Clear menu searchbar in Universal GUI after clicking a document in 2026.1 Software FactoryMerged

When I used to search in the WindowsGUI Software Factory, I could search ‘sub’, click Subjects and the menu would open back up since the searchfield in the menu got cleared after searching. This was very useful when you need to navigate quickly through the Software Factory.Unfortunately this is handeled differently in the UniversalGUI Software Factory and I now need to manually clear my search everytime I want to be able to open another document.

Open start objects after switching branchOpen

I have several start objects in the SF, since I always use the same 5 screens. However after switching branches I have to manually open them. To me it would make more sense if the start objects are started once again when switching branches.

Navigation buttons "previous" "next" for detailsOpen

A use case that happens ins many cases is where you have the grid with a detail tab with the form and other elements. For the user It's quite cumbersome to be going back and forth every time he wants to see the details of a couple of items in a row. I really miss the previous and next navigation buttons in the detail, where you can jump easily to the next or previous item in the context without the need to go back.

Prevent errors by not allow a dimension and a value in a cube view refer to the same fieldNew

At the moment, it is possible in a cube view to define a dimension and a value that both refer to the same field in the underlying table. This is not logical, and a cube in which a value field and a dimension field both reference the same table field results in errors when opening the cube in the Universal GUI.My suggestion would be to implement a check constraint in the cube_field table of the model database to prevent this.

SF and IAM dark modeCompleted

I really like the dark mode in Microsoft's Office products, SQL Management Studio, the Universal GUI and macOS. Since major software vendors are integrating a dark mode, and because it's easy on the eyes in certain environments, I'd like to be able to launch the Software Factory and IAM with a dark mode too.

Variable row height gridCompleted

It would be nice if the height of a row in the grid adjusts to the contents of specific columns, especially useful when wrapping text in multiline grid fields.

Use Subflows in regular Process Flows tooCompleted

Subflows are a great addition to the Platform in order to re-use parts of a Process Flow, instead of having to model the same set of Process Actions in multiple Process Flows. Subflows improve the re-usability of components, therefore we are eager to use this concept in regular Process Flows too!Can this functionality be extended to be available not only for System Flows, but also for regular Process Flows?

Support for PostgreSQL as RDBMS typeCompleted

The Thinkwise platform currently supports SQL Server, Oracle and DB2, three widely used RDBMS. According to Statista, they are indeed quite a popular choice and suited for large enterprise-level applications we make with Thinkwise.PostgreSQL (Postgres) is a open source RDBMS unlike the others, that there are no license fees, is highly extensible, and is used over all the world, even by major companies.I would love to see the interest by the Community for the Thinkwise platform to support PostgreSQL.

Web connection tag(s)Completed

A simple idea, but we’ve encountered a situation where a model tag for web connections could be useful.In our situation, we’ve defined tags in the description of the web connection endpoint and in the description of its input parameters. I can imagine that having tags available at all detail levels could also be useful in the future.

UGUI: Task/Report/Prefilter group sub menuCompleted

On subjects with many tasks, it is hard for the user to find the right task in the universal GUI. It is also impossible to show the tasks with name on the screen because it will never fit (and we don't want to put alsmost everything in the overflow menu).Adding a task group doesn’t really help since it only creates a splitter. Please add support for task-group sub menu to the universal GUI so that we can create a drop down with tasks. Example (this subject even has more tasks in the overflow menu and hidden by context):

Set control to combo when creating domain elementsCompleted

When creating a new column with domain elements you have to set the control to a type that can work with domain elements (like combo). If the control is not combo lookups using this domain won’t work properly in universal. However, why would you want to use domain elements without combo (or the other options like radio button and checkbox)? I would argue combo is the most used option. There is a validation for this, but I would opt to setting the value to combo by default, and the user can always deviate from this. To make the SF user friendlier and less complex. When you add a domain element and the control is empty set the control to combo instead.

Copy application should set "Sequence no" to max + 10Completed

When creating DEV/ACC applications in the IAM, it’s mainly a copy of already existing applications to have the authorizations already in place.As we usually have the (in our case the 2) ‘default application’ on the top, it would like to keep them at the top and newly added applications should always be on the bottom.Suggestion to do a MAX on the 'order_no’ and add 10 to it in the default when copying the application.

Collapse and expand grid rules with multiline fields in UniversalCompleted

When you have (html) text fields included in a grid, you will normally only see part of the (html) text field. It is very convenient for an end user when it is possible to switch between expanded and collapsed lines in the grid at the push of a button according to their own needs.Collapsed then gives the existing situation with a compact line per record in the grid.Unfolded shows the lines with the space needed per line to fully display the text field (or text fields if there are more) in a grid.In this case, a fixed line height does not need to be modelled.Simply folding and unfolding according to the end user's own needs is sufficient.

Find and reuse screen typeCompleted

If a model uses many screen types, it takes much more time to find an existing and applicable screen type for a new table than to create a new one. I can’t search for something like a screen with the list on the left, the form on the right, no tabs, with filters, and no tasks. This means that the number of screen types continues to grow, which negatively affects maintainability and the consistency of the user interface. It would help for example, if I could click through a list of designs/screen layouts.

Automatically open filter popup when using "Start Empty with Filter" (Universal)Completed

Within Thinkwise, when the “start empty with filter” option is enabled in the Subject menu, the Windows GUI shows an empty screen when opening the form and immediately displays a popup with filter options.I am currently working for a customer who would like this behavior as well. In the old application, it works exactly the same as in the Windows GUI.I would like this to work in the same way in Universal: opening the screen should immediately show the filter popup. If this is not possible, I would like to have a process flow action available that can open/activate the filter popup.

Could the user who triggered the query be added to the slow query log in IAM please?This would help when a specific user complains about performance so you could zoom in on his/her queries only.

Assign theme in IAM to Application (instead of User Group or User)Open

Currently it’s only possible to add a theme to a “User” or a “User Group”.In our situation we have a theme for an application and platform.As we also have a lot of user groups it's quite a lot of work assigning the same theme to all user groups on all platforms (for our full DTAP we also have 4 IAM’s)So please make it possible to assign a theme on application level also add the possibility to differentiate on platform and set a default menu.Functionality can be placed as a detail tab under “General settings” at the application in IAM

Determine filter condition in "Change filters" process actionWorking on it!

When using “Change Filter” in a process flow it always reverts to “Equals”, it would be more useful if the filter condition could be changed, to  “Contains” for instance.Also, the Docs article on the subject contradicts itself on this matter:Filter values on columns of a specific subject can be set with this process action. It can be indicated for each column which filter condition and which filter value must be used.However: The filter value that must be set on the column in question as an equal to filter condition. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Extend Excel-style filtering by search fieldCompleted

For filtering in specific columns Thinkwise has a great solution: you can easy filter in columns by clicking on the head of the column. This is Excel-style filter is quite similar to Excel. Within Excel there is an additional functionality which I like a lot and which I think would also be nice as functionality in Thinkwise: you can type into a search-field in the same small pop-up to filter the column. By that it is also possible to filter on a string which is not in front of the records in the column. What do you think about it, would that function be useful?

Please make this available ASAP (MoSCoW - should)  Also for other type of fields (not checkbox, date)Priority order: checkbox, combo box, date, other

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Working on it!

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.

Changing standard size of the pop-up screenClosed

A number of my clients have asked me if it is possible to make the size of the pop-up screens bigger. I understand that this is not yet the case. So now they must click on the https://maximize button. It would be nice to have the possibility to size the pop-up screen in the SF.

Pivot grid zoom in - normal grid functionalityDeclined

When you double click on a pivot grid cell, you get a popup grid zoomed in on the aggregated rows.This popup grid cannot be controlled by the developer (except for hiding fields). We would like the possibility to setup this grid like every other grid, thus specify screentype, add tasks, add details, etc.Basically the popup grid should use the grid as specified in the subject (variant) that is used for the pivot grid.
