks like installing software. Today, that expertise is built into the software itself. Designing these wizards means breaking down complex actions into smaller, guided steps and automating what can be automated. Below are a few examples of how we are applying these ideas in the Software Factory.These are a proof of concept and not production-ready yet, so things may change. Your feedback is more than welcome.  Create modelWhen creating your first model, you usually start with an empty application. The Thinkstore offers several solutions to start with a model that already includes features and enhancements we recommend using. This wizard guides you through that process, instead of having to search through the menu to find the Thinkstore (which many new users might not even be aware exists). Create data modelCreating a data model is a critical step when building a new application. It also tends to be one of the more complex parts. A well-structured data model will support your application in the long run, so getting it right from the start is important.Currently, creating a data model involves multiple steps across different screens: defining tables and columns in one place, then using them elsewhere to design the model. This can be simplified by bringing everything together into a more visual workflow.Although I wouldn’t call them wizards, they are great examples of how we can guide users and automate common steps. Create taskCreating tasks with assigned template codes are a good example of how the Software Factory can feel technical rather than user-focused.When creating a template task, your goal is usually straightforward: you want to add logic that runs when the task is executed. The ‘create task’ wizard is designed to guide you through this process step by step and automating a lot of steps in the background. Going furtherThese examples show how we can add more guidance to the Software Factory, either by improving existing flows (like the data modeler) or by guiding users step by step through more complex processes (like creating a task with logic).We believe there is a lot of opportunities here to further reduce manual work and make building applications more efficient and more user-friendly.Which actions in the Software Factory would you like to see automated or supported with more guidance (possibly using AI)?

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:31:59 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/news-blogs-21/enrich-your-labels-with-parameterized-translations-6737 A new team member joins your organization. You open their employee record and see a collapsible section labeled Contract. To check their working hours, you expand the section, scroll through the details, find the right fields, and read the values. Now imagine that same section label simply reads Contract – hours: 40.00. No expanding, no scrolling.That is what parameterized translations do. They let you embed data values directly into labels, section headers, and task parameters. The result: a more information-dense interface that gives your users the context they need at a glance.It looks like a small feature. It is not. The ability to surface the right data in the right place, without adding extra columns or expression fields, changes how users interact with your application. In this post, we walk through six practical scenarios to show you what is possible.How it worksThe configuration is surprisingly simple. In a translation field, you reference another column from the same subject by wrapping the column name in curly braces. For example: Contract – hours: {working_hours}. At runtime, the platform replaces the reference with the actual value from the current record. That is all there is to it.Parameterized translations work in form labels, form list labels, group and section labels, and task and report parameter labels. A nice detail: they also respect your localization settings, so dates and numbers are always displayed according to the user’s configured format.For columns only add the parameter to the form translation. If you also add the parameter to the grid translation it will display the parameter name in curly braces, not the parameter value. Practical use casesShow employee working hours at a glanceHR teams and managers check employee records all the time to verify contract details. Instead of expanding a collapsible form section every single time, parameterized translations let you display the contracted hours directly in the section header. The section label Contract – hours: {weekly_hours} shows the value right away. Need the full breakdown of specific days and daily hours? Just expand the section.Configuring the parameterized section labelThe section header shows 'Contract - hours: 40.00' without expandingDisplay currency symbols alongside amountsIf your organization operates internationally, you might deal with invoices in multiple currencies. A common headache: users see an amount but have to look elsewhere to figure out whether it is in euros, dollars, or pounds. With parameterized translations, you can include the currency symbol directly in the column label. Set the form translation to Hourly rate ({currency}) and the label dynamically shows Hourly rate (€), Hourly rate ($), or Hourly rate (£) depending on the customer. No separate currency column needed.Translation configuration with the {currency} parameterLabels dynamically reflect the currency per recordShow preferred delivery days when selecting a dateWhen your logistics team schedules a delivery, they need to know which days the customer prefers to receive goods. Before, this required a lookup or an expression field next to the date picker. With a parameterized translation on the delivery date column, such as Delivery date – preference: {customer_preference_days}, the preferred days appear right in the field label. The user sees Delivery date – preference: Wednesday, Thursday while picking the date. This makes the form richer and more data-dense, without any additional fields on the screen.The form translation includes {customer_preference_days}Preferred delivery days are visible while selecting a dateDisplay shipping status in a section headerOrder management screens often contain a shipping section packed with tracking details. By adding the shipping status to the section header, your users get an instant overview without any extra clicks. The translation Shipping – status: {shipping_status} shows the current state directly. Need more detail? Just expand the section. It keeps the interface clean and focused.Parameterized translation for the shipping sectionThe section header reads 'Shipping - status: ready for transport'Combine multiple parameters in a single translationYou are not limited to a single parameter. You can combine multiple parameters in one translation. For example, Shipping – status: {shipping_status} – delivery date: {delivery_date} combines two pieces of information in one section header. This works well when the referenced columns are always populated.Good to know: localization is fully respected here too. Dates and numbers within parameterized translations are formatted according to the user’s locale settings, so everything looks right regardless of where your users are based. Using expression fields to prevent unwanted whitespace / text in your translationsWhen some of the parameters are empty, you might get unwanted whitespace or text. When a parameter is empty it will not be displayed. But if you have a whitespace before and after your parameter in the translation, and it is empty, you get two spaces when you probably only want one.A good approach to prevent this is to use an expression field that handles null values with an isnull check, and use that expression field as a parameter in your translation instead.This expressions field will then only show the parameter and associated whitespace / text when it has a value. The performance cost of a concat or isnull operation on columns from the same row is negligible, so this is a perfectly valid approach. Both status and delivery date appear in the section headerAdd context to task parametersParameterized translations also work in task parameter labels, which opens up some great possibilities. One of the most useful: showing totals from underlying detail records directly in the task pop-up. Consider an invoice approval task. The parameter label Approve {associated_hours} associated hours tells the user exactly how many hours are attached to the invoice they are about to approve. Instead of a generic Approve button, users see Approve 21 associated hours. That kind of context makes the action more transparent and helps prevent mistakes.Task parameter translation with {associated_hours} Getting startedParameterized translations are available on all supported platform versions (starting from 2024.3) when running Universal UI and Indicium 2026.1.13 or higher.Give it a try: pick a form in your application where users currently expand sections or navigate to other fields for context. Add a parameter to the translation. It takes less than ten minutes, and the improvement is immediately visible.

(neither with a default subject or variant) I have a case where this leads to row duplication and consequently non-unique PKs. Was this behaviour intended/foreseen? To solve my problem I would have to make a view instead of use a prefilter, but it would have been nice if a prefilter sufficed.

If we zoom in on a maps component in our application in Universal, we keep getting html requests for tiles, and hence see tiles in the screen, up to zoom level 18. However when zooming in further, the entire maps component becomes gray and according to DevTools no requests are being made for tiles anymore: When we modify the max zoom level of the maps component to 18 and deploy the change, this seems to have no effect at all. The exact same behavior as described above takes place.We expected that trying to zoom beyond level 18 would not trigger anything and the screen would remain on level 18, since it is the configured max zoom level. Also we expected that when having max zoom level = 22, we could zoom beyond level 18 and tiles would keep being requested. Does anyone have an idea about what goes wrong here?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:47:39 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/time-duration-control-for-time-data-type-no-am-pm-6722 We have a table with a column with data type TIME. The intention is that users fill in how many hours:minutes a certain activity was performed on that day, so a duration, not a point in time. We are using the control type "time short".This has so far never been a problem, on Windows and on Universal for users with Dutch system settings. However, now we have international users where the control shows a choice between AM/PM. This is obviously very confusing for them.Time short control without AM/PMTime short control with AM/PMI don’t think there is a way to set this specific control to be the same for all users regardless of system settings. And it would be a lot of work to rework data type to custom hours and minutes columns.My idea is to add another control for the TIME data type which represents a time duration, i.e. does not show AM /PM.On another note, the timeshort control version without AM/PM behaves as a somewhat annoying text field (Universal  GUI version  2026.1.12.0.0). I think the AM/PM version is more user friendly. If the same hour and minute selection would be used that would be nice.  Fri, 10 Apr 2026 08:52:37 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/amount-of-time-control-type-2451 We would like a new control type that allows users to easily select an amount of time (hours and minutes) and store this data in our database. This could be a decimal format where 65,75 is displayed in the UI as 65:45. The currently available control type TIME is used to store the time of day. It cannot be used to select or display an amount of hours and minutes exceeding 23:59:59.

To support this workflow, the SuppressBarcodeKeyboard setting is enabled (Yes), which hides the on-screen keyboard.However, this has a side effect: users are unable to manually enter codes using the keyboard. This becomes problematic when barcodes are either inaccessible to the scanner or damaged.To address this, we would like to add an action button within the barcode control that allows users to activate the keyboard when needed.Something like this:We hope this is possible.Alternatively, is there another workaround you would recommend?   Fri, 10 Apr 2026 08:50:03 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/why-does-expended-properties-in-the-sf-remove-the-dot-it-needs-to-define-session-variables-6721 As the question states: when I try to register a session variable, it removes the dot needed.

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.

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 parameter as “Column”; Lookup popups give no information, it still show the column/parameter of what it is a lookup on; No Translations.

When a developer needs to work on or reference multiple models, they have to manually switch models. Switching models automatically closes all currently open tabs and windows within the SF, and I think that is logically but It is impossible to keep two different models open in separate browser tabs or windows to compare configurations. And yes, I know this is possible with another browser or an incognito, but I think there is a more convenient way.So it would be helpfull if it it possible to allowing developers to open multiple models or branches simultaneously in different browser tabs.

I thought the custom_display_format extenders would be the solution but I found some shortcomings that make them less useable in practice. I discussed this with Thinkwise people: The current behaviour is as intended but they think the following would be a good improvement.Simple example for a currency datatype NUMERIC(18,3) where users normally want to see only 2 decimals but the extra decimal is needed for calculation accuracy. By using an extender with "€ 0.00" format for the domain you get the following behaviourPositive:Display with 2 decimals is correct and third decimal is used for rounding up/down correctly An entered number with 3 decimals is correctly stored in the underlying tableNegative:When EDITING data there is no way to see the third stored decimal When EDITING it is not possible to edit the existing number; you have to clear the field and reenter the complete numberThe behaviour is the same in grid and form screens. We would expect behaviour like e.g. Excel:Display data using the Extender. They are called custom_display_format for a reason I think. Possibility to edit the exact stored dataWithout this behaviour the introduction of the extender seems of little use; the same could be achieved using an expressions field. But a task would be required to edit data and this is what we want to prevent.An extra improvement would be if the scope of the extender could be specified on a lower level than a domain. Then you would get the possibility to present and edit the same table field in multiple ways; the exact data for the finance department and in another screen rounded numbers for sales but still the possibility to edit the exact number.

You can now find all updates of the Thinkwise Platform, Indicium, and the Universal UI in one release blog. This supports our full-stack approach and provides a better overview of the changes in each release. Hello everyone,This update includes several quality-of-life improvements for the Software Factory and the Universal UI.You can now have multiple tabs with different models and branches in the Software Factory, making it easier to work on multiple projects at the same time.Additionally, you can now add parameters to translation labels in the Universal UI, enabling dynamic and informative labels that adapt to the displayed data.We have also improved the behavior of copying unit tests and role management for process flows with subflows, as well as several layout and contrast improvements to the Universal UI.Debugging is now easier with support for parameter values in the Debug Center.We have also updated the file upload API in Indicium to allow for more efficient file uploads.Finally, users can now view cube view filters in the Filter pop-up and import CSV data from the clipboard into grids in the Universal UI. 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. Thinkwise Platform version 2026.1.13ContentsThinkwise Platform version 2026.1.13 Before you upgrade Demo and download Breaking Filter cube views with the 'Filter' pop-up New and changed Models - Active model and branch are now bound to browser tabs Models - Added 'Reset merge conflicts' task Quality - Improved behavior when copying unit tests Access Control - Improved role management for process flows with subflows Parameter values now displayed in Debug Center New session variable for browser tabs Updated file upload API in Indicium Add parameters to translation labels Import CSV data from clipboard into grids Added support for 'Column width' user preference 'Refresh model' moved next to profile menu Only reachable details shown in 'Detail settings' user preference 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 Questions or suggestions?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.BreakingFilter cube views with the 'Filter' pop-upbreaking Universal UInew 2026.1+You can set up filters for cube views in the menu User Interface > Cubes > tab Cube views > tab Filter in the Software Factory. These filters would be applied in the Universal UI but were not available to users.Cube view filters are now available in the Filter pop-up in the Universal UI for the corresponding cube view. This allows users to view, modify or combine them with other filters in the Universal UI.If a user selects a different cube view, the filters are replaced by the filters of the newly selected cube view. Modified filters are carried over to the new cube view if they are still valid for that cube view.Applied filters will now be saved as part of a new cube view by selecting *Save as cube view* from the overflow menu. To save their own cube views, in IAM, the user preferences configuration must be set to Complete. For finer control, you can select Custom cube views in the menu Authorization > Users > tab Form > group User preferences > group Cube settings to allow users to save cube views without giving them access to all user preferences.This feature is supported for Thinkwise Platform 2026.1 and higher. Support for older platform versions will be added later.Breaking: When a subject contains a cube definition, the filters from the first active cube view will be applied to the subject’s data, regardless of which components are available in the screen type.New and changedModels - Active model and branch are now bound to browser tabschange Software Factory 2026.1.13+Previously, in the Software Factory, the chosen model and branch would depend on the authentication session. If you opened multiple tabs in the same browser (or multiple PWA instances), they would load the same model and branch. This resulted in unexpected behavior, since switching branch would not close all documents in other tabs.We have improved this behavior, so the active model and branch is now bound to the current browser tab. Opening a new tab prompts you to select a model and branch. Additionally, switching branch no longer affects other tabs.This update is part of our efforts to improve support for multiple tabs in the Universal UI and the Software Factory. Since sessions are now bound to browser tabs, you can use this to your advantage for your applications as well. For example, you can bind the chosen administration, company, business unit, workspace or search result for a user to a browser tab using the tsf_client_instance_id session variable. This allows users to work with different contexts in different tabs. See also New session variable for browser tabs.This feature is supported for Thinkwise Platform 2026.1.13 and higher. Models - Added 'Reset merge conflicts' tasknew Software FactoryPreviously, it was not possible to reset a merge conflict after resolving it in the Software Factory. If you wanted to change how a conflict was resolved, you had to manually undo the changes made to resolve the conflict.To improve this process, we have added the task Reset merge conflict in the menu Models > Merging > tab Active conflicts.The task 'Reset merge conflict' allows you to resolve a merge conflict again Quality - Improved behavior when copying unit testsCommunity idea change Software FactoryUnit tests help you test each unit of functionality of an application separately. In the Software Factory, you can link unit tests to control procedures to ensure that they work as expected. Previously, when you copied a unit test in the menu Quality > Unit tests > task Copy unit test, the field Control procedure remained empty even if it was linked to a control procedure. This behavior has been improved. If you now copy a unit test with a linked control procedure, the Control procedure field is automatically completed.The field 'Control procedure' is now automatically completed when copying a unit test with a linked control procedure Access Control - Improved role management for process flows with subflowsnew Software FactoryIn the Thinkwise Platform 2026.1 release, we introduced the ability to add user and system subflows to process flows. To execute these subflows, rights must be assigned to the roles that access these process flows.To simplify role permission management for process flows, we have added the column Subflow to the tab Process actions in Roles screen (menu Access control > Roles > tab Process flows > tab Process actions).This allows you to see if a subflow is linked a process action. Additionally, if you execute the task Assign rights  to assign rights for a process flow, rights for subflows in that process flow are now automatically granted.A process flow is unavailable to a role if any of the individual process actions of that process flow is missing rights.The column 'Subflow' allows you to see if a subflow is linked to a process action Parameter values now displayed in Debug Centernew IndiciumWe have added support for parameter values in the Debug Center for DB2, Oracle and PostgreSQL databases. This allows you to track the values of parameters used in, for example, default, layout, and handler procedures, which can be helpful for debugging and troubleshooting. This was already supported for SQL Server databases. New session variable for browser tabsnew Indicium Universal UIIndicium now adds a session variable, tsf_client_instance_id, to the connection. This allows you to distinguish between different browser tabs, which can be useful for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.In the background, the Universal UI now sends a unique identifier, called Client-Instance-Id, in the header of each network request. This identifier is used to instantiate the session variable tsf_client_instance_idA new Client-Instance-Id is created in the following situations:Refresh of the browser tab Opening a new tab and copying the URL Right clicking on the browser tab and selecting the Duplicate tab (this name might differ per browser)An exception to this is floating documents. A floating document can, for example, be opened by pressing Alt and then clicking on a menu item. This floating document uses the same Client-Instance-Id as its parent tab, and refreshing the floating document also persists this Client-Instance-Id. If you refresh the main tab, a new Client-Instance-Id is created for the main tab, but the floating document will keep using the old Client-Instance-Id.As part of this update, we also fixed an issue where Indicium would not always set session variables correctly on DevExpress reports. This could cause the tsf_appl_id to be incorrect. Updated file upload API in Indiciumchange Indicium Universal UIYou can now also use multipart/form-data for file uploads in Indicium, allowing you to upload files in a more efficient way. Previously, only application/octet-stream was accepted for file uploads in Indicium. As of this release, the Universal UI uses this file upload method by default.Previously, when using an Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) in prevention mode, request bodies from file uploads with an application/octet-stream header were limited to 128KB. A workaround was to relax this limit, but then the request body would not be inspected anymore. Because of this change, multipart/form-data can now be used to upload files without this limitation.This update reduces the number of requests when uploading files, resulting in a small performance improvement. Additionally, it allows you to upload larger files when using a WAF in prevention mode, while keeping request inspection enabled. Add parameters to translation labelsnew Universal UIYou can now add parameters to translation labels in the Universal UI. This allows you to design forms with more dynamic, informative labels that adapt to the data displayed.This feature is supported for translation labels in forms, including groups and sections, formlists, and parameters in task and report pop-ups.For example, when currency_type = (EUR) and amount = 50 in that row, the translation label Amount {currency_type} {amount} resolves to Amount (EUR) 50 in that row. If you add another region, such as the UK, and set currency_type to (GBP), the translation label resolves to Amount (GBP) 50 in that new row.To add parameters to a translation label, go to the menu User interface > Translations > tab Translations or any Translation tab in the Software Factory.For form and formlist labels, add the translation to the field Translation form. For task and report parameter labels, add the translation to the field Translation form. For group and section labels in forms, and task and report pop-ups, add the translation to the field Translation.In the field, you can enter the translation and a parameter, for example, Amount {currency_type} {amount}.The following applies to parameters in translation labels:Recursive parameters are not supported, and parameters are resolved only once. For example, Some {text_field} will result in Some {other_field} if text_field = {other_field}. In this case, other_field will not get resolved any further. If a parameter resolves to either undefined or null, it is omitted from the label while other parameters remain. For example, Amount {currency_type} {suggestion} resolves to Amount (EUR) if currency_type = (EUR) and suggestion = null. Import CSV data from clipboard into gridsnew Universal UIYou can now import CSV data directly from the clipboard into a grid. This simplifies the process of importing data from external sources, such as Excel.To import data from the clipboard, select Import from the overflow menu. In the pop-up, select Use Clipboard as data source as Upload method. Then, paste the data into the field Clipboard. Configure the Date format and Number format to match the data's format. After this, continue the import steps as usual.Import CSV data from the clipboard into a grid Added support for 'Column width' user preferencechange Universal UI Intelligent Application Manager main administratorIf users resize columns in a grid, these column width settings were previously saved to that specific device and browser. However, if a user used a different device or browser, these settings would not be migrated and had to be reconfigured by the user.To improve user experience, the column width settings are now saved in IAM as part of User preferences.To allow column width settings to be saved for a user, Column width must be included in a user preference configuration. Use one of the standard configurations Resize, Move, On_Off or Complete. Alternatively, create a custom configuration in the menu Advanced > Master data > User preference availibility and select the checkbox Column width in the group Grid settings availability.After setting up the configuration, assign it to a user or user group to allow users to save their column width settings.Allow users to save their 'Column width' settings across devices and browsers in the Universal UI 'Refresh model' moved next to profile menuchange Universal UI Community ideaIn Developer mode the task Refresh model is now available next to the profile menu. This makes it easier for you to find and use this task when working in the Universal UI. You can now also use the shortcut Alt + R (Windows) or Option + R (MacOS) to refresh the model.Refresh model is now also automatically applied when using the Launch application task from the Software Factory. This is done by adding refreshModel=true to the URL. You can also apply this in custom solutions to automatically refresh the model when the Universal UI is loaded. For example https://myuniversalui.com/universal/?refreshModel=true or as part of the process flow action Open link in a process flow with the URL containing refreshModel=true.Select 'Refresh model' or use the shortcut to refresh the modelOnly reachable details shown in 'Detail settings' user preferencechange Universal UIDetails that cannot be accessed due to the current screen type configuration or active context are no longer shown in the overflow menu > Detail settings user preference.Previously, all subject details were listed regardless of whether they were visible on the active screen. This could cause confusion when details appeared in the menu but were not available in the user interface.With this update, only details that are actually reachable in the current screen type and context are displayed. Details assigned to other screen areas or hidden by context conditions are excluded from the menu, resulting in a clearer and more accurate configuration experience. FixedRefer to previous Community posts for additional releases provided during the sprint. These additional releases (for example, Universal UI 2026.1.13.1) are automatically included in this release.Software Factory and Intelligent Application ManagerPreviously, when you created a new Expression column, it would be set to Editable. Now, the column is set to Read-only by default. When you modified the sequence number of a domain element, the absolute sequence number would be incorrect. This has been fixed. Previously, when deploying functionality in the menu Business Logic > Functionality > tab Deploy the database server name of the linked runtime configuration was displayed instead of the actual server name, which could make it unclear which server was used. This has been fixed.IndiciumIf you would use the Search feature on a detail or look-up subject, Indicium previously included context reference columns. Because the values of these context reference columns are identical for all records in the context, this would cause all records to match when a context reference column satisfied the search term. Indicium now excludes context reference columns from the search for detail and lookup subjects. System flows that are started from user subflows via the Execute system subflow process action are now available in the Process Flow Monitor in the Debug Center. DB2 Due to the application connector not creating a message buffer for DB2 databases, issues could occur with smoke tests and other processes. This has been fixed. Fixed an issue with the JSON format of the chat history of the LLM Chat Completion connector. Fixed an issue in SQL Server where TIME values could not be converted from XML when the XML was generated by an XMLMultiselect task parameter. Fixed an issue with the links to the Debug Center which are shown in error messages in the Universal UI. The links were malformed due to an extra web application segment (for example: /indicium/indicium). Fixed an issue where files could not be downloaded in a task popup if the file came from a column via a table column -> task parameter link.Universal UIPreviously, when using a browser’s autofill in a Form, the auto-filled text would get a blue highlight. Users could confuse this highlight with conditional layouts already present on the screen. This has been fixed. Fixed an issue where the action bar would not appear if part of it was empty during the first render (for example due to a context procedure). In some cases, selecting an item from a lookup dropdown in a Filter form would return a previously selected record instead of the selected option. The selected option is now always returned. In cases where a pivot grid had many nested categories that were set to Expand by default, many requests were fired when the pivot grid was rendered. This would place a significant load on the server, causing performance issues. We have reduced the number of requests to fix this issue and improve performance. Custom components now update according to whether a related document is being edited. The pivot grid now updates if records are changed or deleted within the same subject in a different tab. Conditional layouts in cubes were applied incorrectly if the condition field was set to Hidden. The condition would be evaluated using the aggregated row value (for example, SUM, AVG, MAX) instead of the individual cell values. This issue has been fixed, and conditional layouts are now applied correctly. Fixed an issue where start objects were not displayed in the same order they were added after refreshing the page.Data model changesData model changes for the Software Factory and IAM meta-models are listed here.

To help you plan and execute a successful cloud transition, we have published comprehensive transition to the cloud documentation on our docs.Even if you have no active plans to move your application, we do recommend to replace unsupported features, thereby increasing the portability of your Thinkwise applications. More than a hosting changeTransitioning to the cloud is not just about moving servers. It is a strategic decision that unlocks real business advantages.Scalability and cost efficiency. Cloud infrastructure can scale with demand. Your infrastructure capacity grows during peak usage and shrinks when things quiet down, with costs matching actual consumption. No more purchasing, maintaining, or replacing physical servers.High availability. Replication across multiple data centers keeps your application running even when one location fails. Automated backups and disaster recovery give you point-in-time restore capabilities that are difficult to implement on your own hardware.Portability. A cloud-ready application runs on the Thinkwise Cloud, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or other data center/cloud provider. You are not locked into a single provider as your application is now easily portable. This freedom lets you adapt your infrastructure strategy as business needs evolve, without fundamental architectural changes.Control over governance and data sovereignty. Cloud environments give you fine-grained control over where your data lives, who can access it, and how it is secured. Combined with SSO, conditional access policies, and isolated tenant environments, you maintain full oversight of your data governance requirements.Reduced dependency on maintenance parties. By standardizing on cloud-native services and the Thinkwise platform’s built-in capabilities, you reduce reliance on external infrastructure specialists. Platform updates, security patches, and monitoring become part of a managed, automated process rather than a manual exercise. A better integrated platformThe transition to the cloud also coincides with a broader trend in the Thinkwise platform: features that previously required extenders or external tools are now part of the standard platform. The cloud transition documentation guides you through replacing legacy constructs like database mail, SQL Server jobs, and CLR assemblies with their platform-native alternatives. The result is a cleaner, more portable application that runs consistently across environments. What the documentation coversThe cloud transition documentation is structured around eight clear steps, starting from zero:0. Transition to the Universal UI (prerequisite)1. Prepare your application for the cloud2. Set up your cloud environment3. Set up file storage replication4. Migrate to the cloud environment5. Perform integration and acceptance testing6. The final deployment7. Explore cloud capabilities The documentation covers everything from replacing unsupported SQL Server features to preparing authentication with SSO and setting up file storage replication well before go-live.Ready to get started? Read the full Transition to the cloud documentation.Start with the Universal UIBefore you can transition to the cloud, your application must run on the Universal UI with its 3-tier architecture. If you have not made this transition yet, follow the seven-step Universal UI transition guide first. Cloud-agnostic by designThis documentation applies to any cloud platform. Whether you choose Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or the Thinkwise Cloud, the preparation steps remain the same. The Thinkwise Cloud simplifies things further since we manage the infrastructure and deployments for you, but the application-level preparation is identical regardless of where you deploy. Get in touchWe built this documentation to give you everything you need. That said, every application is different. If you find information missing, scenarios not covered, or something that could be clearer, please comment on this topic. Your feedback improves the documentation for everyone. News & Blogs Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:24:11 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/make-expression-field-editable-in-sf-1214 I have a view with 3 fields that can be automatically filled (default proc) when selecting one value from a view having all three values concatenated.This makes finding things a lot easier for the user. The field is only defined in the view and nothing is stored in the database…. A similar situation now exists in a table. There is currently no need for a view instead of this table, so an expression field could be the solution here. Expression fields in the SF however are by definition read-only.  So why not have the developer deside whether an expression field is read-only or not; most of us are wise enough to know what we're doing. To show what I mean, see link below… I made an expression field editable using SQL on the SF database, and you;ll see what I want to achieve. Works fine according to me. https://mcmurdock.stackstorage.com/s/4pGhtJXw03Y9EH8     Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:53:26 +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.

Now I have a subject in which I want to use a relationship, but sometimes I would like to add a relationship that is linked to an object and sometimes I want to add a relationship that is linked to a contract. I thought I might use a variant that uses a lookup for relationship for objects in one instant and a lookup for relationships for contracts in the other instant. However the lookup of a variant cannot change and is always the same as was specified in the default. I would like to be able to assign a different lookup table to a variant.

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:21:07 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/allow-deeplinking-to-specific-record-6614 We’d like to have deep linking available directly in the Software Factory (and ideally IAM).In end‑user applications you can already deep link to a specific record via a process flow, but this isn’t possible in SF itself. 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. Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:15:44 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/universal-go-as-you-type-in-the-grid-6697 I would like to be able to go to a row in the grid based on what I’m typing and the value of the selected column in the grid. (quick search?)The reason for this would be to save users the action of having to go to the search bar (which currently still requires the mouse, we would liek it to be keyboard only) and having to wait for the results to be retrieved again, even though the relevant data was already retrieved, it just wasn’t selected.This was a feature in the Windows GUI and it would be great to have this again in Universal, perhaps with some highlighting of the typed characters in the resultMy use case for this is order entry, when selecting order lines from a list of relevant products Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:12:00 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/bring-back-quicksearch-6671 In previous iterations of the Thinkwise GUI you could perform an action called quicksearch. How it worked:Bring focus to a specific column (in the grid) Type what you want to search  First match of your search gets selected/highlighted. Can we please have this back?Why Quicksearch is valuable (and missed)1. Strong productivity gain for keyboard usersQuicksearch enabled fast, uninterrupted workflows:No mouse interaction requiredNo modal dialogs or filter configurationImmediate feedback while typingFor users who work with data grids all day, this shaved seconds off every lookup — which adds up quickly.2. Ideal for exploratory and ad‑hoc searchingQuicksearch was perfect when:You don’t know the exact valueYou just want to jump to something that looks rightYou don’t want to define a full filter for a one‑off checkCurrent alternatives (filters, column search fields) feel heavier for this use case.3. Lower cognitive load than filteringQuicksearch required almost no mental overhead:Focus columnTypeFirst match selectedCompared to:Opening filtersChoosing operatorsApplying / clearing filtersThis made it especially useful during conversations with users or while debugging data.4. Excellent for large datasetsIn grids with many rows:Scrolling is inefficientSorting doesn’t always helpFilters can be overkillQuicksearch acted as a “jump to value” mechanism, not a data‑reduction mechanism — a subtly different but very useful interaction.5. Consistency with legacy behavior & muscle memoryMany long‑time Thinkwise users built muscle memory around this feature.Its removal:Breaks established workflowsIncreases friction when moving to Universal UIMakes Universal UI feel like a regression in this specific area, despite its overall improvements6. Complementary, not a replacement, to filteringQuicksearch didn’t replace filters — it complemented them:Filters = structured, intentional selectionQuicksearch = fast navigation and orientationBoth serve different user intents and can coexist.

In modern applications, the ability to quickly and securely share information is considered a standard feature.Therefore, I propose adding a user-friendly sharing option, for example via a deeplink. This would allow users to share relevant information with colleagues or other authorized users in just one click.Why this adds value:Improves efficiency and collaboration between users Aligns with expectations of modern software Saves time and eliminates the need for manual retyping or screenshots Can be implemented securely based on access rightsIn short: a relatively small enhancement with a significant impact on usability and productivity.

For example, by using AI. Creating roles is quite a lot of work and something that often results in minor mistakes. Some how it feels kind of strange that there is no way to get some roles for free. Without having to do any work.I think that it can, and should be, possible to generate certain roles and therefor get these for free. Like get a read only and a management role for each menu entry.The read only role has access to the subject and all the visible details, but only ready only access.The management role has access to a subject and all the visible details. This role also has access to all the prefilters, tasks, reports and can insert, edit and delete on all these subjects.Having these roles available will save up quite some time. Since around 80% of your roles you will need is a management and read only role per menu entry.This might seem like a lot of work, but it could already be created through the enrichments. And with the coming of a MCP layer that should that simpler to implement.

This is a behaviour that is present in many other systems. This is currently done by creating a tasks that shows the same fields as the form, a lot of duplicate, extra, work and lots of places for new bugs to be introduced (rights, defaults, layouts etc etc).Would be nice if we can just select the flow that happens when creating a new recordsCurrent behaviour (default) Show popup formMaybe even support this when doing edit etc. Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:34:11 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/form-popup-as-a-possible-method-for-data-mutation-6707 After my presentation at the Thinkwise Developer event 2026 about the use of a Form popup to mutate data a lot of feedback was given that such a method should be a default option. So let’s make it an official idea!Idea: Give us an option to make the Create / Update action show us a Form popup by defaultFeel free to comment suggestions of how you think it should work, but here a few that were discussed or mentioned to me.When no form present, popup with the form instead; Bullet 1, but with added config. Choose a variant for each action (Create, Update). Same table/view.; Bullet 1, but with added config. Choose a target detail through the appropriate reference. So possibly a different table/view.Also credit to all the people for complimenting this idea!

The reason for this is so the icons in the application are better ordered. Tasks are with other tasks and reports with other reports.Left Tasks - Right ReportsThe reason we need a dummy report is to start a process flow. The process flow then activates a task that will insert a row in a sort of Queue table. This queue table will limit the selection of rows that DevExpress will use to make it's report; thus making the process a lot faster.So this task need to be run before opening the report. But the task cannot be the starting point for the process flow and therefor we need to use a dummy report.

A recurring issue is that it's currently not clear which user is logged on. The username, which is normally visible in the top right corner on a desktop, is automatically hidden by the Universal GUI when the screen width (resolution 768px) decreases. Meanwhile, nothing else is displayed in the blue top bar, so there is plenty of room for the username. My questions: Is there a setting in the Software Factory or IAM to force the username to remain visible regardless of resolution? If not, can this be achieved through a custom.css override? If so, which class should I target to prevent the display: none or hidden state of the user profile label? Having the logged-in user visible is vital for our operational flow to prevent scans being registered under the wrong account.I tried the following custom.css override, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work:spanadata-testid="topbar__user__name"] { display: inline-block !important; visibility: visible !important; opacity: 1 !important; }I suspect that the span is not just hidden via CSS, but actually removed from the DOM entirely once the responsiveness breakpoint is hit.

This feels like a lot of overhead for just a UI/UX preference. Is there a way to: Switch the menu strategy automatically based on screen resolution? Configure the menuStrategy(?) (List vs. Tiles) specifically in the Universal config.json per instance, without needing separate IAM applications? Any insights on how to handle device-specific navigation more efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

If these are lookups we can see the ID’s of the related tables there.As far as I can see now there is no way to view this info in the Universal GUI. That’s huge ommission when developing and it holds me back from developing in the Universal GUI. You’re working a kind in the blind… Hopefully I missed something in the documentation (However I’ve searching for about an hour) but this really important information should be visible as debug info in the Universal GUI. I’m a functional developer so I need values of the data being displayed and the underlying ID’s of related tables. In many cases issues in applications are data related!!!!   Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:39:21 +0200 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/product-updates/platform-improvements-for-week-13-2026-6699 Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2026.1.12, 2026.120260324 - Grant rights to date time interval for write back UP role When creating or modifying user-defined prefilters, it would not be possible for non-main administrators to save the prefilter if the date time interval was changed from Date and time to another value. This has been fixed.

Questions & Conversations Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:45:09 +0100 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/group-details-for-user-experience-4110 The thinkwise platform is very powerful as it comes to referencing information and one of the results is that the screen gets bloated with tabs up till the point there are just too much. The fact that you can have horizontal and vertical tabs is already great.  However I would like to be able to group tabs to deal with larger tab-lists and references that functionally can be grouped for better understanding by the user.Like below, where there can be maybe a left-border color for the status references or just some white-space between the status-group (first-four reference) and the other ones. I guess a bit like the pre-filter, task and report groupings.    Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:02:51 +0100 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/devexpress-watermerk-6581 Hi!Is het nog mogelijk om een watermerk in een DevExpress rapport zelf te plaatsen? Ik heb geprobeerd een watermerk als afbeelding (in plaats van url) te importeren in het rapport, maar na het opslaan wordt deze weer verwijderd. Wanneer ik het rapport preview voordat ik het opsla, is het nog wel te zien op het rapport.Is dit een bekend probleem of doe ik iets verkeerd?   Questions & Conversations Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:56:34 +0100 https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/make-it-possible-to-disable-autocorrect-for-search-fields-6646 When using the Universal GUI in Mac OS Safari, the fact that all edit fields use autocorrect by default, is very annoying. For example, when searching for a partial customer name, at one time you see the you typed enough characters to find the record you want. When you then navigate away from the search field, autocorrect kicks in, and often the autocorrected partial name is not what you want. Then the grid is empty or at least changed.As far as I see, this only happens in Safari, because Chrome does not have autocorrect.It seems disabling autocorrect is only possible / necessary in Safari and Firefox: https://caniuse.com/?search=autocorrect Being able to also disable autocorrect for form fields and grid fields could also be a handy feature. But there it could probably default to autocorrect=on for most text fields. Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:04:38 +0100
