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.

IAM: Add user to slow query logCompleted

Could the user who triggered the query be added to the slow query log in IAM please?This would help when a specific user complains about performance so you could zoom in on his/her queries only.

Extend Excel-style filtering by search fieldCompleted

For filtering in specific columns Thinkwise has a great solution: you can easy filter in columns by clicking on the head of the column. This is Excel-style filter is quite similar to Excel. Within Excel there is an additional functionality which I like a lot and which I think would also be nice as functionality in Thinkwise: you can type into a search-field in the same small pop-up to filter the column. By that it is also possible to filter on a string which is not in front of the records in the column. What do you think about it, would that function be useful?

At this moment Excel style filters are not available on all columns. Using the normal filter is an option, but takes much more time for the user to set. Please make this available ASAP (MoSCoW - should)  Also for other type of fields (not checkbox, date)Priority order: checkbox, combo box, date, other

Scheduler: Calendar viewCompleted

Details of a plan are not every user friendly to see, would be great if we could click on a resource group and see a day calendar view for a day..  Where you have a better overview on the data.

Make the Lookup icon appear on read only mode on a GRID in Universal GUICompleted

How would you like the idea to have a lookup icon on the grid when you are in read only mode?Currently we can see the lookup icon only in Edit mode: Why not have it also when we are in plain view read only mode similar to the FORM.It could be controlled via CSS to hide and make it visible on Hover or hide all together.

Assign tasks, reports and prefilters to a bar like detailsCompleted

I would like to be able to assign a task/report/prefilter to a bar, like we assign details to a detailgroup. I want to be able to show other objects in the bar above the grid, than the objects on the form or even in the ribbon.In case we use 2 bars in the same screentype you get all the objects in both bars (see Any ideas/tricks to running tasks from different parts of the same screen?). It would be easier to assign the objects to the bar.

Universal GUI Mandatory fieldsCompleted

The issue about the mandatory fields in the Universal is closed. I installed 2025.03 Universal and it seems that the mandatory fields are now indicated with a really small asterisk which has the same color as the theme color. Please make this asterisk RED or much better please add an option that the mandatory fields may have another background. The windows users are really used to it and it’s really visible.It seems that there are no options at all anymore to tweak the colors of the GUI. It’s just the main color and the accent color and that’s it. If for what ever reason that is not what TW likes to implement then please mark the mandatory fields with a RED little bit bigger asterisk, that’s what you indeed see on a lot of websites. This item was closed for comments… So that’s why I created a new idea.

Place header filtering dots always on bottom right side of the headerCompleted

The latest GUI (2025.3.12.0) supports header filtering for numeric fields, which generally are aligned to the right side. The three dots for header filtering are then placed on the left side of the field. And when a header is multiple rows, the three dots are vertically aligned to the middle.The effect of this is a unclear and sloppy header when fields with different alignments are mixed. For a user it isn’t instantly clear which three dots are for which field this way. For example:  Please always place the three dots on the bottom right side of the header (or make this configurable).

Connect software factory with local LLMCompleted

In conjunction with:It could be a good addition for the software factory to be able to connect to a highly specialized on-premise LLM instance for reviewing and writing SQL code. This LLM instance would have full access to our database but because it doesn’t need access to the outside world our data would remain safe.

Save your own prefilter queries / filter expressionsCompleted

Using UP, it is already possible to create and save your own prefilters, by entering values for the available columns in the table. This always leads to an and-based prefilter, which has limited options. I would like to be able to make my prefilters by writing a query or by saving my filter expressions. This way you can also make your own or-based prefilters, use subqueries or joins, etc.

Add translation objects for RolesCompleted

IAM is available in a few languages, but users of IAM need to assign roles to user groups based on the name of the role and the description. With internationalisation in mind and not knowing what language the IAM user understands, we need to be able to provide the names and descriptions of the roles in each language that IAM is available in. Not just the language the application is made in.

Search option for selecting systemflow to test in processflow monitorCompleted

Currently you can use the Processflow monitor to test system flows. This is a very useful feature. There is however one issue with the current screen. You cannot search/filter within the list of system flows. Often this list will become quite large.Please implement a search/filter for this dropdown list

Import a base model into a work modelCompleted

It is currently possible to link a base model to a work model. But if you want to change something, you will have to do it in the base model. This makes it impossible to integrate it with other objects of your model.I would like to have the option to import a full base model into a work model instead of just linking it. Basically the same result as using the ‘Unlink generated object’ on all objects of the base model.This would make it easier to integrate Thinkstore projects into our own projects.

We would like to have the ability to use Push Notifications on Demand to send custom messages to our users. Currently the only notification that you get from the Universal GUI is during a system Upgrade to a new version, or once asking you to install the app on your device. The Idea is to have a built in way for push notifications on demand to users fromwithin the build application  IAM Both the aboveSending a notification to users for critical items as per the developed application demands.Optional if possible to be able to select the delivery medium from:SMS iOS, Android, and web push Notifications
