Propose your fantastic ideas regarding the Thinkwise Platform to our Product Team.
Since Universal GUI 2025.2.13 (rc1) fields with ‘Look-up has popup’ will become clickable in the (non-edit-mode) grid to open the lookup. This is a great feature, however not in all cases is this desirable.There can be multiple reasons to use a lookup popup in edit mode to help the user find the right record, but this doesn’t mean that it always adds value to open the lookup in non-edit-mode. Having many lookup fields in a grid can make the grid feel troubled and I also can imagine it could conflict with setting up a double click task on lookup column.So please make it configurable for (non-edit-mode) grids which look-up field are clickable (to differentiate from the edit-mode). For example under Subjects > Components > Grid.
It would be a good idea to validate at the moment you add Elements to a domain, that the length of the domain is sufficient to store the element database value.For example:Domain will be added with data type VARCHAR, length 5.Element with database value "TestValue” will be added.The system alerts the developer that it’s not possible to add this value as it would not fit within the domain setting of max. 5 characters.This would avoid frustration at testing when the developer notices that it’s inpossible to store the full database value "TestValue”.
Currently it’s only possible to add a theme to a “User” or a “User Group”.In our situation we have a theme for an application and platform.As we also have a lot of user groups it's quite a lot of work assigning the same theme to all user groups on all platforms (for our full DTAP we also have 4 IAM’s)So please make it possible to assign a theme on application level also add the possibility to differentiate on platform and set a default menu.Functionality can be placed as a detail tab under “General settings” at the application in IAM
When using “Change Filter” in a process flow it always reverts to “Equals”, it would be more useful if the filter condition could be changed, to “Contains” for instance.Also, the Docs article on the subject contradicts itself on this matter:Filter values on columns of a specific subject can be set with this process action. It can be indicated for each column which filter condition and which filter value must be used.However: The filter value that must be set on the column in question as an equal to filter condition. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.
At this moment Excel style filters are not available on all columns. Using the normal filter is an option, but takes much more time for the user to set. Please make this available ASAP (MoSCoW - should) Also for other type of fields (not checkbox, date)Priority order: checkbox, combo box, date, other
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.
I would like so see support in the Universal for popup sizing.Minimal width of the popup Maximum width of the popup (now it sizes to the full with of the page, word-wrap should kick in earlier based on a setting) When you have multiple columns, relative occupation could be set (% per column, to a total of 100%)
A number of my clients have asked me if it is possible to make the size of the pop-up screens bigger. I understand that this is not yet the case. So now they must click on the https://maximize button. It would be nice to have the possibility to size the pop-up screen in the SF.
Details of a plan are not every user friendly to see, would be great if we could click on a resource group and see a day calendar view for a day.. Where you have a better overview on the data.
In the Universal GUI grid the selected row, and the selected rows in multi-row selection, have different shades. Sometimes it's hard to tell which rows are selected. Currently these colors cannot be changed.It would be nice if this was configurable in the Software Factory.
When you double click on a pivot grid cell, you get a popup grid zoomed in on the aggregated rows.This popup grid cannot be controlled by the developer (except for hiding fields). We would like the possibility to setup this grid like every other grid, thus specify screentype, add tasks, add details, etc.Basically the popup grid should use the grid as specified in the subject (variant) that is used for the pivot grid.
When creating DEV/ACC applications in the IAM, it’s mainly a copy of already existing applications to have the authorizations already in place.As we usually have the (in our case the 2) ‘default application’ on the top, it would like to keep them at the top and newly added applications should always be on the bottom.Suggestion to do a MAX on the 'order_no’ and add 10 to it in the default when copying the application.
Currently when working in the development environment or test environment the list of models/application can become quite large. It would be of great help if some sort of filtering option would be available in this list.For example, to be able to filter in the specific feature branch you are working in.
We use this screen setup for quite some occasions: a list with details behind it, with each detail having a small list on the left side so the user could easily switch between rows while staying on the detail screen (the same setup is used for ‘Subjects’ in the SF). But there are two limitations that we would like to overcome:-It is not possible to use a different table variant for the small list on the left side (deviated from the main list). While for example we want hide certain fields in the small list and specify certain tasks only on a the main grid and some tasks on both. The only thing that can be changed is the action bar, but that means the small list shows all tasks or none.-It needs an own screen type per table in order to name/icon the detail tab pages (which are actually component tab pages) like the the detail. This also requires manually maintenance when a translation is changed.
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).
Instead of a flag for multiple running instances, I would like to set a maximum number of running instances to prevent an overload. Currently, we have to create our own solution, even though IAM has all the necessary information (see Is it possible to limit the number of multiple running instances for a system flow? | Thinkwise Community).
When creating a new cube, there is an enrichment that copies translations from columns to cube fields. However when you add cube fields later, you need to manually insert the cube field translation.When a new translation object for a cube field is generated, could it always take the column translation as a default value please?
How would you like the idea to have a lookup icon on the grid when you are in read only mode?Currently we can see the lookup icon only in Edit mode: Why not have it also when we are in plain view read only mode similar to the FORM.It could be controlled via CSS to hide and make it visible on Hover or hide all together.
I have views/tables that have data from a related table. I would like the GUI to always show the popup button in the grid (when modelled this way) regardless if the field is read-only, in read-mode or edit-mode. Now it only shows in edit-mode. In windows you have a shortcut and the right mouse to show the popup.. in Universal there is not equivalent.
The Thinkwise platform currently supports SQL Server, Oracle and DB2, three widely used RDBMS. According to Statista, they are indeed quite a popular choice and suited for large enterprise-level applications we make with Thinkwise.PostgreSQL (Postgres) is a open source RDBMS unlike the others, that there are no license fees, is highly extensible, and is used over all the world, even by major companies.I would love to see the interest by the Community for the Thinkwise platform to support PostgreSQL.
When you have (html) text fields included in a grid, you will normally only see part of the (html) text field. It is very convenient for an end user when it is possible to switch between expanded and collapsed lines in the grid at the push of a button according to their own needs.Collapsed then gives the existing situation with a compact line per record in the grid.Unfolded shows the lines with the space needed per line to fully display the text field (or text fields if there are more) in a grid.In this case, a fixed line height does not need to be modelled.Simply folding and unfolding according to the end user's own needs is sufficient.
Subflows are a great addition to the Platform in order to re-use parts of a Process Flow, instead of having to model the same set of Process Actions in multiple Process Flows. Subflows improve the re-usability of components, therefore we are eager to use this concept in regular Process Flows too!Can this functionality be extended to be available not only for System Flows, but also for regular Process Flows?
I would like to be able to assign a task/report/prefilter to a bar, like we assign details to a detailgroup. I want to be able to show other objects in the bar above the grid, than the objects on the form or even in the ribbon.In case we use 2 bars in the same screentype you get all the objects in both bars (see Any ideas/tricks to running tasks from different parts of the same screen?). It would be easier to assign the objects to the bar.
Hi all, I switch branches quite often, but usually I work in a development branch. So, when switching branches to “DEVELOP”, I tick the “Remember selected branch” box, which then stays active the next time I switch branch to “RELEASE”, for example. For my workflow, it would be nice if the ticked-state of the box was a property of the branch instead of a property of the popup, ie, when I set the combo box to “RELEASE”, the SF remembers that I don’t want to remember that branch and the default turns off the box. The overall effect is quite small, but it would make working with switching branches that little more intuitive in my view.
