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.

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.

Remember settings when executing all creation stepsMerged

When all creation steps are executed during a creation or upgrade, the previously chosen configuration is lost, requiring us to reconfigure all settings. I would like these settings to be retained. Ideally, we should be able to save configurations under labeled prefixes, allowing all settings associated with a given prefix to be reapplied automatically.Additionally, we have around 500 unit tests and counting. I would like smoke tests and unit tests to be editable and retained as well. During development, I don’t want to run all unit and smoke tests every time an upgrade is needed—especially when only minor changes, such as adding a forgotten column or modifying a domain, have been made.

Task icons universal are cut off when more then 5 are displayedCompleted

Currently, when a subject displays more then five tasks with icons, the icons are hidden and the title of the task is shown. When contexts are used to hide certain tasks in certain conditions, icons keep disappearing and reappearing which results in odd behavior. I'd prefer to make this configurable or to cut off the text by default, but not hide the icon. The icon (when chosen correctly) is meaningful for the tasks and when available, an end user which has become familiar with these icons, is thrown off when trying to search for it...

Filter option in Tile menuOpen

At the moment I really miss the option to filter within my Tile menus. The Listbar and Tree menu types offer a filtering option, but the Tile menu does not.I often get the question from clients to enable filtering in the tile menu, but since this is not available have to tell them this is not supported.From a personal view I also would really like this feature. Because as an admin, I get to access to a lot of tiles and often lose sight of where I placed the tile which I have to open.

Easy way to set Extended PropertiesDeclined

The way extended properties have to be configured is too complicated. First find the right Extended Property in the documentation etc...Why not show all extended properties and fill them with default values at first use and show all possible options per property with a lookup?

Add 'Database name' to 'Copy model' taskOpen

Copy model is very basic and even has potential risks since it re-uses the same database name. I’m not sure what the use case is of having 2 models share the same database name. Can we add the ‘Database name’ to the copy task so I don’t have to change it manually?

Option to turn on/off system flows on bringing application onlineOpen

When bringing an application online all system flows are also activated. However, on a development environment this is not always wanted since a flow might not work on Dev and cluster the indicium log with errors. Can we add a tick box activate system flows to the bring application online task that is set to yes by default? This way I have the option to deactivate this and not have to manually deactivate all process flows.

Create Docker container with disabled background operationsOpen

When pulling and running a new Indicium container in Docker it immediately attempts to run scheduled systemflows which isn’t always desirable. To prevent this from happening I’d like to see a new environment variable to disable the agent before the container runs for the first time.

Show more information in top bar of universal GUIMerged

It would be nice if more information could be shown in the top bar when navigating through detail tabs. In example next to the ordernumber (VO00031) you would also want to see information about the selected orderline (VO00031 - line 1 - abcdef).

Make form tabpage expanding configurable in layout procedureMerged

With the TSF 2025.1 version, it has become possible to expand/collapse form tab pages in Universal. However this is currently only configurable on the subject (default expanded or not). We would like to be able to influence this from the layout procedure as well so that tab pages can be collapsed based on the data and can even become dynamically.

Delegate / proxy feature to transfer user rights in case of holidays or sicknessOpen

Not sure whether Thinkwise should deliver this feature or not, but just wanted to post this Idea to see if other TW-customers needs these kind of functionality too.Delegation functionalityA feature in a software system that allows users to define their holiday or sickness period and transfer their user rights to a dedicated colleague is typically referred to as "delegation" or "proxy" functionality. This feature is crucial for ensuring business continuity and workflow efficiency in an organization.Key Components and FunctionalityUser Interface for Setting Delegation: Period Definition: Users can specify the start and end dates for their holiday or sickness period. Select Delegate: Users choose a colleague to whom their rights and responsibilities will be transferred during their absence. Reason/Notes: Optionally, users can provide a reason for the delegation (e.g., holiday, medical leave). Delegation Rules and Permissions: Granular Permission Control: Users should be able to select which rights and responsibilities are transferred. For example, they might delegate the ability to approve certain workflows but retain access to sensitive information. Temporary Access: The system should ensure that the delegate only has access for the specified period and automatically revoke access once the period ends. Optional: Notification and Confirmation: Notifications: Both the original user and the delegate should receive notifications about the delegation setup, including any changes or cancellations. Confirmation: The delegate may need to confirm acceptance of the delegated responsibilities. Audit and Security: Audit Logs: The system should log all delegation activities for security and compliance purposes. Security Checks: Regular checks to ensure that delegations do not create security risks or conflicts of interest. BenefitsBusiness Continuity: Ensures that critical tasks and approvals are not delayed due to a user's absence. Maintains workflow efficiency by allowing colleagues to handle responsibilities seamlessly. Improved Flexibility: Users can take time off without worrying about pending tasks or responsibilities. Provides flexibility in managing unexpected absences due to sickness or emergencies. Enhanced Collaboration: Promotes a collaborative work environment where colleagues can support each other. Helps in distributing workload effectively during peak times or staff shortages. ConclusionA well-implemented delegation feature enhances productivity, ensures continuity, and provides flexibility in managing absences. It is a vital component for modern software systems, particularly in organizations that require constant workflow and decision-making processes. Ensuring security, ease of use, and seamless integration are critical factors for the success of this feature.

Add 'Execute Procedure' as process action type for Process FlowsOpen

Since process flows can be scheduled it would be valuable to have this feature available.Especially for environments that use AzureSQL, because they don't have an Agent to schedule jobs.Personally I prefer to use Procedures for scheduled jobs, instead of tasks. I only use tasks where in case  only where user interaction is applicable.

Using a subroutine as process actionMerged

When working with process or system flows, I often want execute a specific bit of code depending on a case. Currently I either have to use system tasks (which has all sorts of issues and limitations) or use the decision step and include my code or call of a procedure in this decision step.It would be great to be able to include the call of a subroutine as a process and system flow step. Also it should be possible to use this process step as a start of a system flow.This will prevent the incorrect usage of system tasks and include code, which should have been stored in procedure, in a process procedure.To summarize, be able to include a subroutine of the type procedure in a Flow, either system or process. Also be able to map the output values of the procedure into Flow parameters.

Model actionbar elementsCompleted

Especially with the introduction of the actionbar component, where you can freely position the actionbar it has become more a necessity to model the action groups of the actionbar. I see the taskbar has the following main groups:Filter Pre-filter Tasks Reports CRUD actions (incl. import/export) RefreshIt's not uncommon that you have a grid, form and for example a preview/cube/ or other element not being a reference.. If you put them all on a separate tab all the component gets all the action bar items. Functionally and personally this is unwanted. the filter, pre-filter and mass update for example do not make sense on a form level (exceptions are there of course) because you are looking at a single entity.  In the U-GUI we use the previewer to load external apps.. Basically you don't want to have search, filter, CRUD actions there (again exceptions are possible)It would be really great if the option to hide action bar could be extended by modelling at screentype level which action-bar items you would like to see.  Example: If you put a form on a separate tab, the search /filters are most likely unwanted because it will most like likely changes your context if you (accidentally) fill something in the searchbar or activate a pre-filter.  If you have, like we external components that base themselves like a form on a single entity you have the same situation.. you probably only want to see tasks/reports and a refresh button here..  Especially when you are not familiar with the concept of Thinkwise it's odd to see have search / CRUD actions here.  @tiago @Yara

Enlarged foto by hover-overOpen

Introducing a hover-to-enlarge photo feature in the grid can significantly enhance the user experience and improve data density. This functionality allows users to quickly and easily view larger versions of images without needing to click or navigate away from the current page. By enabling users to see detailed images on hover, it reduces the need for additional space to display larger photos, thereby optimizing the use of screen real estate.

Task in IAM to activate/deactivate an applicationCompleted

During an upgrade, we deactivate the application in IAM, to make sure the process flows stop running while the model changes are not sent to IAM yet. When you have multiple applications on one model, you need to activate/deactivate all these applications through the form. We would like to see a task where you can activate/deactivate multiple selected applications in IAM.

A quick improvement for me to work faster is to include domain names in the search option for columns here:In model contents, the domain names are included in the search. Would be great to have that within tables as well.

Delete model or branch warning in IAMCompleted

In IAM Models and Branches kan be cleaned up by using the delete button. If you accidently had selected a model instead of a branch, the whole model is deleted including all branches.If all groups and roles are implemented in the SF a sync could fix the mistake. If not you're left with restoring the IAM database.Today I accidently removed a model instead of a branch this way. I now depend on IT to restore the database. Luckily it was no production IAM.My idea: present the user with a popup and having him/her selecting wether to delete a model with all branches or not. If it is up to me, deleting a model that has branches shouldn't be possible at all.
