Bring back hotkey for combined filter (search)Merged

In the Windows GUI we were able to use CTRL-G to put our cursor in the combined filter (search).We would love to have this feature in Universal, where the hotkey would take you to the (nearest) combined filter for the current subject.

index optimizerOpen

When upgrading the platform to 2026.1, we waited for around two hours in total (SF and IAM on DEV) for the TSF optimizer to finish rebuilding the indexes. This was even after old branches/applications were removed in SF and IAM the day before to speed up the upgrade. At one point, we saw the slow_query_log index being rebuilt, where fragmentation was only 0.1%, containing over 5 million records. Our idea is twofold:Parameterize or hardcode the index optimization so that only indexes with a fragmentation percentage above a given threshold are rebuilt. Allow configuration in the Deployer to specify whether indexes need to be optimized. We already have a nightly job that performs this, so we would prefer to let that run outside office hours.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerCompleted

As explained in Adding extra files to Universal GUI container | Thinkwise Community, the current Universal GUI container doesn’t support adding custom html files (like Screen components | Thinkwise Documentation or Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI | Thinkwise Community). This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount).

Bring back Excel-style filtering in cubesOpen

We would like to have an Excel-style filter in cubes, in the same way it works in grids.This is causing confusion with the users because the pivot grid in Universal looks so similar to a regular grid. Currently the only option is to open the filter pop-up, go to the column and use ‘in’, this is not really a viable alternative.

Drag-and-drop sorting in menu for Open DocumentsOpen

Hi everyone,I would like to propose a quality-of-life improvement: the ability to manually reorder menu items in Open Documents and Favorites using drag-and-drop.Why this helps: Better overview: Group related tabs and documents together based on your current task. Higher efficiency: Keep your most-used favorites at the very top for quick access. Cleaner workspace: Less time spent searching through static lists. It’s a small UX tweak that would make daily navigation in the Software Factory a lot smoother.Let me know what you think! Upvote if you agree.

Search and open documents always visible on top of menuPlanned

Can the search and open document always be visible on top, also when you are scrolling down.In Windows GUI, the search is at least always visible, in Universal GUI all disappears when scrolling down in the menu

Allow deeplinking to specific recordOpen

We’d like to have deep linking available directly in the Software Factory (and ideally IAM).In end‑user applications you can already deep link to a specific record via a process flow, but this isn’t possible in SF itself. This makes it harder to point colleagues to the exact place in the model when discussing issues or reviewing work.Why this would help:You can share a link that opens the exact process flow, control procedure, task or table you’re talking about, which makes collaboration much smoother. We already pass deep links around in Teams for process flows and error screens, so having this supported in SF would make that consistent.  Reviewers and new team members can jump straight to the right place without navigating through multiple screens. It becomes easier to keep documentation up to date guides and runbooks can simply link to the correct SF item instead of describing long navigation steps. It also helps prevent misunderstandings during development, because everyone opens the exact same object and version instead of possibly looking at different branches or outdated definitions.

Simplify IAM User Management for Customer Access through End ApplicationPartially completed

As a developer I want to simplify the management of IAM users within my end application,so that customer access to their data can be administered more efficiently, and user creation and permission assignment in IAM are automated. We have an application that we will make accessible to customers so they can view and retrieve their own data.Therefore, users need to be created in IAM with the appropriate permissions.I would like to simplify this process. I want to be able to provide (a JSON file for example) which users I have, their attributes, and the groups they belong to, and have IAM handle the process automatically.Currently, I need to figure out which IAM APIs are available and set up a mechanism to handle this. This is time-consuming and error-prone, so I think it would be ideal to develop standard functionality to optimize this process.

Improve Model Insight to same level or better as Windows GUI's "Path Location"Working on it!

During development I regularly use the Windows GUI to find relevant information regarding screens, columns, parameters, etc. with the Alt + F1 combination (Path Location). Even though the Universal GUI has “Model Insight”, it is lacking many things the other option is giving.I think it is not the intent of ThinkWise to keep the need for using a different GUI to make your Universal GUI product complete. This idea is to make the “Model Insight” improve its usability and hopefully remove the need for a fall back GUI.Current issues or features missing that I am aware of:References more than 1 level deep, do still show the level 1 reference; References more than 1 level deep, do not show table / variant information; Unable to get info when a grid has no records to click on; No context information (Detail, Master, etc.); No Tab Control (What Detail group is being used); No Domain information; No Task name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; No Report name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; Lookup popups give no information, it still show the column/parameter of what it is a lookup on; No Translations.

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Completed

In the Web GUI it was possible to use “Select all” and when activating a task it would ask if you wanted the records on the page or all records of all pages. Please add this also in the Universal and in addition make it work with the Multi Select XML parameter, as this popup did not seem to happen in that case.

Look-up dropdown - indication when there are more optionsOpen

When a look-up control is set to suggestion, the dropdown of the lookup only shows the first 8 results. But in fact there could be a lot more results. This is not clear to the user. Please add a visual indication for the user when there are more results. Preferably when clicking on the indication, it opens the lookup popup.

Make "Code difference" task always available for conflicts on Control Procedure with same nameOpen

Currently task “Code difference” has been disabled for Control Procedures with same name, same baseline, updated in both branches.As we have a lot of these situations it would be very helpful if we easily could compare both code-files and make decision.So please always enable the task in case the object-type and object-name is equal.

Show barcode keyboard buttonCompleted

We have deployed an application for use on a ZEBRA scanner device.The application functions smoothly and intuitively, with one exception.It is designed around barcode scanning, and in over 95% of cases, the process can be completed simply by scanning barcodes. To support this workflow, the SuppressBarcodeKeyboard setting is enabled (Yes), which hides the on-screen keyboard.However, this has a side effect: users are unable to manually enter codes using the keyboard. This becomes problematic when barcodes are either inaccessible to the scanner or damaged.To address this, we would like to add an action button within the barcode control that allows users to activate the keyboard when needed.Something like this:We hope this is possible.Alternatively, is there another workaround you would recommend?

Layout Process Flow MonitorOpen

The new debug center looks great, but we would like to see some adjustments to the layout of the process flow monitor so that it can better assist us in resolving errors. Resolving issues in Process Flows is often very time-consuming. The process flow monitor we had in the Windows GUI wasn’t ideal either, but it still often allowed us to locate issues more effectively.We hope it is not to much effort to come to a layout more like this...Key focus points: Make the most efficient use of screen space wherever possible, assuming that nearly all developers have at least an HD display Indicators showing which actions were not successful  Duration of actions in milliseconds, highlight slow ones Type of action with symbol Display associated database event(s) per action as well

Feedback regarding the new ticket layout in TCPWorking on it!

Good improvement that tickets which require user action are only counted for the badge now and are default sorted on top.   Please add the ‘Product’ field (Universal/SF/IAM/etc.) back to the grid, this helps with finding an issue when you don’t remember the title.   After executing the ‘Annulering beoordelen’ task, an issue stays visible with status ‘Opgelost’ while the prefilter ‘Gesloten tickets verbergen’ is active. For example ticket 14568i.   ‘Activiteit’ and ‘Commentaar’ are a bit confusing/redundant: In ‘Activiteit’ I see the whole conversation, but the Add button doesn’t work (all fields are read-only/hidden). My expectation was that I could add a ‘Commentaar’ line here. In ‘Commentaar’ I only see a small part of the conversation. For example messages that are written when the issues switches status between 'In behandeling' and 'Reactie gewenst' are missing.   The default screentype could be improved if it shows the form below/next to the grid. So you could see the ‘Toelichting’ when browsing through the issues without extra clicking. I am currently using the Master-detail screentype myself. If this is changed, a bit smaller grid height would be appreciated too.   When I use the ‘Kopieren’ button to create a new ticket, I cannot edit the ‘Toelichting’.

Dynamically set custom display type of tasks in contextOpen

I think it would be nice if you could change whether a task is placed in the overflow or a primary action based on data of the row.There are a lot of tables with a large number of tasks. Being able to hide tasks in the context is good, but sometimes I don’t want to fully disable a task, just guide the user with tasks they are most likely to use and tasks that are seldomly used in certain states.

Better look-up when changing screen typeOpen

The change screen type lookup on subject when in a application, only shows the name of the screen type: Problem is you don’t get any information on what you are selecting. And you can select a screen type that does not allow you to change screen types. Thus you have to go to IAM remove the screen type and try another. If the lookup provided more info you actually make a calculated decision instead of a best guess when changing screen types. Something like this:

Input length restriction for numeric/integer fields (similar to varchar behavior)Open

In a current customer project, the customer indicated an issue with how numeric and integer fields handle input length restrictions.At the moment, when a numeric or integer field is configured with a maximum of, for example, 6 digits, users are still able to enter more than 6 digits. This results in a validation error message such as: “Artikel nr heeft teveel cijfers”However, the customer expects the behavior to be consistent with varchar fields. For varchar fields (for example varchar(6)) users are prevented from entering more than 6 characters in the first place.Requested improvement:Align the behavior of numeric and integer fields with varchar fields, users are prevented from entering more digits than the configured maximum length, instead of receiving an error message afterward.

New unique constraint validationOpen

When you make an existing column in a table mandatory (and no default value is set), you get a very helpful validation warning you to setup the data migration for this column.When you create a unique index on an existing column (or set of columns), no validation will be shown.It would be nice to have a warning in the validations list to show the developer that this could lead to issues.
