Grid header heightCompleted

There seems to be a relationship between the grid height setting and the height of the grid header.I think this is not correct and the height of the header should only depend on the content of the header.Are the UI/UX developers aware of this illogical behavior? Can this be fixed?

A seperate setting for searchOpen

Currently there is 1 setting to activate both filter and search. Since this is activated by default you get a validation message on each table that does not have search columns. When we have a seperate setting for search then this setting can be deactivated by default. And if you select a column to be searchable the checkbox will be automatically set (much like how it works with layout, default and context). As a side effect this will also reduce the amount of validation messages. The missing search checkbox makes it also more confusing then it should be, since there is a find checkbox, but that’s windows gui only. So to deactivate search you would have to deactivate filter which also deactivates filter. To me this makes no sense. I understand both do pretty much the same but I can imagine in some cases you want to be able to filter but not search. Just for the sake of user friendliness adding a seperate search setting and perhaps adding (windows gui only) to find will make this so much easier for new and less experienced users.

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)

Detail rights from combined rolesOpen

Currently a detail reference needs rights on the source table, the target table and the reference all in one role in order to work. However, we want to be able separate the roles for the source table and target table and the detail should only be shown to users who have permissions on the source table (including the reference) and target table.For example a situation with a product table and a calculation table with each their own menu item and their own role, but also a reference showing calculation as a detail on product. Some users only have a the product role and some users have both roles. Only for the users with both roles the detail should be shown.The only work-around we currently have is giving the product role rights to the calculation table without any column rights. But this way it always shows the detail, just with no content for users who only have the product role (the universal GUI shows an infinite loading animation). Which is very ugly and user unfriendly. So this is not a valid option.

Execute unit tests from mock dataOpen

As a developer it would be handy to execute unit tests from a selected mock data set and see the execution status in the ‘linked unit tests’-grid. This way it would be easier to determine the impact of changing the mock data.

Universal: Optimize space usage with grouped gridMerged

When you group in a grid a lot of room is lost with whitespace. In data rich systems you need all room necessary to show as much of information as possible without scrolling.  E.g. data density is a much spoken topic, this doesn't goes only vertical but also horizontal by utilizing your limited space to the max.

Disable subjects logical concept when last template is disconnectedOpen

In the SF, when you assign a template to the code group of a subject/table. The SF automatically enables a checkbox in the subjects’ settings to enable the logic concept, for example for defaults, layouts and contexts.  However, when you ‘unassign’ the last template to a subjects’ code group, the checkbox is not unchecked, which always results in a error in the GUI. This forces you to manually go to the subject and uncheck the checkbox.  We would like this process to be automatic, in which the SF checks if no templates are assigned to subjects logical concept, automatically resulting in disabling the checkbox for that logical concept in the subjects’ settings.

Custom colour palette for chartsMerged

Hello everyone,As I was working on a chart I found one obstacle: the colour palette. In our application we have several operations a production employee can perform. And our end users can create more of those operations. Each operation has a unique colour. Now that is what I want to see in the chart, but that seems to be impossible at the moment. Now a chart has a pre defined colour palette, but I would like to see it user defined. As in: in the application therre is an option to make operations, each with a user defined colour, I'd like to use those colours as my colour palette, so I can make each column of each planned item the colour of the given operation.So when I have three operations, and 5 items in the chart, then I would want to see three colours, now there are 5 unique colours that don't correspond the operatoins of the planned items I made:So for instance, the operation colours were red, yellow and green, I want to only see those three. but if there are 5 operation, I would want to see those 5 colours on there, each planned item its own corresponding colour.

Lookup value in menuMerged

I would like the option to display the lookup value of a row in the menu. In my case, I open a list, and when I double-click a row, a new menu item opens with a specific form. However, it's possible to open multiple rows from that list. When this happens, it becomes difficult to keep track of which form is open in the menu. See the example below:  I want something like this:

Schedule System flow - App schedulerOpen

Hi,I have an idea to improve the system flow scheduler to also take in consideration the applications that is running on. In my case I have a system flow that does HTTP requests on Microsoft Graph. Due to the volume of it, if 2 applications have the same system flow scheduled to run without manually choosing different times for it to start, I will get throttling and the requests would fail.It would be nice to also set up a queue between the applications that have the system flow published on. In this case, I could chose to run on app A, at the end of it to start run on app B etc. until it's over, then resume again with app A.Thanks,Paul

Enlarge the signature fieldOpen

I would like to post the idea to enlarge the signature field in Universal when hitting it.The field is now pretty small on a mobile phone and it’s pretty hard to configure it.Hopefully we can get the task bar in the top so that whould give some space, but it would be great if the signature field enlarges automatically so the user has the whole screen to put a signature.

Roles: option to sort on role nameClosed

It would be very helpful to be able to sort on a role name. It is easier to search on a sorted list by name then by sequence number.I even don't see the additional value of sequence number for the roles. I need to adjust those every time :-(

Timepicker, minute dial in controlable stepsOpen

As development team we would like more controle over the timepicker/input dails regarding minutes. We have different customers used to have their employees input times in blocks of 10 and/or 15 minutes.Example use-case:A mechanic visits a customer for the maintenance of an airco. After the work is done:He/she needs to provide the time of arrival at the customer; He/she needs to provide the time of start and stop of work; The employer requests the input time is rounded per 15 minutes;Overall a mechanic is there to perform the task of maintaining or fixing the airo-unit. They (usually) don't want to be bothered with administrative tasks. So to ease them in their administrative work we want to simplify the timepicker's minute dail into 4 options of 00, 15, 30 or 45 minutes (currently this is 00, 01, 02, etc till 59 which makes the scroll wheel/dropdown much longer).Unfortunately limiting the timepicker's dail into only 4 options is not yet possible so I want to ask if this option can be implemented at some point? Is there a work-around that does not involve rounding of input maybe..?Yes, we have been looking into rounding the input down or up but this not the solution/wish our customers have.

Automatic re-apply intermediate mappingCompleted

When using data migration between different versions/branches etc. You often have to use re-apply intermediate mapping when using data migration, why is this needed? I would opt to make this part of the merging/branching/creation process. There is also the opportunity here to make the data migration process much more user friendly.

Optional parameters in proceduresCompleted

As far as i can see, there is no option in the SF to define default values for subroutine parameters. When a default value could be defined they become an optional parameter in SQL server. I would like to suggest this add such an option in the SF?The advantage is that you don’t have to define all parameters when calling a subroutine.As far as I can see is that in the subroutine parameters an extra field should be added with default value. In the generate process the declaration of the parameters need to be changed so the variable will be declared as:create procedure proc_1 ( @a id @b id = 0) as begin In this case @b becomes an optional parameter and when calling procedure proc_1 there is no need to pass a value for parameter @b

Default value for procedure parametersMerged

Default for procedure parameters.If you can provide a default value for a procedure parameter, you can call the procedure without that parameter using the “named parameter feature” of SQL server.This allows you to create a procedure for which you only have to give some required and some other parameters. That makes coding more dynamic, and the model less restrictive.

Better way to indicate code generation status vs code deployment status in functionality screenCompleted

Currently in the code deployment screen it is quite difficult to see whether or not you have already deployed your code. The icon used for this is very confusing. It is a green checkbox indicating you are finished. However, this only means to code is generated and ready for deployment.I need a better way to identify that the code generation is completed but the code is not deployed yet. This could be resolved by either changing the current icons or set up 2 different fields to indicate the status of the code generation and a second field to indicate the status of the deployment of the code

Create a development database when branchingOpen

When creating a new feature branch in the SF, the developer can’t start working yet. First a development database of the application needs to be copied and upgraded. Possibly, a script needs to be executed to modify/remove some data.Please automate this and make it possible that Indicium executes these actions, preferably with pre-defined settings.

Add a 'Delete Branch Database' Option When MergingOpen

It could be useful to have a 'Delete branch database' checkbox (with a warning) that can be selected when merging a feature branch back into a protected branch (e.g. develop). If checked, the feature branch database would be automatically deleted after the merge process is complete.While the entire branching and merging process is currently handled within the Software Factory, the feature branch database remains on the database server even after the branch is archived. This means users still need to manually remove it via SSMS, which adds an extra step. Having this option within Software Factory could streamline the process and ensure better cleanup after merging.   To prevent accidental deletions, the checkbox could be unchecked by default and: Only showing when the merge strategy is set to 'Archive branch automatically after merge'. The source branch is not protected. The source branch database has a different name than the target branch database. Maybe show a warning when checking the box

Add Badges to Menu & Tabs to Show Failed Unit/Smoke TestsOpen

Currently, we have to manually open the unit and smoke test screens to check for failed tests. I think it would be much more effective if failures were indicated with badges (like validations) in the menu and tabs. This could provide a clear visual cue that action is needed, without actively looking for them. Creation tabs not showing badgeMenu not showing badge in tabsControl procedure not showing badge in tab

Formal option to hide a column translationOpen

IdeaMy idea is to turn workarounds for hiding column translations into a formal option.ReasonFrom time to time, it happens that you don’t want to show a column translation.Consider an image combo that appears first in a grid:The current workaround is to enter a space in the grid translation field, as this is a required field for columns.Or a form where a label is not desirable because the context is already clear from the form group label:The workaround here is to set the label width to 0. Despite this, the translation is still being passed to the GUI in the background.

Jump from task to linked control procedures and templatesOpen

What I am really missing at the moment is a way to jump from my task (or subroutine or processflow) to a screen which contains all the related (assigned) control procedures and templates.We have the go to code overview screen. But this is not what I need when I want to make a change to my task/subroutine or processflow. Because I want to change to assigned code template(s). Having a button on the object called “Jump to code templates” which will open a screen contains all control procedures with assigned templates is what I need. It will only show control procedures and templates linked to my object. In the case of a task this is would be all linked defaults, layouts and tasks controle procedure + templates. In case of a processflow this would be all process control procedures linked to a processflow step.I should also be able to generate and deploy code from this screen.

Drag & drop also with cardlist.Open

The backlog of the Universal GUI is really missing drag and drop from a cardlist. In a web-environment a card-list is quite often used (at least we do) and it is really a pity that apparently the drag-drop functionality will not be implemented for this component. I would really like to see drag-drop also from cardlist aside the grid and tree.

Default display type setting per branchCompleted

As a developer, I would like to be able to set the default display type of a table task in the project for more consistency within the application.Currently, every table task you add defaults to the "Icon+text (>text >icon)" display type, while we prefer "icon only" by default. So, as a developer, you need to manually adjust this for every new table task.If you can set this default in your project and it is applied automatically, it will reduce the chance of errors and increase consistency in your application because it will be displayed in the same way.
