Add templates with modification options to Code OverviewCompleted

Changing and finding certain objects currently is a hassle. If the template is not the object name you have to go to Code Overview find the object, go back to functionality find the control procedure and change the template. When multiple templates are assigned you might have to repeat this process several times. Or when you have to change multiple objects on the same main object (table/task etc.) Code Overview is a perfect way to get insight in the available objects. Why not give the option to modify the templates directly on this screen, or have a link to the functionality screen? This would save a lot of time and clicking between screens. This also makes programming easier since I often have to change the trigger, ctx, layout etc.. on the same object.

Roles settings visible at various places in SFMerged

My idea is to make role settings visible at various places in the Software Factory. This will make it easier to set authoristations while implementing new functionality.Like below in the colums settings. Same idea, for all contexts like it is done for 'Translations’

Improve use of files and folders in process actionsOn the backlog

hi,Can you please standardise the use of folders and files in process action? Relative or absolute path, with or without a backslash, with or without storage location.. Or at least update the documentation with working examples.Write action file: define filename without base folderwrite file action A readfile action: requires an absolute path, no use of storage location in filename:readfile action An unzip action: uses storage location, but no backslash behind the target folder name:unzip actionThe zip action: no storage location, and a slash behind the foldernamezip action

Show lookup deactivated by default on a view referenceClosed

Currently when creating a reference the lookup checkbox is activated by default. For a table this makes sense. For a view I believe this should not be the default. From a performance perspective it's better to directly get the value you need instead of getting the ID and using a lookup to get the value. When using a lookup on a view this should be a careful decision instead of the default.

GUI - 'drop context'Closed

Quite often after applying a filter, or modifying a record in a filtered list, I get the offer to open the record in a new document. Great, and really helpful.The drawback is that I almost as often like to reuse that document and apply another filter (it's open anyway, so why close it and open it again?)That's a no-go of course: invisible for the users at home, the GUI has cocooned that single record in its own context, and any changes in the applied filter will only make that record become invisible.To me it is not quite clear what indicator the GUI gives to let me know that this record is the result of “this record can not be shown due to applied filters, open in new document”. If it is not too much of a trouble, I'd propose these extensions to the GUI:An indicator that this record is cocooned in its own context so that it is clear to the user why nothing is shown after applying a filter where results are expected A button to release the context, so that the document is available for general use so that it is not necessary to close one document and ctrl+click to open a duplicate document and wait for it to open

Possibility to select no rows in a treelistClosed

Good day,We would like to have a possibility exists to select no row in a treelist (webGUI) Explanation:Right now, when a user opens a screen, the first row is selected by default.This is not always desirable for our customers. Let me explain this in a use case: Project structure: a tree listThe + button at the left side creates a new project one level beneath of the project that is currently selected.However, because the first row is selected by default, it is never possible for customers to create a project on the same level as the project that is currently selected. Kind regards,Ronald

Hide add button in row entryClosed

hi,Is it possible to have a layout procedure to hide the add button when adding rows in a grid?The setting for Add row visibility is Always, using the @add_button_type = 2 /* hidden */ is not working.Thanks!

Message popup design Web GUIClosed

Hi,When calling a message with the “exec tsf_send_message” in a control procedure (i.e. default) you get a nicely styled message box. styled popup messageHowever, calling this function again when a popup is already in use (i.e. task) it seems that the message doesn’t use the styles like normally but instead uses the browser’s alert message.showing message while task is active uses browser’s alertI want my messages to have a unified style when calling them with “exec tsf_send_message”. Can this be fixed?

Add values to cube filter which need to be excluded, instead of only includedClosed

At this moment you can only add values to the cube filter which need to be included in the cube. If you want to exclude one value from a range of values, this becomes much harder. It would be handy to make it so that you can also enter the value which needs to be excluded from the cube. Best scenario would be to make it so that you can configure this the same way as a prefilter for example. You might want to filter specific values based on the cube view that’s enabled and filter other values (or not filter at all) when another cube view is enabled.

Increase the zone size in which you can modify the width/height of neighbouring screensClosed

It is possible to have multiple screens next to each other in the tsf, e.g. to display the Roles screen next to the Runtime configurations screen. When I want to increase the size of the Roles screen and consequently shrink the Runtime config screen, the bar that allows me to do this is 1 pixel in width/height. This makes it hard to get a hold of the bar. I think it would be a quality of life upgrade if this bar would become wider, like the bar that separates two details for example, as this makes it much easier to modify the width of neighbouring screens.

Preview screen typeClosed

When you (re) design a screen, it is possible to display a preview of this screen in the Software Factory. As shown in the image below, this is now only possible for a table. Perhaps it is an idea to make this possible for a variant of a table with its own specific assigned screen type. This can now only be displayed in a end product.

Improving communication to users in password expired screenClosed

When password is expired, users are shown the screen below:This text does not provide the user with a clear image of the case at hand, and how to solve it:It is mentioned that the password is expired, the password needs to change, and the password is forgotten. User is asked to change the password ‘below’, while ‘below’ no fields are shown to change the password. As this function will be used often by Zeeman users (password expires everey 2 months for some 8000 users), optimization is needed. My suggestion is to change the text, or make this adaptable to customer wishes.

Alternating line color plus vertical border lines in gridsClosed

I finally managed to set alternating row colors in for grid. The documentation on this topic is not very easy to understand. Reference is made to the "the 'line' component". In the end it became clear to me that it is about the color setting of the grid borders, which must be set to Transparant. (See: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/themes#grid) This also means that it is not possible to set alternating line colors and simultaneously display vertical lines in a grid.I wish I could set alternating line colors with white as the base color and light gray as the alternating color. I also want to be able to make vertical lines visible in a different shade of gray. In this way, the contents of columns that are next to each other can be better distinguished from each other.Hopefully you can make a little change in the Windows- and Web GUI to enable this option, and update the documentation.

Collaboration updates ideaClosed

Like the online version of Office365 you can now see when someone else makes changes in your documents. For example in excel (cells), word documents or a page in onenote you'll see real-time changes made by others (or yourself if you open a document twice):

Context menu (Right-click) in Cube should name Filter (and Search)Closed

Inside the cube I would like to filter from time to time to only see records that I'm interested in. I can use the short-key Ctrl+R and the Filter option is available through the Top-bar, but the option to filter is not available when I right-click inside the cube. I would like to see Filter (and search) clickable through this menu.

Print CSS to enable the ability to print grids on universalOpen

In the web-technology there is an option to create a print css file, that is used when you print a page.Most browsers co-operate with this feature:<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" />My suggestion is to enable this option and in that css file to hide the taskbar, combined filter, tabpages. And make it a bit optimized to print a grid. This way you can quickly print a grid to a PDF (or actually to paper).

Multi-row one by one processflow executionOpen

hi,It’s possible to start a task for more than 1 selected row in a grid. Please make it also possible to start a processflow for more than 1 selected row.More details here, where the multi row execution seems a fair solution for this. But that is a good solution if you want to do stuff with multiple rows in 1 processflow. I just want 1 processflow handle 1 selected row at the time, but when selecting multiple rows, it should execute the processflow one by one. As a processflow starts with a table task in this case, please add support for this so we can implement it like we can with tasks.Thank you!

Universal GUI - elegant session timeoutOpen

As discussed in the thread below the Universal GUI currently doesn't handle session timeout's in an elegant way. If you leave a Universal GUI open it could happen that when you return to it your session has timed out. As a user you only experience this then you try to manipulate something (save data in a form that is on auto edit in our case).Wouldn't it be more desirable to run a function after the Universal GUI comes into foces that checks if the current session is still valid? That way you could handle session expiration gracefully by redirecting users to the login window before they start using the application.There is a function for this inside of react. https://reactnavigation.org/docs/function-after-focusing-screen/Previous discussion/question:

Search / Combined filter should allow easy disabling of Pre-filtersOpen

The Search functionality of Universal is a great way to find specific records. This search is performed against all records in the Subject. However, only the records that match the pre-filters are displayed. The GUI does not inform the user of records found behind active pre-filters. Desired solution:In case the Search does find records which are HIDDEN behind Pre-filters: trigger a similar Snackbar message as triggered when creating a record that does not match active pre-filters and when the user clicks SHOW: make sure to open a Zoom screen and show all Records that match the Search query, including the one previously hidden behind a pre-filter.

Use other hotkeys for Add & Delete records (ctrl+ / ctrl -)Open

ProblemWe try to provide our users with as much data on the screen as possible, however since the Compact Mode of the Universal GUI is not compact enough. We advise our users to adjust the zoom level of their browser to 90%, however when they use the popular short key ctrl & -, they get a prompt asking if they want to delete the record they are in. This issue also arises when an end user tries to show something on a larger screen with a different resolution (eg. on a large tv screen for a presentation)SolutionSo since ctrl & - and ctrl & + are popular short key, do not use them as “thinkwise short key”. Instead maybe use ctrl & alt & - or something similar.

Saving filters and sharing with other usersCompleted

Recently Universal got the filter form, this gives users a powerful way of filtering data. Our users would like to be able to save their created filters and share these with other users. This gives users a way of creating filters they often use without having to ask developers to create prefilters.

Date/DateTime filter for UniversalCompleted

As a developer, I want the filtering capabilities of Universal to be identical as the filtering capabilities of the Windows GUI.The Windows GUI accepts form filters and combined filters for date and datetime fields. These work as expected. Universal however does not show these types of filters, as the capability is not implemented.

Users unite! Upvote to get export import and Mass update next Universal update.Completed

The Export functionality (aswell as Import and Mass update) is currently scheduled somewhere Q1 2021 but does not have a set sprint and release date yet.Our company users are using “export to Excel” every day and this functionality is highly desirable and should be implemented before others in my opinion. ThinkWise suggest creating an idea, this idea, for it and create a lot upvotes. Help! Vote!

Ability to the run a deployment in the deployment center via Indicium servicetierOpen

As an appendix on a previous idea i reported (generating a deployment package based on indicium).I would like to deploy and sync iam via indicium in the deployment center instead of directly connecting to the database server locally.

Drag and drop with keyboard shortcutsOpen

Hi, based on an old question drag and drop options with keyboard shortcuts:How wonderful it would be if we can enhance the current drag and drop feature, with some configurable parameters? Now you can only link 1 task with the dnd action, but with some extra keys you can link unlimited tasks.Like in Windows when you copy files with CTRL+drag and move with SHIFT+drag or create a shortcut with ALT+dragFor example, we want to use this in an inventory list, when dragging items with CTRL gives a popup with parameters to fill, and normal dragging will skip the popup and use defaults.So until AI already knows what the task should be, and there’s no need of shortcuts, we can use this feature to make the customers happy :-)
