Change to TCP - supportCompleted

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)

Some improvements on visibility of open documentsCompleted

In the universal GUI opening (a lot of) documents can make the navigation panel cluttered and even push the menu out of sight: Some suggestions to improve this: Split the navigation panel in two panels with seperate vertical scroll-bars as soon as the number of open documents exceeds a certain treshold Add levels for detail-documents beneath open documents and collaps them the same as the menu tree with (automatic) collapsing and expanding Add context (part of the breadcrumb) to the title or mouse-over of detail-documents to prevent having to open a document to see wich one is the right one Another suggestion: An option to lock an open document, so that it is available the next time I login to the application

Universal: Make combo value prefer exact matchCompleted

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:

Disable any development in Finalized branchesCompleted

When a finished branch gets merged to it's origin (non-reciprocal). It becomes finalized and, depending on selection, archived. Further merging into and from this branch is thereafter no longer possible. Yet, active development is still possible in a finalized branch (even after unarchiving). Wouldn't it make sense to completely lock development in a finalized branch as well? I have experienced a scenario where an unsuspecting developer was actively developing in a finalized branch (without knowing it was a finalized branch) and then find out way too late all of his work is for naught.

Give the developer more information when deleting a row in the Software FactoryCompleted

When deleting a row in the Software Factory, it currently shows the generic message:Usually you can see the selected row in the background, however, I’d like bit more assurance when deleting things in the Software Factory. It would be great if it showed for example (when deleting):Functionality: Are you sure you want to delete {control_proc_id} Branch: Are you sure you want to delete {branch_id} etc.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerCompleted

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).

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.

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?

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.

Simplify use of Refresh Model task during developmentCompleted

During development, the "Refresh Model" task may be called hundreds of times per day.It might be an idea to move the task to the header bar or assign a Shortkey to the task.And at the same time ignore all warnings, because they do not matter during development. This will definitely save a lot of time during development.

Ability to define Reports with report type: None (dummy report)Completed

Just like with tasks, I would like to create and use dummy reports. The reason for this is so the icons in the application are better ordered. Tasks are with other tasks and reports with other reports.Left Tasks - Right ReportsThe reason we need a dummy report is to start a process flow. The process flow then activates a task that will insert a row in a sort of Queue table. This queue table will limit the selection of rows that DevExpress will use to make it's report; thus making the process a lot faster.So this task need to be run before opening the report. But the task cannot be the starting point for the process flow and therefor we need to use a dummy report.

SF Model support to hide Refresh Action buttonCompleted

We are trying to make a complicated Calculation screen work properly and smoothly in the Universal GUI. One of the challenges is to have users click the right buttons, and the easiest way to support that is hiding buttons they shouldn't click. In below example we have 3 Refresh buttons, and we wish to hide 2 of them. A refresh on the higher level will also trigger the refresh of the detail tabs and using the Change Detection logic users don't have to trigger refreshes themselves. In the Software Factory we can specify this for every Action button, except for the Refresh button. Can this functionality please be added?This seems to me like a straightforward and logical addition to the Subjects > Performance tab (Buttons configurable in layout)Now we have to revert to a bit of custom CSS to hide this specific button.

Adaptive field names in a formlistCompleted

Hi,Currently I am setting up a dynamic form using the formlist screen type.So far I have been able to recreate the formlist similar as shown in the documentation. Displaying two columns, one as a label (using the domain control type label) and the other column containing a value. However, I would like to display the formlist similar as how a regular form is displayed. Meaning with a field name that is inside the field, instead of a label that hovers above the field.Is there anyway in which this is possible? My eventual goal is to use this formlist together with a regular form (one being a detail reference) on the same screen. So it would be most ideal if the layout of these forms can match.

Add prefilters and tasks to the default screen type.Completed

When creating a new subject the default screen type assigned (master detail) does not contain the most frequent used components, namely tasks and prefilters. More often then not this results in having to choose a different screen type. If you have no prefilters/tasks the component is not shown so there is no harm done in adding these components. My suggested fix: add a new default screen type master detail with preftilters and tasks. Have this as default for any new subject instead. This will keep current screens using master detail in tact but will improve the user friendliness.

Enable Multi-Model Tab Management in the Software Factory UniversalCompleted

Currently, the Software Factory (SF) maintains the selected model/branch at a global session level within the browser. When a developer needs to work on or reference multiple models, they have to manually switch models. Switching models automatically closes all currently open tabs and windows within the SF, and I think that is logically but It is impossible to keep two different models open in separate browser tabs or windows to compare configurations. And yes, I know this is possible with another browser or an incognito, but I think there is a more convenient way.So it would be helpfull if it it possible to allowing developers to open multiple models or branches simultaneously in different browser tabs.

Make Launch Application also perform a refresh modelCompleted

The launch application option in 2026.1 does not do a full refresh model.I’m not sure what it does exactly but it seems to load the menu and screen but not the new data model. I would opt to always perform a full refresh model when using launch application. Since you want to see the application in it’s current state, not in some half cached state.

Make expression field editable in SFCompleted

I have a view with 3 fields that can be automatically filled (default proc) when selecting one value from a view having all three values concatenated.This makes finding things a lot easier for the user. The field is only defined in the view and nothing is stored in the database…. A similar situation now exists in a table. There is currently no need for a view instead of this table, so an expression field could be the solution here. Expression fields in the SF however are by definition read-only.  So why not have the developer deside whether an expression field is read-only or not; most of us are wise enough to know what we're doing. To show what I mean, see link below… I made an expression field editable using SQL on the SF database, and you;ll see what I want to achieve. Works fine according to me. https://mcmurdock.stackstorage.com/s/4pGhtJXw03Y9EH8

Make "Close document" a possible starting point in a process flowCompleted

We use a lot of Modal document form in our application, which works great. There are however some situation where a process flow end with the opened document. After a user is done with the required actions we sometimes desire to take care of certain actions after or triggered by a closing of the document.Unfortunately this Action does not count as a starting point.A workaround for now is using a task in the screen that follows with a “Close document”, but the user often misses that. The “CLOSE’ button takes so much focus, that such a task would be missed. Also if the screen already has many tasks, it would not stand out that much anyway even when marked as primary. The idea is to make “Close document” a starting action in a process flow.The idea of course goes with a warning that the “Close” is always available on such a document, that one should be aware it could be pressed without actively having done anything in the screen and uses it as a cancel, but I think this should be the responsibility of the developer using such flows.

Make IAM great again: redesign screens to use less detailsCompleted

Now that customer success is the focus. Can we also put some love and care into IAM? A lot of the screens are loaded with detail upon detail upon detail. Here is a small snippet of one of these monstrosities. Working on a laptop screen using Iam is next to impossible. Using less details and maybe aggregate some information into 1 view instead of a lot of details would greatly benefit the useability. Or add AI so I can ask IAM if a certain user has access to a certain menu sub item.

Scheduler: Extend date chooser / Go to Prev/next activityCompleted

The sliding scale selector is nice,, but I would like it to have a popup to go to a more distant date more quickly. Or even some smart buttons here to go the previous / next event…   Scheduler always starts on current date, and I would definitely prefer if the system does that only when there is no activity planned yet..  in all other cases it should go the first activity planned.

Scheduler: Bounded Plan Frame and show planner dateCompleted

The current scheduler always start on the current time. This is unwanted. I want to be able to programmatically set the start date. There are a few ideas around this concept:Overrule start-view with custom date.  Bound the plan-scale with start / end-date  (for example when you plan an event) Hide non functional days/hours (holidays, weekends or other defined dates.. and hours that cannot be planned…  )

Working days & working hours Universal schedulerCompleted

For a customer I have created a scheduler in Universal. However, the customer indicates that she would like to set working days and working hours. This means that in certain scheduler views some end users have to scroll a lot to see the desired results. In the Windows scheduler it is possible to set working days and working hours. Could this setting also be applied to the Universal scheduler? This would be an additional reason for the customer to switch to Universal (earlier).
