Add an option to highlight weekends in the background the schedulerNew

It’s not possible to give weekend days a background. That helps planners in their overview of there planning.It now can be done in CSS, but if you could add a simple option in the scheduler : Highlight weekend days eventual with the colornumberWhen this option is turned on, the css code is added to the css file when generating the application.Or is this too simple?

option to exclude archived branch/model from cleanupNew

We have a few models that we are not actively using (mostly proof of concept) but want to preserve.Currently if we archive branches they will be removed after an x amount of days.This idea suggests an option to exclude a branch from the cleanup.

Drag-and-drop sorting in menu for Open Documents & FavoritesNew

Hi everyone,I would like to propose a quality-of-life improvement: the ability to manually reorder menu items in Open Documents and Favorites using drag-and-drop.Why this helps: Better overview: Group related tabs and documents together based on your current task. Higher efficiency: Keep your most-used favorites at the very top for quick access. Cleaner workspace: Less time spent searching through static lists. It’s a small UX tweak that would make daily navigation in the Software Factory a lot smoother.Let me know what you think! Upvote if you agree.

Add validation for lookup column with rights but are not availableNew

When you have assigned rights to a column that has a lookup and later you change the lookup display column, the column becomes unavailable and effectively has no rights anymore. I made a validation to detect columns with lookups that have rights but are unavailable, please add this to the validation basemodel.--Lookup has rights, but is not availableselect rco.* from role_tab rt join role_col_overview rco on rco.model_id = rt.model_id and rco.branch_id = rt.branch_id and rco.role_id = rt.role_id and rco.tab_id = rt.tab_id where rt.model_id = @model_id and rt.branch_id = @branch_id and rt.select_granted = 1 -- own table has rights and rco.col_access_type in (0, 1) --0=edit, 1=read only, 3=hidden and rco.available = 0 and rco.look_up_source_tab_id is not null and rco.sf_type_of_col <> 3 -- meta hidden fieldWhat also could be considered is to automatically assign rights when changing a lookup display column that previously had rights.

Make Screentype (design) changes require an active "Save" actionNew

When moving components around of a screen type it now is saved immediately. Please change it how it was in the older versions where an active “Save” was required to confirm your changes.When you now move a component and the result if the placement has an unintended result, your screen type is now ruined. Since the order of how you move component can be quite important to not completely mess up the already setup specification in width/height, a mistake can happen quite easily.

Set hidden column to authorized on roleOpen

When a column is set to hidden and this column is not a PK, the column is often not supplied through Indicium. This is fine for most cases. However sometimes there are columns that should be hidden inside an application but should be available through Indicium. For example, an Interface ID column.Currently the only way to make this column available in Indicium is by setting the column to editable or read only and set it to hidden on grid, form and cardlist.I would like the option to enable a checkbox on role level that will make a hidden column authorized. This should result in the column being supplied through Indicium for this specific role.This way these kinds of columns can be made available to interfaces and remain hidden inside our application.

Log session action in Universal GUINew

Currently, in the IAM's session log for a user with GUI Type ‘Universal’ does not show any session actions.While there have been questions about it, I never found the idea, thus I created this one.For us this would be great to get an insight into which screens/tasks are being used (and which are not).

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).

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?
