Overview of related process flows in tables and tasksOpen

It's difficult to delete a table or task if it turns out to be part of a process flow. You do get a notification, but it's not easy to determine which process flow(s) it's in. We would like to see an overview of the relevant process flow(s) in addition to the warning.

Translation for role description or tooltipOpen

In the idea below it is suggested to have translations for role name and description available in the IAM. The idea has been implemented and released. However, in the SF only translation objects for the role name are available not the description. Instead the description is copied directly from the role description in the SF. Add translation objects for Roles | Thinkwise Community I would like to suggest that also the translation objects for the role description are made available. Anothher option would be to display the tooltip of the role as the description of the role. The translation object of the role has a tooltip. As the roles in the iam are shown as grid items the tooltips are not used. Our application has an extensive role structure. Also the application is used more and more internationally. Having a good description in combination with the role name would decrease our support efforts regarding roles as it enables a key user of the application to manage the most of it.

Add translation objects for RolesCompleted

IAM is available in a few languages, but users of IAM need to assign roles to user groups based on the name of the role and the description. With internationalisation in mind and not knowing what language the IAM user understands, we need to be able to provide the names and descriptions of the roles in each language that IAM is available in. Not just the language the application is made in.

Influence "call-to-action" (primary action) task status via context procedureDeclined

Goal:I would like to be able to change the primary action status of tasks via the context procedure.Use case:An ordering process with 3 statuses: new, ready to send, and sent.I want to apply the call-to-action color to the task that triggers the correct next status in the process.By default, I've configured the “new order” task as call-to-action.However, when there is an order that is ready to be sent, I'd like to make the “send” task the call-to-action instead. Meanwhile, the “new order” task should still remain available to users as a regular task.Workaround:Currently, we can only achieve this by making duplicates of the tasks (1 regular and 1 call-to-action per status) and by using the context procedure to hide all the ones we don’t need per status. For 2-3 statuses this is okay, but for a process with a lot of statuses this quickly becomes very cluttered, both in the tasks and the context procedure. Solution:In the context procedure, add a new type for tasks.E.g.: @[task_name]_type -- tasks. 0 = enabled, 1 = disabled, 2 = hidden, 3 = primary action. (or use nr. 1 to follow the logical order, in that case also make an enrichment to change all existing context procedures)

Allow selection of timezone for IAM scheduleOpen

Our application is running on a database which is in UTC (Azure SQL), this does come with a unique set of challenges as our business operates in CEST.IAM is giving one of these challenges with it's scheduler, there are a few schedules that should be ran every day at a specific time. This time however is in CEST and the scheduler it's time is in UTC, in practise this means we have to change the schedule twice per year. Please add the possibility to select the timezone for which the schedule is set in. This way IAM can handle the time changes due to summer/wintertime and the actual running time is always the same from a user perspective.

Abort system flowMerged

Sometimes you would like to abort a system flow. A reason for this could be that by mistake a never ending loop has been created. Or that a system flow is simple stuck, running and ran into an error but did not stop, preventing the next scheduled time to start the flow.Currently the only way to resolve both cases is by restarting indicium (application pool recycle or webserver restart). This is not really what you want. Because if this occurs in the production environment, this will result in every user getting logged out.Therefor it would be great to have an option to abort a system flow. This option should be available in IAM on the scheduled system flow screen. But also in the process flow monitor, allowing a user to abort a flow during a test or manual run.The expected behavior would be that the system flow will execute its current flow action and after doing so, will simply stop. And if it is not executing a flow action at all, stop as well.

Kill system flowOpen

I would like to be able to kill abandoned or long running system flows. Sometimes a flow gets abandoned but the signal is not picked up by indicium/universal and it looks like it is still running. It would be very helpful to be able to kill any systemflow from deployed applications that runs for over a certain amount of time. Ideally the amount of time could be configured by the developers, something like we expect this flow to last for 5 minutes and if longer than 30 we want to be able to kill it.

Excel import - date formatOpen

Hi, When using the standard excel import functionality, all dates in the excel file are shown in the same date time format. Even when the excel only contains a date, a time is added to it. This results in harder to read date fields.It would be nice if the date field in the import functionality would reflect the actual data in the excel.

Group process and system flowsOpen

The list of process and system flows is coming bigger and bigger. Often these flows (process or system) have some sort of a relation between each other. The only way to make this visible is by either including this in the description field or the name of the flow. Not ideal.It would be great to add a group to flows (process and system). It should be possible to combined both a process flow and a system flow in a group.This group should also be visible in IAM (scheduled system flows) and in the role assigning within the SF.

Option controlOpen

We've discovered that we can use the radio control in combination with the auto-commit option in wizard/questionnaire scenarios.To make it perfect, it would be great if there were an OPTION_BUTTON control in addition to the RADIO_BUTTON control.  To make it work like the image above, we also need a solution to make the Cancel and Confirm buttons invisible when auto-commit is used. Is there already a solution for this?

Search option for selecting systemflow to test in processflow monitorCompleted

Currently you can use the Processflow monitor to test system flows. This is a very useful feature. There is however one issue with the current screen. You cannot search/filter within the list of system flows. Often this list will become quite large.Please implement a search/filter for this dropdown list

Show original object for translations of variantsOpen

Can we please add the original object as a field to the translation form? Now it is hidden in the translation object lookup. I believe it would be better to show in the form that variantofbook is variant of object: book.

Set the columns to different visibilities in the variants of tasksClosed

Hello everyone,While we were writing code for a task layout it occurred to us that this could be done much simpler via a task variant. But to our surprise the task variant was not able to do this. Like in subjects, you can alter the visibility of columns per variant, but in task variants this is not possible. As a concrete example: I had a task where three values have to be invisible for a certain role. Now I have a preparation task that prepares a value, sends that to the task that needs to be executed, and the layout logic sets those, otherwise editable fields, to hidden or read only based on whether the value in the preparation task is true or false.It would be easier if I could just set those task fields to hidden in the variant directly, this would save a task and a bunch of code in a lot of instances.So in short, I would like the following option in the subject variants: Where I can give the columns a stricter visibility (and not from read only back to editable) per variant. I think it could be a good idea to implement this in the task variants as well, so that this option becomes available (per variant) here as well: This would be ideal in many situation that now require extra (sometimes unnecessary) code.

Create task for setting a branch to unprotectedOpen

Currently when you have a branch which is “protected” and want to set this “unprotected” (required for archiving a branch) you need to disable the checkbox “Protected” on form level in the Branches screen. But sometimes this checkbox is disabled. To help a user with disabling this checkbox it would be great to move the functionality of marking a branch to “unprotected” from the form into a task. This task will be shown when a branch is marked as protected and can always be executed. If the branch cannot be set to “unprotected” the reason why will be displayed in an error message thrown by this task.

Single Click - Table TaskMerged

In addition to the double-click option for table tasks, we would like to have a single-click option in some scenarios.In particular, to make it possible to open a detail tab from a card list on mobile devices. Perhaps there is a better way to do this, without the need of using a hidden task and process flow for each card list / detail view.

Copy icon from model x to model yOpen

Currently when working with multiple models it is quite inconvenient to share icons between these models. I understand that you would not like to store icons in a model which are not used and that this is why they are stored within a model instead of on global level.However often you do want to use a set, or all of these icons, within multiple models. Currently the only way to copy an icon from a mode into a different model, is by opening a second software factory. Selecting the model/branch from which you would like to copy this. Download the icon and then add a new icon in the model/branch you were working in. Select the downloaded icon and store it. Quite a few steps.It would be great if you could “import” icons from other models. That will allow you to select a set of icons used in model X and move them to model Y. Saving a lot of time. You should be able to select a set of icons. Having an import function to only import 1 icon, will not work.

Add an explanation button to reachable objectsOpen

Reachable objects is a helpfull tool, but half the time I have no clue what I am looking at. Can we get an explain button that explains what it is I am looking at? (a detail, a lookup, a menu item etc etc).Simple Example below, this apparently means that book genre is available as a detail for book and genre. How was I supposed to deduct that from this:

Layout Process Flow MonitorOpen

The new debug center looks great, but we would like to see some adjustments to the layout of the process flow monitor so that it can better assist us in resolving errors. Resolving issues in Process Flows is often very time-consuming. The process flow monitor we had in the Windows GUI wasn’t ideal either, but it still often allowed us to locate issues more effectively.We hope it is not to much effort to come to a layout more like this...Key focus points: Make the most efficient use of screen space wherever possible, assuming that nearly all developers have at least an HD display Indicators showing which actions were not successful  Duration of actions in milliseconds, highlight slow ones Type of action with symbol Display associated database event(s) per action as well

Add possibility to show a popup form when adding new recordOpen

We often get requests from our business to show a popup form when adding a new record instead of going to a form tab (or have an always shown form below a list). This is a behaviour that is present in many other systems. This is currently done by creating a tasks that shows the same fields as the form, a lot of duplicate, extra, work and lots of places for new bugs to be introduced (rights, defaults, layouts etc etc).Would be nice if we can just select the flow that happens when creating a new recordsCurrent behaviour (default) Show popup formMaybe even support this when doing edit etc.

Overflow menu configurable in the overflow menu?Merged

In Universal we all are struggling with space on screens. Instead of making task read only but still visible for the user i would like to opt for an option to also have influence on the overflow menu. I dont want the task standard in the screen. but i do want to make the user aware the task is there but just not executable. So when its executable in screen and useable When not executable in the overflow menu. (so the user can still see the task but is aware he cant use it right now.

Table classifications to steer your modelOpen

I propose introducing the ability to assign a classification to a table.At a basic level, this would help with simple tasks such as identifying, sorting, or filtering related tables within the platform.At a more advanced level, the classification could be used to drive specific behavior that reflects the nature of the table. Initially this behavior can be implemented by yourself through the dynamic model, while in a later phase the configuration could potentially be formalized in the SF.Examples of table classifications could be:Master: Contains base data such as VAT rates, product categories, currencies, countries, languages, ISO codes, and date conversions. Example behaviour: Make editable, with the awareness that adjustments may have significant impact. Configuration: Contains configurable items such as email settings and system parameters. Example behaviour: Make read-only once accessed from a lookup since adjustments often have unintended consequences. Core Entities: Contains strong entities such as customers, suppliers, and employees. Example behaviour: Apply a screen type which lets you easily see, manage and add these core entities. Operational: Contains process data such as appointments, orders, and invoices. Example behaviour: Provide transactional screens to create, edit, and process these records in line with operational workflows. Interface: Tables that act as a bridge between external systems and the application, such as API staging tables, integration views, or import/export buffers. Example behaviour: Do not require translations, exclude from UI-related validations to prevent unnecessary validation messages. Analysis: Contains analytical structures such as dashboards, reporting, and BI aggregates. Example behaviour: Make read-only for analytical purposes. Archive: Contains historical data such as past invoices and legacy records. Example behaviour: Make read-only for long-term storage. Logging: Contains system/user events such as audit trails, login attempts, and error logs. Example behaviour: Make read-only, automatically place in a ‘Logging’ menu group. Staging: Contains temporary storage such as import buffers and preprocessing tables. Example behaviour: Allow only temporary use with minimal validations, and ensure automatic cleanup or further processing.
