Allow filtering in model/application listOpen

Currently when working in the development environment or test environment the list of models/application can become quite large. It would be of great help if some sort of filtering option would be available in this list.For example, to be able to filter in the specific feature branch you are working in.

Use different table variants for screen types with multiple gridsOpen

We use this screen setup for quite some occasions: a list with details behind it, with each detail having a small list on the left side so the user could easily switch between rows while staying on the detail screen (the same setup is used for ‘Subjects’ in the SF). But there are two limitations that we would like to overcome:-It is not possible to use a different table variant for the small list on the left side (deviated from the main list). While for example we want hide certain fields in the small list and specify certain tasks only on a the main grid and some tasks on both. The only thing that can be changed is the action bar, but that means the small list shows all tasks or none.-It needs an own screen type per table in order to name/icon the detail tab pages (which are actually component tab pages) like the the detail. This also requires manually maintenance when a translation is changed.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerPlanned

As explained in Adding extra files to Universal GUI container | Thinkwise Community, the current Universal GUI container doesn’t support adding custom html files (like Screen components | Thinkwise Documentation or Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI | Thinkwise Community). This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount).

Number of multiple running instances for a system flowOpen

Instead of a flag for multiple running instances, I would like to set a maximum number of running instances to prevent an overload. Currently, we have to create our own solution, even though IAM has all the necessary information (see Is it possible to limit the number of multiple running instances for a system flow? | Thinkwise Community).

Copy cube fields translation from column translation on generating translation objectUnder review

When creating a new cube, there is an enrichment that copies translations from columns to cube fields. However when you add cube fields later, you need to manually insert the cube field translation.When a new translation object for a cube field is generated, could it always take the column translation as a default value please?

Make the Lookup icon appear on read only mode on a GRID in Universal GUICompleted

How would you like the idea to have a lookup icon on the grid when you are in read only mode?Currently we can see the lookup icon only in Edit mode: Why not have it also when we are in plain view read only mode similar to the FORM.It could be controlled via CSS to hide and make it visible on Hover or hide all together.

Show popup icon in grid when not in edit mode. (universal)Merged

I have views/tables that have data from a related table. I would like the GUI to always show the popup button in the grid (when modelled this way) regardless if the field is read-only, in read-mode or edit-mode. Now it only shows in edit-mode.  In windows you have a shortcut and the right mouse to show the popup.. in Universal there is not equivalent.

Assign tasks, reports and prefilters to a bar like detailsCompleted

I would like to be able to assign a task/report/prefilter to a bar, like we assign details to a detailgroup. I want to be able to show other objects in the bar above the grid, than the objects on the form or even in the ribbon.In case we use 2 bars in the same screentype you get all the objects in both bars (see Any ideas/tricks to running tasks from different parts of the same screen?). It would be easier to assign the objects to the bar.

Quality of life SF: remember 'Remember selected branch'-tick-box state per branchOpen

Hi all, I switch branches quite often, but usually I work in a development branch. So, when switching branches to “DEVELOP”, I tick the “Remember selected branch” box, which then stays active the next time I switch branch to “RELEASE”, for example. For my workflow, it would be nice if the ticked-state of the box was a property of the branch instead of a property of the popup, ie, when I set the combo box to “RELEASE”, the SF remembers that I don’t want to remember that branch and the default turns off the box. The overall effect is quite small, but it would make working with switching branches that little more intuitive in my view.

Task to assign user group to multiple users at onceOpen

To make it easier to assign a user group to multiple users, it would be very helpful to have a task to assign a user group to multiple users at once. Now you have to open each user one by one, which is very time consuming.

Provide Notification and Download API for new Thinkwise runtime component versionsOpen

Automation of deployments helps in speeding up the deployments ánd at the same time reduces time spent by Developers/Operators on these mundane and repeating tasks. It's great that tremendous effort is put into the SF Creation screens in the latest Thinkwise Platform releases (2021.3 / 2022.1). It's also great to see that the same is planned for Hotfixes.Now, this Idea is about the runtime components of the Thinkwise Platform (GUI's/Indicium). Currently we are notified of new Releases via the Community News & Updates blogs. By subscribing to this Category, we receive an e-mail when the Release Notes are published (and the release is available for download). After that we need to go to TCP ourselves, download new versions through the annoying download task, and then upload them in our own environment for further processing.We have automated deployments on our side already for Indicium & Universal (we only use the Windows GUI for the SF): after the new versions are uploaded in our environment, we can simply provide the Indicium + Universal combination we need, the target Environment (DEV/TEST/PROD) and our automation (in AWS using S3 / SNS / Lambda) takes care of creating the ZIP files with custom configuration, and Uploading and Deploying them (in our case to AWS Elastic Beanstalk). The next big step to speed up this process is replacing the Community e-mail / TCP manual download / upload actions. Instead we would like to see the following:Thinkwise sends a Notification through an API endpoint (to which any customer can subscribe) whenever a new version of a runtime component is available Thinkwise provides a Download API from which we can then download the new version

Always execute task for all cube rowsOpen

When I connect a task to a cube, it works fine, but the task is only executed for the first row of the aggregated data. Is it possible to let the task execute for all underlying rows?  I tried using a multi row xml parameter in the task (Multirow task execution | Thinkwise Community), but that doesn’t make a difference.

Show barcode keyboard buttonWorking on it!

We have deployed an application for use on a ZEBRA scanner device.The application functions smoothly and intuitively, with one exception.It is designed around barcode scanning, and in over 95% of cases, the process can be completed simply by scanning barcodes. To support this workflow, the SuppressBarcodeKeyboard setting is enabled (Yes), which hides the on-screen keyboard.However, this has a side effect: users are unable to manually enter codes using the keyboard. This becomes problematic when barcodes are either inaccessible to the scanner or damaged.To address this, we would like to add an action button within the barcode control that allows users to activate the keyboard when needed.Something like this:We hope this is possible.Alternatively, is there another workaround you would recommend?

Universal GUI Mandatory fieldsCompleted

The issue about the mandatory fields in the Universal is closed. I installed 2025.03 Universal and it seems that the mandatory fields are now indicated with a really small asterisk which has the same color as the theme color. Please make this asterisk RED or much better please add an option that the mandatory fields may have another background. The windows users are really used to it and it’s really visible.It seems that there are no options at all anymore to tweak the colors of the GUI. It’s just the main color and the accent color and that’s it. If for what ever reason that is not what TW likes to implement then please mark the mandatory fields with a RED little bit bigger asterisk, that’s what you indeed see on a lot of websites. This item was closed for comments… So that’s why I created a new idea.

Place header filtering dots always on bottom right side of the headerCompleted

The latest GUI (2025.3.12.0) supports header filtering for numeric fields, which generally are aligned to the right side. The three dots for header filtering are then placed on the left side of the field. And when a header is multiple rows, the three dots are vertically aligned to the middle.The effect of this is a unclear and sloppy header when fields with different alignments are mixed. For a user it isn’t instantly clear which three dots are for which field this way. For example:  Please always place the three dots on the bottom right side of the header (or make this configurable).

Max/Min Width Settings for Form-, Task- and Report FieldsOpen

We like to have more control over field widths, because often you wish to give fields a absolute widthExamples:house number postal code dates bank accounts etc..When fields are on the same line it can have a mix of fixed and flexible widths.It should be more easy to set this up in the Software Factory.

Make it possible to copy cube field dimensions and valuesOpen

Please make it possible to copy text from dimension and value fields of a cube. Right now it only seems possible to copy from a editable value field. On dimensions and non-editable values it is not possible to select text nor does ctrl-c work.

Auto empty columns that were set hidden by a layoutOpen

Hi there, When I hide a column, I always have to write extra logic to empty that column’s value. This repeats the same work and wastes time.It is advised that layout logic should only control what the user sees, not change data. Data changes belong in default or business logic to keep things clear and safe.My idea is to add a feature that automatically empties hidden columns based on layout or subject settings, because what are the chances that I need the data in a column/parameter that is hidden? This would make development faster and easier.

Combined filter : specify from GUI what to searchOpen

As a user, I'd like to be able to tick which columns the combined filter applies to. This as a subset of the columns that have been configured by the developer.In some screens I really like the simple effectiveness of the combined search, but is it not helpful because on of the search columns makes my search return irrelevant results, for example: In this case I only like to filter the roles on ‘azure’. I could use the filter screen of course, but in many cases that feels like overkill. Instead of the read-only informative yellow popup, it would have a popup like on the column headers, like this: Options for ‘date’ and ‘scope’ are bycatch in the screenshot; ‘date’ might be a possible addition as long as there is a well defined ‘inserted on’-date.

Extend Custom Component Event data with (basic) authorizationsNeeds feedback

I've been playing a bit with Custom components and it's great and powerful, but it would be nice to have some info on authorizations so if we add a delete button for example we can upfront check if the logged in user can actually use it.
