Ability to set Extender settings dynamicallyCompleted

Currently some Extenders can be modelled in the SF (e.g. Maps and Resource scheduler). The resource_scheduler used to be a piece of custom code (DLL) in our case, but now we can use Extender modelling in the SF (after some serious help from Thinkwise). Thing is, the custom code provided us with a Month or Year schedule, doing so by setting (amoungst others) the "Minimum date" and "Maximum date" in the Extender. The latter is, as far as we know, not possible when using the Extender modelling. It is either hardcoded (so of no use) in the SF or leave it blank. It would be helpfull if in a project some settings to an Extenders properties could be done dynamically. And as soon as this becomes available a good piece of explanation or better examples would be great as well.

Add functionality to task copying task parameter.Completed

When copying a taskparameter in a project (SF) also copy the lookup information defined for that particular parameter. I'm now adding a new parameter to ten or more task and have to add all lookup settings to the new parameterfield to each new parameter for each individual task. The amount of time I could spend doing other things is significant.

Disable 'Mass update' button in GUI when there are no rows present in the subjectCompleted

One of the members from the project I work on noticed that the 'Update' button stays available even after the subject doesn't contain any rows. This doesn't break or harm anything; it's just that the button is available to push even though it won't do anything. The wish is: If there are no rows present in the subject, disable the 'Update' button automatically.

Generating new sequencenumbers when copying columsClosed

When columns are copied (using the appropriate task) the SF keeps the original sequence numbers. Instead of that I'd like to see The new columns copied to the end of the target table Even better: insert the copied columns after a certain sequencenumber (that can be entered in the task), but keeping the lot together (by resequencing the table after each copied row). Now, for instance, when copying lets say a set of adress information columns from one table to another, the are spread out through the target table; placing them back together is a nuisance.

Ability to create conceptual data modelsOpen

Currently I'm working on a project for which I need to make a generic import module/environment. This is very complex and costs a lot of time to make, and it is highly possible that tables and columns need to be changed during the creation of it. I have to resort to paper or a whiteboard, since I don't have a tool to make a quick and simple data model. Because I use paper and or a whiteboard, after designing a conceptual data model on it, I have to then make a picture of it with my phone to share the idea with my colleagues. Then if someone says something should change, I have to recreate it again, this time with the changes. Making a data model in the Software Factory is quite quick if you know how it should look, but if I have to recreate it, change it and/or add tables, add references between tables, add domains and so on, it can be quite time-consuming. Also the possibility of unused domains will increase; read more work to delete everything related to a deleted column. So what my idea is, is to make a conceptual data model. Just a plain simple view of a model with boxes as tables, text lines in the boxes as columns and reference lines between the boxes to show references. This could then be used in Design specifications to show (visibly) how tables are in relation to each other. Also a picture tells more (in a shorter amount of time) about what the model will look like. Let me know how you think about it! 😁

Create dashboard with large tiles and show, data, graphs and Gauges on themOpen

In terms of user interface it would be great if a user could start (or pull-up) a dashboard with a bunch of tiles on them. These tiles can be formatted as: Data, graphs or Gauges. With such a dashboard you can show the user the higlights to work on. By clicking on a tile you can see the underlying data or you can pull-up as more detailed dashbaord

Change marker icons into customer logo? (Google Maps)Open

I am currently working on a project for which we use Google Maps to generate an overview with the company's customers. To create a well-organized map It seems like a good idea to replace the marker icons for the companies logos!

Customizable menu in software factoryMerged

With my almost daily use of the software factory I came to notice that I am often scrolling through the side menu looking for the department that I need. On itself the menu has a logical structure but in practice I would rather have a simple list of all the available options and in a customizable order. My list would probably look something like this: Project overview Full model Data model Subjects Tasks Process flows Functionality Etc... All items would be in on screen at all times, easily clickable and without the need to scroll. I hope you are willing to consider such a menu.

Add an option for Indicium to return null values in its responseMerged

Optional fields do not show on Indiciums output when they are empty. Is it possible to setup a setting in the Indicium conifiguration that all empty values will be displayed in the JSON response?

Possibility to link a task to a table multiple timesMerged

Right now it is not possible to link a task to a table multiple times. I have a task which has to be added to a table multiple times filling the task parameters differently. It is possible to make 'Task variants' which is a great start, but it is not possible to link different task variants to the same table. This because the current primary key of tab_task is not allowing that. (and who knows about the GUI too...) Right now i have 9 tasks with almost the same name, using the same control procedure templates, and linked to the same table. The only difference is the parameters are getting filled differently.

Increase varchar length column: db_value Table: elemntDeclined

I'm running into the restriction of exceeding max length on the column db_value on table elemnt. We're running some dynamic code where we put the table name in the elemnt_id and db_value column, but the db_value is restricted to 25 characters. Is there a reason for limiting this to 25 characters? if not, please increase it.

Link to documentation of the Software FactoryCompleted

Currently there's no link to the documentation of the Software Factory (SF) from inside the SF. Sometimes I want to look something up in the documentation and have to open my internet browser and navigate to it. Since I don't have it as shortcut link or bookmark, it can take sometime to find it. (For me) it would be handy if I could open the documentation from inside the Software Factory. For example from the 'Developer' tab. There is then a button I can press that will bring me to the documentation of the subject I'm working on. For example: Then the button brings me to: https://office.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/docs/sf/functionality.html

Vertical Grid namesOpen

For a custom demo we needed to show many checkmarks in a grid. Normaly this is not a problem but many of those checkmarks had very long names. This created an issue because we didn't want our user to have a horizontal scrollbar for this information. To work around this we tried to create Grid names which were vertical, just like in their old application: To replicate this in the Thinkwise application we used many breaks in the grid translation of the column: I think it would be nice to make this an official feature, to show grid names vertically.

Themes - From 'Table'Completed

With the new 2019.1 release of the Software Factory, the Theme settings for tabs in the form has been renamed to 'Table' even though we still use 'Tabs' under the General settings. Shouldn't we use an uniform verb for this?

Read and write pre-filter settingsClosed

We would like to add a possibility to be able to read the pre-filter setting (on/off) for the prefilters from the templates and would like to be able to set the prefilters on and of from the templates. With this possibility you're able to write a filter setting in a record with a task and you can directly turn the filter on or off depening on the task you run.

Task to renumber column numbersClosed

There are already task under "Subject" to renumber the columns in the Grid, on the Form or in a Card list. But as far as I know there is no such task to renumber the columns in a table. When, for example, importing a table from another table leaving out some of the original tables, gaps in the column numbering are introduced. Also when adding columns and one wants to place them between a few other columns to keep things in a logical order, this is possible, but after various alterations you'll run out of free numbers to instert. So why not add a taks to resequence colums as well? To keep things neat, after all.

Fill the create cube task when executed from a subject.Completed

When in subjects, it's possible to create a cube. In the task that pops-up I need to select the table or view where I'd like to create a cube upon. Since I'm already in the table/view, I'd like it to be filled automatically in the task. Also, the task says 'Table', but a view is also possible. Perhaps 'Subject' would be a better translation.

Detail Tiles - Setup orietationOpen

When using detail tiles in your screentype, you are not able to setup the orientation. The default orientation is Vertical but sometime you want it to scroll Horizontal. For example when showing the tiles under you form, where you have more horizontal space then vertical space.

Opening menu/tile items by a shortkeyOpen

In a discussion at the customer it came up that their current software supports opening menu items by selecting a function key (like F2 opens the Search engine). Looking at the Software Factory, I don't see an option to do so. There is an option to assign shortkeys to Tasks but it's not possible to assign them to Menu items. Could this idea be implemented?

Filter on dateTime fields using "between" when no time is entered.Completed

When a field is defined as datetime, the GUI expects a time when a user wants to filter on a date. This is logical from an applation point of view, but not from a users point of view. I.m.h.o. when a user filters on a datetime field, the GUI should use a "BETWEEN" sql statement and not an "=' (equal) statement. Lets take the example below. A users selects "Filter" and enters just a date (and leaves the time part of the datetime field empty). I would like the GUI to select the 3 rows with the date the user is looking for. If for one reason a user want to look for a row equal to the thousands of a second, than just enter the time as well.. In a similar manner the filter "Between" could work. If a users enters a from date of 01-01-2019 and a to date of 01-02-2019, leaving both time parts of the field empty, the GUI should filter for rows containing a datetime of "2019-01-01 00:00:00.000000" and "2019-01-02 23:59:59.999999" (depending on the precision of timestamps in the database used by the application).

Add order number to 'Available templates' in TSFCompleted

The subform 'Available templates' ordered by order number and the column order_no made visible would be helpful.

Version control with requirementsCompleted

It would be nice to fill in different priorities for the requirements in the SF. Currently you can select this release, next release or future release. But it does not give you the opportunity to select which release you would like the requirement to be added to the application. This makes it possible to do release planning using the requirements for projectmanagement and could be very usefull creating sprints.

Form alignmentOpen

Form fields always align to the left and there is no option in SF to change this behavior. Alignment in a domain doesn't affect form fields. In some cases we would like to align form fields to the right, specifically in forms where we only display decimal numbers. It would simply look a lot better if the decimals are stacked right on top of eachother. Example: code: 123,00 1.234,00 12.345,00123.456,00 123,00 Current situation: code:123,001.234,0012.345,00123.456,00123,00 As you can see the addition of a thousands separator can potentially confuse the end-user even more. Therefor I would like to suggest an alignment option for forms, possibly with an "apply grid alignment" option in subjects > settings > form.

Improved use of variantsOn the backlog

Currently when setting up a table, a variant is used to define an exception as display method of a specific table. The main set up is used by default and only when you would like to use a different display method, you set up a variant. This approach often leads to issues with the use of prefilters. For example a specific prefilter is set to disabled and hidden on the default display method. However this prefilter should be enabled and visible on the variant. This is not possible. The same issue surfaces with hiding columns on the default display, but enabling them on the variant. The solution is a default variant. This variant is created upon creation of a table. This is also the default display method of the table. It is not possible to display a table without a variant. By using this approved the issues, which I've described in the previous paragraph, will no longer be an issue. To reduce the workload whilst setting up these variants, the main settings (which're currently being used at the default display method) should still be accessible and be used as the default values for each variant.

IAM Action analysis: Add timesOpen

At the moment we can see the number of actions performed in the IAM action analysis, but not times. It would be useful to also be able to see (average) lead times per action here in order to be able to compare these with guidelines regarding response times.
