Refresh model button in Universal GUICompleted

Can a ‘Refresh Model’ function be added to the Universal GUI?During development, when Universal is running over SF, it cost a lot of time to log-off an log-on every time.

Messages with soundCompleted

For applications where the user isn't always looking at the screen for visual confirmation it would be nice to have a way for them to be alerted to what's happening there. For instance, when user hand scanners in the Windows GUI I have no way to alert the user that their scan has failed except for interrupting the whole process to show them a blocking message.It would be great if I could use a (hidden) message to inform then of (un)succesful actions, where the message would play a sound from a file that's designated in the message.

Extend detail tiles with tasks and reportsCompleted

It is possible to add tasks and reports to the tiles menu. Unfortunately it is not possible to show tasks and reports in the detail tiles. Maybe a screen component property could be used to be able to enable/disable tasks and reports.

Show weeknumbers and month within Resource SchedulerCompleted

When setting the resource scheduler at “Days” I have an overview of the weeknumbers with dates. But when horizontal scrolling our Users loose the overview of the Month. IDEA: Insert name of Month within the week column. When 2 months within the same week you can show them both: like: “2022 - 17 (apr - may)”

Universal Resource Scheduler - zoom levelCompleted

Hi, Currently the Universal Scheduler can only display per day or week. It would be great if there was an extra zoom level. I want to set tasks for a day. So, a morning task, and an afternoon task for instance. In the currently layout, this will just be stacked per day; 2 jobs on the 5th.However, I want something like: Outlook sample -   Can this be considered?

Resource Scheduler - Hour-level timescaleCompleted

We use the Resource Scheduler in the Universal GUI to plan our Vessel fleet. For Operational purposes we need to be able to plan and display multiple Activities within a Day. Therefore we need an Hour-level timescale and the Resource Scheduler to place Activities after each other when Activity 1 datetime end is before Activity 2 datetime start. Currently they are stacked when the Day matches, even if the Time is not overlapping.Can this functionality be added to the Resource Scheduler please?This doesn't work for us

Open link in new window as taskCompleted

We were facing a similar issue as one that was posted here as question, and since I think it is a good idea and I can't find the idea suggested in the thread I am posting one. Case:We would like to integrate with a payment provider so the customers can directly pay whatever they have bought. This typically comes with a link to the payment provider that needs to open in a separate window while the application can wait until it is ready. At some point in the process flow a task is raised that states “next you're going to pay x amount of money” then the user has 2 options: yes or no. The yes should open the link provided in a new window. Whilst the no just cancels the task. (naming could of course be different)Once the page is opened and the user returns to the Thinkwise application the process must be able to continue where we ‘left’.TL;DR:It would be awesome to have a task that can open a link and either just open and done, await the user to return or have a callback like with payments.   This is probably mainly interesting for any web based UI.

Add "close all open documents" to process flow action typeCompleted

We have a multitenant web application. In this application there is an option for our support employees to assist the customer. We do this by injecting the support employee user into the customer by a Task.When the support employee makes a switch to another customer they must close all open subjects. For this i like to have an option in the process flow actions to close all open subjects.

Scheduler Extender Refresh DataCompleted

It was suggested to me that I should make an idea of this in this topic, so here goes: Currently you have to manually press F5 to see any changes made to a certain appointment/task. For example when a status change occurs the color of the appointment/task bar changes. Stuff like that. Is it possible to refresh the data (appointments/tasks) in the Resource Scheduler in a given interval? Just like the auto-refresh in subjects, but specifically for the scheduler. Using the auto-refresh in subjects in this situation isn't an option because it refreshes the whole document instead of the scheduler itself. I haven't found anything in the scheduler extender, but after a little search I've come across this in the devexpress documentation:https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/DevExpress.XtraScheduler.SchedulerControl.RefreshDataThat sounds promising, but it's currently not enabled I don't think.Thanks

Synchronize IAM with different DB CredentialsCompleted

In current version of TSF it is seems not to be possible to synchronize from TSF to IAM when the target DB credentials differ from the TSF Webservice credentials.Because of this, in case the credentials cannot be made equal creating a deployment package seems to be the only way to sync IAM, which is not desirable, because this is to much complicated. Especially in case of a making small changes, like a little adjustment in a roles, this cost to much time.I would expect a possibility to enter credentials before starting the sync process or save the credentials (securely) in the IAM Configuration. Or, have I missed something and is there already an easier way?

Code review items per templateCompleted

Currently the ‘Code reviews’ screen shows code reviews per control procedure. Templates within a control procedure can be changed by different developers. We would like to see every control procedure template as an individual code review item. This would allow a reviewer to approve or disapprove a single template. This will also allow you to see at a glance which templates must be reviewed without having to look in the tabpage 'Changes’.

Select a default project versionCompleted

When the sequence number of the runtime configuration isn’t filled and the project version isn’t defined during the development, the ‘last’ project version should be selected instead of the oldest (change the order of the project version).

On copying a table/view add a Checklist of what to copyCompleted

When copying a table or a view a lot of things are copied with it, some wanted some unwanted. When copying a view the old template is assigned to the new view, in most cases I do not want this to happen. Same goes for tasks, when copying a table more often than not I do not want the tasks assigned to the new table.  To make the copying more user friendly (and to give some insight of what it is actually copying) i would like a checklist with objects it is going to copy with the option to deactivate some. This way I would know copying a view also copies the tasks, table parameters, assign the template and copy the filters.

Undo approval of a control procedureCompleted

From the screen ‘Code reviews’ it’s possible to approve and disapprove control procedures. When we accidentally set a control procedure ‘Approved’ there’s no way to undo it because the ‘Approve’ and ‘Disapprove’ tasks are disabled. It would be a nice feature to be able to ‘Disapprove’ an already approved control procedure.

Process action output - labels above fieldsCompleted

In the processflow action edit row we have two columns. Which is different from most process actions.As a reminder for the developer i would like to see a little name or indication which tells me which column is which.  I think this is simply achievable by putting a group name above the columns with old and new values, or something like that.process action: edit row

Show more information during 'Generate source code' stepCompleted

However the source code generation step has never failed me, I sometimes wonder if it is doing something. I’d like to have a more verbose output of what it is actually doing and at what step the generation process is.Currently we only see this and just have to wait:It would be nice if we are able to see the smaller steps that are happening inside a specific step. The advantage is two-fold. It keeps you up to date and makes it visible if there are any steps that are running slowly.

Dealing with templates within code reviewCompleted

By setting a different background color for templates that are in a certain state it will make it easier to focus only on those templates that need it.For instance think about templates that need some fixing, have or haven't changed since last review, have been reviewed and wait response of developer, alongside prefilters to make you focus on one or the other.This not only within the Review code section, but also within the Functionality (Control procedure and templates).

if exists Alter procedure on functionality executeCompleted

During development (especially during the user test) you sometimes have to make quick changes to functionality. However executing the code from the functionality - result screen will do a drop and create, messing up any rights set to the procedure. It would be very helpful if instead the code did a if exists alter , if not exists create. Since this is probably not wanted since some people use the result screen to edit their code I would also be happy if there was a second button (generate as alter procedure). This way any rights set to the object will remain intact. This would save a lot of time during user tests and would decrease the change of errors due to overwriting the current procedure.

Formalize translator role in SF suiteCompleted

Importing/adding translations and validating translations are tasks that are sometimes attributed to specific persons in the project team that are not developers. This is especially likely to happen when a high number of languages and/or more exotic languages are to be supported.To better support this scenario a formalized translator user group (and underlying roles) in the Software Factory would be beneficial. Users that are part of such a group should have access to the “Translations” menu item and the tasks to generate and translate translation objects and the possibility to import/export translations without having the possibility to change the data-/gui model and functionality.

Improvement SF validation "Domain is not in use"Completed

The SF came up with the validation message "Domain is not used". After deleting the domain I found out that some functionalities were giving an error message because the domain was using in a declare.  To have the validation perform a code search on the domain name is probably very difficult (because a domain name in a code template can be anything) but feel free to make it so if possible. I would at least suggest that the validation Description, Consequence or Solution text be expanded to alert a developer that performing a code search on this domain name is a required action before deleting the domain. The developer can then determine to keep the domain or to replace the declared domain with another domain or data type.

Unit tests with @error_msgCompleted

Unit tests are great way to test API's however, our API's have the declared parameter @error_msg. Because this is the same parameter as declared in the unit test code all of our API's get the same failed message for their unit test: This is probably a more common problem, because @error_msg is a widely used parameter. Can this parameter be changed to a more uncommon one, specific for unit testing probably?

Include upgrade scripts assigned to version when between upgrade from/to versionCompleted

At this moment, when you upgrade an accept environment from version 1.61 to 1.66 for example, upgrade scripts that are linked to a specific version between version 1.61 and 1.66 are not included. I think the upgrade scripts that are linked to version 1.64 for example, should be included in the upgrade from 1.61 to 1.66 as well. This could be accomplished by assigining the control procedure to after_upgrade_always, but this means that you need to unassign the control procedure after the upgrade, especially when you are using the control procedure template to migrate/convert data from the old structure to a new structure for example.This is also not the ideal situation when you’re reaching for automatic deployment with an azure pipeline for example.
