Only load data for columns that are shownOpen

Currently Universal loads all data from the table or view that the user has access to, regardless if the data is shown in the table or not.  In our experience this massively increases the load on the database, not only when using views that have logic and many sources in them but especially when you have a table/view that has many relations with other tables with lookups defined. Every lookup creates a join or an apply. We even ran into situations where the query became so complicated that compiling the query by the SQL engine was taking multiple seconds (4+) while if I take the query thats been generated by Incidium and alter it to only include the columns that are actually shown the compilation only takes about half a second. The plan is barely cached due to parameters + the fetch offset being used in the front end. I can supply TW with example query thats been generated and my altered version if requested.  Suggestion:Only load the actual data being shown instead of the entire row(s)

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

More options for logging in IAMMerged

I like to know how often various screens, tasks and reports are opened or executed by users. The action log is suitable for this, but how to activate this is not clear. We found out that the option 'Recommendations’ can be set to activate logging per Configuration. More specific setting options, per user and per object are desirable.

Run system flow at configurable timezoneOpen

System flows are now running at UTC time.With this behaviour it’s not (easily) possible to run a system flow on a fixed time in a specific timezone f.e. at 00:00:10 at Amsterdam time, even if there is a switch from or to the Dailight saving time period. (Summertime/Wintertime) I would think of a parameter where you can choose the timezone. If you choose UTC it runs like it does now. If you put it on Amsterdam It follows the Amsterdam time zone. There is a system flow log so during the switch to wintertime (Where the time is reset to 1 hour earlier) the system can check this log if it has already run for that specific moment, preventing it runs twice in that specific )switchover night)

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).

Multiple System flow schedulesOpen

I the SF you can define multiple schedules for 1 system flow. F.e. 1 runs every day at 00:01 and 1 runs every hour on 04:00.However you’re able to define 2 schedules, only 1 schedule can be active. I would suggest the idea to have multiple schedules active. Of course it’ll need some checks to prevent running them on the same moment, but that should be doable.

Clear menu searchbar in Universal GUI after clicking a document in 2026.1 Software FactoryMerged

When I used to search in the WindowsGUI Software Factory, I could search ‘sub’, click Subjects and the menu would open back up since the searchfield in the menu got cleared after searching. This was very useful when you need to navigate quickly through the Software Factory.Unfortunately this is handeled differently in the UniversalGUI Software Factory and I now need to manually clear my search everytime I want to be able to open another document.

Open start objects after switching branchOpen

I have several start objects in the SF, since I always use the same 5 screens. However after switching branches I have to manually open them. To me it would make more sense if the start objects are started once again when switching branches.

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.

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?

Changing standard size of the pop-up screenClosed

A number of my clients have asked me if it is possible to make the size of the pop-up screens bigger. I understand that this is not yet the case. So now they must click on the https://maximize button. It would be nice to have the possibility to size the pop-up screen in the SF.
