IAM: delete authentication details when changing from IAM to External/Windows authentication typeOpen

We are about to move our users from IAM to External authentication type. Testing and reviewing this migration proved very simple: I only have to change the authentication type for the user from IAM to External. This change seems to do nothing more and nothing less than updating the authentication type of the user in the usr_authentication table. The great benefit of SSO is not only a better User Experience, but also improved security, as it eliminates the need for storing User credentials in different systems (i.e. it reduces the ‘attack surface’ for hackers). For the purpose of improved security I would therefore advocate that the (now obsolete) authentication details from the usr_authentication table in IAM should be deleted when changing from IAM to External or Windows authentication type.I intend to run this script myself after having updated the authentication type, but I would rather see IAM doing this by default:UPDATE usr_authentication SET two_factor_authentication_type = 0 , totp_key = null , totp_active = 0 , password_hash = null , password_salt = null , password_algorithm = nullwhere authentication_type = 4 and password_hash is not nullNote: to make sure this doesn't happen accidently or unnoticed, I would recommend adding a warning message or confirmation when an administrator is changing the authentication type from IAM to External.Note 2: I am not certain about Kerberos authentication type, but I think the same would apply.

Scale to fit 'Print preview' graphical planningClosed

There is a wish to be able scale the print (preview) of for example the graphical planning to a single page. It doesn't matter you have to scale up the to e.g. an A2 or A1 paper to fit everything.The customer would like to incorporate tangible overview of all of the activities in the the workspace as as it would support the core of the business. Now the graphical planning is almost useless outside the TW application.

Rights needed in order to change dinz_iam userOpen

In order to change a dinz_iam user (e.g. email address or login_verification), you need to be that user or you have to have admin rights. We have users (group leaders) who are responsible for a group of users. In this situation it is not possible for them to change the properties email address or login_verification. It is not a good idea to give them admin rights. So there is no work-around for this.

Double click open reportOpen

I really love the double click start task action in the Software Factory and we use it a lot in our application. Next to starting a task, i would also like to be able to start a report with a double click on a row. This would make a great user experience for some screens we have and are used a lot by our customers.Please add the option to start a report with the double click action on a row. I’d prefer to have it in the Web GUI first, but the Universal and Windows GUI should be a close second.

Add the 'Generated' property for process actions and process variablesClosed

I would like to have the ‘Generated’ property available for process actions and process variables. (Possibly process steps as well since these are dependent on process actions and might cause errors during generation if these aren’t generated as well)I am running into problems with partially generated process flows. A process flow can have the ‘Generated’ property in the SF but individual process actions and process variables cannot. This causes some issues when adding process actions/variables through the dynamic model. To manage these generated process actions and variables, we have to write code to check for them and delete/update them when needed. This is functionality that is available for most other objects in the SF by default.There is also the problem that dynamic model code to manage these object without the ‘Generated’ property can only be executed after the other generated objects are automatically deleted and re-created through the generation process. (Because it is impossible to execute code from the dynamic model before the ‘delete generated objects’ process during generation.) In some cases this causes errors during generation when these objects are dependent on objects that do have the ‘Generated’ property.I’ve noticed that these objects do have a ‘Generation’ group label under ‘Trace info’ but the only column available there is ‘By control procedure’. Does this indicate that the ‘Generated’ property is planned to be added in a later release?

Set alignment of column header independent of domain alignmentOpen

Currently the alignment of column headers is identical to that of its domain.We would like to be able to set the column header alignment independent of the domain, for instance to have this default centered or left aligned.Of course this should then also be integrated into the various GUIs.

Add support for Azure SearchOpen

We have a table with 100K+ records and the combined filter needs to search across 10+ columns. This can take a few seconds to return the results. Also this consumes precious database resources. We did optimize the table to only contain the needed data but the performance is not what we like. This functionality is used a lot in our application.Therefor i would like the option to connect Azure Search to this table and let this index the table. The combined filter should send the query to the connected Azure Search instance en return the data to the grid.

Software Factory Show or filter only new translationsOpen

We have a lot of untranslated objects that we do not need to translate, mainly because these objects are not visible in the GUI.We also have a non developer tasked with the translation process (we support 32 languages at this moment).For his workflow we would like to have an overview of all new translation objects based on another project and version. Similar to the “New objects” tab next to the Model Rights screen: Can you add an overview with the New Translation Objects to the Software Factory?

Determine the colors (order) in a cubeClosed

There was already a question about the possibility to specify a custom color palette. Unfortunately, this is not possible at this time, but it would be nice.I would also like to have an easy way to determine the color for a specific value. This makes the result for the end user more intuitive. Take for example a color based on a certain status (On time=Green, Little late=Orange,  Much to late=Red).I know you can try to achieve this in the executed query by forcing an order and existence of all possible values, but that is cumbersome. It also effects the performance. It should be easier.

Enable process flow in popupClosed

I’ve created a process flow which does work in the master screen, but won’t fire in the popup screen. Maybe it’s possible to make this configurable, where you can check in what screen type (zoom, popup, master etc.) the process flow must be triggered.

Smart upgrade: Automatically uncheck dependent objects when unchecking an objectClosed

If you run a smart upgrade and too much is marked, then you can uncheck the too many registered prog objects via the 'manual' option. However, you cannot automatically uncheck the dependent objects.Example: A view was checked by a word in the comment. This object was used in many views with triggers, suddenly causing large delpoyment scripts.

Tile menu maintain scroll positionClosed

When you are using quite a few tile groups, you will have to use the scroll option within this menu often. However after opening a subject, the tile menu automatically be reset to the left side. I personally think this is incorrect. The menu should store the scroll position. Who is with me on this!

Extend SF Code search with multi line searchClosed

I often look for strings in code that spans multiple lines. I think it would be cool if the SF Code search can search for the input string that span multiple lines. With that functionality i can find specific patterns that must be changed.

Unit test use datefield with preset GETDATECompleted

The Software Factory offers a solution in which you can configure unit tests for various functionalities/procedures. You are capable of comparing an expected output of your procedure with an actual output. This is a great way to verify whether changes within your current version might have broken this procedure/functionality.However several procedures use the GETDATE() option. This will lead to the fact that the actual output will never by equal to the expected output, since this was using a different date (and or time) stamp. I would like to be able to overrule the GETDATE() statement within my code into a preset date/time. When this is possible I will be able to compare the expected an actual output properly for these kind of procedures/functionalities.

Skipping an editable checkboxClosed

The idea is to skip an editable field with Enter (or Tab) without it jumping to the next selectable piece like a field, icon or button (without making the next selectable piece read only. shown as below)

Parameterize Web GUI pagination total row count queryClosed

The web GUI creates pages for the grid result. The query for the row count uses hardcoded values e.g.select count(1) as tsf_rowcounterfrom [table] as t1where (t1.[col1] = 50 and t1.[col2] = 145 and t1.[col3] = 17340)We have an issue where this specific query is sometimes slow with an execution time of 50 minutes or more and the paged query is fast (within seconds).Please change the row count query to use parameters instead of hardcoded values. With this change we are able to attach a fixed query plan to have an consistent query performance. Also the number of compiled queries are reduces with this change

Remember activated detail on refreshOpen

In our application we have a screen with multiple detail tabs. On the main table (Structuur), which is on the left of the screen, we have a task with a processflow, which in the end refreshes the screen. When we start the task while the fourth detailtab is activated (in this case Analyseren), it jumps back to the first detailtab (Extern) when the screen has been refreshed. It would be nice if the activated tab before refresh would stay activated.

Exclude "show password" from tab stopOpen

As mentioned in this topicI want to exclude the “Show password” eye in the tab stops. I think it should not be a part of the tabs stops as it's inside the “Password” line. It should skip it and move from “Password” to “Remember me” instead.

Add checkbox in Process Flow screen to indicate the Flow will be a System FlowClosed

Currently all Process actions are available to the user and there's no indication during development that the created Process Flow is a valid System Flow. There's a validation that tells if there are Process actions used that are not available to be used in System Flows but it lacks helping the developer successfully set up a System Flow.With a checkbox in the main Process Flow screen, not only will it be easy to find System Flows in the long list of Process Flows, it can also be the indication for the SF to limit the amount of Process actions available for use. Also the Process schedule tab can then be hidden for Process Flows whilst available for System Flows.When changing an existing Process Flow to be a System Flow, there could be a check upon switching the checkbox if there are Process actions used that are not supported. When true, show a message.

Data sets for process testsClosed

In certain situations you have the ability to use process tests or unit tests for testing the same behaviour. As unit tests are more isolated on concepts like defaults etc, in certain situations a process test could be usefull to.The big advantage of unit tests is having Data sets, so mock data can be temporarily inserted in the database. Process tests doesn't have this feature, although I think it would be very usefull there.Process tests are easier to understand: There is no knowledge necessary of ‘logic data’ such as status codes from concepts like context, defaults etc. In stead, building a process test requires only common sense.For example: When you have a subject with a task. And this task may only be enabled when there is a record selected. Testing this can be achieved via a process test using the GUI, like image below.But the same behaviour could be done via unit tests. Only therefore it's necessary to have any knowledge of the ‘expected output’ values, which is very prone to be wrong. The unit test here should be sufficient, but could be more ‘low code’ by having a drop down of options for the expected parameter in some situations. As here the value of the context only can be 0, 1 or 2 (that is, enabled, disabled or hidden).The only problem with the unit test here is you cannot ensure the concept logic is bound to the subject. So the unit test will pass, but you'll still need a process test to ensure the logic is bound to the subject.In many situations the unit test has a big advantage the concept of Data sets is applied here. Is it possible the Data sets also could be applied to a test case or test suite?

Tile menu designed by end userOpen

At the moment the GUI will organize the items from top left to bottom right according to the space that the screen has available. Because the authorization will be different for users the tile menu will be changed based on the tiles the user have rights to approach.  It would be nice if users can design their own tile menu with a similar functionality (Drag and drop, Resize) as in the SF menu designer.  Predefined menu based on developers SF design​​​​Design functionality available for end-userUser preferences - Tile menuIt would definitely boost user-friendliness 👏😁

Disable add/edit/delete buttons when type is viewCompleted

A view is by default not editable so it would be nice if the SF automatically disables the add/delete/edit/mass update and import buttons when you create a view. Now it is often forgotten to disable the buttons what results in errors if the user uses them.
