Add support for using environment variables in process flow connectors.Completed

In an application, we want the end user to be able to make a selection of documents and download these files accordingly. We use a process flow to make this happen. When a user selects a couple of documents they should be copied to the download or document directory of the end user that executes the process flow. However the current process flow connectors do not support environment variables, like %userprofile%\Documents or %temp%. This would give us the opportunity to move files from a connected file share to the document folder of the end user. This would be a nice extension, since it creates a user friendly experience for the end user.

SF change the order of menu items under ProcessesCompleted

This is just a tiny wish but in my opinion it makes sense to change the order of the menu items under Processes. It should be in ascending order of importance: Processes Process flows Tasks Reports Custom screens In my opinion the process flows are what binds everything together, tasks and reports are mere tools that can be used to achieve specific tasks and custom screens are quite rare anyways.

Ability to set Extender settings dynamicallyCompleted

Currently some Extenders can be modelled in the SF (e.g. Maps and Resource scheduler). The resource_scheduler used to be a piece of custom code (DLL) in our case, but now we can use Extender modelling in the SF (after some serious help from Thinkwise). Thing is, the custom code provided us with a Month or Year schedule, doing so by setting (amoungst others) the "Minimum date" and "Maximum date" in the Extender. The latter is, as far as we know, not possible when using the Extender modelling. It is either hardcoded (so of no use) in the SF or leave it blank. It would be helpfull if in a project some settings to an Extenders properties could be done dynamically. And as soon as this becomes available a good piece of explanation or better examples would be great as well.

Add functionality to task copying task parameter.Completed

When copying a taskparameter in a project (SF) also copy the lookup information defined for that particular parameter. I'm now adding a new parameter to ten or more task and have to add all lookup settings to the new parameterfield to each new parameter for each individual task. The amount of time I could spend doing other things is significant.

Disable 'Mass update' button in GUI when there are no rows present in the subjectCompleted

One of the members from the project I work on noticed that the 'Update' button stays available even after the subject doesn't contain any rows. This doesn't break or harm anything; it's just that the button is available to push even though it won't do anything. The wish is: If there are no rows present in the subject, disable the 'Update' button automatically.

Link to documentation of the Software FactoryCompleted

Currently there's no link to the documentation of the Software Factory (SF) from inside the SF. Sometimes I want to look something up in the documentation and have to open my internet browser and navigate to it. Since I don't have it as shortcut link or bookmark, it can take sometime to find it. (For me) it would be handy if I could open the documentation from inside the Software Factory. For example from the 'Developer' tab. There is then a button I can press that will bring me to the documentation of the subject I'm working on. For example: Then the button brings me to: https://office.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/docs/sf/functionality.html

Themes - From 'Table'Completed

With the new 2019.1 release of the Software Factory, the Theme settings for tabs in the form has been renamed to 'Table' even though we still use 'Tabs' under the General settings. Shouldn't we use an uniform verb for this?

Fill the create cube task when executed from a subject.Completed

When in subjects, it's possible to create a cube. In the task that pops-up I need to select the table or view where I'd like to create a cube upon. Since I'm already in the table/view, I'd like it to be filled automatically in the task. Also, the task says 'Table', but a view is also possible. Perhaps 'Subject' would be a better translation.

Filter on dateTime fields using "between" when no time is entered.Completed

When a field is defined as datetime, the GUI expects a time when a user wants to filter on a date. This is logical from an applation point of view, but not from a users point of view. I.m.h.o. when a user filters on a datetime field, the GUI should use a "BETWEEN" sql statement and not an "=' (equal) statement. Lets take the example below. A users selects "Filter" and enters just a date (and leaves the time part of the datetime field empty). I would like the GUI to select the 3 rows with the date the user is looking for. If for one reason a user want to look for a row equal to the thousands of a second, than just enter the time as well.. In a similar manner the filter "Between" could work. If a users enters a from date of 01-01-2019 and a to date of 01-02-2019, leaving both time parts of the field empty, the GUI should filter for rows containing a datetime of "2019-01-01 00:00:00.000000" and "2019-01-02 23:59:59.999999" (depending on the precision of timestamps in the database used by the application).

Add order number to 'Available templates' in TSFCompleted

The subform 'Available templates' ordered by order number and the column order_no made visible would be helpful.

Version control with requirementsCompleted

It would be nice to fill in different priorities for the requirements in the SF. Currently you can select this release, next release or future release. But it does not give you the opportunity to select which release you would like the requirement to be added to the application. This makes it possible to do release planning using the requirements for projectmanagement and could be very usefull creating sprints.

Enable DB Storage for screen component 'Preview'Completed

Sometimes images are stored in a binary column in the database. At this moment it seems not possible to view these images with the preview component. Main reason for using the preview component is because its responsive behavior.

New Look-up control that combines the 'Suggestion contains' and 'Combo'Completed

For some of the fields in the application I work on it would be nice if I could use the best of both worlds ('Suggestion contains' and 'Combo'). So I want to be able to select a value from a Combo list but also be able to enter a string into the field which is contained in one or more of the items listed in the Look-up. Example: Field with look-up to city names: Amsterdam, Den Bosch, Groningen, Enschede, Apeldoorn and Utrecht. Then I can use the drop-down / Combo to select one of the cities. But I also would be able to put in 'sch' and find Den Bosch and Enschede and select one of them.

Show control procedure name while hovering functionality tabCompleted

When I have multiple functionality-tabs open, it would be helpful to have a popup of the selected CP name on mouse hover. More general, the name of the selected item could be shown for each tab.

Task to rename cube viewsCompleted

I'd like to rename cube views, but there is no task available to do so. Due to related cube view fields I can't do so manually.

Disallow all prefilters inside a group to be inactiveCompleted

In certain cases we combine different data subsets in one table and use excluding prefilters in a prefilter group to switch between the different subsets. For example one table contains both fiscal and calendar years and with excluding prefilters it's possible to switch between the two. However if the end-user disables both prefilters both year types show up in a list. This means that the data set in the list becomes too large leading to wrong sums in the aggregation bar among other things. I would therefor like to propose the option to make it mandatory to have a prefilter active inside a prefilter group. In practice this would mean it's impossible to deactivate a prefilter by simply clicking on it. A user would have to activate another prefilter to deactivate the previously activated one. This would prevent a data set in the list to be too large.

Add option 'Keep Translations' to rename tasksCompleted

Quite often during app development id's of objects* are changed by use of a rename task (Alt+R). In many cases the translation can remain the same. For this an option 'Keep Translations' would be helpful. * Tables, Columns, Tasks, Task Parameters, etc..

Add tasks 'Move Up', 'Move Down', 'Renumber' to 'Task Parameters'Completed

This three little tasks, same as available for table columns, will help developers when adding or modifying tasks.

Easier way to add tags to objectsCompleted

Currently the tag tab is only available within the full model object. It would be a whole lot easier, and faster, if these tag tabs were also available within the modellers such as: task (+parameters), report (+parameters), data model + subject modeller (tab and columns).

Code review for current version.Completed

If we perform code reviews, we do that per branch. We would therefore like to see only the reviews for changes that originated in the current branch.

Executing tasks in a transactionCompleted

It should be easier to execute tasks within a transaction, so that you do not have to set this up yourself.

Hiding notification panel automatically.Completed

Is it possible to make the panel (in which notifications are to be displayed) automatically hidden when there are no more notifications. This is annoying because every time when you get a message in the panel, the panel rises and takes up screen space. Then, you have to empty the panel first before you can hide it again. I'd like to be able to make the panel disappear immediately after emptying.

Graphic planning: provide days that are made grey by defaultCompleted

If you want to make certain days grey in a resource scheduler (for example the weekend), you have to write a view that provides these days for each resource. If you zoom out the schedule, this view contains a lot of records, which is bad for the performance. You should be able to provide days that are made grey (or another colour) by default.

Suggestion to improve 'between' filter condition.Completed

When you use the filter condition 'between' you must always enter both the min and max. If you leave one empty, you will receive an error message. It would be nice if the condition would then automatically be adjusted.
