Set prefilter group mandatory on/off per table variantOpen

We have several tables with variants. Because a table variant can't have its own set of prefilters they all need to be defined in the default table. This means that when a prefilter in the default isn't relevant for a table variant it's ususally set to “off hidden” inside this variant. All good. However in some cases there's another variant of the same default where these prefilters are not only needed but also mandatory. Then the prefilter group needs to be set to mandatory in the default. However in that case all variants where all the prefilters inside the now mandatory group were set to “off hidden” before stop loading in the Windows GUI (and possibly Universal too). This makes sense because having only disabled prefilters inside a mandatory group is contradictory.Because each variant has its own purpose we still want to be able to set a prefilter group mandatory for a specific table variant. The proposal is to make it possible to uncheck the mandatory tickbox in de default table and then make the same checkbox available inside variants. Then each variant can have its own prefilter on/off and group mandatory on/off combination.As a sidenote: perhaps it should be made impossible to set a prefilter group to mandatory when all prefilters inside are switched off. And when a group is marked mandatory make it impossible to switch off all prefilters. This would prevent contradictory settings in SF and an empty list in the GUI. But the main issue for us is that we would like to be able to mark/unmark groups as mandatory per variant.

Add option to hide grid header in UniversalMerged

In the Software Factory, it is possible to hide a grid header via screentypes: Hide grid headerIn the near future we want to switch from the Windows GUI to Universal and it seems that this option is not yet implemented in the Universal GUI (I can still see the header in Universal, whereas I do not see it in the Windows GUI).

Support deeplinks in snackbar messagesOpen

Hi everyoneI came across a feature that could enhance our user experience: adding deeplinks or other url support to snackbar messages.The benefit for the user is that we (developer) can help the user to optionally navigate to a subject. For example: in our application we notify the user of the creation of an order (without a task popup screen). It's up to the user to navigate to the created order or continue creating new orders. In these types of cases a process flow to navigate a user to the order is not possible. It would help the user if he can click on a deeplinks in the snackbar to open the newly created order if he wants to go to the order details.

Include Table Task Parameters in Task VariantMerged

Hi!Currently in Task Variants you have the Table Task tab, but the thing is that you cannot enter the same table there.For us it was the case that we wanted to include a table task parameter for a task variant that will be available when the table is detail and we can just put in the parent task the table task parameter (which will inherit also in the normal table the parameter, thing that we don't want).Can't we make something that shows already the inherited table in task variants and be able to add table task parameters there?

Improve User Experience by Hiding Badge When Count is ZeroOpen

 Currently, the system displays a "0" in the badge when there are no actions required. While this is functional, it may not be the most user-friendly approach. Displaying a "0" can be confusing or distracting for users, as it indicates there is nothing to be done but still draws attention to the badge.The following template fills the badge value with the number of validation messages or empty when 0.💡To improve the user experience, I suggest that the badge should be hidden entirely when the count is zero. This would offer several benefits: Cleaner Interface: Hiding the badge when no action is required minimizes visual clutter, resulting in a cleaner, more focused interface. Improved Usability: Users would not need to interpret a "0" in the badge. The absence of a badge clearly communicates that no actions are required, which aligns with user expectations in most modern applications. Consistency: This approach is consistent with common design patterns where badges are typically shown only when there is something actionable, making the interface more intuitive. Proposed behavior:When the count is greater than 0: Display the badge with the number of pending actions. When the count is 0: Hide the badge entirely.--The following template hide the badge value when empty or 0.select @badge_value = iif(count(1) <= 0, null, count(1))Consider adding this option as a configurable setting within the subject settings, similar to existing options like "hide badge" and "interval." This would give users more control over how the badge behaves, allowing them to customize their interface based on their preferences.Implementing this change would streamline the user experience and reduce unnecessary distractions, while giving users more flexibility to adjust the behavior according to their needs.

Auto-expand menu groups based on configurable conditionsClosed

Currently, it is not possible to display a menu group expanded by default or based on a specific condition. In this case, when a sub-level item has a badge with a value greater than 0. This feature is desirable because users may otherwise miss pending actions hidden behind collapsed menu items. Expand by more then 0Current behaviour

Apply conditional layout to grid row optionClosed

I want to make some things prominently visible is a grid view, so that the user can not miss it, and only add an icon to explain why. In this case; a strike through when an item is deleted, a reddish background when a user flagged that there is something wrong, so that someone with edit rights can fix it, etc.It would be a small and useful addition to make it possible to apply a style to the entire row at once, else the conditional layout has to be copied for every field.

Message panel as screentype componentOpen

It would be nice to have the abbility to add a statusbar to a screentype, which gives any kind of message you want to show to the user. The message can be retreived from a table/view, but grid or form just does not do the trick to visualize the message like a statusbar could. The main advantage of a statusbar is the limited space it takes up in your screen and that it is in line with many other tools where statusbars are a common visualisation. For my personal use it would be enough to just have 1 textfield in it, but I can imagine it would also be nice to have multiple cells like in a grid, but ofcourse without (visible) headers.When I try to accomplish this with a grid it takes up a lot of space.

Set value of constant lines as columnOpen

In the Business Intelligence module, we can show a constant line in the graph. The value of this constant line is determined in the Software Factory. It would be great if the value of the constant line can be set to a column in the end-application, so the end-user can decide on the value of the constant line. For example, we use the line to set the capacity of an operation. This value can change, and we do not want this to be the responsibility of the developers. It would be even better if this line can somehow be made dynamic. In the example of capacity, it would then show the capacity of the currently selected operation.

Fix to eliminate startup problems, related to menu issuesCompleted

While developing an application we encountered the problem that the Universal GUI would not start because there was no menu linked to the platform of type 'Universal'.I see some possible improvements, to eliminate this problem:Always start the Universal GUI, but show a message if a menu cannot be displayed   Activate all menus in case no menu is specifically assigned to the Universal platform   Add a 'Platform' item to the default menu in SF, where all specific settings per platform can be seen. At the moment, linking a menu to a platform is a bit complicated   A new validation ruleRelated ticket:  8597S

Visual indication of user simulationOpen

For support purposes I have to do daily user simulations in universal. The only visual indication that you are simulating a different user is the user icon in the top right. This introduces a risk of forgetting you were simulating a user. I would love to have the UX/UI team think of a way to make it more visually clear that you are currently simulating a user. A big red bar at the top with simulating user or something like that would work.

Date info popup or tooltip during read modeOpen

Because the data picker is not available in read mode, it is not possible to check the week number and/or day of week.Can a tooltip or popup be added to the date fields that can be shown during read mode?The solution should also work for touch screen devices.

Webgui login page languageCompleted

It would be nice if the login page of the webgui uses the language of the browser settings, instead of using the INI. In any case for Dutch, German, Spanish, English and French.This would be a solution for applications with users from multiple countries.

Change the Search Code shortcut to Ctrl+Enter in the SFClosed

For almost all actions in the SF you can use ctrl+enter to execute/save your changes. However for Code Search this currently is Alt+S. This is counterintuitive and could be more user friendly.

Auto resize per columnOpen

Hi, I believe it is not possible yet to use the auto-resizing for column widths per column yet. You can only enable it for the entire view. However I would like to apply it to a single column of the view. It is something small but it would help to make some of the views clearer and easier to read

Restore the default configuration of a subject (user preference)On the backlog

It's great that the user is able to configure the subject, but unfortunately the user has no option to return to the default configuration. Sometimes we have to reset values in IAM. It would help if the user could just restore the default configuration in the user preference.

Reset everything to default menu optionMerged

I noticed a lot of new user configuration options in the new interface.I think that it would be good to have a menu option with which you can reset one subject or everything in the application to default.

Lookup values in Cube dimensionsMerged

When I make an cube I would like to see the lookup values for related tables in the row and column headers.So that a row is not for customer_id 2387641 but for Jansen Enterprise BV.To accomplish that I now have to create a view that joins the customer table to get the name, use that as a base for my editable cube, and put instead_of triggers on my view to facilitate the edits. This is not really in the spirit of low-code.Can we please get lookup values in the row and column headers of a cube in the Windows GUI and/or in a future Universal implementation?

Control the duration of snackbar messagesOpen

I've noticed that snackbar messages tend to disappear quite quickly, often before the user has enough time to fully absorb the information, especially when the message contains a lot of text. Increasing the size of the message using custom CSS has helped somewhat.However, is there a way to control the duration of snackbar messages? If not, I would like to raise this as an idea.As an alternative solution, it would also be useful if end-users could review previous snackbar messages somewhere.

Universal GUI Keyboard Shortcuts for UniversalOpen

Hi Thinkwise,As most of our pages in our project have been moving to less forms, and for future ideas as we develop with the help of edit in grid and auto save features enabled. We were proposing for an idea for keyboard shortcuts for grids to be implemented the same way we implement them in forms. With this if I type control + shift + plus, in my keyboard add mode will happen. I know currently we can do this only in the windows gui, web gui (if I remember correctly), and universal gui for forms only.Enabling this will be a huge help for our users as they will be working faster within pages with grids only in combination with auto edit and auto save.Grid only pageThis is what CTRL + Shift + ‘+’ can do for now

Enable double-click task execution, for grids in Edit modeClosed

Can you also make the double click function work for grids that are in (auto) edit mode?At least for 'Read Only' fields and when double clicking on the row selector at the left side of each column.It would also be very useful to be able to define a double-click task per column in the grid, whereby the tab_col_from_id is passed to the default procedure of the task.In many cases it is also desirable to be able to disable the zoom action for grids. Average users do not understand what is happening. It would be better if the zoom action was included in the context menu, for those very few times when advanced users make use of it.

Make a pivotgrid scrollableClosed

We have a 2dline chart (see below) that shows values in time. The chart shows a subset of the values in the pivot table (around 1000 rows?). Is this a known limit? Is there a way to scroll in time?

IAM - provide expected Indicium config on registration errorClosed

Hi all,I'm facing the dreaded “Indicium has abandoned me” message from IAM:  Usually it is a case then of just comparing server and database name with the configuration of Indicium in ISS, perhaps running Indicium standalone to find errors.In this case the database is managed by one party, and the web server by another party. I can not just compare the names with the settings, because I don't have access to crucial bits of the infrastructure. What I can do though, is forward the correct information for the parties so they can make the changes. Now when this error is shown, IAM already knows on which server and database it is running. What do you think about having the generic error above extended with a bit of information along these lines:Expected MetaSourceConnection in appsettings.json:“Server”: “db32.mycomp.com\\test",“Database”: “mycomp_dev_iam_prod”,"PoolUserName”: please provide a service account with at least db_owner role“PoolUserPassWord”: please provide the corresponding password, or encrypt it as explained in the docs  Would that help anyone?
