Change menu in UniversalCompleted

We would like to have the ability to change the menu in the Universal GUI, just as it has already been implemented in the windows GUI. I know this is already on the Backlog, but to be able to prioritize i created this idea so we can start gathering some votes.

Back button returns user to previous screen in Universal GUICompleted

What I noticed when using the Universal GUI on mobile, if you press the back button that it exits the application. This is, at least for me, unexpected. I would have expected that if I press the back button, that it would go back to the previous screen (if possible). Example, I select a row in a list, go to the form to see some information. Then when I press 'back', I would like the List to be opened again so I can select a different row if desired. From my understanding the Universal GUI is a single page application but I hope there's a way to manipulate the way the back button responds.

To not include expression fields in select when they are hidden in a variant.Completed

We have a table with quite some expression fields, that normally do not give a lot of performance loss because they are usually always shown as a detail of an order. However, we've created a variant on this table that breaks with this and although I've hidden the majority of the fields, the select that is generated in the end product will still contain all these expression fields that really make things slow. Wouldn't it be a nice idea to not add expression fields to the select of a variant when they are hidden? I know I can make a seperate view, but I would like to not do that. It would be great if the selects for view/tables (based on variants) could only contain the data-elements that will be shown (non-hidden).

An option to use model messages to change the confirmation of default update and delete buttonsOpen

Summary (added by moderator):As a developer, I would like to be able to substitute the thrown GUI message when Confirming and Update or Delete with an own Model message. This would mean when checking the boxes for Confirm update and/or Confirm delete, that I can select a message from my project. The GUI should then throw that message instead. Related to the Question we made :Is there a way to change the message in the confirm update/delete in the subjects settings so the default buttons can have different messages? | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)

Element translation for message parametersOpen

For lots of tasks it could be usefull to use a confirmation message and when you do it's also helpfull ffor the user to include task parameters in the message.When I want to include parameters which have a domain with elements I expect that the translation would be shown but that is not the case: In this case 2 should be the translated to the 'approved’, which means a lot more for the user don't you agree?

When refreshing a list, also refresh the preview (URL)Closed

We use a few external integrations, and it appears that when refreshing a list or a form, the preview component, or better what is loaded via the previewer is not refreshed. I would also like to see the preview component to be refreshed, like when you actually go to another row (record) and back.

Cardlist: When you have multiple icons, the other icons should be shown in the cardlist as well.Open

The cardlist is quite a favorite in the Universal GUI and I am facing that if I have 2 icons or more.. only the first is shown, the others are shown as their name. I would like to have the extra icons also be shown in the cardlist.. Another Idea would be to have an extra indented (smaller) icon below the main one or the overflow menu replaced (where at this point it has no function, and could just a well be removed).

Better option for merge conflict when icon is deleted and object is created using said iconOpen

Situation: A branch is created where a task is created using an icon that is later deleted in the main. Now try to merge the main to the branch and you have a merge conflict. You have the option to either delete the icon or insert the task. Where I would like to have an option to insert the task and just clear the icon data in the task. A deleted icon should not result in the task not being created. The same problem occurs with a table, report or menu using a deleted icon.

U-GUI: Open tabs barOpen

When using the Universal GUI, and I have multiple tabs open, I have to go back to the main page each time I want to switch between my open tabs. Is there any posibillity to present my open tabs, on the top of the GUI in a sort of bar? Thanks!

Logout button on Universal Login pageClosed

Hi There,When you login through a Universal interface with an account that has no application associated with it you get stuck. You see the message that no application is available and you see a LOGIN button that doesn’t do anything. Adding a LOGOUT button would enable users to go ahead and do something. Now we have people calling us because there stuck.

StartupProcedure / ShutdownProcedure for UniversalOpen

For various purposes is it would be very helpful to have the possibly for executing a stored procedure when a user starts or stops an application session in the Universal GUI.Like in the Windows/Web GUI is possible with the extended properties StartupProcedure and ShutdownProcedureOr is this already on the roadmap?

'Cannot open the database' message after loginOpen

As a user, I would like to receive a clear notification during login if the application's database is not accessible, so that I can immediately identify the issue.Currently, when I launch an application while the database is unreachable, the GUI starts up normally, displaying the menu and giving the impression that everything is functioning fine. However, upon attempting to open a menu item, a continuous pop-up with an unknown error appears.When I check the Indicium log do I find the message: 'Cannot open the database "DATABASE" requested by the login. The login failed.' If I receive this message as soon as I launch the GUI, it would reduce my search time significantly and allow me to pinpoint the problem immediately.

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:

Pre-fill filter formOpen

I would love the ability to prefill my filter form.For example a table with dates which i would prefill with a date between now and the last 2 weeks and standard filter on a name with with the filter form easily changed when i wish to view a different range of data.
