Filter Concepts - what's your opinion?Blog

Hi everyone! In this blog I want to take you through my thought process regarding the Filter, Sort, and Search functionalities in the Universal GUI. I’m introducing a couple of concepts for which I’m particularly curious to hear your thoughts. Introduction Over time functionality has been gradually added, each of which has improved the Universal GUI. However, we also notice that it can resulted in a more cluttered and less intuitive user interface where certain elements are hidden or not very user-friendly. Based on my own review, drawing from my experiences and comparing with best practices around Filter, Sort, and Search, I came to the following conclusion: Filters are hidden: The filtering option is not immediately visible and is buried under the … menu. Unclear status of active filters: While filtered results are shown after applying a filter, the positioning of the filter interface is not always intuitive, making it hard to find and unclear whether a filter is currently active. So

🚀 Ideas to be 10X faster - which SF workaround to eliminate?

Compared to other platforms, Thinkwise really excels in productivity. Especially the fact that creating a Data Model immediately results in a working Application is unparalleled! One of the current strategic priorities is to double down on this development speed of the Thinkwise Platform: we strive to make every Developer a mythical 10X Developer! There are a lot of angles we can work in order to achieve that goal. As a first, we want to fix unnecessary limitation in the Software Factory (SF). This means we want to tackle those things for which you as Developer have to create workarounds to get functionality working the way you(r users) need it. There are a lot of great Ideas out there and of course we'll review the existing ones. But I would also like to call upon the Community to highlight which existing Ideas would be your priority and/or to create new Ideas related to eliminating SF workarounds (please keep it to this scope in this topic). Could you please: Reply with Ideas that wo

Dropdown choose - Bad request

Hi! So we recently installed our app on an on premise environment and an error that we don't really know where else to look at is the following one: We are getting 400 Bad Request - Invalid URL in the moment the user is choosing something from that dropdown. The target for that dropdown is a view which based on other columns given is filtering the results, this is working good in all other environments that we have. We tried it in windows gui and there is also working and in indicium live error log there is no result We tried also other tasks that are working in the same way and there everything is working fine, so it might be a local issue for add/edit tasks which we don't have more ideas how to track. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

CSS style sheet is not applied

I have set my first steps on customizing the stylesheet because there are really nice examples to improve the Universal GUI. Thanks Harm for your post on the cardlists. So I tried to read all about the custom css and I created a custom CSS and placed it in the universal folder. I just copied an example from the css blog of Jasper and copied some css code into the custom.css. It simply looks like this now, just to do a test and see how it works. However the css is not applied if I put in the universal folder. What do I miss. I restarted the application pool and the application as well on the webserver and in the browser but that did not help.As said I’m brand new to css so perhaps I miss some basics… Hope someone can help me out

405 Method not allowed when cancel task - On premise app

Hello! We are trying to install our app for a client on premise and until now everything seemed to work good. The strange part is that now for every task when the user is choosing to cancel the "An unknown error occurred, please contact your administrator” pops up. There is no process flow involved for that task, the deployment was good and execution of the task without cancel work fine. We checked the live error log, error log but nothing is there and on windows gui is not happening. When checking the network/console there we can see that the call failed with status 405 Method not allowed. Any ideas how we can solve this or what is causing it? We saw this post but is not very helpful since the answer is another question and it feels strange to be from permissions because executing the tasks normally without canceling them works just fine, but maybe we skip something that you can guide us.

Pop-up screen not working as main screen

Hi, The popup screen type of a table variant is not working as I expect it to in a task. I have a cases screen for which I created a table variant, named cases_menu. The cases_menu variant serves as a screen where users search for their cases. Since there are a lot of cases, the setting ‘Start empty with filter’ is turned on. This works perfectly when accessing the screen from the menu. However, when using a task that opens the cases_menu variant as a popup, the variant is opened with data. This defeats the purpose of the start empty with filter checkbox. Table variant with popup Table variant popup with data Additionally, the task below should open a form of the cases screen, which is assigned and made available in the cases_menu variant, but doesnt work. Now this could be solved with a form detail, but since the user is used to double clicking a case, I would like it that the double click opens an additional popup/zoom. Kind regards, Mark

How to put loggings to display in error logs

Hello, Would like to check on how to put loggings on Functionality or Process flow, that will show/display in the error logs. For troubleshooting or debugging. Currently we are having some issue in the system, and I would like to put loggings. The functionality is control procedure (Tasks ) and using merge script template. To give a small background of the implementation, we have process flow to import data in the system, the import data is a json file from other system. Sample error we encounter is below. I would like to put a logging to pin point exactly which data is causing an error.

Containerized Universal not working

After pulling and running Indicium and Universal containers in Docker on an on-premise Ubuntu host both are running but Universal isn’t reachable via the browser. Browsing to http://hostname/ shows the running Indicium instance (log-in also works) but when going to http://hostname/alias our end-product doesn’t start and I get a blank page instead. These are the docker run commands I used to pull and install the containers: Indicium docker run \ -p 8080:8080 \ -e SQL_USERNAME='***' \ -e SQL_PASSWORD='***' \ -e CUSTOM_JSON='{"Logging":{"LogLevel":{"Default":"Information","System":"Information","Microsoft":"Warning","Indicium":"Information","Duende.IdentityServer":"Warning"},"ApplicationInsights":{"LogLevel":{"Default":"Information","System":"Information","Microsoft":"Warning","Indicium":"Information","Duende.IdentityServer":"Warning"}},"ErrorLog":{"PathFormat":"Indicium-{Date}.txt","LogLevel":{"Default":"Error"}}},"MetaSourceConnection":{"Server":"HOST1","Database":"IAM"},"Agent":{"Enabl

Determine correct file path (Windows or Linux) from systemflow

We have a Linux server with a couple of Docker containers running Indicium and Universal. We plan to move systemflows from IIS to this new server but for now we want to have the option to run them in both environments if needed. All relevant files and folders for the systemflows are reachable from the Indicium container but because file paths on Linux are different from those on Windows the correct path needs to be determined from the systemflow. An idea to solve this problem is to include two file read connectors that try to read a simple check file using two different absolute paths. The two possible absolute paths would look something like this: Windows: \\share\checkfile.txt Linux: /share/checkfile.txt The correct path depends on which of the two connectors can successfully access the text file. Is this the best way to reach the goal?

Filter & pre-filters in action bar (universal GUI)

What am I doing wrong? I want the pre-filters after the normal filters, and actually in the overflow. So I defined this in the default action bar And in screen type I setup an action bar (the pre-filter bar is also necessary, otherwise no pre-filters are visible, which is unexpected to me, as these should appear based on action bar. For the tasks, those are visible based on action bar, so these seem to work differently) Here also, filter & quick-filter before pre-filters But the result is, and that is not what I want As default is overflow, I have not defined custom display type Am I doing something wrong or is it not working properly? Also this is very strange.

A custom path where the GUI stores a cache of the application definition to increase the startup time.

Extended properties | Thinkwise Documentation The entry CachePath has a neat little entry: A custom path where the Windows GUI stores a cache of the application definition to increase the startup time. My best bet is that this is something you would not like to set, because, well, it increases your time waiting on starting up the app right? Now to my probable problem: We’ve got it set to %temp%\awesomeness_app That location is not restricted for reading, writing etc… Can it be that for some time now this is not working anymore, because it (tries to) write its cache in the same directory as where the executable is stored?

zip process action returning empty data

I try to implement a zip and download functionality that reads out a folder on azure and zips the files inside that folder. There are the following steps : Decision that either selects the next folder to zip or ends the process when there is no folder left to zip. This decision sets a process variable with the name of the folder. (not shown in the picture) This folder name is used as input for the zip process action. One of the output fields of the zip action is the file_data, which is assigned to a process variable that has the var_binary(max) datatype. This var_binary variable is the used as input for the download action that also takes the filename of the eventual file that is downloaded. The download itself seems to be working as in that a ‘save as’ form is shown with the correct filename that can then be saved on the local machine. However, the file that is created is empty. The zip functionality itself does not give any errors (status code 0 is returned) and the file_data output

Can I use the Lookup value in a POST directly?

In the works of creating a whole flow to process users and its user groups in the application to communicate to IAM, I am configuring the Web connections. In setting up all endpoints, I’ve added several GET actions to obtain values from lookups which I later use in the actual POST (ex. Create user). The question now, is there also a way to directly use a Lookup value in the POST instead of needing to find its “id” in intermediate steps? For example I wish to obtain the “write_back_usr_pref_type_id” by just supplying the name of the configuration.

Options for Exporting or Accessing Charts

Hi! We’ve been using cubes to monitor our KPIs. I was wondering whether it’s possible to schedule periodic exports of the chart itself, either as a PDF or an image. If exporting isn’t possible, would it be possible to retrieve the chart through something like an API call?

Scheduled system flow stopped working

I just had an issue with the scheduled system flow that was perfectly handled with a TCP call by @Angelica van der Beek . I thought it would be worthwhile to share it in the community, in case someone else encounters the same issue. At our customer we had a systemflow scheduled every 5 seconds, in order to treat incoming calls. The system flow did not work, wh in the production environment while in Acceptance it did. We did verify all settings according to documentation: - Configuring pool users https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/indicium#configuring-pool-users - Create the web application https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/indicium#create-the-web-application - Restarting the application https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/iis#restarting-the-application - application Initialization https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/iis#application-initialization

IAM tasks to apply roles & rights: how to workaround 2 applications on same db

In the IAM you have 2 taks to apply roles & user rights on the DB, and that one gives a notice when I have 1 model 2 applications that point to the same DB. De rechten van deze applicatie kunnen niet toegepast worden omdat er andere applicaties actief zijn op dezelfde database en server. Although I understand the reason this check is there, however it is only viable when the applications have different models I guess. Situation is as follows, there is 1 model, 2 applications (each with a distinct context variable and some other contextual difference like color) that point to the same database (it's not an option to separate the DB). Due to this check I cannot sync the roles, and as the applications have the same model/version it should be allowed to do this. As for the user-rights, it appears this can also run perfectly fine when the model/version is equal between the applications, as the user-list looks at the users of the Tenant, not specifically users that are present in the authori

Security Thinkwise Community Portal (TCP)

Hello, We have a very tight security policy within our company. This means we cannot download any files on servers in our DTA environment without explicit consent from our security department. I was discussing with the security department how we could and should download upgrades from TCP and upgrade our environments. This department is now interested in any information about the security of TCP in general and how we could know for sure that the files we download from this portal are safe? For example, they want information about: Security monitoring/checks TCP Encryption Any information is welcome! Thanks in advance. Best regards, Nick Janssen

View based on API results

Hello, I am looking for some guidance on how to implement a view which is based on the API results of another internal application. To give you some context, we have a Document Management System (DMS) which offers an API layer. Based on a selected record in Universal, a query parameter is filled and the corresponsing documents are returned in the response. I want to show these filenames in a grid as a detail of the selected record. I tried the following: In a tree menu, add a task instead of a table/view This task is a start task of a process flow: Calls the API endpoint and writes the result in a table Opens a document (a view which is based on the most recent call to the endpoint) This method works for my basic example, with a slightly longer loading time than a normal view (because of the API call). However, we would like to implement this solution in the menu where it belongs. This menu has the following structure: Menu structure In Tab 1, a record is selected. Tab 2 is a deta

Manual procedures on database outside the software factory

Hi, we currently have some procedures on our project database which we’ve manually added to the database instead of through the Software Factory. We have several reasons for doing this. I thought the Software Factory wouldn’t drop objects in schema’s other than dbo. I think I read some other question which mentioned objects in other schema’s wouldn’t be dropped but I can’t find it now. It’s also mentioned in this documentation: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/blog/2023.2#deployment---only-dropping-objects-in-dbo-schema Our manual procedures exist in a different schema but the Software Factory still tries to drop them and this causes errors. This is part of the code in execute source code which tries to drop our procedures: /* Drop all procedures */ declare @procedure_name varchar(255) declare drop_objects cursor fast_forward forselect quotename(s.name)from sysobjects swhere s.type = 'P' and s.name not like 'def$_%' escape '$' -- Do not drop defaults. and s.name not like 'lay$_%' esc
