While developing an application we encountered the problem that the Universal GUI would not start because there was no menu linked to the platform of type 'Universal'.

I see some possible improvements, to eliminate this problem:

  1. Always start the Universal GUI, but show a message if a menu cannot be displayed
     
  2. Activate all menus in case no menu is specifically assigned to the Universal platform
     
  3. Add a 'Platform' item to the default menu in SF, where all specific settings per platform can be seen. At the moment, linking a menu to a platform is a bit complicated
     
  4. A new validation rule

    A new validation rule

    The idea is to introduce a new validation that notifies the developer when no menu is assigned to/available in the model for the Universal platform.

    Hi Harm,

    In the Software Factory, an error severity validation does exist named val_menu_empty and explains that the Menu is not present. Point 4 of your Idea is implemented already,

    Point 1 has been implemented since the Universal GUI version 2024.2.13: 

    Point 2 we will not be implementing due to security, Point 3 is not something we are willing to change. Whilst we now have multiple platforms, in the coming years, only Universal will be available and that will then be the only platform until the next platform rolls around.

    The idea is completed.
