Editing roles from model rightsOpen

I would like to be able to edit rights on an easier manner.Lets give the situation of an application which exists for a while (lets say 2 years). Alot of roles are already defined and i need to add a column to a table.This table i used in 20 roles. In model rights i have the ability to see that the table is used in these 20 roles but i do not have the ability to edit these roles from my search. Instead i have to copy every role one by one to the Roles screen to edit the table. I would love to able to just mass update some role which contain the table and update them to give acces to the new column all at once.

Disable change detection when browser runs in backgroundOpen

Currently, change detection and badges continue to be refreshed when a user is running the browser in the background and is not actively working in it. Can we somehow check the browser and see if it is being used at all and thus needs to be refreshed?

Visual indication model is loading.Open

When you open the Universal GUI for the first time, or after an update I assume the full model is loaded, this can take up to a few seconds where you are staring at a white screen with not visual indication that there is actually something happening. This is quite unwanted, especially in situations where connections are slower. I would like to see a visual indication (like windows) showing that something is happening.

Upgrade code with a new functionClosed

Within the functionality you can add a piece of code before, during and after a upgrade script, this is really usefull with data converisons, really like the functionality.But what I am missing is when I add a new function and need this function in the data conversion there is no place I can do this except for the manual script. But the manual script I have to delete after upgrading, otherwise this will be executing every upgrade.It would be usefull for me if we are able to make a upgrade script functionality but the really in the end which we can assign to a certain upgrade version x → version x.y

SF - have code search within hands reach on functionality/result tabClosed

I have been switching between code generation result pages and code search for a while now, and realized it were neat had I code search at hand right in the result window. Like this:    Implementation is open to details of course. Running it every time on generating some code is waste of resources. I am also not quite sure whether I'd like one button to search for all 3 resulting functions at once, or only the highlighted object. That last option is most straightforward of course. It would be especially nice if Ctrl-L the result below would open the concerning control procedure. Why? I am making changes to existing functionality, this is a handy way to find impact.

Do not overwrite search string when searching in second tabClosed

I can have multiple 'templates'-tabs open, with different search terms. At the moment, when I open a second code search tab and give a new search string, the search string in the first tab is overwritten, which is cool in a fashion, but not what I expect or require. This item might easily be tackled. Use not only my user-id but also the search string in the data store for the search results.

Validation request for mandatory prefilter group having all prefilters off and hiddenClosed

When you have a table/view variant where all prefilters are off and hidden for a prefilter group that is mandatory the GUI won’t fetch any data for that table and will never be able to for that variant. It can be quite the search finding out the cause of the problem. Since the combination of mandatory prefilter group with all prefilters off and hidden is something that in no situation is benificial and only leads to strange GUI behaviour I'd opt for an extra validation rule that detects this misconfiguration in the SF. I would have found the cause of the issue a lot sooner if there was a validation for this issue.

Welcome email newly created IAM users (activate account and set password)Merged

As a user, I would like to be able to send a welcome email to newly created IAM users, containing a link and an activation code so then can activate their accounts and set their passwords on their own.Within our application, I create customers who are subsequently set up as IAM users. Initially, the customer cannot log in as they do not have a password. I am hesitant to create and communicate a password for the customer via email. Instead, I am seeking the capability to generate an email for the customer, containing a link and an "activateToken," enabling them to activate their account and create a password.I would also prefer the ability to modify the email template, similar to the "password reset" email.

Changing Role name in SF requires re-assigning to User Groups in IAM - this could be easierOpen

Everytime when changing a role name in SF, we need to assign it to User Groups back again in IAM. Probably because of User Group <> Role matching is done based on their names instead of unique ID's?This brings a risk of forgetting to re-assign it completely to all relevant User Groups. Renaming Roles should not require re-assigning at all in my opinion.

Filter on datamodels in the software factoryMerged

At this moment you can create different “data models”.I would like to be able to filter on those “data models” everywhere, and that the filter would apply for all the screens where it is appropriate.At this moment a lot of time is going to finding items in lists. I think it would be great if items could be tagged by the places where they are used. The data models could easily be used as tags. They are already there.So, an option to filter on “used in datamodel”, would limit the number of subjects you see.

Universal GUI - Activate control with keyboardOpen

At this moment it is not possible to activate a control in a input field in the Universal gui without using the mouse. In the Windows gui a control becomes active when using the tab. In Universal tab goes directly to the next field. Make a keybord activation possible to make using the mouse optional.

Cube: Standard filter to hide empty rows and empty columnsOpen

Most of the time a cube holds empty lines and empty dates as there is no data for the specific cube data cell.It would be a great functionality if could suppress these empty rows and/or columns if all empty.The red sections would then be suppressed if both empty rows & columns needs to be suppressed:

Adding a generation order number to mock dataOpen

When using separate mock data sets for tables it is not possible to give a generation order number to the data sets. As of this moment the order of the generation of the mock data is in alphabetical order of the data set. Being able to give a generation order number to mock data will prevent error messages. An example of this can be found in the attachment

Universal - position action buttonsCompleted

Hello!It would be nice and functional to be able to hide pre-filters based on the Layout-mode. In our case it is wanted to switch the pre-filters to hidden when ‘@layout_mode = Form’ and have the pre-filters visible when ‘@layout_mode = Grid’.Because when form is active it is possible to lose the current field when (accidentally) changing the pre-filters. Next to the functional part it also looks cleaner.I know it is possible in the Windows GUI to completely hide the pre-filters in Screen types but this option does not work in the Universal GUI and I would like to see to have the pre-filters visible in the Grid but not in the Form.

Show Platform version inside the About screenCompleted

In my work, I support a lot of different clients, all possibly running on different platform versions. The Windows GUI version is not the same as the Platform version and can therefore differ significantly. The Universal GUI does already offer a Platform version in its Info screen.I would like to see the Platform version in the About screen. This way I have a quick way of knowing the client's platform version when I work with them.

Better control and performance for expression fieldsOpen

I would like to suggest an alternative approach to using expression fields.I do realise that the best idea is to try and avoid using expression fields, but still they are often very useful and, but I see that they are handled pretty poorly, performance wise.The simplest example is that I may have 2 tables in which I would like to display more than one field in one table that belongs to the other table.Now the resulting query often is something like:  select t1.field1, t1.field2, (select t2.fieldX from table2 t2 where t2.key = t1.key), (select t2.fieldY from          table2 t2 where t2.key = t1.key) from table1 t1I would guess that the best way to go about this is to have a query that says something like:  select t1.field1, t1.field2, t2.fieldX, t2.fieldY from table1 t1 left join table2 t2 on t2.key = t1.keyCould it be possible to facilitate this by, for example, creating joins on tables much like you draw references for check integrity, look-up or show detail purposes? When a reference like this is drawn between two tables they will join and you can draw information out of them by using their aliases instead of writing a complete subquery for each column you would like to show.

Add outlier detection to timeseries forecastingOpen

The timeseries forecasting eliminates the seasonal/daily pattern when there is an outlier. To make for a better forecasting model add a outlier detection to keep the pattern intact. Optional a setting might be added to the timeseries forecasting process action to set the upper limit for outlier detection (3 times average sales for example).No outlier:   With Outlier:

Test default user groups and roles from the SFOpen

Testing default user groups with role assignments always requires synchronization with IAM after a change. Testing default user groups therefore becomes a time-consuming activity for our developpers. We would like to have an option for the developer to test default user groups from within the SF without synchronization to IAM.For example, if the developer could select a set of default user groups within the SF and use them to carry out the tests via IAM, this would save a lot of time. Perhaps, the possibility to synchronize only the changes made in default user groups and role assignments to IAM separately from other model changes could be an alternative that saves time.

Procedure options in the SFOpen

In the SF there is a tab "Subroutine options” since version 2018.3 (see Execute as option | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com),We now use this in a particular subroutine en during the creation proces this is “translated” to a option in the resulting procedure.    I would like to see the same possibility with TASKS. Tasks in the end will also result in a procedure, just like a subroutine.I don't really understand how Thinkwise translates “EXECUTE_AS” to “ with execute as ...” but that asiide.And not just this. I would like to see more of this… For example, in a few tasks we want / need a “with recompile” option to have an acceptable performance. There are probably better ways to get a task running faster besides using “with recompile”, but for now this works for us.In Transact-SQL there are currently 3 options, I think, when creating a procedure, so it would be nice if all three are selectable per procedure (task, subroutine, default, layout…. actually everywhere that results in a procedure in the generation process).See also CREATE PROCEDURE (Transact-SQL) - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn

Add platform_id variable to context procedureClosed

We need to switch detail tabs on or off, depending on the platform that is used. This because some screen controls are not available for all platforms, like the Card List.Creating different variants for different platforms is not a good alternative, because this results in to much maintenance and side effects.Having the platform_id available in the context procedure would be a perfect solution for now.Or, a global function, like dbo.tsf_platform_id() is also fine.

Create mock data based on system versioned tableOpen

At this moment we cannot use data sets in unit tests that are based on a system versioned table. It results in the error: ‘Truncate failed on table “...” because it is not a supported operation on system-versioned tables.’. As our product table is system versioned to show changes made to the articles, we cannot make any unit tests for control procedures that interact with the article table. We would like to see this implemented.

Declarative Layout logicOpen

In our application we have a attribute table in which attributes can have different types. At this moment there is a context procedure to switch between fields to display. That makes that the application is not going to work offline.If it would be possible to say “hide in the form / out of form” in the conditional layout this would not require a context procedure and could also work in offline mode. There are a lot of scenarios in which control procedures and logic would not be needed, while they are needed at this moment. ( The conditional layout is already there so this is just a small addition ).I do have another idea, to solve the same issue which I will post as a distinct idea. I note “software factory” below as it should of course work the same in all GUI’s.

Add, don't show if empty option, to tabs in the screen layouts.Merged

I’m trying to solve two things,In our application we have a attribute table in which attributes can have different types. At this moment there is a context procedure to switch between fields to display. That makes that the application is not going to work offline.   Next to this we have a control procedure to hide tabs where users don’t have data to enter. For the first I added another idea but we could also solve this with this addition.Outline;I created a subject with a reference to a view. The UI understood that there was no record to show and that it wasn’t possible to add a record. Still, the UI showed the tab with an empty record. If it would be possible to choose to hide tabs with no data it is possible to do a lot of things without control procedures.Both “1” and “2” could be solved this way. For “1” this might not be the most efficient way but in case of “2” we could just delete a control procedure. With that data entry would “probably” work offline.
