Hello everyone,

In this release, we have focused on resolving issues and improving the appearance and usability of the Universal GUI. We have made styling improvements to the sidebar of the Universal GUI and improved the target area for resizing in the Scheduler. We have also fixed some issues in Cube views, process flow actions, and improved the Suggestion type lookup editor.

Demo

As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen.

Read the Universal GUI user interface guide to get familiar with the GUI.

User interface - Sidebar styling improvements

change

We have made some styling improvements to the sidebar in the Universal GUI:

• The menu switcher button is now square when the menu is collapsed.
• Menu item alignment and icon sizes have been adjusted for a more uniform design.
• The left corner radius of the workspace has been modified for better visual balance.

User interface - Improved target area for resizing in the Scheduler

change

In the Scheduler, the resource column or area was too small, making it difficult for users to resize it. We have enlarged the target area that users can hover over to make resizing easier. In addition, the resized area will be remembered on their device.

Minor fixes and tasks

• We have fixed the following two issues in Cube views (menu User interface > Business Intelligence > tab Tables > tab Cube views):
  • When a Dimension was sorted by a Value that had the aggregation type min or max with the Sort by cube field setting, the sorting was incorrect
  • When a Dimension was sorted by another Dimension with the Sort by cube field setting, the setting was ignored.
• In a cube, when a group was created with items like year(date) and quarter(date), and the year was added as a dimension in the Software Factory, the rest of the group would not expand when starting. When this same group was added in the pivot table editor, the groups would expand, but when another item was added behind it, it would appear inside the group. Both issues have been fixed.
• We have improved the Suggestion type lookup editor. When a user types a new criterion, a new set of options is loaded. However, depending on the network latency, the response to a previous search would sometimes arrive later than the response to the last one. We have fixed this so that the list of options always matches the latest search criteria.
• The process flow action Clear filters did not clear predefined and user-defined prefilters. We have fixed this. All active prefilters will now be cleared except for locked or hidden ones.
• When a detail tab was not activated, the process flow action Activate detail opened the detail subject, but reported the status as unsuccessful, causing the flow to follow the red arrow for an unsuccessful action. In addition, the continuation of the flow did not wait for the detail subject to load its data. Both issues have been fixed.
• We have fixed an issue where executing a process flow that disabled all active prefilters would cause hidden prefilters to become visible.
• Canceling changes in a record in a default editable grid caused the Form tab to be activated. This has been fixed.
• When editing a grid's cell value and navigating to another cell, the cursor would sometimes unexpectedly jump to another component (such as a form or filter form). We have fixed this so the cursor now stays within the component that is being edited.
• The date picker would always select the day part, even when clicking on the month or year. This has now been fixed and the appropriate part will be selected when clicked on.
• Saved date-type prefilters that used empty or not empty operators were resulting in a bad-request error. This has been fixed.

What we will be working on next sprint

The next sprint we will be working on:

• Support for the Thinkwise Platform version 2025.1
• Restyling of the grid/pivot table
• Maintenance
