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.

Prefill Control procedure when copying unit test.Completed

Currently, when a unit test is copied with the corresponding task, alle fields are prefilled, except for the control procedure. We would like to see this prefilled as well, with the control procedure configured on the unit test from which you are copying.

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).

Clear search in menu after selecting a menu itemCompleted

When searching a menu item the search value stays until you manually clear the field. Can we make this like the windows gui? Where after selecting an item from the menu the search bar is cleared, this would reduce the amount of clicks needed to continue your work. After clicking contacts:

Extend logging for all usersCompleted

Hi,For debugging purposes I would like to see all actions of all users in the database event log/indicium log. When Indicium is set to DEBUG logging, it still not shows all users / actions (if i'm correct!). If I log in myself, I will see some actions under my own user. but I don't see anything from other users. This makes it sometimes a bit difficult. Indicium log also displays the time queries take; that is also very useful. This is currently not a feature, but might be a nice to have! Blommetje

Setup localization settings as user preference in IAMCompleted

As discussed in: Influence numeric decimal separator display format | Thinkwise Community the current behaviour of the Universal GUI is that it takes the localization settings like decimal/thousand separator and date display formatting (as well as first day of week in the date picker) from the first preferred browser language.This is not ideal, because this way the localization settings are bound to a language while users might want to have English as their preferred language, but use their local localization settings. Therefor we would like a possibility to setup localization settings as user preference in IAM (not bound to the language setting in IAM).

SF and IAM dark modeCompleted

I really like the dark mode in Microsoft's Office products, SQL Management Studio, the Universal GUI and macOS. Since major software vendors are integrating a dark mode, and because it's easy on the eyes in certain environments, I'd like to be able to launch the Software Factory and IAM with a dark mode too.

Variable row height gridCompleted

It would be nice if the height of a row in the grid adjusts to the contents of specific columns, especially useful when wrapping text in multiline grid fields.

Use Subflows in regular Process Flows tooCompleted

Subflows are a great addition to the Platform in order to re-use parts of a Process Flow, instead of having to model the same set of Process Actions in multiple Process Flows. Subflows improve the re-usability of components, therefore we are eager to use this concept in regular Process Flows too!Can this functionality be extended to be available not only for System Flows, but also for regular Process Flows?

Support for PostgreSQL as RDBMS typeCompleted

The Thinkwise platform currently supports SQL Server, Oracle and DB2, three widely used RDBMS. According to Statista, they are indeed quite a popular choice and suited for large enterprise-level applications we make with Thinkwise.PostgreSQL (Postgres) is a open source RDBMS unlike the others, that there are no license fees, is highly extensible, and is used over all the world, even by major companies.I would love to see the interest by the Community for the Thinkwise platform to support PostgreSQL.

Web connection tag(s)Completed

A simple idea, but we’ve encountered a situation where a model tag for web connections could be useful.In our situation, we’ve defined tags in the description of the web connection endpoint and in the description of its input parameters. I can imagine that having tags available at all detail levels could also be useful in the future.

UGUI: Task/Report/Prefilter group sub menuCompleted

On subjects with many tasks, it is hard for the user to find the right task in the universal GUI. It is also impossible to show the tasks with name on the screen because it will never fit (and we don't want to put alsmost everything in the overflow menu).Adding a task group doesn’t really help since it only creates a splitter. Please add support for task-group sub menu to the universal GUI so that we can create a drop down with tasks. Example (this subject even has more tasks in the overflow menu and hidden by context):

Set control to combo when creating domain elementsCompleted

When creating a new column with domain elements you have to set the control to a type that can work with domain elements (like combo). If the control is not combo lookups using this domain won’t work properly in universal. However, why would you want to use domain elements without combo (or the other options like radio button and checkbox)? I would argue combo is the most used option. There is a validation for this, but I would opt to setting the value to combo by default, and the user can always deviate from this. To make the SF user friendlier and less complex. When you add a domain element and the control is empty set the control to combo instead.

Copy application should set "Sequence no" to max + 10Completed

When creating DEV/ACC applications in the IAM, it’s mainly a copy of already existing applications to have the authorizations already in place.As we usually have the (in our case the 2) ‘default application’ on the top, it would like to keep them at the top and newly added applications should always be on the bottom.Suggestion to do a MAX on the 'order_no’ and add 10 to it in the default when copying the application.

Collapse and expand grid rules with multiline fields in UniversalCompleted

When you have (html) text fields included in a grid, you will normally only see part of the (html) text field. It is very convenient for an end user when it is possible to switch between expanded and collapsed lines in the grid at the push of a button according to their own needs.Collapsed then gives the existing situation with a compact line per record in the grid.Unfolded shows the lines with the space needed per line to fully display the text field (or text fields if there are more) in a grid.In this case, a fixed line height does not need to be modelled.Simply folding and unfolding according to the end user's own needs is sufficient.

Find and reuse screen typeCompleted

If a model uses many screen types, it takes much more time to find an existing and applicable screen type for a new table than to create a new one. I can’t search for something like a screen with the list on the left, the form on the right, no tabs, with filters, and no tasks. This means that the number of screen types continues to grow, which negatively affects maintainability and the consistency of the user interface. It would help for example, if I could click through a list of designs/screen layouts.

Automatically open filter popup when using "Start Empty with Filter" (Universal)Completed

Within Thinkwise, when the “start empty with filter” option is enabled in the Subject menu, the Windows GUI shows an empty screen when opening the form and immediately displays a popup with filter options.I am currently working for a customer who would like this behavior as well. In the old application, it works exactly the same as in the Windows GUI.I would like this to work in the same way in Universal: opening the screen should immediately show the filter popup. If this is not possible, I would like to have a process flow action available that can open/activate the filter popup.
