A new screen component to show status information.Closed

I would like to have a screen component with status information. A subject could have a "status view". The status view is a SF-table that refreshes based on the "Auto refresh" settings. You should be able to customize the apperance of the status component in a theme.

Give a warning when manually deploying a view if triggers existOpen

During development or testing you often have to make small changes to views. Deploying an entire project just to make a small change to a view is a bit overkill. So often during changing views you also deploy them in the functionality - result screen. However, if there were triggers on the views these are dropped since the SF does a drop and create. Since it's not always clear which views are editable often the triggers are forgotten when manually deploying a view. The SF already knows there are triggers existing on this view. Why not give a warning to let the user know that the triggers also need to be deployed, when triggers exist for the view?

Search for a task in a Gantt chartClosed

I would like a search option to find a task in a Gantt chart. In our current version (2018.2) I can only search and filter resources.

Using a different diff/merge tool when solving template conflictsClosed

When a template code conflict occurs during a merge session it's possible to merge the code via an external diff/merge tool. TSF requires the existence of the diff/merge tools WinMerge or Kdiff3. We actually use UltraCompare as the default diff/merge tool when comparing code. It would be nice if we could configure the default diff/merge tool for the TSF.

Changable font and size of labelsClosed

Hello Community, I would like to change the font and size of labels. Right now it is possible to change them but you will change them in the whole application. Example: I want to change ticketnr to be the same size as the number 28. Kind regards, Thijs Holterman

Task option: only one running task at a timeDeclined

Please add a tickbox on a task to prevent a second task of the same task to run at the same time. I noticed that with the option to run tasks in the background this is becoming more of an issue. It would be great if there was a standard solution for this, instead of the need to program this in all business tasks.

Combine prefilter and tasksClosed

Lets say I have a prefilter for all issues with status 65. I'd think it would be a nice addition if I could configure a drag 'n drop task so that if I drag an issue to the prefilter, the status gets updated to 65. I don't know if that makes sense, but a coworker and I talked about it and I figured it was a good idea.

Validation untranslated objects database valueClosed

Currently, in the validations for translated objects, the object type in the tree is displayed with its database value instead of the look-up value. I'd like it to be the look-up value so I don't have to open the form to see the object type. Object type

Multi level UI - Simplified user interfaceOpen

To make the learning experiene as smooth as possible, I think we need to option to define different levels for the same user. In this way, a new user works in a simplified user interface with only the basic functions. After gaining some experience, the user can level up to use more advanced options. Without asking the administrator to change his user group. We could facilitate to with the definition of the difficulty level on a role-level for the specific user group. For the user group Backoffice for example, maybe the role to create a customer is a ‘beginner’-task but to create an invoice is an ‘advanced’-task. Ideally these levels should be configurable in IAM so if you want two levels that should be possible but also three or five. Configuration in IAM Then, in the end application, an end user can change the difficulty level of the UI just as easy as changing its display language.  When a user choses the advanced level, he gets all the roles designated to the advanced level but also the Beginner level. The Expert level get al the roles of the advanced and beginner level. Change the user Level As an final addition the user should be able to customize his own level by picking and choosing out of all the assigned roles of his user group(s).

subject search bar for grid/form itemsOpen

In larger tables, sometimes finding the column in the grid/form list is just a stupid search. Would it be possible to create a search, that will highlight (not filter) the matching columns? In the right upper corner you type something like 'item_tracking_number’ and the matching row lights up like a Christmas tree!

Quick generate of all code groupsDeclined

The idea is similar to this idea:Only the above idea is for one table, my idea is for all code groups.Currenty after making a new project version, the code groups are not generates and that means they are not visible in the Code overview screen. This is a screen I use regularly to find all functionality applied to a table/view, tasks and other objects. Now I either need to Generate code groups per Code group that is present or generate definitions for the whole project version, which may also bother other developers in the same project version.A button to quickly generate all code groups would be a great solution. This task can then be attached to the 'Program Objects’ table. That way the Task is present in the Code overview screen.

Open menu, after Refresh Model in Mobile GUIClosed

During development, the task 'Refresh Model' is used often. It would help when the menu is opened after the refresh routine has finished.

Keep EXIF data (file properties) when uploading images with the Mobile GUIClosed

When images are uploaded to the database or file storage via the Mobile GUI, valueable meta data, like the image meta data and GPS coordinates, get lost. In various business scenarios EXIF data could be very usefull to organize binary data.  Hopefully this can be solved in a next version of the MobileGUI.

Change lookup control 'combo' to include sourceOn the backlog

Current situation The lookup control 'combo' behaves as a combination of autocomplete + dropdown menu. When you fill in a value that's not present in the source table, it automatically removes the input when you perform another action. However, if you made a mistake and this is the last field you fill in before saving, you'll save a record with an empty field. Because it happens instantly after you press save (from the user's perspective) it has a high chance of going unnoticed. Even more so when the list and form are on different tab pages. Now, the source (read-only) control makes sure you can only enter existing values. But this setting doesn't have a dropdown menu. Suggestion Perhaps it would make more sense to change the 'combo' control into a combination of source (read-only) + dropdown menu. This way users can select from existing values while manual input is controlled, making it behave more like a domain. And instead of automatically clearing the last field, it will notify the user that they're entering a non-existent value.

Create Ical item from data to send by emailClosed

We have a wish to send an ical (calender item) file to an extern email address. If we can create an ical file we can easily invite people to appointments without switching to outlook. The ical format is pretty standardized and the most used calenders can work with this.

Allow column sort by order in lookup tableCompleted

Current situation We have quite a few tables with sizes such as XS, S, M, L, XL etc. We now use a hidden sort column to sort these from smallest to largest size. When we want to apply this sort order in a new table we add the same hidden sort column by means of an expression so we can apply the same trick as in the lookup table. Issue This is somewhat cumbersome however and it also makes it impossible for users to do this manually since clicking on the header of the size column sorts these sizes alphabetically instead. Proposed solution I would like to see an option that when a user clicks on the column header the sizes are sorted according to the default sort option of the lookup table. This is quite similar to the default sort in a combo drop-down but instead applies to the column in a grid. I can imagine a drop-down in lookup options that allows to switch the grid sorting between "alphabetical" and "lookup table".

Multi row radio buttonsClosed

The idea is to have a column in a table with radio buttons that allow only one row within the entire column to be checked. For example for our webshop maintenance we have a table with employment types for which one is checked as the default for a certain customer. Tasks use this info to pre-fill the employment type in their forms. Having radio buttons instead of check marks would make it impossible to accidentally check more than 1 row. Of course the application needs to do this based on the rows in view and not entire table because in this example the table holds the employment types of all customers.

Hide unnecessary default Rename/Delete button and editable fieldMerged

There are a lot of unnecessary default Rename/Delete buttons and changeable fields in the application. Since there are tasks to do this on the screen, and the tasks actually work better. And in most cases the tasks is the only rename/delete that works.  Example: trying to rename a domain that is used by editing the record will give this error:  Cannot update this row due to related 'Columns'. Please update or delete these 'Columns' and try again. Instead you need to use the rename task. If there is a task to rename that actually works better, then hide the default rename field and delete buttons to avoid confusion. These editable fields and not usable delete buttons are all over the application: domains, tables, process flow, functionality etc.

Counting unique values in a cubeClosed

Suppose: I have only 1 customer, that’s all. This customer is new in january. The counting in the cube is like: Year       Quarter                month  #new         #customers 2015      1                           1             1                           1 2015      1                           2             0                           1 2015      1                           3             0                           1 Subtotal quarter                 1             1                           3 As said, I have only 1 customer. The total new customers is correct, but the total customers is NOT. This is only possible if I count the unique values. On the internet I found “countdistinct". More information I found on:  https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/S170268  Implemented: v2014 vol 1.3 : Download official update  Additional information: With v14.1, a new summary calculation mode has been added – Count Distinct.    Is it possbile that this will be implemented in de SF. It would be very helpfull.

Cycle through image combo by clickingClosed

Our application contains a grid with check marks that enables users to switch the fields of another grid between mandatory, optional and read-only per specific category in its data (where read-only also means hidden in the form). This makes it possible for let's say department managers to maintain data categories and add new ones. We accomplished this settings grid through the use of check marks that can have a null value effectively creating the three options we needed: null, 0 and 1 (representing optional, read-only/hidden and mandatory respectively). The end result is a rather sleek looking grid but of course we got a bit lucky here that we didn't need more than 3 options per field. To cover for more than 3 options for future projects we would like to see an adaptation of the image combo feature where users can cycle through all options one by one simply by clicking. That combined with some clever icon design would take away any limitation on the number of options that can be used in a clickable field. Of course if there are lots of options then drop-downs are probably more practical but for many kinds of such grids I believe a clickable image combo could be very pleasing both in use and appearance.

SQL parserClosed

While developing I have run into issues multiple times where my solution was "Thinkwise has to implement it's own SQL parser". One example: I'm renaming a column, now I have to look through all templates using the name of this column to make sure all of them are renamed.. Now if the SF would be able to read my code, it should be able to rename those references automatically without a hitch. Also things like validations could be implemented more easily, like the example given here: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas-18/code-template-validation-trigger-with-parameter-237 Another benefit would be that after editing my model I could validate my code based on the model instead of the (out-of-date) database.

Push notificationsMerged

We are a company who matches pupils to university students for tutoring. For us, the ablility to reach our students is vital. Currently in our legacy; if a pupil needs a tutor, our personnel chooses a selection of appriopriate tutors. Those tutors are informed via a push notification in our app. Via deeplinks they are redirected to their matchingproposal. Much to our surprise, TSF is missing this functionality. Please make it possible to create push notifications in the mobile GUI. I think this could really uplift TSF.

Moving a point on the map (map component).Closed

Can it be made possible to move a point on the map by dragging it so that the fields with GPS coordinates in the table are also adjusted? Drawing on the map is already possible, but moving a point would also make life a lot easier.
