Unit test validationOpen

For various types of unit tests, the presence of mock data or a preparation query is necessary, as otherwise they are executed on the data currently present in the end product, which may change and lead to unreliable unit test results. This applies at least to all update and delete handlers and triggers.Can a validation be created for this?

Show multiple Related Tables on a single Detail TabOpen

One of the great features of the Thinkwise low-code platform in terms of development speed, is also one of the most annoying features from an end user perspective: the concept of Detail Tabs for related tables. It is very challenging to keep the UI clean and understandable when getting more and more related tables. We often have to revert to Views which combine a few tables in order to improve the user experience.Personally, I like the concept of displaying multiple Related Tables in a Single Tab, Grids below each other with each their own Header, only occupying space for the nr of records it contains (Salesforce does this for example). For most related tables the nr of records is usually low, therefore displaying them each on their own tab is a waste of space. Optionally, the individual Grids could include pagination for each related table, displaying for instance 10 rows by default (nr of rows should be a setting somewhere).How about introducing this in Thinkwise, in addition to the current Detail Tabs & Detail Tiles options?

Filter form with default valuesOpen

I noticed that in the past this was requested but didn't get enough votes.But in 5 years a lot can happen so I hope it's possible to ask for this functionality again?I have a grid with a lot of data and I want to be able to show all the records with date A and maybe next I want to see all records with date B.I can make prefilters but a prefilter only accounts for e.g. “today” of a seperate one for “yesterday” but not dynamically for x days ago.For this I've added a filterform and I would like to be able to set the date dropdown to a default value of today.I hear you say, use a prefilter for “today” and let the user pick a different date from the filterform when they need a different date.My experience is that the customer starts calling me because no records are found because he filters for “2014-02-14” AND the prefilter for “today” is also on.I'll tel them to use the “turn of prefilters chackbox” or manually turn of the “today” prefilter but there are many users and even those I’ve instructed before tend to forget it.Currently I disabled the prefileter and accept that the user manualy needs to pick today from the filterform date dropdown. But it would be much more conveniant if the date was by default today.I've limited the amount of records to 2000 because otherwise all current 205725 records are read every time the window opens. Unfortunately some days 2000 isn’t enough to hold all records for “today”…

IAM role setsOpen

IAM includes a task to clean up unused role sets.I've noticed in several projects that this feature is not well known, and the documentation is also quite limited.However, in some cases, cleaning up unused role sets significantly improves end-user login performance.Is there a specific reason why unused role sets are retained?If not, my suggestion would be to automatically remove a role set once it is no longer applicable.

Small improvements for Tag management in SFOpen

When working with dynamic code in the SF, the Tags table can grow rapidly for all kind of different settings. After a while it gets harder to select the right tag when adding it to an object, even when using a naming convention for them. Most of the time, tags are used only to link to one object type (for example just to link to tables), however all tags are always selectable for all object types. In order to reduce the amount of tags to choose from, it could be a simple improvement that a tag has an extra optional field where you can select the object type for which the tag is exclusively used (if the field is empty the tag will still show up for all object types).  Another thing that could help with better Tag management is adding an extra field with a sub-table (for example ‘tag_group’) in which you can combine tags of the same subject in order to (pre)filter on them quickly.

Add a default value for tagsOpen

As a small QOL feature, I would like the ability in the SF to use a default value for Tags so that when linking the tag to an object it defaults on this value.Use case is a tag that needs a value for a dynamic script, but the value is almost always the same.

Adding Offline Functionality to the Universal GUIWorking on it!

In today’s world, staying connected is crucial, but there are still moments when users find themselves without internet access—whether during travel, in remote areas, or in places with unreliable networks. So I propose adding offline functionality to the Universal GUI.Features:Essential Offline Access: Users can access and edit data while offline, with changes automatically syncing once they’re back online. Lightweight Mode: The offline version could focus on key functionalities to ensure speed and security.Offline capabilities in the Universal GUI would greatly enhance the flexibility and robustness of the Thinkwise platform, allowing users to maintain productivity anytime, anywhere.

Informing users (using Windows GUI / Indicium) of maintenance timeCompleted

I want to inform my users of my Thinkwise application there will be downtime because of maintenance. We are using the Windows GUI in combination with Indicium. Suggestion made by Erik Brink - We could think of requesting this information before login from Indicium possibly.   (See discussion: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/deployment-12/announcing-maintenance-downtime-to-users-1096?postid=3184#post3184)

Use subject to determine preview documentOn the backlog

The preview of a document (or url) is determined by the first eligable column in a table. When there are multiple columns in a table that could provide a preview, it is not possible to specify which of those columns to use. A possible work-a-round is to create multiple views were for each view the relevant column is the first one. This however is not an optimal solution because the end-user would have to switch tabs to navigate to the specific view with only a subset of the data.In our situation we work with different renditions of the same document which can have different storage locations and with that different column types. Although every rendition is a separat record, the different storage types are available in the same record and only the first will be used for the preview. The list of documents can contain documents from different storage locations where only the first technical column shows the preview.My proposal is to, in stead of the technical location, use the definition of a subject (or derived variant) as the base to determine which column to use for the preview. This could then be the first visibile column where a variant or layout procedure would determine the visibility of the column to view. This could mean that when there are two eligable columns in a subject, if the first is made hidden, the second column would be used for the preview.

Easier granting rights to an object and its childsCompleted

A number of wishes have been submitted in TCP concerning adding rights to an objects.They indicate that when rights are granted to an object, they must also be granted to its childs. Same goes for revoking these rights. I was able to extract the following situations:Rights for a table should pass on to its columns Rights for a task should pass on to its task parameters Rights for a report should pass on to its report parameters Rights for a menu should pass on to its menu items Rights for a process flow should pass on to its process actionsA number of questions about this wish:What if a new column / task parameter / report parameter / menu item is added after setting up the rights? If you give a table rights because you need a column look-up, you now only get the display. Should this change? Am I still missing situations that should also be taken into account for this wish? Personally, I think that when adding a table task, for example, it is going too far to give rights to both the table with its columns and the task with its parameters. @Jeffrey Tolboom, @Roland van Aggele, @Jaap van Beusekom, @Gijs, @Remco, @Arjan Sollie, @JasperSince you have reported a wish concerning this topic, I would certainly like to hear your opinion. Other opinions are also of course appreciated.

Custom complete creation settingsCompleted

With the release of 2021.3 you have the option to run the complete creation instead of executing the deployment step by step (generate definition, validate definition, generate source code, execute source code, run unit tests). You have three options complete, selected and selected start with none. In my opinion a fourth option is missing. This option would be custom. For example some project always use smart upgrade method having this option selected by default would be helpful. Second. If there is a custom schedule this schedule should be selected automatically when opening the execute complete creation task.

DevExpress SubReportCompleted

Currently it’s impossible to use a separate report as a subreport as ThinkWise is unable to locate said report. I know your solution is to create a Master-Detail Report with a Detail Report Band, but that doesn’t work well for having summaries at the end of your report. So is this something you might consider finding a work around for? It would solve my problem a lot faster.

Show mandatory parameters (and filling them) when creating a unit testCompleted

When I’m creating unit tests for example for a task, this task can have mandatory parameters. However to find this out I need to look up to task in the SF. So I need to open Tasks > search for the specific task > > Select Task Parameters and then sift through all the parameters and enter them mandatory.It would be much easier if the unit test already loads all mandatory parameters (and maybe even defaults some values based on the domains or defaults but that could be difficult).

Rename task for Action BarsCompleted

We have discovered the new possibilities of Action bars and are now going to apply them more and more in the screens.It is useful that multiple action bars can be used, but we are finding that it would be useful to give action bars a logical name. For example toolbar_grid_top, toolbar_grid_bottom, toolbar_form, etc.. Could a rename task be added for this?

Task to add Marker to MapCompleted

It would be great if the Maps component supports a Task to add a Marker. We would expect this Task to be triggered by double-clicking on a position on the Maps component, which should then automatically retrieve the longitude/latitude of the clicked location on the Map. This feature could be similar to the Task on the Resource Scheduler with which we can add new Activities on the Resource Scheduler component.

Change unit test objectCompleted

Currently it is not possible to change a unit test it’s linked object. I would very much like a feature that allows me to change the object of a unit test. I can image that you are not allowed to change the object type.When do you need such a feature. For example if you split up a table into 2 tables. Or when you create a view of a table and you would like to also include unit tests from this table to be copied to this his new view.Or when you have to copy/split up a task. You would like to copy units or move them to the newly create task(s).It can also be very usefully when you only find out during running the unit test that you have linked to the incorrect object.As to be expected the output and input columns/parameters can only be preserved when they exists in the new object.

Apply conditional layouts to ChartsCompleted

For a businesscase we have to set the color of a chart column to a specific color, based on the total amount. For example, when the column value <= 20 it needs to be shown in red.I recently created a ticket for this on howto activate conditional formatting on charts, but it isn’t possible at the moment. I think this will be very usefull for other customers to.
