Option to assign screen area to standard permissionsOpen

With the new custom toolbar we can assign screen areas for tasks or prefilters, and also define default display type. But what if for example import or export is important for a specific subject. The only option is to create a specific screen type for that subject, so a standard component can be assigned a different display typeIn our specific case, we have a working list where we start with import of a list. So, we would like to add the import component as Icon + text on a specific subject. Would be nice to have this option at permissions, to define screen area & display type

Import a base model into a work modelCompleted

It is currently possible to link a base model to a work model. But if you want to change something, you will have to do it in the base model. This makes it impossible to integrate it with other objects of your model.I would like to have the option to import a full base model into a work model instead of just linking it. Basically the same result as using the ‘Unlink generated object’ on all objects of the base model.This would make it easier to integrate Thinkstore projects into our own projects.

Self reference excludingOpen

I would like to see an easy way to exclude a row you are editing form a self reference.As example. You have an employee called Maarten.And there is a self reference on the table employee to assign employees as manager of an employee.While i am editing the employee Maarten i would not want to see an option in the look up to set Maarten himself as his own manager. I have asked around for solutions but those include things like just make a separate view for it which in my opinion to much for something so small. Also this is not a verry low code solution. An idea i had is to able to see the difference in the table you are editing also known as the T1 table used in many prefilters. But that you would also be able to pull apart the row you are editing at that time as a sort of T2 maybe. I would like to hear other people's opinions/ solutions for this.

ForceRecompile for update statements in Universal GUIOpen

In particular cases ForceRecompile can be a big help to improve load times in the Universal GUI. However this only works with select statements at the moment.Today I encountered an update statement that goes from 1100 ms to 80 ms in SSMS when adding Option(Recompile) manually. It would be highly beneficial in this case if ForceRecompile was also available for update statements. I'd like to see this implemented in ForceRecompile or possibly a new extended property if that’s preferred.

Pass on content filter (400) error in LLM process action response or statusOpen

Idea created after response in ticket: In Azure OpenAI it is possible for a “Content filter” to trigger and results in a 400 status code. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2198766Instead of having the LLM process action in the flow give a -1 (unknown) and no other information, give it a different code or additionally some info that is was the “Content filter” that triggered. This way the error handling can be more user friendly in this situation.

Ability to assign Templates of custom Code Group Templates to Program ObjectsOpen

We have a few custom code groups currently we are unable to assign these to Program Objects via the user interface so we are forced to use the SQL assignment to assign them. The SQL assignments are not always ideal for various reasons so I'd like to propose the following: Being able to create a mapping from a custom code group to multiple build in code groups and use this to show the correct Program Objects in the assignment.

Force to Stop a process flow that is in infiinite loopsOpen

As I'm advancing step by step with the process flow, I unfortunately increase the amounts of problems I create for myself. Something theat happens often, is that I create an infinite loop in the process flow. Ofcourse, one should be carefull, of course one should always take measures to prevent, of course a lot should be done to prevent this. But fact is that a small mistake may create an infinite loop in the process flow, and form that momento on, its just impossible to stop the loop. The only way is to restart stuff, to which I do not have any access. And if I'm playing around in the evening, often our servers are running red during the night untill someone can restart. So, I'm askin, almost urging to please make something that kills the process flow, so a developer can also correct himself without going through the humiliation of confessing a s***d up once again. ;-)

Make indicium developer mode an appsettings settingOpen

Currently to set indicium to developer mode you have to amend the webconfig. On an upgrade I often forget to keep the original webconfig. Would it be possible to move this setting to the appsettings file instead? Then we have one place to configure all settings. And less risk of overwriting this setting.

Steer collapsible forms via layout.Open

I'm already becoming a fan of the collapsible sections in a form. Now I was looking at a comparison screen we have between ERP data and read data from a document. Would be pretty great if based on detected differences we could auto-collapse a segment.

On Demand Push Notifications for UniversalCompleted

We would like to have the ability to use Push Notifications on Demand to send custom messages to our users. Currently the only notification that you get from the Universal GUI is during a system Upgrade to a new version, or once asking you to install the app on your device. The Idea is to have a built in way for push notifications on demand to users fromwithin the build application IAM Both the aboveSending a notification to users for critical items as per the developed application demands.Optional if possible to be able to select the delivery medium from:SMS iOS, Android, and web push Notifications

Export function to excel should follow date visualisation of userCompleted

We have some tables with start and end dates per row. When we do an export we see that all dates are no longer in the format that we used in the app. In Universal we use dd-MM-yyyy and the downloaded file uses MM-dd-yyyy.We would like the export function to follow the date representation that the user within the application has.

Copy translation from column -> task/report parameterCompleted

The Software Factory generates different translation objects for columns and report/task parameters. Often I would like these to have the same translation. Currently I have to manually copy the translation from my column into the task or report parameter.It would be great if you would have an option in the translation screen to copy the translation from a different translation object type. For example, have to option to copy the column translation for my task parameter. Obviously, the parameter name and column name should match for this feature to work.Column employee_id has translation Employee. Task parameter employee_id has no translation. This new task will copy the translation from column employee_id to task parameter employee_id.

Support custom messages on check constraintsCompleted

It is possible to create a custom constraint on a table, so you can add specific checks without having to create a trigger. The message can be created with a dynamic model procedure like this:insert into #msg( msg_id ,msg_description ,msg_location_id ,severity ,msg_error_code ,msg_regular_expression )select 'err_check_constraint_' + tcc.check_constraint_id as msg_id , 'Translation for check constraint error: ' + tcc.check_constraint_id as msg_description , 'popup' as msg_location_id , 0 as severity --error , 547 as msg_error_code --error code when check constraint fails , '.*"' + tcc.check_constraint_id + '".*' as msg_regular_expression --regex that will find the specific constraint from tab_check_constraint tcc where tcc.model_id = @model_id and tcc.branch_id = @branch_id and tcc.generated_by_control_proc_id is null --only manual Then, you have to search in generated translation objects, or the message, with the name of the constraint in it. It would be very helpful, when you can translate the message as a detail of the constraint, just like you can do this on for example a column. The trick now, that it is not a translation, but a message with a translation. The idea is, that this message object is automatically generated, and that it is available on the constraint as a detail, so you can directly translate it. You need this, don't you?

Setup localization settings as user preference in IAMCompleted

As discussed in: Influence numeric decimal separator display format | Thinkwise Community the current behaviour of the Universal GUI is that it takes the localization settings like decimal/thousand separator and date display formatting (as well as first day of week in the date picker) from the first preferred browser language.This is not ideal, because this way the localization settings are bound to a language while users might want to have English as their preferred language, but use their local localization settings. Therefor we would like a possibility to setup localization settings as user preference in IAM (not bound to the language setting in IAM).

Make AI Review a Separate StepOpen

Right now, when a developer sets a code template to "In Review" in Thinkwise, the AI review starts automatically. The problem is that developers often think they’re done at that point and forget to check the AI comments.We suggest making the AI review a separate step before the actual review. This way, developers can handle AI feedback first, and only then move the template into review. It would make the process clearer and prevents extra work for a reviewer.

Automatically refresh updated CSS in a chrome-based web app on mobile devicesOpen

When we update the custom CSS file used for our Universal GUI, the interface on our mobile devices does not automatically reflect the changes.We are currently running our application as a web application through Chrome on our devices.The issue we're facing is that, after updating the custom CSS, we have to manually clear the Chrome cache on each individual device in order for the changes to take effect.Since we have quite a few devices in use, this process is very time-consuming and inefficient.Is there an easier or more automated solution for this?

Allow default constraint for sequenceOpen

Currently sequences are not allowed to be configured as default constraint on a table column. However this would make dev life easier if we could do an insert on a table without having to fetch the next sequence value explicitly. It would work similarly to an identity seed, however you could use the sequence on multiple tables to have a shared unique value, this is a powerful concept.Currently you can build a work-around with tags and dynamic code, but it would be better if it were integrated into de software factory so that it is visibile in the right place and avoids complexity and confusion for new developers.

Add "Custom display type" to domains with elementsOpen

I would like more flexibility in how domain elements are displayed in Universal (lookups, forms, and grids).Currently, in Universal (version 2025.2.11), a domain with an image combo control is always shown as icon + text. In some cases, I would prefer to show only the icon, in others only the text, and sometimes both. The desired display format depends on the specific screen or selection context.We already have a similar feature available for table tasks, called “Custom display type”. I would love to see the same kind of setting applied to domain elements, so they can be displayed differently depending on the level or context.My initial thought is that this configuration could be added to the col table, making it visible in the subject overview where it can be adjusted per form, grid, or other object.Alternatively, it might also make sense to include it in the lookup section or the domain section itself. This depends on broader design considerations, but my preference would be to have full control at the col table level.

Copying data from multiple rows and columnsOpen

We recently updated from version 2024(.2?) to 2025.2.It appeared to some of our users were copy pasting data from tables in Universal, and they were able to select multiple rows and copy the values of all columns.It has since been changed so that only one value from one row and one column can be copied at a time.I guided them through how they can use the export function instead, and from the exported excel sheet they can copy and paste data more freely to their own excel sheet again.However, they are sad that they cannot use the previous copy and paste functionality.I read in the post that this was an intentional change.Maybe it would be possible to distinguish between selected row(s) and selected cells? So that users have more control over selected values like in Excel?Or maybe you could give users an option between copying a single value and copying a whole row?

pretty print in multiline form fieldOpen

The WMS application we are developing integrates extensively with external systems, such as picking solutions and ERP platforms.Communication between these systems is handled through XML messaging. Occasionally, a message may fail.For example, when an incorrect value is provided, such as sending a string where an integer is expected.Whenever an error occurs, whether due to syntax or processing issues, the XML message is stored in a designated failed folder. At the same time, a record is created in the application’s interface_error table. This record contains both the XML body and the corresponding error message, enabling users to review the failed message. From there, they can choose to resend it to the target system or take alternative corrective actions.To improve readability and usability, we would like to display the XML content using pretty print formatting in the multiline form field.So it looks like this:In stead of this:

Add input parameter "saveToSentItems" to email connectorOpen

I've created a process flow that sends emails using the email connector, which connects to Microsoft (Graph). The connector works fine, but the only thing I'm missing is the ability to save the emails to the "Sent Items" folder in the mailbox. Could an input parameter be added to the email connector for this?
