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

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.

Would be great if the model insight could also provide information in columns which are not in edit mode. 

The information that Model Insights gives could be extended, but it what I think would really help the productivity, is to convert the field values in Model Insights into hyper- / deep links that takes you directly to the regarding topic in the software factory when the end application is running via SF. The topic should be opened as Floating/Modal document and with an option to to refresh the model when the document is closed.

Wow Harm, that's a really cool suggestion 😄
