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.

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?

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:

Improve Model Insight to same level or better as Windows GUI's "Path Location"Planned

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.

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.

Make the activated detail tab smarter when switching rows to support different variantsNew

Often there are situations where you want to show a different tab-variant as a detail tab based on a specific property of the selected row in the main grid. This is possible by making multiple references and let the context procedure only show the detail tab with the tab-variant based on the property value.When there are multiple detail tabs for the main subject, this has one major downside though: Normally the GUI remembers the activated detail tab when the user switches rows in the main grid. However when the context procedure switches the reference for a different tab-variant, it activates the first visible detail tab.This creates inconsequent behaviour for the user when switching rows in the main grid because sometimes it does keep the same detail tab activated and sometimes it doesn’t. From the user perspective, the different references to the same detail tab are the same thing.To improve the behaviour of cases when the activated detail tab becomes hidden by a context procedure, the GUI/Indicium should prefer activating the first visible detail tab of the same target table as the previous activated detail tab (before activating the first visible detail tab).An alternative (instead of checking if it is the same target table) could be that it activates the first visible detail tab with the same translation value.

Mandatory checkbox without asteriskCompleted

When a domain with datatype BIT and control checkbox is not mandatory, there are 3 options:empty (null) selected/active (0) deselected/inactive (1)When it is mandatory there are 2 options (0 & 1) but an asterisk is shown behind the options. For the user this looks like you have to select the active option. F.e. when you have to agree to an user policy it is obligated to check the checkbox. → We would like to have a mandatory checkbox without the asterisk so the user does not feel obligated to check the checkbox.

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

Drag & drop also with cardlist.Open

The backlog of the Universal GUI is really missing drag and drop from a cardlist. In a web-environment a card-list is quite often used (at least we do) and it is really a pity that apparently the drag-drop functionality will not be implemented for this component. I would really like to see drag-drop also from cardlist aside the grid and tree.

Process Flow arrange functionality back in SF UniversalOpen

Hi,It would be greate to bring the arrange functionality back to the process flow designer screen!Currently, I'm really struggling to get a clear format, that's partly due to how the lines originate from the output side, especially when using a loop or multiple lines. As a result, it starts making strange turns on its own in the design screen.Maybe you are already working on that, in which case I haven't said anything haha.

Centralized AI-Enrichment Repository in the Software FactoryOpen

SummaryAllow Thinkwise customers to share AI-enrichments they've created in their own Software Factory to a central, curated repository managed by Thinkwise — so that the entire customer community can discover, import, and benefit from enrichments written by others.The Problem TodayEach Thinkwise development-team develops AI-enrichments independently in their own Software Factory. There is no mechanism to share these enrichments with the broader Thinkwise community, which means:Customers reinvent the wheel building similar or identical enrichments. Valuable knowledge and innovation stays locked inside individual tenants. Smaller teams with fewer resources benefit less from AI capabilities compared to larger customers who invest more in development.The Proposed SolutionIntroduce a Shared AI-Enrichment Hub within the Software Factory, with the following flow:Create locally — A customer builds an AI-enrichment in their own Software Factory as they do today. Opt-in to share — The customer can choose to submit their enrichment to Thinkwise for inclusion in the central repository. Review & curate — Thinkwise reviews the submission for quality, safety, and relevance before publishing it. Distribute — Approved enrichments become available to all Thinkwise customers, who can browse, preview, and import them into their own Software Factory with one click.BenefitsFor customers sharing their enrichments:Recognition within the community as a contributor. Potential for Thinkwise to provide feedback and quality improvement. Contribution to an ecosystem they also benefit from.For customers consuming enrichments:Faster time-to-value — no need to build common enrichments from scratch. Access to high-quality, real-world enrichments built by experienced peers. Inspiration for building their own enrichments.For the Thinkwise ecosystem overall:Accelerates AI adoption across the entire customer base. Builds a vibrant, collaborative community around the platform. Thinkwise gains insight into how customers are using AI in practice, informing product direction.Possible Limitations & ConsiderationsGovernance & quality control Thinkwise would need a review process to ensure submitted enrichments meet quality, security, and privacy standards. Versioning and maintenance Enrichments may break or become outdated as Thinkwise evolves. A lifecycle policy is needed — who is responsible for maintaining a shared enrichment over time?Context dependency Many enrichments are highly tailored to a specific domain or data model. Generic enrichments will transfer well; niche ones may be less reusable and cause confusion if imported out of context.Discoverability As the repository grows, good tagging, categorization, and search functionality become critical. Without them, the repository risks becoming cluttered.Security & data privacy Customers must be sure that submitting an enrichment doesn't inadvertently expose proprietary data or business logic embedded in the enrichment's prompts or configuration.Suggested Scope for MVPA simple submission flow from the Software Factory to Thinkwise. A basic browsable gallery of approved enrichments, filterable by category or use case. One-click import into the customer's own Software Factory. Clear contributor attribution and a basic rating/feedback mechanism.
