Multi-row selection row shade editableNew

In the Universal GUI grid the selected row, and the selected rows in multi-row selection, have different shades. Sometimes it's hard to tell which rows are selected. Currently these colors cannot be changed.It would be nice if this was configurable in the Software Factory.

Pivot grid zoom in - normal grid functionalityDeclined

When you double click on a pivot grid cell, you get a popup grid zoomed in on the aggregated rows.This popup grid cannot be controlled by the developer (except for hiding fields). We would like the possibility to setup this grid like every other grid, thus specify screentype, add tasks, add details, etc.Basically the popup grid should use the grid as specified in the subject (variant) that is used for the pivot grid.

Copy application should set "Sequence no" to max + 10Next release

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.

Allow filtering in model/application listOpen

Currently when working in the development environment or test environment the list of models/application can become quite large. It would be of great help if some sort of filtering option would be available in this list.For example, to be able to filter in the specific feature branch you are working in.

Use different table variants for screen types with multiple gridsOpen

We use this screen setup for quite some occasions: a list with details behind it, with each detail having a small list on the left side so the user could easily switch between rows while staying on the detail screen (the same setup is used for ‘Subjects’ in the SF). But there are two limitations that we would like to overcome:-It is not possible to use a different table variant for the small list on the left side (deviated from the main list). While for example we want hide certain fields in the small list and specify certain tasks only on a the main grid and some tasks on both. The only thing that can be changed is the action bar, but that means the small list shows all tasks or none.-It needs an own screen type per table in order to name/icon the detail tab pages (which are actually component tab pages) like the the detail. This also requires manually maintenance when a translation is changed.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerPlanned

As explained in Adding extra files to Universal GUI container | Thinkwise Community, the current Universal GUI container doesn’t support adding custom html files (like Screen components | Thinkwise Documentation or Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI | Thinkwise Community). This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount).

Number of multiple running instances for a system flowOpen

Instead of a flag for multiple running instances, I would like to set a maximum number of running instances to prevent an overload. Currently, we have to create our own solution, even though IAM has all the necessary information (see Is it possible to limit the number of multiple running instances for a system flow? | Thinkwise Community).

Copy cube fields translation from column translation on generating translation objectUnder review

When creating a new cube, there is an enrichment that copies translations from columns to cube fields. However when you add cube fields later, you need to manually insert the cube field translation.When a new translation object for a cube field is generated, could it always take the column translation as a default value please?

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.

Show popup icon in grid when not in edit mode. (universal)Merged

I have views/tables that have data from a related table. I would like the GUI to always show the popup button in the grid (when modelled this way) regardless if the field is read-only, in read-mode or edit-mode. Now it only shows in edit-mode.  In windows you have a shortcut and the right mouse to show the popup.. in Universal there is not equivalent.

Support for PostgreSQL as RDBMS typeNext release

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.

Collapse and expand grid rules with multiline fields in UniversalNext release

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.

Use Subflows in regular Process Flows tooNext release

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?

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.

Quality of life SF: remember 'Remember selected branch'-tick-box state per branchOpen

Hi all, I switch branches quite often, but usually I work in a development branch. So, when switching branches to “DEVELOP”, I tick the “Remember selected branch” box, which then stays active the next time I switch branch to “RELEASE”, for example. For my workflow, it would be nice if the ticked-state of the box was a property of the branch instead of a property of the popup, ie, when I set the combo box to “RELEASE”, the SF remembers that I don’t want to remember that branch and the default turns off the box. The overall effect is quite small, but it would make working with switching branches that little more intuitive in my view.

Task to assign user group to multiple users at onceOpen

To make it easier to assign a user group to multiple users, it would be very helpful to have a task to assign a user group to multiple users at once. Now you have to open each user one by one, which is very time consuming.

Automatically open filter popup when using "Start Empty with Filter" (Universal)Next release

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.

Provide Notification and Download API for new Thinkwise runtime component versionsOpen

Automation of deployments helps in speeding up the deployments ánd at the same time reduces time spent by Developers/Operators on these mundane and repeating tasks. It's great that tremendous effort is put into the SF Creation screens in the latest Thinkwise Platform releases (2021.3 / 2022.1). It's also great to see that the same is planned for Hotfixes.Now, this Idea is about the runtime components of the Thinkwise Platform (GUI's/Indicium). Currently we are notified of new Releases via the Community News & Updates blogs. By subscribing to this Category, we receive an e-mail when the Release Notes are published (and the release is available for download). After that we need to go to TCP ourselves, download new versions through the annoying download task, and then upload them in our own environment for further processing.We have automated deployments on our side already for Indicium & Universal (we only use the Windows GUI for the SF): after the new versions are uploaded in our environment, we can simply provide the Indicium + Universal combination we need, the target Environment (DEV/TEST/PROD) and our automation (in AWS using S3 / SNS / Lambda) takes care of creating the ZIP files with custom configuration, and Uploading and Deploying them (in our case to AWS Elastic Beanstalk). The next big step to speed up this process is replacing the Community e-mail / TCP manual download / upload actions. Instead we would like to see the following:Thinkwise sends a Notification through an API endpoint (to which any customer can subscribe) whenever a new version of a runtime component is available Thinkwise provides a Download API from which we can then download the new version

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Working on it!

In the Web GUI it was possible to use “Select all” and when activating a task it would ask if you wanted the records on the page or all records of all pages. Please add this also in the Universal and in addition make it work with the Multi Select XML parameter, as this popup did not seem to happen in that case.

Always execute task for all cube rowsOpen

When I connect a task to a cube, it works fine, but the task is only executed for the first row of the aggregated data. Is it possible to let the task execute for all underlying rows?  I tried using a multi row xml parameter in the task (Multirow task execution | Thinkwise Community), but that doesn’t make a difference.

Show barcode keyboard buttonWorking on it!

We have deployed an application for use on a ZEBRA scanner device.The application functions smoothly and intuitively, with one exception.It is designed around barcode scanning, and in over 95% of cases, the process can be completed simply by scanning barcodes. To support this workflow, the SuppressBarcodeKeyboard setting is enabled (Yes), which hides the on-screen keyboard.However, this has a side effect: users are unable to manually enter codes using the keyboard. This becomes problematic when barcodes are either inaccessible to the scanner or damaged.To address this, we would like to add an action button within the barcode control that allows users to activate the keyboard when needed.Something like this:We hope this is possible.Alternatively, is there another workaround you would recommend?

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.
