SF: offer to 'just do it', if it has to be done anywayOpen

Some of the functionality of the SF needs other data to be present or steps to be taken beforehand. Smart upgrade requires the previous version to be available, for example. It hardly ever is. It is not super convenient to set the hidden previous version to an active state in another document, and walk through all the necessary steps in order to return to the smart upgrade and finally run the smart upgrade. In cases where it applies, it is quite clear what has to happen. I made a mock popup: Thanks for asking! Such an improvement would have my vote!

Add product name to overview of running tasksOpen

The name and version of the product is missing in the popup screen. Would it be possible to add this?

Extra option 'Copy with Headers' in datagridsOpen

To quick an simply grab some data from a grid, this will be a welcome addition. Like in SSMS the option 'Copy with Headers’An extra option in menu is not required, just enable the function and mention in the Tooltip this advanced copy function Ctrl_Shift+CCopy native column names, or have the option to do so.

Close session when user closes the browserOpen

When the user closes the browser instead of using the Logout option from the menu the user session is not ended. When using the 'Max. # sessions per account' feature with single session this means the user can not login until the ‘Claim timeout (min)’ is elapsed.Please close the session when the user closes the browser (tab) and allow the user to login directly afterwards

Support Object tagging on AWS S3 file storageOpen

It would be a great addition if the AWS S3 File storage solution includes Object tagging support. This would allow us to tag files with useful tags for searching and categorizing. In addition it could be used for AWS IAM policy keys.Example Use cases: document type (Invoice/Contract/...), document status (Draft/Final/Signed) or table name and record_id to which attachment is linked (account/contract_id).

Disable Zoom and Change Screen TypeOpen

In some cases, as a developer, you would wish you had the ability to disable zooming on details and/or changing a screen type of a table. This to avoid any unwanted behaviour of more complex subject definitions, at runtime.It would be nice if that could be set per screen and/or tableAnd also have the possibilly to define valid screentypes per table or table variant

Store the Web GUI favicon in the IAM databaseClosed

Since Software Factory 2020.2 almost all icons are stored in the database.Unfortunately, the favicon is not stored in the IAM database.It would be really nice to have all images stored in one place. This simplifies the deployment of a new web GUI too.Please add the favicon to the IAM database

Show source for generated objectsCompleted

Sometimes you want to makes changes to generated objects, for example the code of a generated control procedure or validation. You can't see from which source these objects are generated. This can be from the dynamic model in the project version you are working in, or from a linked base project. How ideal would it be if you could see in one instance from what source a generated object like this originates. This way you can directly make your adjustments in the Software Factory, without having to query on the database in which projects the generated field for this object is empty.

Overview of requirements containing an open 'discussion'Completed

When you are working on the requirements, there is a tab to put in discussion points regarding this requirement. It is however very hard to find out what requirements still have an open discussion item on them. Can we have an overview list of the requirements that contain a discussion, so it is easier to find and respond to these items?

Possibility to add relationship between work itemsCompleted

At the moment it is not possible to link work items by a relationship. These relationships would make planning iterations easier and would add to maintaining overview of work items. Possible relationships could be: blocks * clones duplicates split caused by relates to * solves Relationships with an * would have the highest priority for us.

Enable screen for task/report parametersCompleted

Currently there is no tab available which allows you to see all task and report parameters in a single grid. Sometimes you have to change name which is being used throughout your entire model. This means the change will also have to be implemented in all the tasks and reports. In that case you would to filter on all task and report parameters of this name. This is currently not possible and if made possible, will be of great help.Is it possible to enable the detail tabs task parameters and report parameters within the full model screen?

Possibility to add estimation to work itemsCompleted

Like us, most companies will use estimations when working on work items. For instance, when refining during a Scrum meeting. Estimations are an integral part of Scrum and form the basis for keeping control of the project. Currently it is not possible to effectively add estimations to work items. We mostly work with hours as estimation based on the Fibonacci sequence, but other systems are used in other companies (t-shirt sizes etc.).

Rich text editing in work item descriptionCompleted

We'd like to have rich text editing capabilities on the Description field of Work items. Right now we feel we have insufficient possibilities to style work items in a way that make them more readable for other users (and for the author). I know the field can be enlarged using the magnifying glass icon, but that only makes the field larger.

Support SQL functions in default constraintsCompleted

We would like to be able to add a default constraint to trace columns using the SQL functions SUSER_NAME() and GETDATE(). It should look something like this:

Visual warning that a new Task look-up will create a new task parameterCompleted

When you create a new reference on data model the column will become green giving you an indicator that a new column will be created, besides the tick box. I would also like this indicator when creating a new task look-up in tasks. So my wish is to colour the task parameter green if it will be created. This way it will work the same as in data model and make the UI more intuitive.

Rename Performance tab to Parameters at Subjects ColumnsOpen

For each column in a subject you can indicate whether or not it should appear as parameter in various control proceduresAs this has nothing to do with performance but only with including/excluding parameters in program objects I propose this tab name is changed. Instead of Performance it seems that Parameters or “Set parameters” is more appropriate. .

Option "Paste" is missing in detail menuOpen

One of our customers has switched from the Windows GUI to the web GUI. One of the differences that the customer came across is that de “Paste” option is missing in a detail menu (right mouse click on a memo field).Windows GUI 2019.2.17: Web GUI 2020.1.14: Of course I told the customer that he could use [Ctrl]+[V], but he just misses this option.Is it possible to add the option “Paste” toe this detail menu somewhere?

Process action authorizationClosed

A client has a specific wish to be able to authorize process actions within a Process flow. The case is that there are two different roles, namely Opportunity and Assignment. Each of these roles have access to a task that changes the Status of an Opportunity.The difference between the roles is that:User1 with Opportunity role → can change the status and create an opportunity after User2 with Assignment role → can change the status and create an assignment afterThe process flow starts when activating this task and to determine what the next action is, we would like to apply authorization. User1 should only be able to create an opportunity after executing and not an assigment and User2 vise versa.Alternatively someone would say, why not make two tasks? The problem is there are also users with both roles and they would see the same task twice so that option doesn't work sadly. The task in combination with the process flow needs to be able to alter it's course on the basis of the users’ role(s).

Default import to Translations and retain to next sessionMerged

By default the import options are set to “Column names are IDs” and “Data contains IDs”. When changing it in the active session to “translations”, it is retained to the next import. But after logging out it's restored to IDs again. When you often import based on Translations, it's very likely to make this mistake of changing these values (over and over again). Our end users have difficulties understanding the purpose of IDs, and I agree on that: It's something you cannot see by default as a ‘normal’ user. I would like to have: Translations are set as default selected for both header and data (or configurable) The choice for IDs or Translations is retained to the next login / session, in stead of whiping it. Edit: Cannot change the subject title, should be “and retain to next session”.

Ability to hide fields from Import/Export functionalityMerged

This wish comes from an ISV;In the end product we have a lot of nice looking lists and forms where we make use of icons and sometimes even empty column translations. These columns we don't want to Export. Also we don't want to see these columns coming back when the user is Importing. Sadly there is no way in the Software Factory to effectively hide columns from the Import/Export panels. Export - The empty names should not be exported.

Column based authorizationClosed

My idea is to create the possibility to authorize a role colum based from the Software Factory and I'll explain why. For example there is al role to add and manage the employee data including sensitive data such as citizen service number (BSN). We also cretaed a role EMPLOYEE_read assigned to all employees as face book function in the system. In the GUI columns like BSN and partner data is hidden but a role will always have "No rights" or "Full read rights" on a table. The disadvantage is that users could read the table in its entirety from the SSMS. Role "EMPLOYEE_read" shouldn't reach sensitive data from the SSMS Database role is created with select permissions The SF knows the column rights of a role (same as the GUI) so when the GRANT select on table will be expanded with the columns the database rights are always the same as the GUI rights. Desired situation where a user with the role "EMPLOYEE_read" cann't read the columns BSN and Salary.

Smart Hotfix generationOpen

Something that is still a struggle to do in the SF are hotfixes (especially SF model based hotfixes). Currently it means either selecting the procedures manually if it is a code hotfix. When making a model change (adding a prefilter for example) If there is already a new trunk version you have to do the change in both the production and development version, with all possible risks. It would be helpful if there was a easier/safer way to do this in the SF. First I would like a screen to create a hotfix version. Which would still be the same trunk version but just a subset within the project trunk version.Then I would like to be able to add a tag to an object or select an object from a list (procedure/filter on a table/trigger/ctx procedure/expression column etc..). Finally at the synchronize to iam I would like a new option: deploy hotfix. This would only deploy the changes from the hotfix to the model. And at creation - generation source code I would like the option to have generation method: hotfix. This generation method only applies object marked as hotfix, and associated needed object. For example if you change a domain on a task and mark this for the hotfix then the default needs to be created as well, even though it's not marked.

Checkbox enable report when no contextMerged

For tasks there is a checkbox allowing you the auto disable a task when the context is empty. I was planning on using this for a report. Unfortunately I was shocked to find out that this checkbox has not been implemented for reports. I would really like this checkbox to be available on reports

User preference for "open_documents" menuMerged

Universal 1.3 - “Open_documents” is growing and growing and after x hours my main menu is not visible without scrolling ;-) It would be nice to have a user preference to maximize number of menu options to show like a “Top 5” Additional options like “Most used”, “Latest”, “My custom” or “Pin” and even an option “Don’t show” makes it complete.

Resource Scheduler zoom in on day when clickOpen

Hi,I would like to add some idea's to resource scheduler. Especially during this covid crisis the calendar plays a huge part in most of the organisations, it will be awesome to replace google agenda with a Thinkwise platform agenda. Default view month,week, day when the user clicks on a day. Zoom in on day and show on this day hours. A filter/ combobox to filter on year, months, week or day. So when the user clicks on year whole year is showing in months, when the user clicks on months all days of the month are showing.
