Apply conditional layouts to ChartsCompleted

For a businesscase we have to set the color of a chart column to a specific color, based on the total amount. For example, when the column value <= 20 it needs to be shown in red.I recently created a ticket for this on howto activate conditional formatting on charts, but it isn’t possible at the moment. I think this will be very usefull for other customers to.

Add run now button to system flows in IAMCompleted

Trouble shooting System flows is very time consuming. To make the process a bit more user friendly a "Run system flow now" button in IAM would be very helpful, so you don't have to wait for the system flow to start.

Filter on detail tabsCompleted

It would be nice if you could filter on specific values from (combination of) the current tab and detail tabs. For example: which employees have more than 10 vacation days and work in the Customer Solutions department.

Bring the Filter Expression to the Universal GUICompleted

Idea as follow up from the question:An advanced feature that was available in the older GUI’s, that could help filter situation that “Filter Form”, “Combined filter” or “Grid Column Filter” could not achieve. Pressing the little arrow down made it availablePossible to filter several conditions like a Boolean function Able to also input it as a text (which you could use to recreate the filter as it never got a feature to save these).

Merge indexesOpen

The Software Factory has a validation which informs you of indexes that are equal to one another and should be merged into a single index.Personally, I think having this validation is nice, but if you can inform me about this issue, why not resolve it for me. It would be great to have a way to automatically merge these indexes.I need a way to merge index together to help me save a chunk of time. Perhaps create an enrichment for this?

Drag & Drop handle on right side (Universal)Open

When drag & drop is enabled on the Universal GUI, a handle icon is added on the left side of the grid for every row.Please make it possible for a developer to determine on which side of the grid this handle is displayed. When the dropping is done on a detail on the right side, it is more convenient for the user only having to drag the row over a small part of the screen.Of course when the handle is displayed on the right side, it should still be a locked column so it doesn’t disappear when not scrolled to the right.

UGUI: Open menu item/open document in new browser window/tabOpen

As a user of a Thinkwise application I want to be able to open a menu item or an open documents item in a new browser tab or window so that I can use the application on multiple monitors and compare objects in the application side by side.It is already possible to open a new browser tab, open the application and open a menu item. But I want it to be more convenient by using my open application as a starting point. For example by pressing the right mouse button on the menu item or open document and using the context menu as a normal website:

Define a SQL expression for a column aggregationOpen

My view has a column that contains the space used on a single pallet, which ideally should total 1 (1 full pallet). The idea is to use the aggregation of a column to show both the sum, and the “remaining” space.For example: if a pallet is half full, it would show 50/50, if it is 90% full, it shows 90/10.I think it is possible using an SQL expression for the aggregation type, but I don’t know where to define the logic after selecting it in the subject components grid settings: SQL expression setting​​​​​​I imagine it could look something like this (for my usecase):SELECT  CONCAT( ROUND(SUM(value), 2), '/', ROUND(1 - SUM(value), 2) ) AS custom_aggregation FROM t1; Update by moderator: converted question into an idea.

Column separators in gridsOpen

In replicating the legacy system as closely as possible I needed to create a visual separator between column groups:Example column separatorsUsing some custom CSS I was able to add them, but it uses a hard link on the column names, so if those ever change, the CSS will also have to be updated:[data-tab-id="sales_order_overview"] [col-id="count_pallets_purchase_order"],[data-tab-id="sales_order_overview"] [col-id="count_boxes"],[data-tab-id="sales_order_overview"] [col-id="count_pallets_to_pick_from"],[data-tab-id="sales_order_overview"] .ag-header-group-cell-with-group { border-left: 6px solid lightgray !important;}When I found out about column groups I figured this would already be an option, but it doesn’t seem to be there (yet). To standardize it, it could become a checkbox somewhere in the subject grid settings.

Improve Model Insight to same level or better as Windows GUI's "Path Location"On the backlog

During development I regularly use the Windows GUI to find relevant information regarding screens, columns, parameters, etc. with the Alt + F1 combination (Path Location). Even though the Universal GUI has “Model Insight”, it is lacking many things the other option is giving.I think it is not the intent of ThinkWise to keep the need for using a different GUI to make your Universal GUI product complete. This idea is to make the “Model Insight” improve its usability and hopefully remove the need for a fall back GUI.Current issues or features missing that I am aware of:References more than 1 level deep, do still show the level 1 reference; References more than 1 level deep, do not show table / variant information; Unable to get info when a grid has no records to click on; No context information (Detail, Master, etc.); No Tab Control (What Detail group is being used); No Domain information; No Task name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; No Report name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; Lookup popups give no information, it still show the column/parameter of what it is a lookup on; No Translations.

Ability to show Messages in-line of specific ColumnsOpen

Hi!I am not sure if there's already an idea for it, I didn't saw one.My proposal will be to be able to highlight (as it is for mandatory fields when they are empty) the fields in a table/task that based on some checks resulted that their inputs are not good.So for example if someone will add a quantity bigger that a certain value that is checked in back (default / execution of task / save changes) beside the message that user will get and the changes of data on field level, to have also a highlight that will indicate exactly from where the warning comes from.Of course this can be improved to not show only errors, but maybe warnings and on hover to show the tooltip or the message that was prompted.What do you think about this?

Tree-grid (combined)Open

I would like to propose a new screen type: Tree-grid. This should be a combination of the current treeview and a regular grid, having the advantage to use a treeview with multiple columns. The first column should obviously be the treeview.Example from Devexpress (TreeList View | WPF Controls | DevExpress Documentation):

New process flow connector import actionOpen

Create a new process flow action to import files into a specific table, performing the same action as the manual import functionality on the Subjects screen. This should be available as selectable actions in the system flow connector, just like "add record" or "update record".For now, we require this functionality for one case.

Trigger input constraint (Domain) before finalizing actionOpen

The input constraint option on de domains are a nifty feature to check the user input for valid data. When wrong values are entered a warning is shown and finalizing actions like “Save” and “Execute” are blocked.Sometimes defaults are being used to help the user to reduce manual input, so even fields with an input constraint could be filled by this.Here comes the unfortunate part…. the input constraint is being ignored. (sad_face)Please trigger the input constraints once more when using a finalizing action to still block this if a constraint will fail the validation.

User interface for operational employees (large fonts and big buttons)Closed

From our users in the operation (drivers, crane drivers, warehouse employees, production employees) I have heard regularly the requirement for bigger fonts and bigger buttons.These people do have large working hands and the tasks and the prefilters in the universal GUI are really small even as the letter size. They have no problem with scrolling up and down, as long they can read the info and easily can touch the buttons.Idea: We would like to have BIG BUTTONS in the form or at the end of the cardlist with the actions and prefilters they can do.And furthermore if we have 3 tasks or more they are hidden behind a really small icon with 3 dots.. That is hard to explain to these people. For my 3 clients we’re already talking about 300 people.

Automatically squash data migration in merge session.Closed

We would like to specify during merging (or, if necessary, during an upgrade) that data migrations should be squashed. Now this has to be done manually after merging a branch, and if forgotten, data could be lost. If this can be specified with a check mark in the merge session, which is on by default, that would be nice. It could also possibly be done at the start of an upgrade, but the preference for us is before the merge session.

Option to hide collapsible formCompleted

Hi all,I use the tab page option to create a division between two groups in a form. This way, a specific layout is possible. In platform upgrade 2025.1 the collapsible form is introduced, triggered by the tabpage option.However, there is no option to hide the clickable part of the collapsible form. I want the layout to be the same, without the blue bar.Tab pages create collapsible forms with a clickable part (light blue bar)It would be nice to have the option to keep the layout of tab pages in Universal and hide the clickable part.One way to implement this, is to create a checkbox in Subjects → Component → Form. When selected (by default) the clickable part is shown and the form can be collapsed. When the checkbox is empty, the clickable part is not shown, the form is not collapsible, but the layout is the same. An option to hide the collapsible form can be implemented in this section.Kind regards,Rick

Clickable Breadcrumb path Universal GUIOpen

The breadcrumb path in the Universal GUI looks like a clickable Windows Explorer setup, but it's not.When going through some software with a stakeholder they were wondering why they couldn't click the breadcrumb path to move back to the last screen or even the one before that.An excellent idea I thought! I hereby forward it. Let's have a clickable breadcrumb path to navigate more smoothly like you would in an explorer browser.

Add custom Menu items to topbar in Universal GUIOn the backlog

It would be great to be able to add Menu items to the topbar in the Universal GUI. I presume this is not new to the Universal development team. It is becoming quite common for applications to have a few icons to the top right (next to the User icon) with usefull features. If we would have the ability to ‘pin’ certain Menu items to the topbar, we come a long way I believe.These Menu items could be displayed as small Icons, including Badge symbols. Some ideas for which I believe this feature would be valuable:My Tasks: a list with all Open Tasks for that User. Badge symbol to show nr of Open Tasks My Workflow/Approvals: a list with all Pending Approvals/Reviews for that User. Badge symbol to show nr of Pending items Notifications: a list with all notifications for the user (we are considering a feature to Subscribe to specific records, triggering a notification if certain activity is happening on that record) Help: a link to page/context-specific User Instructions

Look-up value in cubeOn the backlog

I'd like to see the look-up value of a table in a cube. For example when I want to show the employee, now I have to use employee_name, thats fine. But often I'd like to create a reference between the cube/view and employee, so I have to add employee_id too, now we have two columns what could be one if the cube supported look-up values.

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

Some errors, especially on views can be huge. This will make it not possible to click on the show database event log unless you zoom out to a tiny zoom level. Please set a maxium for the information thrown. And when too large show a snippet instead. normal zoom:  Zoom level 33% will show the hyper links:

IAM Schedule log - Log all Process Flows and (optionally) all Process Actions tooOn the backlog

Currently IAM Schedule log gives us an overview of all System flows that ran, with very limited information. As an extension to this we would like to see:Logging for all Process Flows - also the User-invoked ones Logging for all Process Actions as a Detail table - allowing us to see start date / end date input/output variables, and status for each individual Process Action within the Process Flow. This will help us monitor, review, debug and improve Process Flows. Since for certain use cases the information contained in these variables might be sensitive, logging Process Actions should be optional.Note: due to this functionality currently missing within the platform, we have created our own smart dynamic logic to monitor our Process Flows and Actions. This comes with some limitations however, since we have no way to establish with 100% certainty the status and end date of a Process Action. We have to resort to using the start date of the next Action as end date for the previous Action. And if the next Action is never reached we have no idea why not and therefore log an end date based on a time-out of x minutes.
