Choose Generate source code full and smart for each code fileClosed

I would like to choose between smart and full generation for each code file. This is because the execution of the index code file takes at least 40 minutes on my production environment, so i want this to be smart - execute only the changed indexes. But for other code files, like views, procedures, tasks, defaults, layouts, contexts, etc i want to be sure that the code i have in the software factory is all deployed to my end product database. In the case that somebody changed, for whatever reason, the code in production. That change is reverted with the code from the software factory. At this moment i need to generate the source code twice. First the full code and copy that to a staging folder. Second i need to generate the code smart and copy the files that must be deployed smart to the staging folder. It would save me time, and a cleaner upgrade process when i can generate the complete package i want to execute on the end product database in one run.

Default to Main tab when clicking Menu-item of an already Open DocumentOpen

One of the great features of the Thinkwise low-code platform in terms of development speed, is also one of the most annoying features from an end user perspective: the concept of Detail Tabs for related tables. It is very challenging to keep the UI clean and understandable when getting more and more related tables. We often have to revert to Views which combine a few tables in order to improve the user experience.Today, one of our users came with a simple, yet effective solution to reduce the end-user feeling of being lost in the jungle of Detail Tabs: whenever you click on a menu-item of an already Open Document the GUI should automatically go to the Main tab of that menu-item, instead of bringing the user back to the Detail Tab of the Detail Tab the user worked in last...NOTE: when clicking on the Open Document itself, I would expect to stay in the Detail Tab, but whenever I try to open the document again from the regular menu and I don’t have a Detail Tab in Add/Edit mode, the GUI must assume I’m done there and wish to start from the Main again. I noticed it doesn’t work like this now in either Windows or Universal GUI.Do you like it? Please vote!

Making Navigation Intuitive in Opened Thinkwise DocumentMerged

While observing some of our users navigate our Thinkwise application we noticed some interesting behavior. After they opened a document via the list bar menu, and executed some action on a detail tab of this document, they wanted to navigate back to the main of that document.The first thing many of them tried was going to the menu and clicking on the opened tab of the openend document. When this does nothing they usually close the open document and retry clicking on the list bar menu item.Apparently users may not instinctively consider using the top tabs to select the main tab of the documentPossible SolutionWhen a document is already active and a user selects the Open Tab for that document, the main of that document should open

Detect the use of mass import/update through GUI in flow.Closed

We have a solution that based on row changes an automatic calculation is triggered.  However when a user uses the mass import/update functionality in the GUI the first insert/update will trigger the automatic calculation. THis increases the risk of a deadlock. Is there a way to detect that a user uses the GUI import/update functionality so the automatic calculation can be turned off temporarely?

Ability to turn on/off mandatory pre-filter groups.Closed

As discussed in below topic. I would like to see the ability to turn on/off mandatory pre-filter groups to deal better with variants and performance when a variant doesn't use the group.

Confirmation on tablesClosed

For tasks you can choose to add a confirmation via the "Ask Confirmation” setting.  I was wondering if there is a possibility to add the same functionality on the subjects too? In our model, there is a cron running that checks some record states. When someone enters a certain record a flow may be activated because of this cron. It would be a nice addition if the user can get a confirmation question before adding to a table to prevent accidental misstakes just like we have in tasks. What are your thoughts about this?

Task to copy rights between objects in SFClosed

When creating a new column in an existing table it would be nice to have a task to copy the right from an already existing column to the new column. This would save time in settings all the rights for new columns which are similar to existing columns.I use columns as an example, but this could be equally useful for prefilters, tasks, task parameters, etc..

Conditional layout for detail tabsClosed

I have a number of detail tabs. I'd like to give the tab a background colour depending on a condition. (So basically the functionality of the conditional layout, but now for tabs.)In this way I can indicate the status of the information in that detail tab and help the user guide towards the tab of interest.Something similar could also be of interest to a form. If a form has multiple fields divided over multiple tabs, and some of these fields are invalid (and have a red background colour), then by colouring those tabs that have an invalid field would help the user in finding these erroneous fields.

Add settings to configure size of image for card listOpen

Currently the size in the universal GUI for images on a card list is fixed at 100 x 100 pixels. On mobile screens this is about a quarter of the screen width, see the attached print screen.I would like to have settings to configure the size of the image for a card list to optimize the configuration of the screen. Edited from here by moderator:@Harm Horstman added to this idea:We make use of card lists more and more, but we like to adjust the size of card list images depending on the subject and the type of images.This is needed to have more options to let applications look more professional like the examples below.  We tried, but were not able to achieve this with custom.cssHopefully it is not to difficult to add some extra options to the card list settings in SF:Size:  Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large     (25 / 50 / 100 / 200px) Border radius: 0 - 50% Download button:  Yes / NoSomething like this:

Ability to create prefilters per user group in IAMOpen

We have a TW application, running at several customer sites.One of the main forms is a view presenting a list of records.I want the possibility to add a default prefilter for an IAM user group. This prefilter will not be predefined in SF because the prefilter could be different per customer.  So this is a consultancy solution. There is IAM, Authorization, User groups, Group preferences, Default prefilters; but here I can only select a default prefilter as created in SF. I need to be able to create a prefilter in IAM, based on a column value.I find something that looks like what I'm searching for, but this is per user and making it ‘default’ does not seem to work. This is in: IAM, Authorization, Users, User preferences, Prefilters. Here I can define a custom prefilter using the ‘prefilter columns’ tab. Only I can't get it to default activate after loading the application. It can be manually activated though, using the ribbon.I would like the same per user group, and the possibility to enable it by default when starting the application (when the form is loaded). Linked question here.

Skip tile in mobile when one tileClosed

When one tile authorised in mobile, the mobile GUI opens the tile menu and you briefly see the menu before the tile opens automatically. I'd rather not see the entire menu but go straight to the one tile, so skip the animaton.

Menu entries availability depending on screensizeOpen

As far as I know this is not possible yet, but similar to breakpoints for screentypes, we would like to see a posibility to have a menu option available or not depending on screen sizes. Some option in a particular menu would be very impractical if not impossible to use on a mobile device like a phone or smaller tablet.In that way we can have users that work on desktops as well as phones having one and the same menu and depending on the screen size might have one or more options dropped, as manipulating a particular table with dozens of fields to be entered  for example on a mobile device might be totally impractical.

Have files generate into the Storage\Model\Branch\ folder structureOpen

Having a named Model version, it will store the generated code files in the Model folder with a subfolder of the version name. (When using “Execute all creation steps”){Storage}\Model\Version_name\Source_code\…When manually clicking the “Generate source code” it seems to ignore the Version name and do store it into Model/Branch{Storage}\Model\Branch\Source_code\…When you generate the IAM model file, it will however put the file into Model/Branch{Storage}\Model\Branch\MODEL_SYNC.sql It would be nice to have it at least always follow the Model/Branch structure, as you are working in a specific branch. This would result in 2 options since Version names are not mandatory. (Same for IAM’s “different branch name”) {Storage}\Model\Branch\Version_name\Source_code\…{Storage}\Model\Branch\MODEL_SYNC.sqlor {Storage}\Model\Branch\Source_code\…{Storage}\Model\Branch\Different_branch_name\MODEL_SYNC.sqlThis will also reduce the risk of accidentally overwriting files in a folder, because one decides to use the same version naming on different branches within the same Model.

Deployment orderOpen

When I deploy an application the order of deployment is;Drop and Deploy tables Drop and Deploy constraints Drop and Deploy indexes.This order doesn’t allow to create referential constraints on unique candidate keys.This would become possible, when all required drops would be ordered separately from the creates. The constraints should be dropped before dropping the indexes, and the indexes should be created before creating the constraints.

Enable user specific Theme picturesOpen

The user want some “me” feel to the product they login to. It would be nice if the user gets an option to upload his/her own image for use as the Theme picture. If none exists it should always revert to the theme setting of the model.

Encrypt/decrypt data from or for other parties using PGP with keysOpen

We receive encytpted data from our partners and want to send them encrypted data.The data is put on a  sftp site or can be reached using an api. We use PGP with a public and a private key.We would like to use a proces flow to get data and encrypt the data or encrypt the data and post it.For this we should be able to define which encrypting method is used and the keys needed for this method. This is not possible with the current DECRYPT and ENCRYPT process flow actions.

Scale taskform back to "no. of columns in form" when layout reveals parametersOpen

When you have set a task to “no. of columns in form” = 2 and your layout is hiding enough parameters on initial call to make it possible to show in 1 column, it will size the window to this. If user input makes the layout show more parameters, it will stay the 1 column format, even though it would benefit for the visual use to make it 2 columns instead of turning it scrollable.It is a better user experience when information is in one window instead of having to scroll to find out there is information there.

Show example of prefilter when creating a new prefilterOpen

When you create a prefilter it would be very helpfull if an example is shown (just like with expression columns). If there is a technical limitation to do it in the query field then add a new field with an example text. And only show this when the column query is empty. Expression columns:  Prefilters currently:

Create mockdata for large text columns - nvarchar (max)Open

It would be useful if the mock data feature could accommodate large text columns.Currently, it is only possible to create a mock data column with more than 4000 characters. When generating mock data that involves large text columns, such as extensive JSON strings or XML files, this limitation proves to be restrictive.The workaround of using a preparation query becomes impractical when dealing with substantial amounts of data that include quotes (e.g., 's Hertogenbosch).

Add action "Change combined filter" for process flowsOpen

In a few cases, use of prefilters and/or normal filter do not entirely suffice for the required functionality. The behaviour of the combined filter will benefit more because it can search for the same values in multiple fields.It would be nice if a process flow also has an action to enter the value in the combined filter.This way we can add some “helper” functionality to make the search more accurate instead of hoping the user will type the enough or complete enough values. Instead it will be handled in the process flow and that will input the complete string in the combined filter.

Ability to start a process flow from the moment of entering data on a field.Completed

Will it be possible to add a new process action that will trigger when a user entered data on a field? For example, after the user entered data in a field it will save automatically:Without action from the user. We can also consider keyboard actions like when user press [tab] after entering data in a field to start a process a process action.What we currently have is Edit Row process action - User has to press save button to start the process action.  Default Procedures - Can consider keystrokes but not possible to combine from process flows.

Identification of messages which are not being usedCompleted

The Software Factory offers a lot of features which help you identify unused items. One that I am currently missing is a tool which informs you of unused messages. Often checks change overtime and message become redundant.It would be a great help if the Software Factory could inform you of unused messages.That way you can clean up these unused messages.
