Copying Variant settings to DefaultOpen

Is there a way of changing a Default Subject settings to be the same as one of its Variants?Transitioning to Universal we have made a Variant for most of our Subjects to give the Subject an updated look in Universal and leave the Windows Default unchanged.When we will stop using Windows, I would like if I can “make a Variant a Default”. It would be pretty tedious to manually change everything.

Apply button for prefilter pop-upOpen

It is annoying that the filter pop-up is immediately closed when changing a prefilter that is part of an "OR" group.This problem mainly occurs on small devices, where filters must be set with a pop-up.I can imagine that it is difficult to come up with an intuitive solution for this. It might be an idea to add an 'Apply' button in those cases.

Assign theme in IAM to Application (instead of User Group or User)Open

Currently it’s only possible to add a theme to a “User” or a “User Group”.In our situation we have a theme for an application and platform.As we also have a lot of user groups it's quite a lot of work assigning the same theme to all user groups on all platforms (for our full DTAP we also have 4 IAM’s)So please make it possible to assign a theme on application level also add the possibility to differentiate on platform and set a default menu.Functionality can be placed as a detail tab under “General settings” at the application in IAM

Option to have responsive field height in SFOpen

Based on the question I posted yesterday, I asked if its possible to have an optionfor a field to be responsive in height for Universal GUI. This can be used for fields that are meant for paragraphs of strings, like HTML and multilines since we only have in my knowledge to set fix height in SF->Subjects.Responsive field height for example will try to extend its height based on the remainingspace if there are available below it. This is very useful for applications that can be used for mobile view and web view Question:https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/is-it-possible-to-have-responsive-field-height-in-universal-gui-2785

Simplify use of Refresh Model task during developmentCompleted

During development, the "Refresh Model" task may be called hundreds of times per day.It might be an idea to move the task to the header bar or assign a Shortkey to the task.And at the same time ignore all warnings, because they do not matter during development. This will definitely save a lot of time during development.

Ability to define Reports with report type: None (dummy report)Completed

Just like with tasks, I would like to create and use dummy reports. The reason for this is so the icons in the application are better ordered. Tasks are with other tasks and reports with other reports.Left Tasks - Right ReportsThe reason we need a dummy report is to start a process flow. The process flow then activates a task that will insert a row in a sort of Queue table. This queue table will limit the selection of rows that DevExpress will use to make it's report; thus making the process a lot faster.So this task need to be run before opening the report. But the task cannot be the starting point for the process flow and therefor we need to use a dummy report.

Input constraint feedback in gridOpen

In edit mode you can add input constraints with regex that gives user feedback in the form. However, in the grid it only surrounds the field itself with a red line. It does not give any feedback to the user. It would be nice if the user knows what is wrong with the input value when editing in the grid.This field in the grid has an input constraint and only gets a red line

Optimize the smoke test screenOpen

In the smoke test screen you are quite limited on functions. I would love to see 2 things added here.A Task to hide a Test, or approve. Just like in the validation screen. Take for example a View that command timed out. You know the reason but it still pops up in your list and give alot of cluther arround the test steps that matter.   Another great task which is introduced in a lot of screens is the Go to functionality button or Go to prefilter button. Currently when something is wrong with a prefilter in the test step, you are not able to edited it in the form. You need to open it separately in subjects. Or when something is wrong with a view I would to go to the view code directly.

SF Model support to hide Refresh Action buttonCompleted

We are trying to make a complicated Calculation screen work properly and smoothly in the Universal GUI. One of the challenges is to have users click the right buttons, and the easiest way to support that is hiding buttons they shouldn't click. In below example we have 3 Refresh buttons, and we wish to hide 2 of them. A refresh on the higher level will also trigger the refresh of the detail tabs and using the Change Detection logic users don't have to trigger refreshes themselves. In the Software Factory we can specify this for every Action button, except for the Refresh button. Can this functionality please be added?This seems to me like a straightforward and logical addition to the Subjects > Performance tab (Buttons configurable in layout)Now we have to revert to a bit of custom CSS to hide this specific button.

Detect and notify the user when their browser blocks pop-upsOpen

When using reports in Universal with the report action "Print preview" the browser sometimes blocks the print preview pop-up. Chrome by default blocks pop-ups and redirects. It would be nice if there is a way to setup Universal to detect and notify the user when they have pop-ups blocked in their browser.

Create view definition based on queryOpen

With regards to one of the tedious tasks in the SF is creating the definition of a view, for which the query has already been written. Especially when querying and creating a report this is often the case.If we can somehow eliminate this labor and directly convert our query to this definition in the data model tab, it would save a lot of time.

Previewing improvementsMerged

Currently Universal seems to preview only the first preview-able column in a table (the PDF in the screenshot below) and just shows this column twice. There is a second column (right under this pdf column) that holds an URL that should be previewed as well.Current behaviour of the preview component in UniversalSee question:It would be great if Universal would know that it already previewed a preview-able column and then show the next preview-able column in a table. It might even be better to get more control over what is shown (for example via screentype-properties).

Use subject to determine preview documentOn the backlog

The preview of a document (or url) is determined by the first eligable column in a table. When there are multiple columns in a table that could provide a preview, it is not possible to specify which of those columns to use. A possible work-a-round is to create multiple views were for each view the relevant column is the first one. This however is not an optimal solution because the end-user would have to switch tabs to navigate to the specific view with only a subset of the data.In our situation we work with different renditions of the same document which can have different storage locations and with that different column types. Although every rendition is a separat record, the different storage types are available in the same record and only the first will be used for the preview. The list of documents can contain documents from different storage locations where only the first technical column shows the preview.My proposal is to, in stead of the technical location, use the definition of a subject (or derived variant) as the base to determine which column to use for the preview. This could then be the first visibile column where a variant or layout procedure would determine the visibility of the column to view. This could mean that when there are two eligable columns in a subject, if the first is made hidden, the second column would be used for the preview.

Adaptive field names in a formlistCompleted

Hi,Currently I am setting up a dynamic form using the formlist screen type.So far I have been able to recreate the formlist similar as shown in the documentation. Displaying two columns, one as a label (using the domain control type label) and the other column containing a value. However, I would like to display the formlist similar as how a regular form is displayed. Meaning with a field name that is inside the field, instead of a label that hovers above the field.Is there anyway in which this is possible? My eventual goal is to use this formlist together with a regular form (one being a detail reference) on the same screen. So it would be most ideal if the layout of these forms can match.

Add prefilters and tasks to the default screen type.Completed

When creating a new subject the default screen type assigned (master detail) does not contain the most frequent used components, namely tasks and prefilters. More often then not this results in having to choose a different screen type. If you have no prefilters/tasks the component is not shown so there is no harm done in adding these components. My suggested fix: add a new default screen type master detail with preftilters and tasks. Have this as default for any new subject instead. This will keep current screens using master detail in tact but will improve the user friendliness.

Hide filterform screen component when no filter columns are availableOpen

Automatically hiding the filterform component when no filter columns are available would make it a lot easier to reuse screentypes.When columns are set to show as ‘Always’, they will appear in the Filter Form component: However, when no column is set to ‘always’, the Filterform component is still shown:

Adding Offline Functionality to the Universal GUIWorking on it!

In today’s world, staying connected is crucial, but there are still moments when users find themselves without internet access—whether during travel, in remote areas, or in places with unreliable networks. So I propose adding offline functionality to the Universal GUI.Features:Essential Offline Access: Users can access and edit data while offline, with changes automatically syncing once they’re back online. Lightweight Mode: The offline version could focus on key functionalities to ensure speed and security.Offline capabilities in the Universal GUI would greatly enhance the flexibility and robustness of the Thinkwise platform, allowing users to maintain productivity anytime, anywhere.

"Zip & Download" multiple uploaded files at once.Open

Currently it is only possible to download one uploaded file at a time in the GUI's. A user asked to create a "Button" to download selected documents (one or more lines with one or more fields with a FILE_UPLOAD control). I've been thinking how to do such a thing. My biggest problem is that a function that I could write has no access to the location where the actual uploaded documents reside. But how cool would it be if the GUI "detects" file_upload control fields in a list (or form) and shows something like below to download all documents at once as a ZIP file?

Frequently Used Menu / Favorites MenuMerged

I’ve been using the SF for a few weeks and when you have a big application with many menu items, I noticed that the quick way to open a menu is to search using filter. It would be nice if there is a ‘Frequent Used Menu’ or 'Favorites’ on the menu list.   notes: Frequent Used Menu will record and show the most opened menu on the list Favorites menu: the user should be able to add the favorites menu through the settings

Determine filter condition in "Change filters" process actionWorking on it!

When using “Change Filter” in a process flow it always reverts to “Equals”, it would be more useful if the filter condition could be changed, to  “Contains” for instance.Also, the Docs article on the subject contradicts itself on this matter:Filter values on columns of a specific subject can be set with this process action. It can be indicated for each column which filter condition and which filter value must be used.However: The filter value that must be set on the column in question as an equal to filter condition. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Task to create and assign a template for tasks, views, ctx, lay, defWorking on it!

When creating a context, default, layout or a template for a view you have to do the same steps. create a control procedure generate the code group search the task/view/subject in assigning assign the template8 out of 10 times this can be automated if you add only 1 template and use the standard naming standards for templates and control procedures. I would suggest adding several tasks:on tasks: a task to create the template and assign it to the task on subjects: a task to create the ctx/def/layout (checkboxes which you want to create) and assign it to the subject on data model (view): a task to create the template and assign it to the view when the view is template based. All would follow standard naming protocols.Also the tasks should check if there is already a template. Optional: use a process flow to open the just created template so you can start coding.

IAM: Add user group description to user groups screenDeclined

The description field is a very important field when working with user groups, but for some reason it’s hidden in the lookup: Please add it to the main user group screen, there is plenty of blank space left.

Push notification historyOpen

In IAM a log of the (in-app & push) notifications is available.It would be great if these notifications not only are available from IAM but from the Thinkwise applications too for the end user (in the user preference menu for example). Together with the functionality to make notifications read/unread.As a workaround we now add a table in our Thinkwise application for the logging of the (push) notifications.

Make copy columns also use +10 increment for component orderOpen

When one uses the “Copy columns” in the Data model it will add the column with a +10 increment. When looking at the components like Grid or Form, etc it will add it with an increment of +1.Manually adding a column will have the +10 increment for the components.Please also use the +10 when using the copy method so it behaves the same and has a little room to move a column in without needing to renumber or manually edit the order value.Current behaviour example: ColumnGrid
