Do not clear filter bar on remove filterOpen

Not sure how other developers/users experience this but I found that this never works how I expect it to work. When searching for a specific entry(filter based on text) and applying quick filters you have to option to clear filters. But doing this it also removes the text based filter in the filter bar. I found 0% cases where this was the expected result. I actually wanted the equivalent of filters: clear filters, without having to do 3 clicks.My suggestion is either add an option: remove quick filters. Or have remove filters not clear the filter search bar.

Password strength per UserOpen

At this moment it is only possible to set the password strenght for the entire application.It would be nice to do this per user of usergroupFor example:We have users at the office which we want to use the higher password strength but also users in our warehouse wich we want to use al lower strenght because the are only using a simple scanning device (just a digit code as inlog).Now we are forced to use the lowest strengt for everybody.

Guiding users to a password with required featuresOpen

Currently, users are informed of the relative strength of the chosen password (f.e. ‘Strength 4/5’). However, they are not informed what strength is required, and how they can achieve this strength. It would be helpful to users if they are shown which features they need to add to their password to achieve the required strength (f.e.: add 2 symbols to your password, add 2 numbers, ...)

Option to set field width and/or height to 100% in formsOpen

In many scenarios, it would be highly desirable for the unused space on a form to be used to maximize text fields in width and/or height.Preferably with an extra option 'Maximize (Y/N)' or an option to set the width and height as a percentage of the available space.

View type Full Week for Resource scheduler (Windows & Web)Completed

It's great to have different view types for the resource scheduler (see below).Unfortunately the Full Week view (https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/17623/controls-and-libraries/scheduler/views/full-week-view), is not supported in the GUI. Because our production works in shifts, 7 days a week, it would be more readable to have 7 days besides each other (like the Work week view).This would make it more usable for us. It could even replace the Week view. Don't forget the startday of the week.

Add information to logging file-namesCompleted

For context: I'm a support engineer, so I look a lot in the Indicium log files for error analysis, I download them for others to analyse, etc. These are mainly Production and Demo environments.Problem: We have a lot of TW applications, that share a server. Logging can be found in the folders belonging to these applications, this is Indicium and Indicium_universal logging. The issue here is with the filenames of these logfiles, these are the same for all applications.Example: Note that these are two different applications and two different Indicium types, but the filenames are identical. This can lead to looking at the wrong loggin by accident, or to mistakes after downloading these, as the files replace each other and are nog easily recognized outside this context. Idea: It'd be much more convenient and reduce risks plus time spent by support, if the application names and indicium-type could be added to the logfile names. So my two examples would then be something like this:1 : GRP05-Indicium-20210422.txt2 : GRP08-IndiciumUniversal-20210422.txtIs is possible to change this?

SSO exception neededCompleted

It is great that Indicium and Universal GUI now support SSO based on the Open ID protocol. In our case we'll use Azure AD as Identity Provider and wish to enable SSO with Universal. Since Universal GUI 2021.1.15 we can enjoy the beauty of SSO, PWA ánd Seamless SSO. The Seamless SSO is how we want to have it working for our end users, as there is no added value in having to click through multiple screens in 99% of the cases. This means that we have to set loginOptionsHidden or loginOptionsDisabled to true in the config.json of Universal GUI and set a DefaultIdentityProvider in Indicium appsettings.json.However, the current solution is a bit too rigid, as there is no way to circumvent the said Seamless SSO, except for changing the Indicium setting and redeploying Indicium. There are multiple scenario's for which this rigidness is unwanted: If we wish to enable multiple Open ID providers, but still wish to make it as Seamless as possible for each individual user If 1 of our foreign offices does not have Azure AD or if a user is not added as a Guest User in our tenant, we might want to give those users an IAM account If we plan to create customer portals: same as with first bullet If Azure AD is down for some unexpected reason, then we want to be able to get into our application using an IAM admin account as backup If (like we do on TEST now) we want to test with dummy users who reference a User Group, we want to create those users in IAM and not in Azure AD. For all regular users (especially with admin rights) in TEST we would like to enforce Azure AD SSO + MFA though. Now what we like best as a solution would be something client-side, which could be removed when clearing cache (ideally it would not be removed for every Universal GUI upgrade we get though). Given the above examples I don’t think it is ever going to be very useful to have the DefaultIdentityProvider setting in appsettings.json. How about adding a ‘Remember my choice’ checkbox on the Indicium login screen which value is stored in the cache?This provides all the benefits we’re looking for: In case of enabling multiple Open ID providers, a default can be selected by the user, enabling Seamless login the next time they login For non-Open ID users they can simply use the IAM login and perhaps also use Stay signed in + Remember my choice checkboxes to reduce the login steps It provides a way to get into Thinkwise in case the Open ID provider is not available (either through Clear cache or through Incognito browser) It will always and easily allow us to circumvent SSO default when testing in an Incognito browser tab An alternative would be to have a second login screen on Indicium with its own URL that is not impacted by the SSO settings, but it’s less convenient than above solution. There could be other alternatives, and we’ll leave the choice up to you. But something is needed here.

Ability to influence the Mandatory field errorOpen

When using the Formlist and having mandatory fields, if I don't enter a value in the field, the GUI will give me a message stating that I didn't fill in a value for Field X. The problem is that due to the table construction and overall layout, the column name does not indicate which empty field is the problem.Here the implementation (in Dutch):ImplementationIn the implementation, a Formlist is used to have a label on the left side and a input field on the right. But the field on the right can be different each row. For instance, it could be a Yes/No field, a Numeric field or a Alphanumeric field; like in the screenshot above. In this case the user didn't fill in the correct salutation but the message does not explain that; it refers to the field.If there would be a way possible to influence the way the Mandatory field error message and show a translation, this whole challenge would be solved. Then 'Alphanumeric value’ would be replaced by 'Salutation for Man’.

Include Two Factor setting in IAM global configurationOpen

Currently if you would like to use the Two Factor Authentication feature a set of parameters have to be included in the settings.json. This includes an SMTP account and password.I would like to be able to store these settings in IAM's global configuration page. The settings values should also be hashed on the IAM database. I do not want my password to be stored as plain text.This will allow me to stored these setting in a safe way in IAM and no longer have them included in a .json file which is located on my server.

Indicate whether an object is part of a process flowOpen

Currently when configuring roles the only way to determine whether an object is part of a process flow is by opening the process flow screens and navigate through the list of process flows.When assigning rights to objects, I would like to be able to see whether the object is part of a process flow. When I am assigning the rights by using the task and the object is part of a process flow, I would like this to be mentioned in the task popup and be able to assign the rights to this process flow and all of it's actions for within the task popup.

User logging of device resolutionOpen

With the creation of the Universal GUI we have been given the option to set up breakpoints for screens. This allows you to change the screentype based upon a specific resolution. A cool feature.Unfortunately often you are not fully aware of which resolutions are being used by your users. It would be of great help if IAM can log the resolutions used by users. This will allow you the analyze this data and determine the most used resolutions, for which you can create additional breakpoints.

Filter based on other column valuesOpen

Currently the Filter options in the GUI do not allow you to check the values of columns based upon other columns. In some cases you would like to set a filter based upon the values of a specific column.For example I would like to select all records (orders) of which the delivery date is equal to the records it's order date. Currently the GUI does not allow you to set such a filter.

Display Combo/Radio elements as stars in form (and maybe list)Open

To make it easier for users to rate some values in our application, we give a value between 1 till 5. So we would like to give the option to rate with stars.   Basically the value on the database is ‘4’ for both. Would it be possible to create a control in the GUI to display elements like this? The amount of stars can be the amount of elements you add to the domain. Condition is that the elements should have a increasing number on.

Improve SF - Clear invisible data by changing prefilter typeClosed

 The desired situationWhen changing the prefilter type, the SF gives a message to determine whether you want to delete underlying data, or exclude that this change can take place so that a developer is forced to empty underlying data first.  Current situationWhen you change a prefilter type in the SF from prefilter type "Query" to "Prefilter columns" the query is not emptied. When you change a prefilter type in the SF from prefilter type "Prefilter columns" to "Query", the columns underwater are not deleted.The GUI works well because it determines based on the prefilter type whether the where statement is built based on the query or the columns. Example - After changing type detail tab "Prefilter columns” still available

Add do not check validations tickbox to synchronizationDeclined

Please add a tickbox to the synchronization task: do not check for validations. For those cases where you are pretty sure there are no validation problems (code changes only for example). The synchronization task will not run if you did not run validations. But once you ran them then there is the option to ignore the validations. It would be very helpful if there was the option to synchronize without first running validations .

Highlight differences within the Results of a Difference analysisClosed

When selecting an object with different properties you get to see the object in the first project version with all its possible tabs and to the right the related object(s) with their tabs. In no way it is visible to see in which tabs you have to look to find the differences.It would be helpful if there is some way of highlighting the tabs where the differences can be found. This could be a highlight, but maybe even in combination with badges (in which a badge indicates the number of differences that can be found underneath that particular tab.Highlighting different records or fields would then make it easy to find a difference on a list or form.

Specify a collation for 1 specific column in a tableOpen

We like to be able to specify a collation for 1 specific column in a table in the model.Currently our default database collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASWe have this special column that really wants be case-sensitive and wants to be unique preferably Latin1_General_100_CS_AI_SC_UTF8  so that not only case-sensitive uniqueness is guaranteed but als super/subscripting for cubic meters for example. The latter can be achieved, but we cannot seem to find a way to make this specific column case sensitive/sub/supercripting ‘aware’ towards the database.We also would like to have the user interface to react to it as it was case insensitive in lookups for example. How can I achieve such functionality? An example is milliohm [mΩ] to meg(a)ohm [МΩ] (or mOhm and MOhm) - the column for such unit has to be unique since they actually really mean a load of difference in resistance, but I want them to be found by the user when typing in any case ‘mohm’ which currenly follows the collation rules:above is Latin1_General_100_CS_AI_SC_UTF8 (needs UTF8 and case sensitive for for both case and sub/superscripting uniqueness) where you can see that the client will act accordingly to the collation - which we do not want to happen.We want the user to have a result in a lookup that gives both options despite the collation settings:We do not want to bypass the SF-model or fiddle around with tags or dynamic(ly)/manually generated stuff.

IAM Systemflow time and date notationClosed

HiMistakes are made easily when one is not-in-time (somewhere) so to speak.Currently IAM is showing its system flow execution times in UTC time but most of all the application that are used do not use UTC time and that scares people everytime again - more than a few time I hear people get really really quiet when they (think that they) see that the last time the systemflow was executed was 2 hours ago (while in reality it was just a few seconds ago)Is it possible that you can let IAM show its time and dates (preferably also) in local time (currentculture maybe?)rgds Ricky

Tabs stuck in old version of project in SFMerged

Quite often I notice that tabs stick to the old version of a project after copying to a new version. I already made a habit of closing all tabs when creating a new version and opening them again afterwards. But sometimes the version number up in the menu bar also doesn’t go up causing all tabs to open in the old and now inactive project, without any notification that is. Usually I notice this but just now I didn’t and I only found out after making quite a few changes that I cannot upgrade the database because of this issue. I would like to request, rather strongly , to make it possible to switch all opened tabs to the latest version, with the click of a button. Or otherwise to give us an optional setting to make it impossible to make any changes in an inactive project version, even if a tab was already connected to it when it was still active. I will now manually revert all my changes and recreate them in the new project version. It would be a real time and hassle saver if this wasn’t allowed to happen anymore.   Thanks!

New date/time control show user local time based on UTC date/timeMerged

Hello,We are an international logistics company with offices in several countries and are in the process of developing a new OMS (Order Management System). We are now faced with the problem of showing users data in local date/time in the OMS. This can of course be solved, but is rather cumbersome.Is it an idea to develop a new date/time control which automatically shows the local user date/time based on a UTC date/time stored in the database.Thanks in advance,Randolph Beekman

New ugrade step drop tablesClosed

If something goes wrong during the upgrade part of the execute source code most times you have to restore a DB to start over. This is very time consuming and not necessary. If the drop table part from the upgrade step is moved to a new step drop tables, which would be placed at the end of the execute source code. This would mean that if something goes wrong during the upgrade step you could still check the data to see what went wrong. After solving the problem you could then just run the script again, since the backup tables still exist.The only reason I can think of why the drop table is currently in this step is the removal of domains. This could easily be solved by using global temp tables.

Trigger process flow after performing an importOpen

There is currently no process action type that can be used after performing a standard import.I would like to trigger a chain of actions after the import has been finished. Of course it is possible to have an Add row trigger, but this takes enormous amounts of time as it will be performed thousands of times on just one record. Having a trigger after finishing the import reduces the number of flows, plus it can utilize the strength of SQL to update all imported records at once.
