Adding multiple rows at once through a lookupNew

A request I heard a lot from users over the years is to make it possible to select multiple rows in a lookup window and add them all at once. I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t be possible if we accept the following limitations:The user must be adding a row (not editing). All fields (excepts for the lookup field) must be optional or filled with a default value. So no user interaction is required to add the row. Although maybe it could be possible to allow mandatory fields that are not filled with a default procedure if the user just enters it in the first row and the same value is used for all rows. So if the user wants to add multiple rows, he presses the ‘Add’ button, opens the lookup window and select multiple rows. The GUI should fill in the first row, save the row, automatically add the next row with the next selected value and continue this until all selected values are added. The default/layout procedure should be executed for each row. If one rows encounters a problem, for example one selected value is rejected in the default procedure, It should skip that row and continue with the next one. A same kind of summary popup with failed rows could be shown to the user as is done with the mass-update feature.

Trailing zero's and decimal countNew

By default our application shows 4 decimals in Numeric fields, but we don't want to show any trailing zero's for standard nummeric fields and 2 decimals for currency fields.Our Windows gui does this, but Universal is always showing 4 decimals.How do we get Universal the same as our Windows Gui?

Create icon using AINew

I often have trouble finding the right icon. It would be great if I can describe the icon I want and have the Software Factory (using gen. AI) create an icon for me. Perhaps, as context, I should have a place where I can store the project guidelines for icon usage, for example colour usage, complexity, etc. This way, I get a more predictable outcome for the icon.In my mind the context given to the AI should be as follows: Object type (task, prefilter, table, etc.) Object name Object translation Object description (application specific) guidelines regarding icons Some sample icons coming from the current set Optional description of what I wantThe output should be a proposed icon (svg) that I can either: Accept and use Reply to and ask to generate a new icon

Make it possible to disable autocorrect for (search) fieldsNew

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.

Optimize the smoke test screenOpen

In the smoke test screen you are quite limited on functions. I would love to see 2 things added here.A Task to hide a Test, or approve. Just like in the validation screen. Take for example a View that command timed out. You know the reason but it still pops up in your list and give alot of cluther arround the test steps that matter. Another great task which is introduced in a lot of screens is the Go to functionality button or Go to prefilter button. Currently when something is wrong with a prefilter in the test step, you are not able to edited it in the form. You need to open it separately in subjects. Or when something is wrong with a view I would to go to the view code directly.

Always show record count in gridsNew

Figure 1Figure 2As shown in the screenshots, the pagination bar in Figure 1 (e.g. “1–100 of 318”) is visible when multiple pages exist, but completely hidden when there is only one page (visible in Figure 2). This means users cannot immediately see how many records are present in smaller result sets. Although we can add an aggregated count field to display the total number of records, we would prefer to have the possibility to make the standard pagination bar visible instead for consistency and user convenience.

Single click tasks for card lists on mobile devicesNew

Hello all,We have a scenario where we want the user to navigate to a details tab, the user in this case is on a mobile device. While on a tablet, there are some options to make a detail tab appear on the side of the screen, this option is not doable for mobile phones. And some of our users are going to use mobile phones instead of tablets.We used a task link before, so the user can click on a task on a record, but this is not ideal. This is not the web and mobile way. As Nielsen and Norman's 10 usability heuristics put it: recognition rather than recall. On mobile and web applications (looking at apps like Outlook and Gmail) it is common to have a single click on a record. Just on the record, not on a task button integrated in the record.A user will recognise a single click on a card record to navigate to the details, rather than having to actively push an integrated button, link or a double click. This is all very Windows oriented and not quite how web and mobile apps are built. We find it to be inconsistent with web standards. So that is why I would like to request a single click option: as single click on a card record, like in Outlook or Gmail to get to a detail view of a said record via a task and (if necessary) process flow.Though I've seen merged ideas to the following idea: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/ability%2Dto%2Dshow%2Dtable%2Dtasks%2Don%2Dgrid%2Dline%2D518 This is not what we are looking for. This is still a new feature which is very Windows oriented. We don't want extra buttons in our records, we want the user to just click a record once and navigate to the desired details.This happens to fall nicely under the fourth Nielsen and Norman usability heuristic as well as the sixth:Consistency and StandardsUsers should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing. Follow platform and industry conventions.Jakob's Law states that people spend most of their time using digital products other than yours. Users’ experiences with those other products set their expectations. Failing to maintain consistency may increase the users' cognitive load by forcing them to learn something new.Recognition Rather than RecallMinimize the user's memory load by making elements, actions, and options visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the interface to another. Information required to use the design (e.g. field labels or menu items) should be visible or easily retrievable when needed.Humans have limited short-term memories. Interfaces that promote recognition reduce the amount of cognitive effort required from users.At this point in time, we have quite a history of user actions on the internet, and the single click on a card record (like in Outlook or Gmail) is one of them. This would, instead of a new double click action, greatly increase usability of our software, especially for those that are not too well versed in computers and mobile devices.

Support Image Paste (Ctrl+V) in Universal GUINew

In our daily work we frequently use Snagit to create and annotate screenshots for documentation, issue tracking, and clarifications. The workflow is very efficient: capture → annotate → Ctrl+C → paste it where you need it.However, when attaching the image in the Universal GUI, we currently need to: Save the file locally Open the upload dialog Browse to the folder Select and upload the file These extra steps slow down the process, especially when adding multiple screenshots per day.ProposalAllow users to paste images directly from the clipboard (Ctrl+V) into an attachment or image field in the Universal GUI.If the clipboard contains an image, the GUI should automatically upload and store it.This behavior is already common in many modern web applications and would significantly improve usability.

Sidebar navigation menu: Reposition hamburger switcher + Make full collapsable state possibleNew

Goals of this feature request:The sidebar navigation menu hamburger icon and screen name can be positioned more logically and consistently across all screen sizes (mobile / desktop). On expanding the menu from a collapsed state, the user currently no longer sees the screen name. Make this visible. Introduce a fully collapsed menu state for maximum use of horizontal screen real estate. The current sidebar states are as following: We suggest to make the hamburger switcher stick to the left of the topbar. And then let the navigation sidebar work from below the topbar (it currently overlays it). Also introduce the possibility for a three-state navigation sidebar (instead of two-state) by clicking the hamburger icon (sequence 1 > 2 > 3 > back to 1): Fully expanded state Partially collapsed state Fully collapsed state (maximum horizontal screen real estate In a sidebar collapsed state, the menu should expand when the user hovers over the hamburger icon (this is something currently missing as well). This behavior is required to expand the sidebar from a fully collapsed state, while still be able to collapse it again when the user leaves the hover-over. This feature request also coincides with another feature that is already underway, and that is being able to use ALT + M shortcut to automatically set focus to the search field of the navigation sidebar. For power users (which most users are using Thinkwise systems) the fully collapsed sidebar state in combination with ALT + M to quickly find the menu-item they know (and return to new screen with collapsed menu), provides them with maximum screen real estate to work on at all time while still attaining a fast navigation flow. The end result is also a consistent hamburger menu positioning and sidebar menu behavior across all device types.

Activate top-left Screen Component upon opening a screenOpen

Upon opening a new Document in the Universal GUI the first value in the top left (at least for Western writing) Screen Component should be activated. This especially goes for the Grid component, where it seems as if the first Row is selected. In below example it took me 44 tabs to get to the first column value of the seemingly selected Row. Could the Universal GUI be a bit smarter here?

index optimizerNew

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.

Add some indicator for database or environment in universalNew

At support we work with multiple version of the software factory and multiple environments. 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:

Use auto-save in Software factory on most gridsNew

With SF 2026.1 some changes were made with the use of auto-edit and auto-save on different subjects, but I feel like more screens could be improved with the use of auto-save on grids.For example: -Data model - Tables - Columns-Functionality - Templates-Roles - All detail tabs-Subjects - Columns, this is currently on auto-edit but since there is a form to edit and the only editable field in the grid is ‘type’, auto-edit is more confusing then helpful here. So I think auto-save would be better.-… basically everything that is edited through grids.

I would like to know the selected date in the schedulerNeeds feedback

When I use the scheduler, I can set the date in the date picker or I can scroll in time. When I start a task for a resource, I would like to know the value of the selected date.

Enable additional time scales option for schedulerOpen

We need more options to set up the time scales in the scheduler to see more details per day.Currently, the possibilities are too limited, and the behavior is not as expected.Time scale options in the software factory make it seem possible, but the end result looks very different and some combinations do not even work. We need additional options like these. It is also desirable to be able to set that the current date is on the left side of the screen when starting See also here:

Scheduler: Extend date chooser / Go to Prev/next activityCompleted

The sliding scale selector is nice,, but I would like it to have a popup to go to a more distant date more quickly. Or even some smart buttons here to go the previous / next event… Scheduler always starts on current date, and I would definitely prefer if the system does that only when there is no activity planned yet.. in all other cases it should go the first activity planned.

Scheduler: Bounded Plan Frame and show planner dateCompleted

The current scheduler always start on the current time. This is unwanted. I want to be able to programmatically set the start date. There are a few ideas around this concept:Overrule start-view with custom date. Bound the plan-scale with start / end-date (for example when you plan an event) Hide non functional days/hours (holidays, weekends or other defined dates.. and hours that cannot be planned… )

start and end time in the schedulerMerged

In the Resource Scheduler for the Universal GUI it would be handy to enter a start and end time for a day, so that not all the hours of a day are shown in the scheduler? For example, for suppressing night hours.

Working days & working hours Universal schedulerCompleted

For a customer I have created a scheduler in Universal. However, the customer indicates that she would like to set working days and working hours. This means that in certain scheduler views some end users have to scroll a lot to see the desired results. In the Windows scheduler it is possible to set working days and working hours. Could this setting also be applied to the Universal scheduler? This would be an additional reason for the customer to switch to Universal (earlier).

Make "Close document" a possible starting point in a process flowNext release

We use a lot of Modal document form in our application, which works great. There are however some situation where a process flow end with the opened document. After a user is done with the required actions we sometimes desire to take care of certain actions after or triggered by a closing of the document.Unfortunately this Action does not count as a starting point.A workaround for now is using a task in the screen that follows with a “Close document”, but the user often misses that. The “CLOSE’ button takes so much focus, that such a task would be missed. Also if the screen already has many tasks, it would not stand out that much anyway even when marked as primary. The idea is to make “Close document” a starting action in a process flow.The idea of course goes with a warning that the “Close” is always available on such a document, that one should be aware it could be pressed without actively having done anything in the screen and uses it as a cancel, but I think this should be the responsibility of the developer using such flows.
