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)

Return the chosen option from a message using tsf_send_messageClosed

It is possible to create message options. It is impossible to use the chosen option as input in template code. This should be available.

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 designDesign functionality available for end-userUser preferences - Tile menuIt would definitely boost user-friendliness 👏😁

A visual way to know if filters available are hidden because of screensize on Universal GUIOpen

We need a way to highlight or change color of the 3 dots in the attached screenshot, so users will know that there are filters available but because of the screen size they are hidden.

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.

Option to only Sync Roles/Authorisation settings from SF to IAMCompleted

From version 2019.1, making a little adjustment in Roles requires a full sync between SF and IAM. An option to only Sync Roles/Authorisation Settings will help to make this routine less heavy.

Locking project version upon syncing project version to IAMCompleted

Currently it's possible to add/alter/delete model objects of a project version that is being synced at that moment. This can cause that there are loose objects in IAM.For example there was a sync going on in the project I work on. At the time of the sync, another developer deleted a table (with columns). But during the syncing process, the columns are synced first and the tables later. During the syncing of columns and syncing of tables, the table has been deleted, causing the table to not end up in IAM. But the columns were already there.This inconsistency caused Indicium (Universal) to not run any System Flows for that application because the model was incorrect.I would like a protection for this as upon opening the IAM application there's no visible error or anything about the model being incomplete or incorrect. The only way to find out things are not working properly is by looking in the Log of Indicium.

Project version incrementCompleted

When you copy a project version, the Software Factory automatically gets the current project version +0.10. I always change that to +0.01. For example: If I'm copying project version 1.34 to a new version, the SF suggests 1.44, but I want it to be 1.35. Maybe make the project version number increment a variable that you can set per project?

Support for sequencesCompleted

All supported databases support the concept of sequences. To clarify what a sequence is, I'll quote Microsoft: A sequence is a user-defined schema bound object that generates a sequence of numeric values according to the specification with which the sequence was created. The sequence of numeric values is generated in an ascending or descending order at a defined interval and can be configured to restart (cycle) when exhausted. Sequences, unlike identity columns, are not associated with specific tables. Applications refer to a sequence object to retrieve its next value. The relationship between sequences and tables is controlled by the application. User applications can reference a sequence object and coordinate the values across multiple rows and tables. Sequences are quite useful in various scenario's, for example to assign (unique) batch-numbers the products that have been produced and are being stored in a stock table. I think it would be useful if we could make use of these sequences and be able to define them within the Software Factory. I think the best place to define them would be at the datamodel-level. It should have options like: Name Datatype Start with value Increment value Min value (optional) Max value (optional) Cycle (no/yes)

More than just static expected output values at unit testsCompleted

Hi!When unit-testing, for instance default control procedures, I would like to to be able to compare the expected output with something else than a static value. It would be nice to compare the test result with the result of a query or even something like NOT NULL.I need to check if the result of the test matches the current date + 1 month. Since this changes every milisecond I can’t compare this to a static value. It would be great to compare it to:dateadd(month , 1 , getdate()) But comparing it to NOT NULL would help too, since this at least gives some convidence that the code is behaving as expected.As it is, I see no way to create a functional unit test for this default code procedure.

password expiration in IAMCompleted

It would be a very nice feature if we can set a default password expiration, as in 2 month for example. So after 2 months the user will be forced into changing it's password.

Time controlCompleted

Since the update to v2020.02 the time fields with control time shows HH:mm:ss including the seconds. In the previous version 2018.2 this control was shown as HH:mm.How can we change this so, that our time fields only show HH:mm??We work a lot with time fields and the seconds are not relevant for us. So I don’t want to frustrate the users with seconds in all the time fields. However, for the trace fields we want to show the seconds, so a solution where all time fields are changed to not showing the seconds is not acceptable.Hope someone can help me out..(Maybe someone can change this issue to question!!! The portal keeps telling me that the kind of topic is not selected, but the quesion bullet is marked.

Possibility to make domain elements "Inactive"Completed

We've got a table with years of historic data. Numerous fields are dropdowns with a fixed set of of domain elements. A customer now has the desire to come up with a complete different set of possible values and keep the historic data working (with the old values). There is no way to get this done with how domains and elements work currently. A great addition (i.m.h.o) would be the addition of a new field in a domain element "active" or "available_to_gui" or something like that. This would then reslult in the GUI not showing elements that are not active when the drop is pulled (or grayed out if that's a better way), but in that matter the translation would still work for historic data. When adding new records to the table, the inactive elements should not show up.

Built-in logging possibilitiesCompleted

We as software developers have a need to write logs so that our support department as well as ourselves have some information as to why some processes might not be working as expected. One standard moment to write to a log would be within a catch clause... now the SF generates (most of) our catch clauses, so the only way for us to log caught messages would be if Thinkwise provides us with a standard way of logging (which is called from the generated catch clauses by default). But of course we also need to be able to call the log procedure ourselves. The most important thing to factor in here is that most issues get rolled back, undoing any logging in the process if not implemented correctly. I'm thinking of a procedure (something like dbo.tsf_write_log) which at least takes a message (nvarchar(max)), but maybe also other stuff, like procedure name or the likes of that. Of course things like a timestamp get added automatically by the logging procedure

After merge to trunk set previous project to the previous version of the trunkCompleted

Currently after merging a branch back to the trunk the previous project of the new trunk version will be a snapshot version. However i have found no instance where this was the wanted result. Now after a merge I have to manually change the previous version of the project otherwise new columns will not be created. Instead of the snapshot set previous version to the actual previous version of the trunk. This won't always be correct, but it will be sometimes correct whereas the snapshot seems to be always incorrect.

Support use of cursor_to_col_id in Default procedures using Universal GUICompleted

Using the Windows GUI it's possible to perform a check on the entered value and (re-)place the cursor in the desired field using cursor_to_col_id in a Default procedure. This only works when the user uses [Enter].A same kind of validating is needed in Universal GUI, but then should also “be aware” of the user leaving the field using [Tab].

Web GUI print preview popup default maximizedOpen

We use the print preview popup component a lot in our application. To get more information on the screen without additional mouse clicks we would like to have an option to open this popup maximized. That way the user has a larger part of the report visible without the need of maximizing the popup every time he views an report.
