Customize Filter Form in Universal GUIOpen

Hi, It would be nice if we can customize filter form fields width and height, like how we set field width and height in forms, Also having a clear filter button on the filter form is better than one by one removing the values on the fields.

New upgrade step drop tablesMerged

This is an attempt to revitalize an old idea of @Erwin Ekkel. One that initially received to few votes, but is vital when deploying a new release to another environment. Even without enough votes, this one should have been implemented.“If something goes wrong during the upgrade part of the execute source code most times you have to restore a DB to start over. This is very time consuming and not necessary. If the drop table part from the upgrade step is moved to a new step drop tables, which would be placed at the end of the execute source code. This would mean that if something goes wrong during the upgrade step you could still check the data to see what went wrong. After solving the problem you could then just run the script again, since the backup tables still exist.The only reason I can think of why the drop table is currently in this step is the removal of domains. This could easily be solved by using global temp tables.”As the old (renamed) tables are currently immediately dropped, you have no option but to restore a database. In the hope that the backup went well and you have enough rights to restore it.When having this in another step, you always have the opportunity to improve the script, as generating it isn't always flawless.

Copy user preferences to other instances of IAMCompleted

Hello,Within IAM, the user preferences are stored at the user level. In IAM we have defined a number of dummy users and adjusted optimal user preferences.When a real user is added, the user preferences of one of the dummy users are copied to the new user. The new user will then immediately receive screens perfectly aligned to his organizational role.In our situation, we have many environments, each with its own IAM, in which dozens of tenants are included per IAM.We urgently need to copy one or more selected users (the dummy users) including all their user preferences from one IAM to other instances of IAM.

Mock data set as queryCompleted

Currently to create mock data you can use either the mock data sets or create a preparation query (per unit test) in order to create some mock data this way.Especially with larger mock datasets it can be tedious to enter all the mock data manually.I’d like to be able to use the power of SQL to create mock data sets. Instead of creating a preparation query per unit test to create some mock data I’d like to be able to write a query that will create me some mock data. This query should be run before the current preparation query of the associated unit test.This way you will be able to re-use your mock data preparation query instead of writing them per unit test and have a more powerful option to create some mock data.

Include a reviewer in the task ready for reviewCompleted

I would like to optionally immediately assign a reviewer when I set my code to ready for review using the task in the Software Factory:It feels a bit roundabout to:First have to set something to ready for review then go to code review disable the ‘hide developed by me’ prefilter find my control proc execute the task assign a reviewer

Control procedure connectionCompleted

With Sychronization to IAM you get a nice pop up with your Runtime config options to select.However when you want to execute your control procedures, you have to type the database/server name in yourself.Cant we also make this connection look at the runtime config options to select them instead of typing?

Configure detail tab page group fallbackCompleted

Zooming in (double click) on a detail tab page can open a different screen type (zoom) than the detail screen type. The zoom screen type can have DetailTabPage containers with different detail groups than the original screen type. Example:Screentype X (detail)Grid, Form, DetailTabPage AScreentype Y (zoom)Grid, Form, DetailTabPage A, DetailTabPage BIn our case we have detail screens with horizontal (detail group A) and vertical details (detail group B). The vertical details should be hidden when the screen is in a ‘Detail’ screen type, but must be shown when the correct detail group is available in the ‘Zoom’ screen type.At this moment all details with detail group B are placed under A.We would like to make that fallback mechanism configurable to prevent details from DetailTabPage B to be placed in DetailTabPage A.Possible solutions:Configurable per ‘Detail group’ in ‘Screen types’ screen. Configurable per reference in ‘Subjects’ screen.The default behavior should be applied when 1 or 2 is not configured.

IAM Tags for User Groups / Applications / TenantsCompleted

IAM holds a tag base table and a usr_tag table. For some functionality we built it would be helpful to have Tags available for User Groups too. And while we're at it, it's probably helpful for us and/or others to have them on Applications and Tenants too. Could this be added to IAM?

Issue setting max # session per account to 1Completed

To ensure that our customers really purchase a license per user, we want to set 'max # session per account' to 1 in IAM.However, this leads to problems in our application, because we also have functionality executed for certain functions via a url call under the user name of the applicationpooluser.And we notice that it is necessary in our EVO application that the user name of the application pool user needs multiple sessions simultaneously.So here's the question of how we can achieve this...Our proposal is, for example, to make it possible to indicate at user level that it may have multiple sessions simultaneously within an application, while for that application it is set that 'max # session per account' is set to 1

New task copy filter (and search) from grid or formCompleted

At moment you have the possibility in SF to copy the filter settings from search (copy_search_to_filter). It would be nice to have an extra task to copy the filter settings from the grid or form. In that way you can easily set the order of the filter form like the grid or form fields. The visibility (visible for filter) can be derived from the grid or form type.Editable / Read only → AlwaysHidden → Never

Generate code group when generating definition and codegroup has not been generatedCompleted

Pretty self-explanatory, when there are no code groups generated for a specific code-group and you hit generate definition on the result tab, nothing happens and you have to go back and generate the code-group first. This is annoying and can easily be done for you.Please? :)

Show labels on steps of process flowsCompleted

At the moment it is possible to show the sequence-number of process steps. You can enable this through the Settings at the Design-tab within Process flows (identical to settings at the Data model).Numbers can be good for identification, but are terrible at describing what they represent. A label would be much better at this.Alas it is currently not possible to attach a label to a process step. (Just like Reference add. for data model references). Useful labels could be something like: “on cancel", “on OK", “when already exists", "delete existing”, etc.So two additions:Being able to add labels to process steps; Being able to show labels in the process flow design.

Data authorization prefilter NamingCompleted

When configuring Prefilter rights for specifics roles, there is an option named Data authorization prefilter, which determines whether a prefilter is always active and locked. I myself and other developers I have worked with, find this name a little confusing. Therefor I’am looking for a better name for this option. This topic has been created to determine whether this name might have to be changed. If so, which name is the preferred name?

Default 'Merge from:' to active branchCompleted

Almost always you’re going to merge you’re active branch. However currently I need to select that branch from a dropdown, it would save time and effort if my current active branch would be defaulted so I do not need to select it.

Copy To Clipboard control on a DomainCompleted

Hi all,Wouldn’t it be nice to have a copy to clipboard for specific fields to make the life of the user easier. The User does not need to mess around trying to Select, Highlight then copy with keyboard Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V or right click when allowed to Copy+Paste etc… Too much hassle too many operations. This could be easily created for both the Web and Universal GUI.A Control could be added on the Domain for enabling the Copy to Clipboard.  That would show a small icon for Copy to Clipboard on the related field (form, grid) The value of the field to be copied to Clipboard.How does that sound?Anyone else have additional input for such functionality and amend the above, please let us know in the idea comments.

Mock data set based on viewCompleted

At this moment the Software Factory does not support creating mock data based on views. This means that functionality that is based on a view cannot be covered by unit tests. I’m not sure if it is, but a work around could be to fill all the tables on which the view depends on with mock data, but this could get very time consuming and not necessary if you don’t want to test the view itself. If it would be possible to create mock data based on views, then the Software Factory can for example:Rename the existing view Create a mock table based on this view, with the original name add the mock data After the unit test has completed, the mock table can be dropped and the view renamed to it’s original name.

Able to hide a task in the taskbar when task is used for double clickCompleted

It would be nice if you have the option to hide a task in the taskbar when you use the task as a double click task.For example: When you use double click in the grid to navigate to the form or details from that record then the task doesn't (always) need to be visible in the taskbar. But now when you hide the task the double click function doesn't work.

Select default startup branch in 2023.1Completed

IN 2023.1 you get the popup to select a branch if you have multiple active branches. However, more often then not you are working exclusively in 1 branch at a time. I suggest adding a default branch option to the user which branch should be loaded by default, this way you won't have to select the branch every time you boot up the software factory.

Add description to DomainsCompleted

The power of domains is that they are easy to reuse and thus to maintain. However the name alone is sometimes not enough to communicate it’s use. So it would be nice if you could add a short description to a domain.This way you could add a quick description describing why it was created and why for example the min and max values are the way that they are. This keeps this knowledge in the Software Factory instead of in the brains of the developers.

Make mock data value expression fields readibleCompleted

When configuring mock data, you have the option to use expressions to fill the mock data values. However, they are not readible in the SF as the field is covered in a horizontal scrollbar. Can we make the fields wider or higher so we can read the fields, without opening an external text editor with the pencil?

Generate default logic for HandlersCompleted

When I use a Handler, I would like to add specific logic to the handler and next to that I mostly what the default insert, update, or delete to be executed.Currently I have to add and maintain the default logic myself, which takes a lot of time and increases the risk of errors.As a user, I would like to indicate that I want to use the Handler and have the option to indicate whether or not I want to use the default insert, update, or delete. And if so, have the SF generate them for me. This way, I only need to develop the specific logic.

Or prefiltersCompleted

Selecting multiple prefilters now always leads to: where [prefilter 1 query] AND [prefilter 2 query]. I would also very much like to have the possibility to make OR prefilters. Not only between columns (colour = red OR shape = square) but also within columns (colour = red OR colour = blue OR shape = square).

2023.1: Add a tree structure for insight in branch levelsCompleted

In the 2023.1 version all branches are part of the same model. To add a better overview of branch levels please add a tree structure to showcase if a branch is created from the main (root) or a different branch. Currently it's not visually clear what are 1st or 2nd (etc) level branches.
