Add option to default report zoom level for Page Width in previewOpen

As discussed inAt this moment it is only possible to set the default zoom level to 100% and 200% with the extended property DevReportZoom. Also when i set this value to 0 the Whole Page option is selected. I don’t know if that’s a feature or bug.Anyway we would really like to have an option to set the default zoom level to Page Width

Export to Excel worksheets using tasks and process flowOpen

I'd like to be able to export data to Excel-file, where different data is written into different worksheets within a single Excel-file. This has to be done without the user continuously selecting a different grid and pressing export to excel.I'm thinking about using a trigger-task to start the proces. Then use other tasks to create content for worksheets. I'd like to use Write file to export this content to a specific worksheet in the mentioned Excel file. So would need an additional option to indicate the name of the worksheet in the Write file action.

Show the applied objects per Translation objectClosed

To Make the translations screen easier to use please add either a badge with the number of objects for a specific translation or add a reference showing the objects. Now If i want to rename a column i first have to check if the column is used more than once. If the translations screen would show me the translation object is used only once i can safely change the translation.

Copy task add option not to copy control proceduresMerged

I would like to suggest the idea when copying a task to add a parameter whether to copy the control procedures and the program objects. Most of the time when you copy a task you don't want the control procedure of the copied task to be bound to the new task, so most of the time you need to de-assign the control procedure.So when unchecking this parameter the copy task does only copy the task, the task parameters, the task references and the table task and table task fields. (in that case you need to create a new control procedure just like when adding a new task)

Parent/child work items in specification taskboardClosed

I'd like to use the kanban board in the Software Factory, but one of the drawbacks for me is the lack of nested work items. I'd like to be able to group them. For example: a work item to create a table, and this parent work item has child work items like datamodelling, UI/UX, setup of the combined filter, screentypes etc.

Select color and font from list of selected itemsOpen

Currently you can select any font and color that is a available within Thinkwise.For styling purposes I'd like to preselect a number of colors and fonts that can be used in the application and only select one of these colors and fonts. In this way I can't make a mistake and selecting something alike, but not exactly the same. Furthermore it will then be easier to change these selected colors and fonts as part of a theme.Multiple themes can have the same names for these selected items, but have different colors and fonts associated to them. In this way you define these items at a, for instance, project level and give them actual content within a theme. Usage can then refer to the defined items, which might even be a combination of color and font.Think about a single way to define a validation error or warning, or a single way to present too_many, too_few, etc.

Styling active pre-filters with different iconMerged

We use prefilters a lot as “switches”. When the prefilter is switch on we would like to change not only it's background but the icon to another one and when it's “inactive” change the icon back to its default. Let say like styling with CSS “:active:focus” I think it would be a great feature for all customers. We all use “On/Off” pre-filters and let us create 2 icons “Button ON / Button OFF” icons or “Green / Red”, “Switch ON / Off” etc.

Jump Links to go further down on the Grid View and Form View to all information on 1 ViewOpen

Jump Links to go further down on the Grid View and Form View to all information on 1 View and avoid using multiple tabs.

If possible to collapse/expand the Form Detailed View.Merged

If possible to auto-hide / auto-appear the Form Detailed View.For example to have a collapsible/expandable Form Detailed View, if the user double-clicks on record or clicks on a specific button/icon to expand/collapse that View.We could have records on Grid View and use a collapsible/expandable Form Detailed View to show details of the record.Similarly how the Main menu works as seen on the attached image.

Process activities to rolesClosed

While configuring roles in my project, I noticed that the roles look similar to activities in the process analysis. For example 'new quotation' and 'send quotation'. I think it would be a nice addition to the Software Factory if it would be possible to convert certain process activities (user requirements) into roles.

Set default of new role standard to All rightsDeclined

It has happened too often that we create a single role in order to deploy a package for testing to Thinkwise, that we have missed to check the All rights option.Setting this field default to True will help alleviate this error.Further on when setting specific rights, this toggle can be removed automatically.Compare this to the toggles for subject performance of default, context, layout and badge. In which case the stored procedures are initially not called, but only after a template has been linked to a program object.

Hide pivot table fields automatically (unpin).Open

When you need the available space to show the pivot table or chart, but you want the user to be able to drag&drop cube fields, it would be nice if you could hide the pivot table fields by default and only show them when requested. Just like you hide the menu (unpin).

Remark as 'starter' for helpClosed

At a limited number of locations, eg. table and column, the SF allows to post a remark on the intended use of that object. Often I just copy that entry verbatim to the help field for the same object. It is little trouble to do by hand, but it would be nice if the SF copied the remark to the translation-object/help-field by default as a starter.

Setting for confirmation when a task has completed successfullyOpen

This idea focuses on a new setting for tasks. This settings would allow you to indicate whether you want to receive confirmation that the task has run successfully after its execution.For some tasks you just want to be sure that they have been run completely and successfully. It would also be ideal for situations where you work on some other things while the task is running. You will then be notified when it is completed.Currently, this can be achieved by writing additional code or including the task in a process flow. I would prefer to have a formal setting in the model to do this.

Conditional layout in dropdownOpen

I would like to have the option to colour items in a dropdown. something like a conditional layout in a table column.e.g. to express a preference in wich items to choose from the dropdown first (green items are the prevalent values, yellow are next, red are last)

List bar menu is enforced to use groups even with 1 page under itOpen

Expectation is that if it is a single page is under a group that we have the page elevated, to eliminate too many actions on the menu itself. User does not need to go from group dropdown to click on single page of the group. It needs to elevate the page in place of the group and no dropdown.

Menu item at main levelMerged

With menu list and menu treeview you always have to have at least a group. Usually this is fine. Unfortunately there are situations in which a specific menu item is requested to be directly clickable, without first having to open the group.This seems currently impossible, but would be a nice addition.

Add default value type expression or script to Data conversionMerged

When adding data conversion it would be great to have other options than only adding a constant default value.For the develop environment this may be sufficient, but when setting it through to other environments you lose the option to look into the database and see which constant value is appropriate.Being able to have expressions you can at least determine an appropriate value. Being able to add a script, you even have the option to add a dummy record and reference that one. This particularly when a foreign key field changes to mandatory.

Mundane tasks helper tasksClosed

The SF tries to help me in many ways to quickly get on with my work. One area that still takes a lot of copy/paste or manual typing, is writing SQL. Either for templates of checking stuff on the database interactively. I get repetitively SQL insulted by typing - yet again - the full semantic key in a join of three tables somewhere at the bottom of the data model hierarchy. Why is that? It is not because the SF does not know which columns I want to join; 97% +/-3% of the time it is the full key that those tables share. The problem is that I can not tell the SF to write a query skeleton for me without me instructing the SF so via SQL. What I want to do is: select four tables click the 'write join clause to clipboard' button paste the generated 'select t1.*, t2.*..tn* from t1 join t2 on available keys... tn on available keys' in the SQL editor of choice in the dialect configured for this project. Of course I also like to have an insert- and update statement in the same manner, with all columns mentioned and defaults filled out (might be as comment). The tasks could be made available in the data modeller. In that case the join-generator could take in account the references that one highlighted.I may have a draft of half this functionality that works on the system tables of DB2 instead of on the SF.

Base versus work projectsClosed

9 out of 10 times when creating a new project we create a work project. when people are new to the SF it can be very confusion to have the option 'work or base' project. Would it be an idea to remove this option when creating a new project? Every project you create will be a work project. When you like to create a base project you can go to the variant in the advanced menu.

Domain control buttonDeclined

An idea to make a domain control type that is a button.At this moment i'm using a check box instead of a button.

Add Theme, Default Menu and Language to Runtime ConfigurationsClosed

Can 'Theme', 'Default Menu' and Language be added as optional fields in Runtime configurations in SF, to test various themes and menu's during development more efficient?

Modeling of entity life cycleClosed

Almost every entity in a system has a life cycle, either explicit or implicit. Usually the life cycle is implemented as a status column, with a domain and elements. It is not directly obvious though, which column implements the life cycle, which states are possible and which database values mean that an instance of the entity is active, for example. It happens that related entities have inconsistent statuses. Those discrepancies can be resolved in code, but add complexity and make it hard to understand what happens in the application. I propose a standard tab in the data model viewer that allows to describe the life cycle of an entity. Building on that, layout, default and context functionality can be modeled because the SF now has knowledge of which column implements the life cycle. Besides that, the business process modeler can use this information to define which process applies to which part of the life cycle. In the process flow designer it can be used to model, rather than program, conditional steps.

Skip read-only fields, when leaving field or column using then Enter or Tab keyOpen

I wish to have an option to skip all read-only fields, after entering a value in a field.In some scenario's the tab key must be pressed multiple times to reach next fiels.

Having a Home Button in Universal GUIOpen

We need to have a Home button in the top ribbon of the Universal GUI to be able to return to the initial login splash page or to a predefined default page.The problem is when having the option to Hide Documents as enabled, means you cannot see the opened pages and you cannot close them. If those are not visible to close them, you can’t really see the initial login splash page at any time after login in.The requested solution:
