Change settings in profile menuNew

The profile menu shows several options. We would like to choose which options are shown, based on user groups. Not all options are needed. It would be great if this could be configured in IAM

Bring back user custom aggregationsOpen

In Universal is is no longer possible for a user to create custom aggregations (column totals in the grid for instance), this was possible in the Windows GUI.

Bring back dragging fields in cubesOpen

In Universal it is no longer possible to drag cube fields to change their order, this was possible in the Windows GUIThe workaround of adding a panel with cube fields is not user friendly, and take up valuable screen real estate

Effective user rights permissionsOpen

We are currently tightening user permissions within our IAM applications. Each company has its own IAM application with at least one key user. A key user supports IAM activities and is responsible for maintaining the role/permission structure for other users.We have reviewed the key-user responsibilities and adjusted permissions so they only have what they need. As part of this, we removed access that allowed changes to application-level settings. We no longer want to assign Main Administrator or Application Administrator roles to key users.Since these changes, key users can no longer access the “Effective user rights” table. This table is very useful for them because it provides a clear overview of what permissions users effectively have.Is there a way to grant access to the “Effective user rights” table by adding the required permissions to one of the following groups, without giving admin roles? Our key users currently have these roles:Application owners Group administrators User administrators Simulators

Add a clear button to the process flow monitorOpen

In the Debug Center both the error log and the database event log both have clear button. But the process flow monitor does not. Sometimes you want to clear this screen please also add a clear button.

Add height unit "Form Units" in the Screen Component settingsOpen

Would it be possible to have an extra Height Unit available called something like “Form Units” which is equal to the raster height in forms? This is the unwanted result when a fixed height in pixels is set, is shows extra whitespace then the height is to much or a vertical scrollbar when the height is set to low and it also depends on the client screen screen size and resolution. Especially on small handheld devices this is annoying.Ideally it should look like this

Long and short translation for tasks/reportsOpen

We would like to see separate translations for the button and the popup for tasks and reports. For this we would like a short(for the button) and long translation(for the popup) for tasks/reports.This is not possible at the moment. There's only 1 translation and you can choose to either show it or not and with or without an icon.For example this task has this translation using abbrevations because otherwise the button would be too big.When we open the popup it shows this: It shows the same translation.We would like to translate the header of this popup separately. In this case we would like to translate it to: Wijzigen koersafwijking ingedekt t.o.v. calculatie.

Add grid views (in addition to prefilters)Open

Context To create different grid layouts (i.e. active columns, sort order, fixed columns, etc) for users, we now have to rely on developers (i.e. design-time) to create Variants. Variants are a good way to also control many other things in a screen, but oftentimes users only want a different grid layout (mostly when they change a prefilter) while the rest of the screen must remain the same. An example of this is when a user switches between working with open sales-orderlines or invoiced sales-orderlines: When working with open sales-orderlines, the invoice-ID-column is not relevant but showing the available stock columns is. When working with invoiced sales-orderliness, the invoice-ID-column is relevant but the available stock column is not. It is currently also not possible to not have only a selection of all possible columns activated when a user opens a screen for the first time (now default behavior is all columns are active and this cannot be controlled). Feature request We ask for the ability for end users and application managers (in IAM) to save and share Views at runtime. Views will live directly next to prefilters and the combination of both is very powerful. A view will be able to store and retrieve: Visible columns / column sequence Column width # Left pinned (frozen) columns (make this user-controlled) Column sorting (single/multi-sort, sort direction) Grouping settings (if user controlled and made possible in future Thinkwise release) Paging size (if user controlled and made possible in future Thinkwise release) Additional features: Have the option to load a view, change settings in the grid, and save the new settings over the existing view or as a new view. At least 1 view must be the default view. When managing views (in a pop-up-screen), have the option to set one or more default prefilter(s) for the view. When managing prefilters (in a pop-up-screen), have the option to set a default view for the prefilter. Using IAM, an application manager should be able to copy a view that a (key) user created and promote is to a ‘standard view’ for a screen-variant/user-group combination. This achieves that certain ‘standard’ views can be distributed to user teams centrally.

Make auto-refresh depend on server timeOpen

Auto-refresh is done based on the last refresh timestamp generated by the client, as the client and server can be out of sync for many reasons this leads so situations where the auto-refresh works incorrectly. This can lead to extra or missing refreshes.My suggestion is to include current server timestamp in the reply of the entity or auto-refresh procedure and use this as the input parameter to send with the next auto-refresh check.This way we are never in situation where we can have any desync of clocks.I am aware there are ways to avoid this issue but all are a workaround to essentially a solvable issue.

Copying Variant settings to DefaultOpen

Is there a way of changing a Default Subject settings to be the same as one of its Variants?Transitioning to Universal we have made a Variant for most of our Subjects to give the Subject an updated look in Universal and leave the Windows Default unchanged.When we will stop using Windows, I would like if I can “make a Variant a Default”. It would be pretty tedious to manually change everything.

Feedback regarding the new ticket layout in TCPNew

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’.

Bring back hotkey for combined filter (search)New

In the Windows GUI we were able to use CTRL-G to put our cursor in the combined filter (search).We would love to have this feature in Universal, where the hotkey would take you to the (nearest) combined filter for the current subject.

Apply button for prefilter pop-upOpen

It is annoying that the filter pop-up is immediately closed when changing a prefilter that is part of an "OR" group.This problem mainly occurs on small devices, where filters must be set with a pop-up.I can imagine that it is difficult to come up with an intuitive solution for this. It might be an idea to add an 'Apply' button in those cases.

Dark mode in Debug CenterOpen

I use dark mode in the Software Factory and SSMS. It’s great that since the Software Factory is available via the Univeral GUI, that it supports dark mode.However, the Debug Center is missing this feaute and is always in ‘light’ mode:It would be great if the Debug Center gets dark mode as well since it’s used a lot during development.Yours sincerely,My eyes

Restore prefilter status when opening a new documentNew

For universal please make the prefilters act like they did in windows gui. If a document is closed, or a new document is opened restore the default prefilter status. In universal if i am on a screen to show all customers. I can deactivate a prefilter to show inactive customers. The next time I open this screen the prefilter will still be deactivated. Why? The default is there for a reason, it’s the most logical set of prefilters to show the screen when opening. This is one feature where windows gui is still supreme. Please change this to make the universal gui easier to use.

Better look-up when changing screen typeNew

The change screen type lookup on subject when in a application, only shows the name of the screen type: Problem is you don’t get any information on what you are selecting. And you can select a screen type that does not allow you to change screen types. Thus you have to go to IAM remove the screen type and try another. If the lookup provided more info you actually make a calculated decision instead of a best guess when changing screen types. Something like this:

Keep state of document when switchen between "Open documents" in the menuNew

When for example working in the Software Factory, it is not strange to swap between the multiple opened documents. Unfortunately that also means that certain states get returned to their default.Ex:1) You have the Subject entity open and are looking at the columns tab. You have moved your horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the “Context input” column. After having checked something in another document and return to the Subject entity, the scroll bar is again at the start and the “Context input” is again out of sight. Similar behaviour for vertical scrolled grids or forms.2) Another example is the process flow design. You are zooming out to make some space where you intend to put new actions and have some room to move stuff around if needed. After returning it is back to a zoomed in state to just fit all placed actions inside.3) Last example is one of the more annoying ones, which might not entirely fit in this idea as it probably has another cause. You are working on a functionality and have your template open in your IDE and the Thinkwise Workspace Listener is keeping you saved changes in sync. You deploy the current saves state and notice an error. You get back to your IDE to correct this, as the file is still opened, and now the file does not save as it is disconnected.Please keep the state of the document to what it is when leaving it to go to another document, so you continue with what you were doing there.

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Working on it!

In the Web GUI it was possible to use “Select all” and when activating a task it would ask if you wanted the records on the page or all records of all pages. Please add this also in the Universal and in addition make it work with the Multi Select XML parameter, as this popup did not seem to happen in that case.

Lookup control option for grid filterNew

Hello!I created this idea as result of this post: Basically, what we suggest is that there should be an option to specify the lookup control for grid filters, we received feedback from users about this and since that can be changed for form/tasks, will be nice to have it also in here.Regarding performance mentioned in the post, one solution can be to have the sort defined and then pick top 100 for example and if you don't have what you want there to still be able to type and search it.
