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.

Requirements & design - Form layoutClosed

Form requirement - is it possible toe remove the new column for the field Sequence (Position) so that the field are over 2 colums instead of 3 so there is more space for the trees on the left.

Merging database diagram conflictsClosed

Facing several times a merging conflict due to slightly changed data model diagrams that some table is moved to different position.Like when in existing data model diagram in trunk a table is moved to different position and same happened in a branch version also, but then to different position.Can this be avoided that it comes as conflict?

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.

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.
