SF model.dat converterOpen

Currently it's not possible to import a model.dat export into a newer version of the SF. First you need to upgrade your source SF to the version of the target SF and then do the export and import. However for doing a quick export and import between different SF environments you do not always want to do an upgrade of the source SF. A work around is to do the same steps on a local installation. This is however time consuming if you want to do this multiple times for different source or target versions.Wouldn't it be great to have a tool that converts your model.dat file to any higher SF version? This would save a lot of time. A separate tool would already be great but having the import function of the model.dat in the SF doing the conversion for you would be even better.

Alternative for Alt F1 (location) in universalClosed

One function I use daily is Alt F1 in the windows gui. To retrieve the table name, reference name, screen type etc. When working in universal I tend to have the windows gui on a 2nd screen to use Alt F1 on the windows gui when trying to locate something from the universal gui. Please add some sort of equivalent of this in Universal gui.

Allow IAM/SF download of hotfixes using indiciumMerged

Since sometime we have the option to see the available hotfixes. But you still have to download them manually. It would be very helpful if there was the option to add a task in the hotfixes menu. On executing this task indicium get's a signal to download the missing hotfixes which can then be deployed from the hotfixes menu.

Fill out Unit test attributes when adding from control procedureOpen

When adding a new unit test in the detail tab page of a control procedure, it would be nice when the Unit test type, Object type, Control procedure and Subroutine/table/task etc is already filled out. That way, we only need to provide a name and description for the unit test, which speeds up the process of adding unit tests.

Use a company/project name instead of "Universal"Open

After updating Universal GUI I have to change the index.htm <title> to my company name. Update all splash images and favicons. We want one universal name for my application “Master Data” instead of “Universal” Is it possible to use the projectname in system messages (like “A new version of Universal is out 🎉” translation and with “A new version of Top Bakkers Master Data” is out, UPDATE NU” And, of course, use favicon and plashimages from TSF/database? You re-create all JS and CSS references with a build/Git version. I understand it but when Thinkwise use 1 static name, with static references to their CSS, JS code files all customers can create their own custom references in index.htm and don’t have te rename all code and title ;-)

Ability to place a checkbox in a MessageOpen

When giving a message to a user, commenly you want to give the user either a Positive and a Negative option; or Yes / No. Introducing more than two buttons may overwhelm the user and could lead to them incorretly making a choice that has consequences that he/she may or may not understands.Having the ability to add a checkbox to a message can help the user in allowing them to check the box and explaining the functionality of it. Many applications and web browsers already do it that way, one example is shown under here:Message popup with checkbox optionThe checkbox should be mappable to a process variable when used in a Process flow - Process action Show message. This way we can obtain the state and process the chosen option accordingly.

Show a preview of the paths used in the manifest when using the deployerOpen

When using the deployer you have multiple paths to set for the upgrade. If one path is wrong you go back to square one. A lot of time and frustration could be saved if a simple preview of the actual paths used would be shown. This way you can fix any errors instead of trial and error.

Change application title in browser tabMerged

It would be nice if there was some way to edit the application title in the browser tab.Currently, the browser tab title is always set to “Universal”:Browser tab titleAfter doing some research, I learned that this title is set in the index.html file in section:<head> <title>Universal</title></head>I can see that the value is indeed set to “Universal”, but changing this has no effect (for a short time I see my custom title, which is then replaced with “Universal” again).

Building a cube view in the SF the same way as in the end applicationMerged

I would like to build a cube view in the SF the same way as in the end application by drag & drop fields as row, column, data or filter. Now I'm creating an example cube view in the end application and fill the cube fields the same way in the SF. A preview on the development database would make it even better.

Add "Clear", "Filter" buttons to Filter formOpen

Please add the buttons below the Filter form as it did with the Web and Windows GUI. Namely to “Clear” the form by emptying all fields and the “Filter” option to only filter when requested instead of when you move to another field in the form.This last one could be made an option in the screen component as some might like it filtering after entering ever single value.Currently: Universal GUI versionWindows GUI example: Windows GUI version

Execute Upgrade Script really at the end of an upgradeDeclined

ProblemI add an extra element to a domain. Then I need to change some data in the table and set some records to this new element. So I write an upgrade script and assign it to after. However the upgrade fails since I am trying to add data that’s not conform the check constraints. This is caused by the fact that the check constraints get updated later then the upgrade script get executed.SolutionI would like to be able to execute an upgrade script at the end of an upgrade, not at the end of the step upgrade. I find it confusing that an upgrade script that is assigned as after, gets exectuded during an upgrade.

Generate defaults layouts and contexts on adding expression fieldMerged

I want to share an idea for the SF. When creating an expression field you need to generate the default, layout and context again. That takes a lot of time. Can we have a function that this can be done on demand for 1 specific subject without running the complete generation process. I would save serious time.

Azure Devops IntegrationMerged

Hi,We work in Azure Devops with workitems that represent changes to our product. It would be great if we could link changes in the SF to Azure Devops workitems! For instance when a code change is made or the model is updated, a workitem nr is filled in and validated in Azure Devops? And that we are able to search the code base and model on changes that are made for a specific workitem!Code reviews can be linked to a workitem. And it would even be possible to identify which workitems are solved in a specific Branche or  version! This would save us time and help us to keep track on changes made to our system.   Thanks in advance,Karin

Universal Task popup width - listen to model settingsMerged

We have a Task with a ‘signature’ parameter, with the functionality that the user can make his sign on a touch screen. We changed the signature parameter field width to 500px, but the popup in Universal doesn't get bigger. It would be nice that Universal listen to this width parameter (like Windows does).

Calendar component fills date during navigationClosed

When using the calendar component, the GUI automatically fills in the date as you navigate through the different months (buttons in the top right corner).In this specific case, the default triggers immediately with an error message.Ideally, we would like this message to appear only after the user has made an actual selection, when they click on a date/day.

Pre-populated filter formOpen

We are looking at 2 data have applications where we rely heavily on the filter options and filter-form functionality. When you have a filter-form the use of pre-filters is not user friendly, as they are not visually synced..  I would really love to see them visually synced (so filter form shows what is pre-filtered) pre-populate the filter form, so you always see what is filtered out. B would be my preferred solution, as it enables you give a default filter to the form that a user can easily change without getting the full load..  this is what usually happens when they first turn off a pre-filter. (depending of course on the behaviour of your pre-flter group.

Ability to copy translation from pathClosed

When using ALT+F1 in the GUi it is possible to see information about a tabel, column etc., etc. like shown below.In the object panel the translation of an item, in this case a column, is shown.For documentation purposes the posibilty to copy/paste this particular tekst would come in handy many of times. As far as I know this is currently not possible, and manuallty typing the text is the way to go.. Whether adding the possibility of copying the text in this part of the screen, or adding a field in the right part doesn't matter.

New feature | Themes (don't) show container tab iconsClosed

In the new SF version the tile image is removed as described in the release notes: Releases 2022.1 | Field Tile image removedPart of this change is also the possibility on the theme level to disable the display of icons on "Document tab" or "Container tab". When disabling icons at the container level (Themes > General > Tabs > Icon), icons which are assigned as screen components tab icons remain visible.It seems obvious to me that your choice of theme should override this, agree?

Double-click gridcell task in uneditable fields in combination with auto-editOpen

Starting a task with a double-click in a grid cell is a very nice new possibility!! In grids lists we have read-only columns containing icons that say something about the status of the line. Consider possible errors found (in degrees) or whether there are linked documents or notes present.We have created tasks that allow a user to launch floating screens to get an explanation of the error or call up documents or notes. With the new double-click in grid cell capability we can in principle eliminate many tasks from the standard taskbar, making the screens simpler in the user experience. However, all grid lists are in auto-edit by default and then double-clicking in uneditable cells does not yet.We want this possibilty to be supported.

Filter - Hide non-fillable fieldsCompleted

Is it possible to hide fields as they can't be filled by users. Example the filtercomponent: It is only possible to fill the "till” field as a field is Between (Tussen) or Not Between (Niet tussen). It changes as it is fillable but it can better be hide when not fillable. It also for the look-ups they invite a user to use thefield or look-up
