"Variant" Reports, a different usecase.Closed

Is it possible to implement “Variant” reports? In the sense that you’d create a variant of a report and physically upload a different file. This file would be expected to have the same parameters, but usually a different layout or extra fields.Our use case is this,The TW Application is multi-tenant, some of our tenants have the same kinds of reports, let’s say  warehousing labels. It can be assumed that we  functionally also use the same parameters for these reports, but both tenants want a different kind of layout.At the moment ( as far as I can tell) the only way to achieve this right now is to create separate reports in the “report” table. I think it’d be a nice addition the the report variants feature in Software factory, to be able to upload different reports. Alternate suggestions are also welcome of course.

Add the ability to hide a task when the detail form is enteredClosed

We have several tasks related to insert items in a Table. However, when the form is opened, it makes no sense to show the task, as it does not concern the specific record.Therefore it would be nice to have the ability to hide the task when the details are opened.

Mouse hover timeout in Windows and Web GUIOpen

I don't have a clue how many of us are still using the Windows and Web GUI's instead of the Universal GUI, but I have noticed that the tooltip timeout (mouse hover / mouse over) of a field in the grid is absent in Universal, whereas in the Windows Gui a build-in timeout of some 4 or 5 seconds seems to be used…In the Web gui the tooltip isn't even shown at all for the field in this example. But that could be to the fact that it's not the most recent Gui we're using.It would be nice if a timeout could be set Application wide in for example the Extended Properties of an Application. In the example below we have a field that has aggregated various user messages in one field in the grid en when the mouse hovers over the field, the aggregated message is shown. Perhaps it isn;t the most elegant solution, but it covers what the user needs.In Universal the popup stays indefinitely In the Windows GUI a user has to be very quick in reading, as the popup dissapears in a few seconds. And I'm not even mentioning the fact that the tooltip isn't limited in width… It is extended over the current windows’ dimensions.. I would like to see this fixed in the Windows GUI (configurable in Extended Properties would be sufficient when it's up to me).

Differentiate Zoom screen in Open DocumentsCompleted

Currently the GUI does not distinguish between Zoom screens versus Main screens in the Open Documents part of the Menu. It would be very helpful to have a subtle indication (a small icon f.e.) of an Open Document being a Zoom screen, as it would help users to quickly know where to go (usually to Main) and/or which screens to close (usually Zoom).Which one is Main and which are Zoom screens?

Automatically disable Program Object(s) when deleting handler Control ProcedureMerged

I think it would be good to automatically disable program objects when removing/deleting a handler control procedure. Or at least automatically disable them when no (0) templates are assigned.My situationI thought using a handler was a good option, but during the process I decided this was not the best option. So I deleted the Control Procedure (which includes the template). I thought this was all I had to do to undo the handler that I created.Unfortunately this resulted in errors:[ERR] An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request. (ffba027a)System.Exception: The identity value should be set by the api_call_settings handler.I also noticed that the SF kept creating the a Stored Procedure on the database.Only when I re-created a handler and disabled the Program Object, the error was gone.

Stop emailing me when my TCP's are being assessedClosed

SituationWhenever I raise a TCP I get an email five minutes later that my ticket is ‘being assesed’. I find this e-mail quite annoying because I already know this is happening and it’s not telling me anything new. SolutionStop sending e-mails when a TCP is being assessed. The e-mail updating the status after the assessing should be sufficient since then I know new information.

hide models that are not currently active from the merging dialogOpen

We noticed that the Merging dialog/tab shows merging sessions for all models.Not only the currently activated model. I think there should be an additional prefilter that only shows the currently selected model (VMS in this case).

Force filter (start empty with filter)Open

Introducing a second type of start empty with filter. It works like start empty with filter but also clears then screen when no filter is selected or filter is emptied. I would like to call this Force filter.We tried pulling this off with a process flow but the “Change filters” action is not a valid starting point for a process flow so we can't toggle some prefilter(1 = 0 to clear the screen) with it.We need this for a screen in the Vezet project. Only the records of specific date must be shown. If you empty the filter all records are shown which we don't want.

Bulk upload iconsOpen

Sometimes it would be nice if it is possible to upload multiple icons (whole folder for example) into the icons table at once.It came up when thinking about the posibility of adding flag images to a view with countries 😇That would be around 254 seperate icons, I wouldn't want to manually add each of them seperately 😬

2023.1: Set source for Data migration in Deployment package screenOpen

Similar to the Creation screen, we would like to be able to use the ‘Set source for data migration and upgrade’ task in the Deployment package screen and then decide to Continue creation or Review mapping: Currently there is no way to see and/or determine which Source branch and model version are going to be used in the Deployment package. One has to navigate to Model overview > Branches > Form to figure out the setting, and if incorrect, navigate to Data migration and execute the ‘Set source for data migration and upgrade’ task. Following up on the conversation with @Mark Jongeling in this topic as well as the conversation with @Ester and @Anne Buit at the Thinkwise office, I believe it adds value toAt least be able to see which Source branch and model version will be used in the Deployment package Be able to set which Source branch and model version will be used in the Deployment packageWe often perform incremental upgrades on our DEV/TEST environment using the Creation tasks/APIs, but for our Production deployments always use the Deployment package. As such the Source branch / model version always needs to be set before creating a Deployment package.Note: one might argue that this situation does not apply if the practices for the MAIN branch as explained in this Thinkwise blog are followed. But currently such a setup is not feasible for us, among others due to the lack of proper Data migration support in the merging process.

Hide pre-filters using new logic conceptOpen

I have a fixed set of pre-filters, but not all pre-filters are functional based on what is in the table. I would like to hide the pre-filters that don't make a difference based on the content of the table, like tasks and references.

Don't name everything T1Closed

For trouble shooting it would be much easier if not everything in the code was called T1. Trying to find the source of T1.[column_name] can be pretty time consuming since there are multiple T1 aliases used within the select statements created by the GUI.

Deployment center install option to skip database provisioningCompleted

It would be very nice to be able to skip some of the steps when you do a deployment with the deployment center. For example the creation step. This counts for as wel as your projects and the SF/IAM databases. When the database already exists but it is empty I want it to use that one instead of having to delete it.

Preload most used screen in Universal UIOpen

The universal UI uses the lazy loading concept. This has the benefit of not having to load the whole application upon login. This makes the UI feel a lot faster than its predecessors.However upon opening a screen it will load all the required components for this screen. This sometimes makes loading/opening of a screen feel kind of slow. I personally think that having a kind of hybrid form of lazy loading and loading the whole application would be perfect. It would be super usefully to fully load the screens, that a specific user opens most often, upon loading (login) the application (top 5 for example).IAM can be used to determine the top 5 screens which have to be preloaded.

Cursor placed in combined filter when opening lookup popupOpen

When our users use CTRL+L to open a lookup popup, their wish is for the cursor to be automatically placed inside the combined filter. This way, they won't need to use their mouse / Tab multiple times to start typing their search terms.

Change field background color for checkbox and radiobuttons.Declined

In the current software factory you can only change the background color of a text field. But when you have a checkbox or radio button, you can no longer change the background color of the field. But this is desirable (in our situation) to indicate that a field is mandatory.This is a text field with a background color.But this is not possible with checkboxes or radiobuttons.

GPS coordinates Universal from DeviceCompleted

Does the Universal already support fetching the current location from a device that has a GPS function? Or is there a way to get it using HTML and Javascript (https://love2dev.com/blog/html-geolocation/) in for example a task to then fetch a route via API to a known location?

In a tiles menu, you should be able to define a group on each level. In that case, you are not limited to 2 levels but basically unlimited. This is especially important for larger applications with many screens.

However since I have said I want to deactivate my old branch, I no longer want to work in it.SolutionAfter a merge session where you deactivate your source branch, switch branches to the target branch of the merge session.

Show tooltip for images stored in databaseCompleted

I like to show the filename/textual value of an image upload field as tooltip.   The example above shows status values as icon, which saves a lot of column width. For most users this is very clear, but for new user it is valuable to show the meaning of the icon as tooltip. In the Windows GUI the values are already visible in the filter.

Dependency check in the Deployment Center interfaceOpen

What i would like to see in the deployment center is a menu option to check the installed packages/dependencies needed to run the Indicium/Universal/Webinterface/Windows GUI.So i would like to see:Dependency check, with checkboxes what you want to verify: [ ] Indicium Basic [ ] Indicium Universal [ ] Universal [ ] Web Interface [ ] Windows Interface And when you run that check you get a page in the menu where you can see what is needed (ie. a Grid).For example:Is .NET Hosting Bundle 6 installed [ YES / NO ] - [URL to download the hosting Bundle]I've noticed that not always people read the our Docs and get weird notifications during installations.
