The option to use IN as filter in the form listCompleted

The last couple of days we receive multiple questions from our end users that the standard form list in the GUI doesn't give the option to use ‘IN’ to filter results. 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!

Activate top-left Screen Component upon opening a screenCompleted

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?

Validation - Global shortcut conflictsNew

Recently, a lot more shortcuts have been added to Universal. Such as ALT + R to Refresh the model, ALT + M to search the Menu and CTRL + K to activate search on a Subject. This list seems to keep on expanding, which is great.However, some of these shortcuts can conflict with existing tasks, without developers being warned about this.Why?This would improve the overall quality of the application (since there are no overlapping shortcuts, or they are intentional). For the conflict on the ‘Application’ subject in the IAM on the shortcut CTRL + K; both Copy application and Search on the subject, TCP Ticket 16075I was created.How?Create a validation on the model, that checks conflicts with global shortcuts.Optionally give a warning message to the developer that this shortcut is conflicting, when setting the shortcut.

Show parent nodes on search in Tree structuresOpen

When nodes are filtered using the combi filter, the parent nodes of the matching results should always remain visible. Otherwise, the context of the filtered nodes is lost, making it hard to understand where the results belong within the tree structure.Example and desired behaviour:As an enhancement, we would like to see a model setting that allows developers to control this behavior. For example, an option such as "Show parent nodes when filtering" could be added to the Tree View configuration. When enabled, all parent nodes of matching results would automatically be displayed, preserving the hierarchical context while searching.

Branch validationsOpen

Create a filter under creation, validations to show only validations that are new in the branch.For example main branch has still 30 open validations, feature branch has 50 open validations. When the filter is active only show the 20 validations.

Opening a second instance of a screen from Open documentsOpen

Usability suggestion for the Universal version of SF: if you, for example, [Ctrl]+click on Subjects under User interface, a new instance of the Subjects screen opens. However, doing the same on Subjects under Open documents does nothing.Because of this, I have to look up the Subjects option again under User interface, even though I usually want to open a second instance of a screen at exactly the moment the first one is already open — and therefore already shows up under Open documents.Please make [Ctrl]+click work under Open documents as well.

better layout for universal errorsOpen

Please improve the layout of universal errors. This is the error starting with the query.  Then I have to scroll down half way to even find the error.  Please put the error on top to greatly improve debugging time.

Native OpenTelemetry support for IndiciumOn the backlog

Indicium has supported Azure Application Insights (Blog post 2021) and AWS CloudWatch (Indicium 2022.2.13) for some time.OpenTelemetry would allow Indicium to expose standardized observability telemetry—such as traces, metrics, and logs—without requiring users to send their data to Azure or AWS.Why?Currently, telemetry is only available when sending the data to either Azure Application Insights or AWS Cloudwatch. Local, on-premise and hybrid deployments could benefit from OpenTelemetry support and route this telemetry to a stack such a Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo or Jaeger.How?To make this concrete, some suggestions for Indicium in order to support OpenTelemetry:Indicium can send telemetry using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) An OTLP endpoint can be configured, using gRPC and/or HTTP. These settings can be setup for a Indicium container using specific environment variables (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/container_registry_indicium#environment-variables) Settings comparable to the Azure Application Insights (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/aws#log-to-aws-cloudwatch) can be setup for the OTLP endpoint.

Webdomain: Allow / disallow applicationsOpen

The introduction of the Webdomain has given the possibility to give a different login experience based on the domain.We can allow certain tenants on domains and give them specific login methods to login.What's missing?We still miss the option of allowing / disallowing a certain application on a webdomain.In our scenario, we have two applications hosted on the same IAM/Indicium/Universal combo.It would be great that we could create two webdomains where app-1.mydomain.nl only allows the users to acces app-1 and app-2.mydomain.nl only allows the users to access app-2.Why?Especially in production environments, the switching between applications has to be done right, without question. Switching inside the same Universal GUI instance (say browser tab or PWA), can be tricky, especially when the look and feel of both applications are the same.When allowing the Webdomain to allow / disallow the applications, you could create a PWA for each application easily.

Configure 'Search' fields as a user-preferenceOpen

The global search is often configured to the most used fields. However this doesn’t always match all use cases. As a user I would like the option to configure this myself on certain subjects. I would like to have at least the option to exclude certain search fields as configured in the model. But preferably also have the option to add other search fields.

Application log on the Software factoryOpen

Could the Application log be enabled on the Software factory please?I think it would help finding out ‘how something got there’ when a developer created a strange situation. It could also help with tracing what AI did through MCP.And of course it could help with analysing performance issues. I would prefer it to be available SF-wide (over all models/branches), with the possibility to filter on a model/branch (prefilter for current branch).

Double click grid to editUnder review

I would like the option in the SF to set a subject to grid edit mode if a users double clicks on a row (optional: clicking on a specific column like with tasks). I know this can be done already with creating a double click task that uses a proces flow to go to grid edit mode. But it gets quite cumbersome when you want to implement this at almost all subjects that use edit in grid in an application, specially in combination with roles.

Make multiple Search code screens independent, like all other screensOpen

Current behaviorWhen multiple instances of the same screen are open in the Software Factory, they work independently. Search code is the only exception, because its instances share state:Open Search code and search for term X. Open a second Search code screen and search for term Y. Return to the first screen and click Search again.The first screen now shows the results for Y, and its search term has changed to Y.Why this is a problemUsers learn from the rest of the platform that each screen instance keeps its own context. Search code breaks that expectation without any visual indication. A user who opens a second Search code screen to compare results, or to keep an earlier search at hand, silently loses the first one and may act on results they did not ask for. Even if this is intended, from a user's perspective it is indistinguishable from a defect.ProposalMake behavior consistent (orthogonal) across the platform:Preferred: each Search code instance keeps its own state (search term, filters, results), just like other screens. Alternative: if shared state is a deliberate design choice, make it explicit. For example, reuse the existing Search code screen instead of opening a new instance, or clearly indicate that the instances are linked.What matters most is predictability. Either all screen instances are independent or none are, with no silent exception for a single screen.ContextI originally reported this as a bug. It was closed as intended behavior, with the suggestion to submit it as an idea, which is why I am posting it here.

Max/Min Width Settings for Form-, Task- and Report FieldsPlanned

We like to have more control over field widths, because often you wish to give fields a absolute widthExamples:house number postal code dates bank accounts etc..When fields are on the same line it can have a mix of fixed and flexible widths.It should be more easy to set this up in the Software Factory.

Turn off hyperlink for image in (readonly) formOpen

For an image-upload control, it is currently not possible to disable the hyperlink/download feature in the form (read mode).It is annoying that clicking anywhere on the field opens a new browser tab with the image while the user is never interested in downloading the image in this case.In the example below, the image field is the full width of the page, so clicking anywhere right of the actual image opens a browser tab with the image.The GUI could maybe use the domain ‘Show action button’ setting to configure this behaviour. An alternative could be that the GUI is changed so that not the whole image field is the button, but that images get an small action button in the corner as is done with other type of controls.

Enhanced Scheduler: Multi-select drag & drop and auto-scroll while draggingOpen

While using the Enhanced Scheduler for production planning, we've identified two improvements that would significantly increase usability and planning efficiency. 1. Move multiple activities/orders at onceCurrently, activities can only be moved individually. In real-life planning scenarios, it is often necessary to shift an entire group of activities or orders together due to schedule changes, machine downtime, or capacity adjustments.Suggested functionality:Select multiple activities using Ctrl/Shift or a selection box. Drag and drop all selected activities together. 2. Auto-scroll when dragging beyond the visible time rangeWhen moving an activity to a date outside the currently visible time range, dragging stops at the edge of the scheduler.Suggested functionality:Automatically scroll the timeline when the cursor reaches the left or right edge during a drag operation. Allow users to continue dragging activities to dates that are not currently visible without manually navigating first.

Drag and drop between two rowsOpen

Currently, the drag-and-drop function works by dragging one record onto another. The second record is the only drop target data available for determining the subsequent actions.It would be more intuitive if the drop behavior worked like in most applications, where a thick line is displayed between two rows in the UI to indicate where the record will be placed.From a technical perspective, the result could always return the row data of the record directly above the line (or an empty value when the record is dropped at the top). Alternatively, it could return the data of both surrounding rows.

Feedback regarding the new ticket layout in TCPClosed

Good improvement that tickets which require user action are only counted for the badge now and are default sorted on top.   Please add the ‘Product’ field (Universal/SF/IAM/etc.) back to the grid, this helps with finding an issue when you don’t remember the title.   After executing the ‘Annulering beoordelen’ task, an issue stays visible with status ‘Opgelost’ while the prefilter ‘Gesloten tickets verbergen’ is active. For example ticket 14568i.   ‘Activiteit’ and ‘Commentaar’ are a bit confusing/redundant: In ‘Activiteit’ I see the whole conversation, but the Add button doesn’t work (all fields are read-only/hidden). My expectation was that I could add a ‘Commentaar’ line here. In ‘Commentaar’ I only see a small part of the conversation. For example messages that are written when the issues switches status between 'In behandeling' and 'Reactie gewenst' are missing.   The default screentype could be improved if it shows the form below/next to the grid. So you could see the ‘Toelichting’ when browsing through the issues without extra clicking. I am currently using the Master-detail screentype myself. If this is changed, a bit smaller grid height would be appreciated too.   When I use the ‘Kopieren’ button to create a new ticket, I cannot edit the ‘Toelichting’.

Create allowed tenant and login option rows when adding a Web DomainNext release

In case only one tenant exists it would help to create default rows in these tables when a web domain is added: :web_domain_allowed_tenantweb_domain_login_optionElse nobody will be abble to open the application and there is no other way to solve the problem via the IAM database

Handler for copy actionOpen

I would like to be able to set a handler specific for a copy action that also uses the source row primary key as parameter(s). This way we do not need to create a specific copy task every time we want to include weak-entities in the copy action but the handler can execute that logic.This also has the advantage that the copy action is always at the same position in the action bar.

Visibility of inactive tabOpen

Can you change something on the visibility of the inactive TABS. In the WIN GUI the colored Icons were made grey on an inactive tab. When the tab was active the colored icon was shown. So it was very clear for users when the tab was inactive. And with using color it was also very clear when the tab was active.In the current Universal version the inactive tab is shown with very lightly reduced colors. As wel the text of the tab as the icon. This is the inactive variant And this is the active variant. When you see them here in exploded format and next to each other the difference can be seen. However in the application you see one or the other, and they are much smaller. So for the user it’s much harder to see if the tab is active or not.The grey variant for the inactive variant in the WIN GUI was much and much better and much more clear to the user

Paste multiple options in a search bar or filterOpen

Our users need to search for multiple articles or other options in their work, to change statusses of those, or edit other data combined with the selection, therefor they paste a total selection with multiple search terms seperated by a character.They want to search / filter like this: 2508*|2517*|etc… - it can also be with a comma to seperate the keywords, or other regex variants.But now they need to filter for them one by one by one. Which takes a really long time.Can we add the possibility to search or filter on multiple option by filling in the options in one long query or string?

Better filter control for source_branch_type_of_object on merge_conflict_overviewCompleted

Having countless of program object types makes it kind of a pain for filtering when dealing with merge conflicts (especially merge sessions with numerous conflicts).  Long long list of object typesIn my instance I know a majority from the conflicts originate from Translations. Now I have to manually scroll all the way down to the ‘T’ area and still look around there. Would be nice if I could just type and search instead.
