Graphic display of branchesMerged

It would be benificial when the SF could show a graph of the branches to make it visually clear how the different branches are related to eachother and how (and if) they are merged.Something similar to:

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?

Tiles menu with more than 2 levelsOpen

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.

Automatically switch to merged branch after merge session.Merged

ProblemWhen I execute a merge and put my old branch on inactive, it remains my active branch. 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.

Auto refresh on revisiting a page in Universal GUIPartially completed

As a user I would like to navigate in my application and in case I revisit an already open page, then that page should display the latest data by auto-refreshing, and not wait until the auto-refresh interval elapses in case that is set. e.g I have a page form where I modify information but the effect of those modifications extends to the display of the same information into several other pages. Upon revisiting a page which I had open  previously I would like it to see the latest information that was entered, meaning the page to auto-refresh when revisited.I open page A that displays fields name ‘Dino’ and surname ‘Saur’I open page B that displays fields name ‘Dino’ and surname ‘Saur’ , address, etc I modify in page B the field surname to ‘Lizard’I revisit Page A which I previously opened and still has surname as ‘Saur’ and not ‘Lizard’.

Third option for manual data conversion - SmartOpen

Our team is currently investigating adding our manual data conversion scripts to the SF instead of managing them manually and running a bunch of scripts before and after the 020-upgrade script.We ran into a small issue, the current option for adding manual data conversion including from version x to y or always don't exactly suffice. We are looking for a smart option in between those two, which works similarly to a smart upgrade of tables, control procedures or tasks. An example of the problem, I have version 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 of a project. If I add a manual conversion script to the 1.2 using the ‘always’ option, this script is generated into any upgrade following the 1.2 upgrades. For example 1.1 → 1.2, 1.1 → 1.3 but also 1.3 → 1.4. And that one we find less desirable.If we chose the second manual data conversion option, x to y, and add the script to the 1.2 version we have to specify which specific version the code is generated from (the x). Most logical would be to specify this manual data conversion script to be applicable from 1.1 to 1.2. Now the conversion script is only generated into upgrades from 1.1 → 1.2. Not into 1.1 → 1.3 for example.  We would like to be able to generate these into upgrade scripts ‘smart’-ly. Thus, if we add a manual conversion script in version 1.2, it will be generated in updates 1.1 → 1.2, 1.1 → 1.3, 1.1 → 1.4, etc. But not into the upgrade script 1.3 → 1.4.Splitting up upgrades and upgrading from 1.1→ 1.2 and then 1.2→ 1.3 manually doesn't work for us as we have about 40 instances of our applications running as production databases, a fair number of which are 24/7 available/active with limited time for downtime/upgrades.

Visual indication that a process flow is running (Universal)Completed

I would like to see that the GUI shows a visuals indicator that a user is in a GUI flow. Now when you go from flow starting task A to task B (with a for example a decision node or HTTP requests in between) the user doesn't see that a next task is coming up. Implementation could be something like a tsf_send_progress idea where are user is aware that the flow is getting info, making a decision or whatever is in the flow.

SVG Height and WidthOpen

Hey there, Since the recent update 2023.1, we've been facing some issues with SVG files in the Universal GUI. Apparently, the update removed some safety guards on SVGs in combo images, which makes poorly formatted SVGs give different results.As developers, we want to make our lives easier when it comes to working with SVGs. Right now, we have to manually check every SVG file to ensure that the height and width dimensions are included in the datafile. It's quite a hassle, and we're sure you can relate to that!So, we thought it would be awesome if you could add a new feature to the Universal GUI that automatically extracts the dimensions from the SVG file. That way, we can make sure that our SVGs display correctly in the Universal GUI without having to spend a lot of time and effort checking each file.We believe that adding this feature would save us a lot of time and improve the overall user experience of the platform. What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts on this!Regards,Balazs

Merge conflicts on the x and y axis of objectsClosed

SituationWhen editing process flows or data model diagrams, we sometimes get merge conflicts on the location of process flow actions and tables in the diagram. If for example, in branch A I move process action Z a bit to the left and in branch B a collogue moves branch B a bit to the right, this results in a merge conflict. SolutionSince this is merely an aesthetic change I do not want to be bothered by it when trying to merge my branch. When you rearrange an entire process flow these conflicts can stack up and confuse (junior) developers. So I think it should be possible to eitherDon’t take this conflicts into account when creating a merge session Add a setting so I can configure the SF to not takes these conflicts into account.

DevExpress Word export - TableLayout propertyOpen

As discussed in this topic:DevExpress Word export - Tables aren't adjustable | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)It would be great if the TableLayout property in DevExpress could be take into consideration when exporting a report to Word within the SF process action via a parameter for example. Currently when a report gets exported to Word the tables that’ve been set up in DevExpress aren’t manually adjustable because they’re rendered as labels or text boxes.

Set a language per application, including IAM and SF.Open

As we are located in Brazil, I am really missing the option to set a language per application. For example we have the IAM and SF that I would like in English (because it's not fully translated for pt-BR). And then I have applications completely in pt-BR but also only in English. Now I can only set my language globally. So my idea here is:to set a specific IAM language to set a specific language per ApplicationThe user defined language can continue to be the default.   To not have these type of situations anymore

Simple badge without templateOpen

Often all we need for a badge is the number of rows in a grid. Instead of having to write a template for every new badge it would be a time saver to have a badge that does the same as a count aggregation underneath a grid.

Resource Scheduler - Better sortingOpen

Hi,I am using the Resource Scheduler in the universal GUI, I really like the look and feel, but I dont really like the way the sorting is working right now.By default is sorts (within a resource):Start date end date nameIn my opinion the sorting should have more customization options.For example:I want it to sort how my subject is sorted, because I have an order column in my appointments. In my example I want the first 4 green ones like they are, but then the 5, 6 and 7 from the blue one, then the 8 and 9 from the yellow and then the 10 and 13 from blue again. If the events dont overlap, then they can start behind the others, but with overlap, I would like it to sort with the order numbers in the table.

TOTP / MFA - Device trust settingOpen

It would be great if the Multi-Factor Authentication functionality of Thinkwise provides a ‘Trust device for X days’ setting. This should then not trigger another MFA request for that user on that specific device for the configured amount of days, while still prompting for the password (1 factor).Expected functionality would be similar as described here for Azure AD, but then for Thinkwise IAM accounts: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/recommendation-mfa-from-known-devicesImportant: the number of days should be configurable by us.

'Default User Groups' should always be updated by Sync to IAMOpen

​Hi,To enable us developers, apply correct role assignment to IAM 'User Groups' from SF via 'Default User Groups'. Default User Groups from Software Factory should be used as a template for related applications' User Groups in IAM.New changes from 'Default User Groups' should always apply and overwrite every time US developers 'Sync To IAM.'We were informed that "if you want to un-grant access of existing roles, you need to change it within the IAM as the Default user group will not overrule (and thus not un-grant) the existing role assignment" , in our recent ticket in TCP.Every deployments from SF to different environments or If we need to apply corrections for non development environments, We sync to IAM:* After creation once the an environment is upgraded with the new objects from SF * We do a 'Sync to IAM' for the rights changes in the 'Roles' and 'Default User Groups' from the main branch* After 'Sync to IAM' from SF, I press the 'Apply Default Authorization' in IAM for the synced 'Default User Groups(SF)' to apply on 'User Groups(IAM)'* Then the 'User Groups' from IAM should mirror the 'Default User Groups' from SF regardless of if a user group is just new or old, and SF User Group is the main templateThis should be the case so that, It is faster to remove/add roles from a user group if changes were introduced by the users.and the default user groups changes is always kept in every creation of a branch of a model and is no need to manually change the role assignments from User Groups in IAM every time we have a deployment.We have scenarios where:If the Admin gets a complain that a User is missing Roles then a Custom IAM user group can be created to attach on the related problematic user(s). A ticket to update the defaults in case it is for everyone on the same Default User group should be raised to do so in SF.If the Admin/Manager sees a User having more permissions than expected a temporary removal from the Default User Group can be made. A ticket to update the defaults in case it is for everyone on the same default User group should be raised to do so in SF or add an extra default User group to cater for this scenario of Users.Regards,Jeff  ​

Mentioning other users with @user1 @usergroupAOpen

Related to push-notifications topic, I have an idea which is verry common in modern applications and that is mentioning other users with @user1 @user2 @usergroupA so that you can actively interact with other users or even user groups related to a specific record.For example to ask questions, or give important updates, or to request additional actions (review) or whatever it might be.
