Option to convert BIT to true Boolean for Web connector parameterNew

When using a BIT data type in your product and most likely that would have a Checkbox control, it will use a capital letter as a start when you use this value as an input for the web connector:Example:{"allow_fallback_to_email": True}This will not work as lower case is expected:{"allow_fallback_to_email": true}The work around is to have something in between to convert this to a string value and then use in the web connector. I find this solution a bit much for the intended goal.Opting for a feature that enables a BIT data type to be converted to a true Boolean. How or where to have this setting (or perhaps even default behaviour) I’ll leave to the developers of Thinkwise themselves.

Improve Model Insight to same level or better as Windows GUI's "Path Location"Working on it!

During development I regularly use the Windows GUI to find relevant information regarding screens, columns, parameters, etc. with the Alt + F1 combination (Path Location). 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.

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Completed

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.

Change to TCP - supportNew

It would be very helpful ifyou can always add info to a ticket, also when it is processing (e.g. when you want to add some info / inform to close ticket). Now you don't have this option (buttons are disabled) to assess a solution, there is only an option to add comment in case you don't accept. But when you accept, it might be useful to add info (got give extra feedback to TW)

Look-up dropdown - indication when there are more optionsOpen

When a look-up control is set to suggestion, the dropdown of the lookup only shows the first 8 results. But in fact there could be a lot more results. This is not clear to the user. Please add a visual indication for the user when there are more results. Preferably when clicking on the indication, it opens the lookup popup.

Increase performance by reducing queries for detailsNew

When you have a main subject with a detail page, I noticed the GUI executes the following query on each row selection in preparation for loading the detail (GUI & Indicium version 2026.1.15). SELECT t1.[REF-COL1], t1.[REF-COL2]FROM [MAIN-SUBJECT] t1WHERE t1.[PK1] = @p0 AND t1.[PK2] = @p1When you have 4 details, it executes 4 of these queries, even when the reference columns are the same. When this is executed on a table, the cost of this query is insignificant since it can always use the primary key index to retrieve exactly one record. But when the main subject is a view, this could be a different story depending on the view code. Could this behaviour be improved so it doesn’t have to access the main subject so many times? It seems that it should at least be possible to gather all reference columns for all references with one query at once. But it would be even better if it could use the data from when the main subject was loaded itself.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerNext release

As explained in Adding extra files to Universal GUI container | Thinkwise Community, the current Universal GUI container doesn’t support adding custom html files (like Screen components | Thinkwise Documentation or Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI | Thinkwise Community). This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount).

Make "Code difference" task always available for conflicts on Control Procedure with same nameOpen

Currently task “Code difference” has been disabled for Control Procedures with same name, same baseline, updated in both branches.As we have a lot of these situations it would be very helpful if we easily could compare both code-files and make decision.So please always enable the task in case the object-type and object-name is equal.

Show barcode keyboard buttonCompleted

We have deployed an application for use on a ZEBRA scanner device.The application functions smoothly and intuitively, with one exception.It is designed around barcode scanning, and in over 95% of cases, the process can be completed simply by scanning barcodes. 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?

Excluding quick filterNew

Could an excluding quick filter be made that works similar to the normal quick filter but instead of filtering on the selected value, it excludes the selected value?An example use case is when you go through a list and want to exclude each type that you have viewed until your list is empty. For example when going through the merge impact in the SF.

Layout Process Flow MonitorOpen

The new debug center looks great, but we would like to see some adjustments to the layout of the process flow monitor so that it can better assist us in resolving errors. Resolving issues in Process Flows is often very time-consuming. The process flow monitor we had in the Windows GUI wasn’t ideal either, but it still often allowed us to locate issues more effectively.We hope it is not to much effort to come to a layout more like this...Key focus points: Make the most efficient use of screen space wherever possible, assuming that nearly all developers have at least an HD display Indicators showing which actions were not successful Duration of actions in milliseconds, highlight slow ones Type of action with symbol Display associated database event(s) per action as well

Allow users to change their timezoneOpen

Currently as a user you can change several settings related to how you would like to use an application. Which setting you can set, is configured through IAM.I am missing 1 important setting in this. A setting to change the Timezone I’m using. Since all other settings related to your location (date format, language, number format) can be changed through this window, I would expect that the Timezone can also be changed from within this window.

Universal: Make combo value prefer exact matchWorking on it!

When pasting a value in a combo box, it selects the first value that partly matches the text. This is very annoying when you pasted the exact value that you want to enter. It forces you to manually scroll to the right record and select it or use the lookup window.If there is an exact match, it should prefer that over the first matching value.For example:

SF: Set a remark to role-rightsNew

I would like the possibility to add a small remark to role rights. My primary use case for this is setting a remark when a role has rights to all columns/tasks/etc. of a subject except one. For the one exemption I would like to be able to place a remark so all developers know that was a deliberate exemption and why.

Debug UniversalNew

I think I’m not the only one struggling a lot with the debugger of Universal. At least can you suppress the breakpoints in de database eventlog. This one generates 500 records per second and you have be really quick to trap the error if there’s one.And the WIN GUI was able to return the SQL error’s For example: Cannot insert the value NULL into column xxxThe universal GUI gives me a Unknown Error, the message cannot be found in the indicium log. How do I know what’s going wrong. In developer mode of the browser I can see the task is going wrong but also there, the text the windows GUI is returning on a proper manner cannot be found. You only get a diarree of unreadable code. Debugging is taking me seriously more time then with the WIN GUI, and it’s very frustrating.Please improve this ASAP

Feedback regarding the new ticket layout in TCPWorking on it!

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’.

Dynamically set custom display type of tasks in contextOpen

I think it would be nice if you could change whether a task is placed in the overflow or a primary action based on data of the row.There are a lot of tables with a large number of tasks. Being able to hide tasks in the context is good, but sometimes I don’t want to fully disable a task, just guide the user with tasks they are most likely to use and tasks that are seldomly used in certain states.

Better look-up when changing screen typeOpen

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:

Input length restriction for numeric/integer fields (similar to varchar behavior)Open

In a current customer project, the customer indicated an issue with how numeric and integer fields handle input length restrictions.At the moment, when a numeric or integer field is configured with a maximum of, for example, 6 digits, users are still able to enter more than 6 digits. This results in a validation error message such as: “Artikel nr heeft teveel cijfers”However, the customer expects the behavior to be consistent with varchar fields. For varchar fields (for example varchar(6)) users are prevented from entering more than 6 characters in the first place.Requested improvement:Align the behavior of numeric and integer fields with varchar fields, users are prevented from entering more digits than the configured maximum length, instead of receiving an error message afterward.

New unique constraint validationOpen

When you make an existing column in a table mandatory (and no default value is set), you get a very helpful validation warning you to setup the data migration for this column.When you create a unique index on an existing column (or set of columns), no validation will be shown.It would be nice to have a warning in the validations list to show the developer that this could lead to issues.
