No lookup on generated tablesOpen

It is possible to create a look-up on a generated table, for instance a task-lookup. This should not be possible since generated objects get dropped when generating.

Let the SF automaticly upload reports after saving in CR (2020.2 reports in DB)Open

In the 2020.2 version the reports are stored in the database, when you make a change to a report you basicly need to download the report and re-upload it to the sf model. This seems fairly easy to do. Yet its quickly missed (by me for example) that you need to do this.For example: In a SQL Code bit, when you open that in SQL management studio and save it. It will automaticly insert the new version of the code into the SF model. So why is the user experience different with reports? Feels a bit off that you need to edit the report  record in the SF, remove the report and then find the just editted report in your “Temp” folder (because thats where the SF stored it meanwhile you opened it). And re-upload it.

Show icon instead of badge next to the object nameOpen

Instead of showing a number next to an object name that represents something, I would like to be able to make it an Icon. For instance, let's say the badge normally shows a number of rows where the user needs to do something about. But in my case it doesn't matter much if there's is 1 thing or 100 things. So instead of showing [100] I would like to show an icon. Then when hovering over the icon, it should show an tooltip where I can say to the user why the icon is visible. Example next to Tab 'File’:

Control with spelling or grammar checkOpen

I would like to be able to choose a control that has automatic spelling and/or grammar check. This control can then be used in the SF to check the spelling of help text.   This could also be nice to use in HTML, RTF or multi-lines for orders or data that will be shown on reports and send to customers.

Filter in treeviews without losing parent nodesOpen

Let's say I want to apply a manual filter in the following treeview, so I can see all validations assigned to me. This will lead to the following structure: I would very much like to be able to keep seeing the parent nodes, leaving this full branch of the tree intact. This way you never lose the structure of your treeview out of sight while filtering.

Button to clear all running tasks in 'Running tasks' panelOpen

In my application it is possible to run some tasks multiple times and everytime it creates a record in the ‘Running tasks' panel. If I'm not looking there often and then look there after a while when activating the previously mentioned task, there can be numerous records in the panel. Pressing left-click on the 'X’ everytime is not so practical so...I would like a button to clear all records in the 'Running tasks’ panel.

Buttons ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ in previewOpen

We have developed a process flow that starts a new document with a preview. This preview opens a webpage to fill a shopping basket. The shopping basket will be pushed to the application and creates new records with the articles of the basket.When a user is navigating on the website it is possible that the user can’t return to a previous page within the website. Especially if the navigation(menu) of the website doesn’t facilitate this.For example: 2BA website. By clicking through the website you are able to get to a contact page but can’t return to the main page because the website doesn’t have any buttons to navigate to another page. This is really inconvenient. It would be nice to support ‘Previous’/’Next’-page navigation on a website via a the ‘preview’ component.

Clarify that only Excel files are allowed to import in the web guiDeclined

We've done some usability testing on the web gui and notices that it's not immediately clear what is allowed to import*. To place it in context, we also have other imports (xml or other various formats) via tasks, which may confuse end users. It's a bit difficult to explain end users that the “Import” is generic and different than importing a xml file via a task. So they often go to “Import” in stead of the task. It would be usefull if the web file upload has a file type restriction like the Windows GUI has: Windows GUIWeb GUI  This would help the user a bit more in troubleshooting. *: The users don't see the red dot when uploading an invalid file, and don't know why they cannot continue to the following screen. Maybe the red dot should be complemented with some text that the file extension is not allowed.

Uniqueidentifier with NEWSEQUENTIALID as Primary KeyOpen

I like to use a domain with Uniqueidentifier as datatype for primairy key fields in tables. In this case the pk field of new records should get a the value of function NEWID() or NEWSEQUENTIALID(). Using NEWID can be achieved by using a default procedure, but using NEWSEQUENTIALID() as default value in the table definition will result in better performance. I think this requires adjustments in the SF.

Disabling the possibility to make changes to generated screen typesOpen

When screen types are defined in a Base project and thus imported/genereated into a working projectversion, it is still possible to change them. All changes, however, will be lost after generating the definition of the version. When a mix of generated and new, specially for a version created, screen type exist one can easily make the mistake of changing a screen type in a working projectversion instead of in the base project where a screen type is generated from, For generated domains editing it is already disabled in the SF, so why not of screen types. Or for all generated items for that matter.

Multi-row tasks: notify user when task will not be executed for one or more of the selected rowsOpen

Per recommendation by @Anne Buit: creating an Idea about notifying the user when one or more of the selected rows in a Multi-row Task execution are - Not eligable due to Context logic - Evicted after user input was not applicable to the row (due to Layout logic limiting fields, look-up filters) - Not executable due to the Layout logic preventing the commitand as a result not Executed.  We concluded that in an important scenario for which we use the multi-row Task execution the lack of a notification to the end user is a huge risk, we cannot affort the task execution skipping a record going unnoticed to the end user. Basically, in this scenario we currently cannot use the Context procedure and have to work around it. So we're definitely eager to have the ability to notify the user in the above scenarios!

Create prefilter group via IAMOpen

When creating user prefilters (via TCP or an application with IAM) that could exclude each other you have to turn them on or off individually. It would be nice if users could create prefilter groups and even allow the group to ‘Exclude’ the prefilters. Just like TSF supports.

Monitor the progress of a process flowOpen

To support complex functionality, we have developed process flows that require the execution of several steps including tasks and calls to external connectors. The whole process takes some time, particularly due to the external HTTP calls which have to be made during the process.It would be nice to be able to provide some feedback to the user with an indication of which action is being executed. This helps the user giving an idea about how long it might take before the whole process is finished.This could be eithera progress bar like the one available for tasks, its progress based simply on the count of how many steps are defined in the flow from start to end and which step is currently executing a pop-up showing a message like we see in many applications, its text providing information on the task that is active at any given moment or any other way of indicating progress in the execution of the process flow..Ideally all of the above, and the developer would be able to choose the desired method of indicating progress and configure it to work at best with the rest of application.

Runtime configurations per roleOpen

When creating software you usually have various roles. At this point we are really missing the creation of runtime configurations with different roles. Especially with testing and developing it is extremely handy to be able to fast switch between roles. Now the selected role is applied to all configurations.

Adding table types, and the option to pass them to proceduresOpen

https://codingsight.com/passing-data-table-as-parameter-to-stored-procedures/To pass large amounts of data to a performance sensitive stored procedures we would like to pass a table as a parameter to a stored procedure as described in the article above.For this we need to define a type/domain as a table, and we need to set the parameter of a stored procedure to read only. Those are both options currently not available to us in the SF.Could this be made possible please? The idea is described in the attached link.

process action - barcode generatorOpen

There is a mystic black and white creature within the Thinkwise ecosystem. It's name known to developers as ‘WebServiceBarcodeGenerator’, well there goes mystic.. Bad jokes aside, this is a powerful feature for the type of applications which are build within the Thinkwise ecosystem. Think of warehouse management systems or supplier portals who need to print customer specific labels. Therefore, I would like to propose the idea of making this a process action. What does it do? It can generate barcodes based on several input parameters. One parameter that holds for all, is the text that needs to be presented in the barcode. Type of barcodes:Code 128  Input paramaters width add whitespaces to left/right (quietzones) Returns type of file [png/gif/jpeg] (binary) Datamatrix  Input paramaters ModuleSize Margin around the matrix type of datamatrix SchemeAscii SchemeAsciiGS1  (Default) SchemeAutoBest SchemeAutoFast SchemeBase256 SchemeC40 SchemeEdifact SchemeText SchemeX12 Schema type Symbol8x18 Symbol8x32 Symbol10x10 Symbol12x12 Symbol12x26 Symbol12x36 Symbol14x14 Symbol16x16 Symbol16x36 Symbol16x48 Symbol18x18 Symbol20x20 Symbol22x22 Symbol24x24 Symbol26x26 Symbol32x32 Symbol36x36 Symbol40x40 Symbol44x44 Symbol48x48 Symbol52x52 Symbol64x64 Symbol72x72 Symbol80x80 Symbol88x88 Symbol96x96 SymbolRectAuto SymbolShapeAuto SymbolSquareAuto  (prefered and default) Code39 and Code39 extended  Input paramaters width height Returns type of file [png/gif/jpeg] - Binary QR Codes  Input paramaters pixels per module reserved Returns type of file [png/gif/jpeg] - Binary

Universal on mobile force open on-screen keyboardDeclined

Currently when using Universal on mobile the user has to tap a field before the on-screen keyboard pops up, even when opening a task with a single visible parameter. If we can force the keyboard to pop up instantly in certain cases we would prevent unnecessary user actions

Execute source code (upgrade) parallelOpen

Our development branches generally have 2, 3 (and sometimes more) databases linked. In the creation process we want the step “execute source code” (the upgrade) to be performed in parallel on all databases that are linked to an branche. This significantly shortens the turnaround time of the upgrade process. When, for example, a session id is added to the jobs (see screen “job log”), the parallel jobs in that session can be kept together.

Automatic select the value if the suggestion contains (or starts with) has one left. Open

  I use a 'suggestion contains' lookup for a product. In this case the displayed lookup column, is a combined field (product code and description).  When I use the 'suggestion contains' I still have to select the value if there is one left. Especially when I copy the 'product code' value from another place, this is annoying.

Column titles (text) should wrap instead of getting abbreviated / cut offOpen

Column titles with long names are annoying because they initially broaden grid columns. After adjusting column width the column title is not completely visible anymore because it does not enter text wrapping mode. Text wrapping should be able to set up in 3 ways: wrapping on whitespace only wrapping on whitespace, OR word break up (fe: "This column" is 2 words and can be wrapped between This and Column. "Seatbelts" though is 1 word but could be wrapped up by using word breakup to something like "Seat- wrap- belts" depending on vocabulary or letter count. wrapping up as one of the above, combined with text abbreviation (points). Fe "This extensive information" as column title could be wrapped up like "This -wrap- extensi -wrap- ve inf -wrap- ormati..." But I would already be happy when just wrapping on whitespace could be accomplished.

Changing into edit mode by double click into the fieldOpen

While implementing a software for a customer and changing many editable fields a got an idea. For sure, I can change to the edit mode by clicking on the ‘change to edit mode’ button or by pressing ‘ctrl+e’. But wouldn’t it be great and intuitive to just double-click on a field which is not in edit mode and then it changes to edit mode? What do you think, is it a useful function?
