Allow column sort by order in lookup tableCompleted

Current situation We have quite a few tables with sizes such as XS, S, M, L, XL etc. We now use a hidden sort column to sort these from smallest to largest size. When we want to apply this sort order in a new table we add the same hidden sort column by means of an expression so we can apply the same trick as in the lookup table. Issue This is somewhat cumbersome however and it also makes it impossible for users to do this manually since clicking on the header of the size column sorts these sizes alphabetically instead. Proposed solution I would like to see an option that when a user clicks on the column header the sizes are sorted according to the default sort option of the lookup table. This is quite similar to the default sort in a combo drop-down but instead applies to the column in a grid. I can imagine a drop-down in lookup options that allows to switch the grid sorting between "alphabetical" and "lookup table".

A domain setting to be able to sort by element translation or by database valueCompleted

The elements of a domain are always sorted in alphabetical order of the translation. If you want to sort based on the database value, you need to create an expression column (hidden and sorted). This will only work for the 'default sorting'. If you sort on the displayed column, it will still sort alphabetical. Another disadvantage of the work around is, that you need to specify an expression column for each table. Take for example a domain 'calendar_month' with elements: January (db-value=1), February (db-value=2) etc. It would be better to specify this once (domain).

Process action type sortingCompleted

Selecting / searching for a "process action type" is a drop-down field. The sorting of the values (English) leaves much to be desired. Is there a way to get them sorted Alphabetically? Or instead of a dropbox the presence of a popup with perhaps some extra information / helptext.

Prefilter to hide Validations that have no result ((?) Icon)Completed

Currently I have defined a user preference Prefilter to hide these Validations from the list to prevent a long list of unchecked validations. Can we make this Prefilter standard available?

relations between tasks in resource schedulerCompleted

In the activity scheduler it is possible to show relations between the tasks, in the resource scheduler this is not yet possible (the extender properties are included though).I have a situation where multiple tasks have to be performed by multiple resources, and it can be difficult to distinguish which tasks belong together.It would be great to be able to show the dependencies of tasks, possibly the same way the activity scheduler does.

New Scheduler View TranslationCompleted

Hi, We would like to be able to translate the following fields/tooltip in the newly implemented scheduler views. As far as I know it's not a GUI object that we can manipulate.  It would be cool if the translation could take account of the application language setting as well.  Thanks!

Tab page icon saved in databaseCompleted

The tab page icon appears to be the only image not yet saved in the model database. It would be nice if this could still be realized in the next version.

Show source for generated objectsCompleted

Sometimes you want to makes changes to generated objects, for example the code of a generated control procedure or validation. You can't see from which source these objects are generated. This can be from the dynamic model in the project version you are working in, or from a linked base project. How ideal would it be if you could see in one instance from what source a generated object like this originates. This way you can directly make your adjustments in the Software Factory, without having to query on the database in which projects the generated field for this object is empty.

Overview of requirements containing an open 'discussion'Completed

When you are working on the requirements, there is a tab to put in discussion points regarding this requirement. It is however very hard to find out what requirements still have an open discussion item on them. Can we have an overview list of the requirements that contain a discussion, so it is easier to find and respond to these items?

Possibility to add relationship between work itemsCompleted

At the moment it is not possible to link work items by a relationship. These relationships would make planning iterations easier and would add to maintaining overview of work items. Possible relationships could be: blocks * clones duplicates split caused by relates to * solves Relationships with an * would have the highest priority for us.

Enable screen for task/report parametersCompleted

Currently there is no tab available which allows you to see all task and report parameters in a single grid. Sometimes you have to change name which is being used throughout your entire model. This means the change will also have to be implemented in all the tasks and reports. In that case you would to filter on all task and report parameters of this name. This is currently not possible and if made possible, will be of great help.Is it possible to enable the detail tabs task parameters and report parameters within the full model screen?

Possibility to add estimation to work itemsCompleted

Like us, most companies will use estimations when working on work items. For instance, when refining during a Scrum meeting. Estimations are an integral part of Scrum and form the basis for keeping control of the project. Currently it is not possible to effectively add estimations to work items. We mostly work with hours as estimation based on the Fibonacci sequence, but other systems are used in other companies (t-shirt sizes etc.).

Rich text editing in work item descriptionCompleted

We'd like to have rich text editing capabilities on the Description field of Work items. Right now we feel we have insufficient possibilities to style work items in a way that make them more readable for other users (and for the author). I know the field can be enlarged using the magnifying glass icon, but that only makes the field larger.

Visual warning that a new Task look-up will create a new task parameterCompleted

When you create a new reference on data model the column will become green giving you an indicator that a new column will be created, besides the tick box.   I would also like this indicator when creating a new task look-up in tasks. So my wish is to colour the task parameter green if it will be created. This way it will work the same as in data model and make the UI more intuitive.

Assign task to double click action on row in gridCompleted

I would like to execute a task when a row in the grid is double clicked. We have implemented a sort of wizzard functionality. The user is presented a grid where the user select a row and must click the ‘next’ button to see the rows for the selected parent: This wizzard has 6 levels to complete the selection. The selection process would be easier and more intuitive if the user can double click the row and the task ‘next’ is executed.

Validation - 'Screen type is not used' needs to exclude used screen types with breakpointsCompleted

One of the default validations of the Software Factory is to check if some objects of the model are no longer in use. This includes the screen types. With the introduction of the Universal GUI and Breakpoints this validation needs to be updated because the screen types with specific breakpoints are never in use, but instead chosen based on screen type of the subject and the resolution of the screen in use. This results in a big lists of screen types ‘not in use’ which is clearly not the case because they are variations of screen types which are in use.

Enable prefilter screenCompleted

Currently prefilters can only be accessed throughout a table. I would to be able to see all prefilters within a grid and be able to change them throughout this screen. Having this will enable me to check all prefilters queries at once, or edit them with mass update. Can the tab prefilters be enabled within the full model screen?

Backward traceability from model to requirementCompleted

When using process analysis and design specifications it is possible to see the model modifications per design specification paragraph. This comes in handy when you'd like to see what has been done to realise a design specification or requirement, like forward traceability. I'd like to see backward traceability as well. So when I see an object in the Software Factory, I can see why this has been created.

Add knowledge base of general code templates to Thinkwise CommunityCompleted

It would be nice to have a knowledge base of general code templates in the Thinkwise Community where developers can share their solutions for general development challenges. This will increase productivity and the exchange of knowledge between Thinkwise developers. You could think of default procedures or triggers for a date field or e-mail address. Or a dynamic procedure to add trace fields to a table.

Show failed task call in debug windowCompleted

In the debug window of the gui failed task (or other processes) executions are not showed. In the case of a failed execution it is interesting to see the parameter values of the task. Therefore this task call should be mentioned in the list. The icon could show that the call was not successful.

Mandatory radio buttonCompleted

Recently we realised that radio buttons are not actually mandatory (you can click the selected value to make it null). I understand this can be a nice feature on nullable fields, but our fields are actually set to mandatory and therefore should not be able to be set to null. In order to work around this we are now creating extra code (defaults), while what we want is actually modelled already.. So what we want is that when a field is set to mandatory, the radio button applied to it should not be allowed to be set to null

More logical sort order when using the 'Copy Column' task in the Data Model / Table screenCompleted

The sorting order currently maintained is not how you would like it. The first column which is copied should get 10, the second 20, etc..

Fill trunk code history in branches and reverseCompleted

Currently code history will not be filled with trunk code history by creating a branch. It would be nice if this was possible. This way you can easily do a WinMerge between versions. For example in picture 2 I cannot easily do a WinMerge between 1.11 (trunk) and 1.20 (branch).While checking the code history detail, I found out that the detail only shows data of the selected (version selector) project_id. So maybe that is the reason why you cannot see this data in that screen. A possible solution is to copy the last trunk code history record as version 1.00 of the branch while creating the branch.I also found out that trunk code history will not be filled with branch code history after the merge. This is even easier to fix, because you already know to which trunk version you are going to merge. So you can fill originated in project with the trunk project_id and originated in version with the version that is going to arise after merging to trunk. Picture 1  Picture 2
