In release 2023.1.16, we have fixed some issues involving SVG images. To enable these fixes, two changes for SVG icons were necessary. These changes have been applied to model icons and icons uploaded by users with an upload control.Style tags were stripped from uploaded SVGs. These tags allowed insertion of random CSS on the web page. If you still need CSS styles, most SVG editors default export SVGs with a style="" attribute instead of a style tag. Attributes are still supported. Larger SVGs were resized to fit Image elements.The icons are probably cached by your browser, so the changes will only be visible after you have cleared the cache or added new icons.We recommend that you validate in the Software Factory- and end product database if you are using icons with style tags in your project. For example, with a query like this one, that searches for the `<style>` tag:select distinct * ,cast(icon_data as VARCHAR(max)) from icon where right(icon, 4) = '.svg' and cast(icon_data as VARCHAR(max)) like '%<style>%' --and branch_id = 'MAIN'The resulting icons may not show up as expected after clearing the browser’s cache. To fix this, replace the <style> tag with inline styles in the SVG files:Open the SVG file in a text editor. Search for the <style> block and convert in into inline styles.In the example below, the style from the `<style>` tag is applied to all elements in de SVG file containing the a style class. You can read more about different CSS selectors here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors SVG icon with inline styleWe hope this gives you enough information to work around this problem.
May 26, 2023Full release 2023.1.17 Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added new features like a screen component and settings for applying conditional layouts to task and report parameters, confirming manually saved records, and hiding breadcrumbs in a screen. We have also improved the custom CSS.And as the Thinkwise Platform release 2023.2 approaches, we have been working on support for it. DemoAs 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. Universal GUI version 2023.1.17For more information about setting up the Universal GUI, see the Universal GUI setup guide.Note:Use a modern browser to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Deploy the Universal GUI on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in appsettings.json. The Universal GUI only works with version 2021.2 and up of the Thinkwise Platform. Run all hotfixes on IAM and the Software Factory that you plan to use for the Universal GUI. Use the latest version of Indicium.Download the Universal GUI version 2023.1.17 here ContentsDemo Universal GUI version 2023.1.17 Contents New New screen component: Toolbar Conditional layouts for task and report parameters New subject setting: Confirm update New lookup control: Suggestion starts with Hide breadcrumbs on main screen Changed Background colors and picture in custom CSS Set a background color for a subject or variant Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? New New screen component: ToolbarA new screen component is now available: the Toolbar. You can add it to a screen in the Software Factory (menu User interface > Screen types > tab Design).Use this component to manually place the toolbar anywhere on a screen. When you add it to a screen, the default toolbar will not be generated.This setting is available in the Thinkwise Platform version 2023.1 when you are up-to-date with all Software Factory hotfixes and in the upcoming 2023.2 release. An example of the toolbar wedged between task and report tiles Conditional layouts for task and report parametersConditional layouts were already available for default forms. Now, you can also create them for task and report parameters. You can use them, for example, in a task parameter dialog to draw the user's attention to a specific field.You can set the conditional layouts in:menu Processes > Tasks > tab Conditional layout/Universal menu Processes > Reports > tab Conditional layout/Universal New subject setting: Confirm updateThe Universal GUI now supports the Confirm update setting (menu User interface > Subjects > tab Settings > tab General > group Settings). When selected, a user needs to confirm a manually saved record. This is already available for deletion or cancellation (Confirm delete). New lookup control: Suggestion starts withWe have added a new lookup control: Suggestion starts with (menu User interface > Subjects > tab Columns > tab Lookup). When a user searches for a value, the Universal GUI will display suggestions based on the characters that the value begins with. Hide breadcrumbs on main screenIt is now possible to hide the bread crumbs on a main screen. You can use this, for example, for cubes. In a cube, showing the current record is not very useful.The setting is available in the menu User interface > Screen types > tab Form > tab Screen types > group Settings.This setting is available as of the upcoming 2023.2 release. Example of a screen without breadcrumbs Changed Background colors and picture in custom CSSIn the Software Factory, you can set the background colors and image for your application (menu User interface > Themes). Now, you can use these colors and image in your custom CSS using custom properties (CSS variables).For the Main color, use --primary-color For the Accent color, use --secondary-color For the Theme picture, use --background-pictureExample:/* Give labels the primary color with a background image, with a backup for light mode */.light label { color: var(--primary-color, #323232) !important; background-image: var(--background-picture) !important;}/* Make all SVG's the secondary color, with a backup for light mode */.light svg { fill: var(--secondary-color, #323232) !important;}/* Give labels the primary color with a background image, with a backup for dark mode */.dark label { color: var(--primary-color, #fafafa) !important; background-image: var(--background-picture) !important;}/* Make all SVG's the secondary color, with a backup for dark mode */.dark svg { fill: var(--secondary-color, #fafafa) !important;} Set a background color for a subject or variantEach screen in the Software Factory now has data properties that allow you to access the current subject and variant.data-tab-id={tab} data-tab-variant-id={tab variant} data-tab-ref-id={reference id}You can use these properties in your CSS to set a background color for a subject or variant:[data-tab-id="project"][data-tab-variant-id="mobile"] .grid { background: #fafafa !important;}This CSS only changes the background for the grid on the subject project with the variant mobile. Minor fixes and tasksIn some cases, the toolbar had an incorrect size, causing the Refresh button to overlap with a task button or the task overflow menu to be invisible. This has been fixed. We fixed that some controls (image, progress bar) were not vertically aligned in the center of the grid. If you executed a task to update a field in the current record, the editable form would still display the previous value. This has been fixed. The Edit row process action did not follow the 'unsuccessful' arrow when there was no record. This has been fixed. Note that you need the latest version of Indicium for this fix.

May 5, 2023Full release 2023.1.16 Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added support for expanding and collapsing an entire tree view, for opening a document in a floating browser window, and a filter indicator is shown on grid column headers.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress. Universal GUI version 2023.1.16Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Using the Universal GUI with IE is not supported. The Universal GUI must be deployed on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in appsettings.json.

New All items in a tree can be expanded and collapsedWe have added two new actions to the filter overflow menu of the toolbar: Collapse all and Expand all. These actions are only available for a tree component. Use them to expand or collapse all items in the tree view.If you select Default expanded for the tree view, that setting is no longer ignored.Note that the active row is always expanded.Expand or collapse a tree Open (detail) document in a new browser windowUniversal now provides equivalent functionality to the floating window. Press ALT and click in the menu or on detail tiles, or press ALT and double-click a detail tab to open that (detail) document in a new floating browser window.The windows are not connected. If you display the same records in both windows and make changes in one of them, the changes will not be reflected in the other window.Note that Open as floating document is not yet available in document-related process actions.Open a document in a new browser window Changed The resource scheduler uses user language from IAMThe resource scheduler would translate information on a page based on the installation settings of a browser, which would be undesirable in some cases.These translations are now based on the IAM language settings of the user who is currently logged in. Filter icon on a grid column headerIf you apply a filter to the grid, column headers now display the filter icon next to their name if their content is being filtered. Minor fixes and tasks The prefilters were not always visible in the prefilter bar the first time the screen was opened due to a timing issue. This has been fixed. Screens that contain a fixed-size component are now shown correctly. We have fixed some issues with the image upload control in combination with an SVG image. An SVG's style tags are now stripped from uploaded SVGs. These style tags allowed the insertion of random CSS on the web page. In case CSS styles are needed, most SVG editors allow for and by default export SVGs with that style as a style="" attribute instead of with a style tag, which is still supported. Larger SVGs are now resized to fit Image elements. For more information, see Style tags in SVG icons. The scroll position could be incorrect if you started a task on a card list. The card list now correctly scrolls to the active card. Unrelated detail subjects did start loading after changing the parent record, when they should not. This has been fixed. We have fixed the behavior of messages: Messages with the id add_separator will not be shown. Messages with the id clear_panel will hide all snackbar and panel messages. Zoomed details are now marked with a › in the open documents. Zoomed details marked with a > What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Drag and drop - Start on implementation for drag and drop in the grid Material UI upgrade - Universal GUI uses the third-party library Material UI for certain graphical components.

A hotfix release of the Universal GUI was requested to fix the latest production release: We have fixed a crash that could happen when a task was executed as a start object The 2023.1.15.1 release is now available to download in TCP.
April 14, 2023Full release 2023.1.15 Fixes: We have fixed a crash that could happen when a running process flow was executing a hidden task. The grid no longer has an empty Add row if the subject only allows adding and not editing. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we implemented a lot of new features, changes, community ideas, and fixes.Some of the main new features are the possibility to retrieve a user's current GPS location, and the availability of a lot of new cube chart configuration properties.The performance of relational data retrieval in lookups has also been greatly improved.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress. Universal GUI version 2023.1.15Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

Use the latest version of Indicium.Download the Universal GUI version 2023.1.15 here ContentsUniversal GUI version 2023.1.15 New and changed Support for fetching a user's current GPS location Performance improvement for relational data values Set cube chart defaults Refresh on revisiting a page or tab Behavior of local login for authentication provider hint Display options for table tasks and table reports Changed and new in form and grid New in Model insight Support for HTML in preview component Changed and new in process flows Translation in Scheduler based on IAM 'Clear' button only on hover Improved messages Minor fixes and tasks Fixes in grids and forms Fixes for tasks and reports Fixes for process flows Fixes for user interface Miscellaneous What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? New and changed Support for fetching a user's current GPS locationnew community ideaIt is now possible to fetch the current location from a device that supports GPS.To enable this, add Control type LOCATION to a domain (menu Data > Domains). The input field will get a location pin. When a user clicks on this pin, the GUI will ask permission to add the location coordinates.The format of the coordinates is: latitude,longitudeExample: 52.2083228,5.9794353When a user adds a new row, the LOCATION control will automatically fill the current location for empty mandatory input fields.In a mandatory field, the location is filled automaticallyIf the field is not in edit mode, it will become a clickable link that opens the coordinates in Google Maps.A clickable location link in a non-editable field Performance improvement for relational data valueschangedPreviously, lookup values were loaded right after the subject's data. This resulted in a delay before the values would show in grids and card lists. Every lookup column made its own Expand API request to Indicium, even if the lookup column was not visible. These requests used a lot of resources.We have changed this by expanding the lookup values directly on the subject's main data request.Extra requests are no longer necessary. This change has resulted in a much faster experience.All values now show up at once. And, by executing the main select only once, a lot of overhead is saved in the individual calls on the web- and database server, especially when the main subject contains a view with some logic.So, for every relational (lookup) column in the subject or variant, it saves a request to the backend. The best way to experience the performance improvement is to check it out yourself.Make sure that each lookup subject performs fast on its own because a single slow lookup will delay loading all the data from the main subject. Set cube chart defaultsnewFor a cube chart, you can now add all the configuration properties from https://www.fusioncharts.com/dev/chart-attributes to the Universal GUI's config.json fileunder the property chartDefaults.The properties will not override the properties that come from the model:caption, decimalSeparator, thousandSeparator, stack100Percent, showValues,showPercentage, showLegend, legendPosition, and reverseLegend.It is possible to override the paletteColors property, but if that contains only one item, this color will remain the theme's main color.Example: to prevent cube charts from rounding values, use the property "chartDefaults": { "formatNumber": "0" }.CautionThe settings are applied to all charts of the GUI to which this config.json file belongs. There are many properties, and we did not test all of them.We are investigating formalization of these settings in the Software Factory.Example of the settings and the result in a chart Refresh on revisiting a page or tabnew Community ideaTo provide a user with fresh data when they revisit an open document or reselect a detail tab, we have implemented support for two extended properties:RefreshOnDocumentSwitch - refreshes an already opened document on re-entrance RefreshOnTabSwitch - refreshes an already visited detail tab on reactivationBe careful when using these settings since they increase the server load in a multi-user environment. Consider using a process flow or auto-refresh with change detection instead.See:Auto-refresh Change detection Behavior of local login for authentication provider hintchangedIn the 2023.1.13 release, we added the loginAuthProviderHint option to provide a hint about the authentication provider to Indicium.In this release, we have changed the behavior when the hint locallogin is used. The Universal GUI will now show the login screen without redirecting to Indicium. Display options for table tasks and table reportsnew Community ideaIn the Software Factory, a new setting is available for Table tasks and Table reports. It is called Display type.With this setting, you can control their appearance in the toolbar. For example, if you select Icon, the toolbar button will never expand to show the text. You can differentiate this setting for each button.The setting is available:For Table tasks: menu Processes > Tasks > tab Table tasks > tab Form For Table reports: menu Processes > Reports > tab Table reports > tab FormExample: display options for a table report Changed and new in form and gridchanged newColumns unlocked when space is insufficient - In a screen with insufficient horizontal space, the grid will now one by one unlock the locked columns. If the screen layout or size is changed to provide more space, the columns will be locked again. 'Add' for grouped grids disabled - We have disabled Add for grouped grids since it is not possible to fill in all the required values. This will be re-enabled later. Tooltip on image combo in grid - A tooltip that displays the domain element name of an image combo is now available in the grid. You can set the domain element name in the menu Data > Domains > tab Elements > field Element. 'No. of columns in form' interpreted differently - If the setting No. of columns in form is set to '0', the Universal GUI will now interpret this as "as many columns as possible" instead of just three (menu User interface > Subjects > tab Settings > tab General > group Form). Support for password editing in a grid - We now support editing a password column in the grid (based on a Password domain control). This was already possible in the form. Previously, the password column remained read-only. Responsive pagination - We have made the pagination element responsive. This change solves some issues with pagination showing incorrect pages and wrong links. Pagination will now only show a certain number of links, with a minimum of 3-4, depending on the available space. This change prevents pagination links from moving to the next line in almost all situations, and it shows more links when more space is available. It also fixes the overflow of pagination to a second row on a device with a small screen in comfortable mode. New in Model insightnewModel Insight now shows the reference id when clicking on a detail tab page header.Model Insight is a tool that helps you find, for example, which column, table, and variant you have selected in the Universal GUI. See: Model insight. Support for HTML in preview componentWe have added support for previewing HTML data in the preview component. Previously, we supported file and URL types. Changed and new in process flowschanged new'Change filters' process action no longer clears search field - The Change filters process action no longer clears the search field. Now, it functions the same as in the Windows GUI. Process flow indicator - An indeterminate progress bar will now appear underneath the top bar once a process flow has been activated within the current active subject.Progress bar for a progress flow Translation in Scheduler based on IAMchangedThe Scheduler would translate information on a page based on the installation settings of a browser, which would be undesirable in some cases. This translation is now based on the IAM language settings of a user. 'Clear' button only on hoverchangedOn non-touch devices, the lookup Clear button will be shown only on hover to give more space to the content. Improved messageschangedIf the Start empty with filter setting in a Subject was enabled, but the user did not filter, the Universal GUI would display "No result" as a message in the grid and card list. This did not explain the problem to the user. Now, the message "Search or filter to view data" will be displayed instead. Community idea A user now receives a comprehensible message if the meta source cannot be reached while logging in. Minor fixes and tasksFixes in grids and formsIn a grid, adding was only possible if editing was allowed. Without editing permission, the add button would not show up. Now, it is possible to add data without permission for editing. This fix also solves the reverse problem, that in some cases, the add button was visible without functioning. The permissions for adding and editing are set in the menu User interface > Subjects > tab Settings > tab Permissions > group Data manipulation. After selecting a lookup value in a lookup popup, the GUI would not restore the focus to the lookup field. The same occurred when canceling the popup. This has been fixed. The lookup field now receives focus after the popup is closed. Tab text combined with a badge is now properly aligned in compact mode. On a small screen or with a long label, the label of a datetime control could overlap with the date picker icon. This has been fixed. The label now takes up less width. When you opened a form with a double click, sometimes all the text in the application was selected. This has been fixed. Identity columns are now prevented from being marked as mandatory when adding a new record. The grouped grid will no longer cut off headers when they reach a new column.Fixes for tasks and reportsWhen you cleared the Layout checkbox in the Performance tab of a task or report, the Universal GUI ignored this and still asked for the layout via Indicium and thus the network. This has been fixed. As a result, the Universal GUI now uses the Software Factory's Mandatory and Column type settings for report and task parameters. You can find the Layout checkbox in the menu Processes > Tasks/Reports > tab Settings > tab Performance. The settings Mandatory and Column type (editable, read-only, hidden) are available in the menu Processes > Tasks/Reports > tab Task parameters > tab Form. The taskbar will no longer be in overflow if left-aligned.Fixes for process flowsWe have improved the way a process flow continues in a just-loaded detail subject. Some issues occurred when dispatching follow-up actions, for example, with the Go to row process action. The problem was caused by follow-up actions that sometimes selected the parent to continue in. The Universal GUI would show an error when starting a process flow and quickly closing the screen. This problem was due to a timing issue. It has been fixed.Fixes for user interfaceWe have fixed a bug where the toolbar would not be hidden even though the screen type had Hide main action bar set to 'true'. A hierarchical tree would crash without a parent or primary key column. Now, it will show a clear error instead. The Allow sort configuration option in a Subject had not been implemented correctly. This has been fixed.MiscellaneousSchedulers with an hourly time scale now correctly start the day at 0 hours instead of 24 hours. When using a progress bar within a card list, the progress bar would not be rendered properly. This has been fixed. In the Maps component, when you selected the Use custom label column checkbox (menu User interface > Maps > tab Tables > tab Maps) but kept the field Label column empty, the Universal GUI would show the subjects' Display column value. Now, it will show no label text at all underneath the marker. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Drag and drop - Research of technical issues and possibilities. Material UI upgrade - Universal GUI uses the third-party library Material UI for certain graphical components. This library has its own releases. We will upgrade the Universal GUI to a recent Material UI version. Tree component expand/collapse all - We will add the option to expand and collapse all items in a tree in one go. Pop out document to new browser tab - This will replace the floating document functionality of the Windows GUI and open a new browser window with the related document.

A hotfix release of the Universal GUI was requested to fix the latest production release:We've decided to revert this fix from the 2023.1.14.0 release: Previously, switching between documents would briefly show the form with only one column, despite there being room for multiple columns. Also, the action bar would become visible with a slight delay. The fix was causing crashes on entrance of a new subject on iOS and Firefox in some cases and we also noticed incorrect representation of the breakpoint screen type in all browsers.This item is back on our backlog now.The 2023.1.14.1 release is now available to download in TCP.
March 24, 2023Full release 2023.1.14 Fixes: Since the last beta release, the clear and dropdown buttons of the lookup control were misplaced when the grid column got too narrow, causing the text to be out of view. Now, they disappear (again) when the grid column gets too narrow. We fixed regression on Safari and Chrome on iOS. Some screens would show an error due to toolbar positioning when the subject is opened. Because of this fix, the following fix is no longer available for iOS devices,: Previously, switching between documents would briefly show the form with only one column, despite there being room for multiple columns. Also, the action bar would become visible with a slight delay. These issues have been fixed. Update: we reverted this fix completely for all cases as part of the 2023.1.14.1 hotfix release. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added support for changing the row height in a grid, tooltip translations on multiple components, persistent navigation URLs for history browsing, performance improvements, and more.A full overview of all features, changes, and fixes can be found below.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress.

New Tooltip translations on prefilter buttons, task and report tiles, and task and report buttonsThe Universal GUI now displays the configured tooltip translation on prefilter buttons, task and report tiles, and task and report buttons.If a task has a keyboard shortcut, it will be displayed next to the configured tooltip translation.Tooltip on a prefilter buttonTooltip on a task buttonYou can configure the translation in the menu User interface > Translations or in the object, task, or report. HTML formatting is allowed in tooltips. For example, to make part of a text stand out or add a bullet list.The example below shows the translation for a prefilter: Tooltip support on form editorsThe Universal GUI now displays the configured tooltip translation on editors of the general form and task/report parameter input. You can configure the translation in the menu User interface > Translations or in the subjects column of the task/report parameter. HTML formatting is allowed in tooltips, for example, to make part of a text stand out or add a bullet list.The customized tooltip overrules a potential tooltip on an overflowing label or value within the editor, to prevent multiple tooltips from being displayed.Tooltips are supported now on all editors, except for:HTML Checkbox Radio button LabelTooltip on a text editor New process action: Copy to clipboardThe Universal GUI now supports the new process action Copy to clipboard. This action allows you to take a value and copy it to the user's clipboard.The value can be a single-column value, multiple-column values combined, or something else.Depending on the browser or device, a user may get a question for permission to copy information to the clipboard.This process action is only available through a hotfix on the Software Factory/IAM version 2023.1. Process flow progress indicatorAn indeterminate progress bar will now appear as a thin line underneath the top bar once a process flow has been activated.A progress bar for a progress flow Configurable row height in gridIt is now possible to define the row height of the grid, just like in the Windows GUI. This means that the Universal GUI will take the setting Row height (px) into account.You can set the row height in the following locations:menu User interface > Subjects > tab Subjects > tab Default settings > tab Default settings > group Grid menu User interface > Subjects > tab Subjects > tab Default > tab Settings > group GridFor compact mode, the exact value provided will be used. For comfortable mode, padding is added to this setting. If comfortable mode is active, the row height value will always be at least the minimum touch target of 44px.Limitations for this iteration:When in edit mode, the controls do not scale. When the grid is editable, the row height value will be at least 36px.The grid header height follows the grid row height but adds a bit of spacing to emphasize the separation between the rows and the headers. Both the grid header and summary row have a maximum height cap, and the summary row has a minimum height of 40px. Navigation URL now uses application alias when presentThe navigation URL that is used for history browsing now uses the application alias. This makes it persistent and suitable to be bookmarked and shared. Changed Performance improvement gridWe have done a performance optimization on the grid component. Actions like refreshing a grid, switching records, and editing in the grid should all benefit from this optimization. Rendering additional records in the grid due to scrolling should also be faster. Performance improvement lookupsWe have optimized the loading time of lookups when entering edit mode by removing unnecessary network requests. This improves the performance on slower connections. Minor fixes and tasks When opening multiple screens with auto-save enabled, sometimes the auto-save stopped working correctly. This has been fixed. If no records were available in the default-editable grid after applying a filter, selecting Cancel would result in an error. This has been fixed. Combo images are now aligned horizontally in compact mode. This fix removes some safety guards on SVGs in combo images. Note that poorly formatted SVGs seemed to work before this change, but now might give different results. Ensure that there is no height/width information in the SVG if you do not intend to influence those properties. The GUI will size the SVG correctly, but it will try to conform to what the developer indicates as much as possible while keeping the SVG within bounds. Previously, switching between documents would briefly show the form with only one column, despite there being room for multiple columns. Also, the action bar would become visible with a slight delay. These issues have been fixed. Note: we've reverted this fix as part of the 2023.1.14.1 hotfix release and will take a look at it later on. We fixed regression on Safari and Chrome on iOS. Some screens would show an error due to toolbar positioning when the subject is opened. The HTML control no longer overlaps other controls when placed side-by-side. HTML fields would not show up when placed behind another field. This has been fixed. The Universal GUI no longer shows an error after closing a lookup dialog. This would happen after double-clicking a record if the lookup dialog only contained a grid component. If the Universal GUI encountered a view in which duplicate primary keys were found, the grid would crash with a nondescript error. We have created a clear error message for this situation:Since the last beta release, the clear and dropdown buttons of the lookup control were misplaced when the grid column got too narrow, causing the text to be out of view. Now, they disappear (again) when the grid column gets too narrow. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Catching up with quick wins and quality-of-life stories.

A hotfix release of the Universal GUI was requested to fix the latest production release: The GUI no longer shows an error after closing a lookup dialog. This would happen after double-clicking a record if the lookup dialog only contained a grid component. The 2023.1.13.1 release is now available to download in TCP.
March 3, 2023:Full 2023.1.13 release Fixes: When reopening the last opened document after refreshing the browser window, its icon was not displayed. This has been fixed. We fixed an error message being shown when canceling a task from a start object or the menu. We also fixed an issue with start objects being started twice. Hello everyone,An important change in this release is, that we improved the responsiveness of controls in a form. This might require some adaptations to your model, so read the notes on this subject carefully.A new feature is the possibility to provide Indicium with a hint about your authentication provider(s), which will add the required OpenID providers to the login screen. We also improved the developer experience by adding support for refreshing the model and reloading the application model when it has expired.A full overview of all features, changes, and fixes can be found below.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress. Universal GUI version 2023.1.13Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Using the Universal GUI with IE is not supported. The Universal GUI must be deployed on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in appsettings.json. The Universal GUI only works with version 2021.2 and up of the Thinkwise Platform. Make sure you run all hotfixes on IAM and the Software Factory that you plan to use for the Universal GUI. Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium.Download the Universal GUI version 2023.1.13 here ContentsUniversal GUI version 2023.1.13 New Provide an authentication provider hint to Indicium Refresh model from profile menu Reloading on model change History browsing supported Changed Improved responsiveness Toolbar positioning and density improvements Activate the form on double click Single cube view button hidden Mandatory indication changes to indeterminate checkboxes Minor fixes and tasks Fixes for process flows Fixes for the grid Fixes for documents Fixes for tasks Fixes in the layout What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? New Provide an authentication provider hint to IndiciumCommunity ideaIt is now possible to provide Indicium with a hint about the authentication provider that should be used by adding the setting 'loginAuthProviderHint' to the config.json file. It can be used for single Indicium instances with multiple OpenID providers configured.Imagine a scenario where three OpenID providers are configured: Google, Facebook, and AzureAD.You can host a Universal GUI with the 'loginAuthProviderHint' set to "Google, Facebook" to show both OpenID Provider buttons for signing in. You can host another Universal GUI for your employees on a different URL with the 'loginAuthProviderHint' set to "AzureAD". To provide a hint that allows only local sign-in, you should add "localLogin".If, after filtering the options on the hint, only one option is available, it will be chosen automatically.A login screen with three authentication providers Refresh model from profile menuWe have added an option to refresh the model. It is available from the profile menu (this is the menu you can open from the top-right corner). This option will reload both the model on Indicium and the Universal GUI. It is only available to users configured as developers in IAM.Refresh the model from the profile menu Reloading on model changeWe now support reloading the application when the application model has expired. Just click 'Update now' to reload and use the new model. This is the same as when the GUI version is renewed. It also adds an indicator to the user profile menu if a user closes the message without updating (now).Reload the application on a model change History browsing supportedWe now support history browsing. With history browsing, you can use the back and forward buttons in your browser or device to navigate between previously active subjects. Reloading the Universal GUI, for example, by pressing F5 or using the refresh model function, re-opens the last opened subject.It has some limitations:When browsing back, a subject with a selected tab and an active record will be restored only if it was present as an open document. If it is closed or if the entire Universal GUI is reloaded, the subject will start in a default state. After reloading, only the last subject is restored. Open documents are not. In this first version, the history browsing does not recognize an opened detail subject (double clicking on a tab header or detail tile). Changed Improved responsivenessThis change may require some adaptations to your model in the Software Factory.The Form component of the Universal GUI has been designed to be responsive. This means that editors will fill out 100% of the available space while respecting side-by-side placement.In the Software Factory, the width of the fields is configured in pixels, whereas the Universal GUI's responsive design asks for percentages. Previously, this calculation did not respect hidden controls ('hidden outside form' or number 3 in the layout logic). This resulted in empty space around the visible controls on the same line, which looked a bit messy. This has been fixed for the Form component and the task/report parameter input. Of course, the open space will remain reserved for controls defined as 'hidden inside form' or number 2 in the layout logic.Before:Form component: field width before the changeAfter:Form component: field width after the changeThis change is also visible in the Form list component. Previously, the width of controls placed side-by-side was spread equally over the number of controls without the possibility to change it. Now, the Universal GUI will listen to the field width configured in the Software Factory with the algorithm described above. Toolbar positioning and density improvementsPreviously, the toolbar containing the search and filter bar and the action bar had the width of the entire subject. When an area of the subject only contained detail subjects with their own toolbars, it could be unclear which buttons belonged to which subject.Now, the toolbar only has the width of the components of the subject, so it no longer extends above the details. In addition, we have removed the Filters and Actions labels.Before, the toolbar spanned the entire widthNow, the toolbar is only as wide as the components it applies to Activate the form on double clickThe grid and the card list will now activate the form on a double click if no double-click task is set. Single cube view button hiddenWhen a cube subject contains a single cube view, a button for it in the toolbar is not necessary. From now on, it will be hidden. Mandatory indication changes to indeterminate checkboxesIf a checkbox is set to mandatory (menu Data > Domains), it may give users the impression that they have to select it, even if they do not want to. To address this issue, you can set the checkbox to a default state of 'null' (indeterminate). After selecting an indeterminate checkbox, the mandatory indicator will now disappear, making it less confusing for the user. Minor fixes and tasksFixes for process flowsIn some situations, in a process flow in combination with an Add row process action, a 'Bad Request' error could occur. This has been fixed.Fixes for the gridWhen an image column was used as a grid group, the image would not be displayed. This has been fixed. When canceling touch multiselection in the grid on a touch device, it would wrongly keep showing the multi-select checkboxes. This has been fixed. When scrolling in the grid on a slower touch device, the performance would be somewhat worse because the active row was changed wrongly with each swipe. This has been fixed. We also made some minor extra performance improvements in the grid.Fixes for documentsWhen an auto-saving document is open (with or without changes), it is now possible to log off via the profile menu. The document will be saved automatically. When an already opened document was re-activated, it sometimes opened empty. This has been fixed. When reopening the last opened document after refreshing the browser window, its icon was not displayed. This has been fixed.Fixes for tasksWhen a task is configured with the refresh option Row, the Universal GUI now refreshes all the selected rows after the task has been executed successfully. Note: as of 5 selected records and up, the entire set is refreshed instead of only the selected records plus their logic. At some point, the latency on the number of network calls will overrule the performance win. The form controls in a task popup would show as read-only when something went wrong during the execution. This has been fixed. Now, the task popup is editable after an error. When using [CTRL]+click to select grid rows, the Universal GUI would not always take all the selected rows into account when executing a task. This has been fixed. We fixed an error message being shown when canceling a task from a start object or the menu. We also fixed an issue with start objects being started twice. Fixes in the layout The Label control type now listens to the Field width setting (menu Data > Domains > tab Form > tab Domain). In compact mode, the progress bar is now aligned vertically in the center of the grid. SVG icons in the tree are now limited to 20px in compact mode and 24px in comfortable mode to keep the tree tidy. A form can be divided into groups with or without a title. Without a title and only a separator, the separator line was shown sticky against the first control. Now, the separator has proper padding. The bottom borders of buttons in the toolbar were missing. This has been fixed. A missing bottom border What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on: Custom settings for the grid line height sizes. A new process action that allows you to copy anything to the clipboard. Tooltip translations in action bars and form controls.

February 15, 2023Hotfixed 2023.1.12.0 to version: 2023.1.12.1 A crash could occur when opening a resource scheduler in Universal 2023.1.12.0 after having opened the same scheduler in 2023.1.11 or earlier. This has been fixed.Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added support for OAuth login, support for task and report tiles, and record navigation with the arrow keys. Please read on for a complete overview of all new features, changes, and fixes.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress. Universal GUI version 2023.1.12.1Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Using the Universal GUI with IE is not supported. The Universal GUI must be deployed on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in the appsettings.json. The Universal GUI only works with version 2021.2 and up of the Thinkwise Platform. Make sure you run all hotfixes on IAM and the Software Factory that you plan to use for the Universal GUI. Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium. Download the Universal GUI version 2023.1.12 here Contents of this release Universal GUI version 2023.1.12.1 New Support for OAuth connectors Support for task and report tiles Changed Record navigation in default editable grid Opening a subject looks smoother and does not flicker anymore Active application hook Timescales and custom timescales Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? NewSupport for OAuth connectorsThe Universal GUI now supports the use of OAuth connectors as process actions in your process flows. This includes both the login and the refresh token connectors. You can read more about the OAuth connectors in our Documentation.With the OAuth login connector, you can safely authenticate and log in using an external provider. The OAuth login connector requests the user to log in at an external provider, which results in a login token that Indicium receives. This token can be used in follow-up process actions to request data from the external provider.You can also use the OAuth refresh token connector in your process flows.To use the OAuth connectors, you need Indicium version 2023.1.12 or higher. Support for task and report tilesThe Universal GUI now supports task and report tiles. Adding task and report tiles is supported by Software Factory version 2022.2 and higher.You can add task and report tiles under User interface > Screen types > tab Design. Task and report tiles support displaying badges.Example of two task tiles with badgesChangedRecord navigation in default editable gridYou can now navigate through records in a default editable grid using the arrow keys. This gives an even faster editing experience.Drop-down controls use the arrow up and arrow down keys to open the drop-down at the moment.In those cases, these arrows won't navigate to another record. Opening a subject looks smoother and does not flicker anymoreWe have improved the styling of the loading element of a just-opened subject. Opening a subject has become smoother and does not flicker anymore. To achieve this, we have removed the paper with a background color around the spinner element. Active application hookWe have added a hook to the root element of the web page of the GUI. It indicates the active application and can be used to bind custom CSS to a specific application. The hook is called data-active-application, and you can prefix any CSS selector with html[data-active-application="insights"] to style only that active application. Timescales and custom timescalesIn the new Thinkwise Platform release (version 2023.1), the Scheduler has been made a formal part of the Software Factory. It is available in menu User interface > Schedulers.Universal GUI supports the formalized Scheduler, which means that custom timescales are available now.The highest timescale will be used as the scheduler's scale and the lowest for the scheduler's cells. The lowest timescale and any other available timescales will become scheduler headers. For example, if you customize one year, one month, and one day, your scheduler will scale across a year, the cells will be one single day, and a header will show which day and month.It is possible to not show the lowest timescale header (in the previous example: day) by clearing the Labels for lowest timescale checkbox.Just like before, the highest two headers are combined when relevant to save space, for example, by placing the year number behind the month or before the week number.You can configure all kinds of variants, but at the moment, some of them will not show up properly yet. In this release, we have focused on the most common configurations of the 2023.1 platform release:Both default timescales we offered before Year-month-day Year-week-day Day-hour Quarter as a header Quarter as a cell For now, we have removed the option to initially look back one month in time. This functionality will be replaced later by the Sliding window option. Minor fixes and tasksWe have improved the caching of images and icons shown in grids and forms. This leads to fewer network requests to Indicium. If Field number of positions further was set to 2 or higher, the following control types would wrongly fill up that space: This has been fixed. The space will be empty instead, as it should be.

January 20, 2023Changed beta release to the full version: 2023.1.11 Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added some new features and fixed some problems. Some highlights are: playing a sound while showing a message, and executing tasks upon double-clicking a card list, grouped tree, or resource scheduler.Please read on for a complete overview of all new features, changes, and fixes.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal GUI's progress. Universal GUI version 2023.1.11Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium. Download the Universal GUI version 2023.1.11 here Contents of this release Universal GUI version 2023.1.11 Breaking Fixed Field no. of positions New Execute double-click task from card list, grouped tree, or resource scheduler Play a sound while showing a message Changed addContext API Performance Improvement Import and Export immediately have been swapped in the overflow menu Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint BreakingFixed Field no. of positionsThe form setting Field no. of positions further has been updated to match the behavior in the Windows GUI. For example, if you set the Field no. of positions further to 3, there will now be 2 positions above that field.This is a breaking change. If you are using Field no. of positions further in the Universal GUI, make sure to verify that the result is still as intended.You can find this setting in the Software Factory, under the menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default/Variants > tab Components > tab Form.There is a known issue that some controls (multiline, HTML, image link, image upload, and signature) will claim the extra space given by Field no. of positions further for the control after them. This will be fixed in a later release. NewExecute double-click task from card list, grouped tree, or resource schedulerYou can now specify that a task will be executed automatically when a user double-clicks a card in a card list, a grouped tree, or the resource scheduler.Select Double click on record in the task's settings to set this up. Play a sound while showing a messageThe Universal GUI now supports playing a sound when showing a message. You can add sound to popups or snackbar messages.You can configure the sound file in the menu User interface > Messages in the Software Factory. Messages can be used in the following ways:Process flow messages Messages from application logic (Custom) task confirmation ChangedaddContext API Performance ImprovementWhen a task was performed on multiple selected records, each selected record would have its own HTTP call to add it to the staged resource. This process has been improved. The Universal GUI now executes one call to Indicium for the entire selected record set, which speeds up task execution.Indicium must be upgraded to the latest version as older Indicium versions don't support this feature.Executing a task with multiple records will not work correctly on Indicium versions older than 2023.1.10. Import and Export immediately have been swapped in the overflow menuIn the overflow menu of the grid, the options Import and Export immediately have been swapped. Minor fixes and tasksIn some cases, the label of a checkbox displayed '...', indicating text overflow. However, there was enough space to display more characters. This has been fixed. If a screen with task shortcuts was closed and reopened, the task shortcuts could stop working. This has been fixed. If you clicked on a task to continue with a process flow after auto-saving a record, the process flow would not start. You had to click on the task a second time to start it. This has been fixed. When clicking on a different tab in a form while in default edit mode, the tab would not be selected on the first click. You had to click on the tab a second time to open it, and you would not be in edit mode anymore. Now, you will switch to a different tab immediately without losing edit mode. When clicking on a different row in the grid, the tab page with the form in it would be selected for that row. Now, you can click on a different row without anything else changing. The alignment of the Model Insights options in the user profile menu has been improved. When adding or copying in a subject or switching records, the corresponding detail grid summary rows would remain, even though there were no detail records at that point. In these scenarios, the grid summary row is now updated as empty to reflect this. When a subject with change detection was opened, the first request to detect changes would not include @last_refresh_utc, even though the dataset had already been fetched when the subject was opened. This has been corrected. @last_refresh_utc now gets updated with each dataset refresh. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Resource scheduler custom time scales - when used in combination with he 2023.1 platform, custom time scales can be configured as hours/15 minutes. Editable grid key up/down - this will allow the user to use key up or down to navigate the cells in a default editable grid. Task and report tiles - much like detail tiles components that show tasks or reports as large tiles OAuth login process flow action support - a process flow action can request the user to log in to an external party to obtain an OAuth token for the remaining process flow.
December 29, 2022Changed beta release to the full version: 2023.1.10.0. Improvement for issues found in the previous beta release: When selecting a non-alphanumeric column to provide the tooltip of an activity, the scheduler could crash. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we added support for the Thinkwise Platform release 2023.1,for example, for a number of new process actions, and a custum label for markers in the Maps component.In addition, Model insight is now available from the profile menu, which makes it easier to use this tool.A visual change is that the same scrollbar is now used throughout the entire applicationAs always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

This is available in the 2023.1 platform release.In the menu User interface > Maps, you first must select the Use custom label column checkbox.Then, select the Label column you wish to use as a label for the marker.If the custom label is empty, no label will be shown.Support for the 'DisableZoomIn' extended propertyThe Universal GUI now listens to the DisableZoomIn extended property.See Extended properties https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/extended_properties for more information on extended properties.Support for dynamic input constraintsThe Universal GUI supports the dynamic input constraints which are available in the 2023.1 platform release.If you choose timing Immediate, it will be processed as On change. Immediate will be supported later on.Tooltip from translation in grid headersWhen hovering over a grid header, we will now show its tooltip if it is set in the Software Factory (menu User interface > Translations).The tooltip text provided is allowed to contain HTML to, for example, make text bold or cursive.Support for editors in a form/task/report and tooltip buttons will follow later on.Improved user settingsPreviously, user settings were indexed on the application ID, which meant that you would lose information likesplitter distances, the active resource scheduler view, and grid column sizes when a new application was created.Now, the user settings are indexed on alias, which is much less likely to change.We advise you to set an application alias (in IAM, menu Authorization > Applications > tab Form > field Application alias).This means your users will lose their settings only when installing this version and when the application alias changes.ChangedSupport for formalized SchedulerIn the new Thinkwise Platform release (version 2023.1), the Scheduler has been made a formal part of the Software Factory.It is available in the menu User interface > Schedulers.Universal GUI supports the formalized Scheduler, which means that in the future custom timescales will become available.At the moment, only the previous (heuristic) timescales will be available and can be configured limitedly.The same scrollbar in the entire applicationDue to a lack of updates and crashes from the third-party component we used for our scrollbars, we have decided to remove that component entirely.This means that all scrollbars are now similar to the scrollbars in the grid.Changed and fixed in Model insightWith the Model insight feature for developers, you can find which column, table, or variant you have selected in the Universal GUI.It also helps to debug breakpoint problems in your screen type.Model insight used to be only available if "debugMode": true was added to the config.json file.This is no longer necessary. Now, developers can open and close Model insight from the profile menu if they have been configured as a developer in IAM.Model insight available from the profile menuWe also fixed two problems.The first is that Model insight would reopen after it had been closed and a new subject was opened. This has been fixed.It will now only reopen when reopened from the menu.The other problem was that the screen type breakpoint information used to have a high probability of overlapping important contentsince it appeared in the top right of the subject.It is now placed at the bottom left instead.Breakpoint information at the bottom leftMinor fixes and tasks A sorted combo now shows all options in the grid, like a normal combo. In some cases, a default editable grid would become read-only: If there was an auto-refresh, and the user changed a field. If the user clicked save in the toolbar. If the user started a task. When the user tried to delete a row that was not allowed to be deleted. All these cases have been fixed now. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Double click to execute a task from the: Scheduler Cardlist Tree Playing a sound when triggering a messageIssues:5033S - Process flow only gets started after click task button twice 5034S - Table (variant) immediately goes out of edit mode 5065S - Checkbox fields labels are cut short 5108S - Field nr positions further is showing strange behavior 85982 - Shortcut task doesn't respond
December 9, 2022Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.17.0. Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: We fixed an issue where the application kept loading after being offline for a while and coming online again. This was introduced in the 2022.2.17-b1 release. We fixed a bug where multiple HTML fields on one screen kept loading. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added some new features and fixed some problems. Some highlights are: deep links to process flows, display a route over the edge of a map in the Maps component, and the redesign of the HTML editor.These release notes contain a complete overview of all new features, changes, and fixes.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.

Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium Universal.Download the Universal GUI version 2022.2.17 here ContentsUniversal GUI version 2022.2.17.0 New Deep link to process flow Draw a route over the edge of a map HTML editor redesigned Changes in grid multiselect functionality Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint New Deep link to process flowWe have implemented deep linking to process flows. This allows sending links into the application by, for instance, email. To use deep linking, the URL should end with:`https://[server]/#application=[application_alias or id]/processflow=[process_flow_id]?[process_parameter1]=[value1]&[process_parameter#]=[value#]`Examplehttps://universal.mycompany.com/#application=myapp/processflow=startdocument?record_id=2ResultThe Universal GUI will open the application with alias myapp, start process flow startdocument, and set the process flow parameter record_id to 2.The application variable in the URL can be an application alias or an application id. Draw a route over the edge of a mapThe edges of the Maps component are now extended by 180 degrees. This makes it possible to display a route over the edge of the map. Before, it was hard to show a route like this.The longitude degrees in the route data have to be entirely positive or negative to keep the route together and may go over the limit of -180 or 180 degrees.Related fix: A marker popup located at the edge of the map was previously cut off. To solve this, we made the map wider to give room for the popup at the edges.A route across the entire map Cross a maps edge HTML editor redesignedWe have redesigned the HTML editor. This opens the door to features that will be implemented later, such as inserting tables. All the functionality of the existing HTML editor remains available.The new HTML editor already includes one new feature: you can now paste images into the HTML editor.Redesigned HTML editor Changes in grid multiselect functionalityUntil this release, when using Ctrl+Shift+click to select multiple records in a grid, the target row would be set as the new active row. This is no longer the case.In addition, when there are multiple selected rows, Ctrl+click on the active row will deselect the row and then activate the first selected row in the grid. Minor fixes and tasksAfter pasting text into an HTML field, the cursor moved to the beginning of the text instead right after the pasted text. This has been fixed. When the lookup content was too long, we used to cut it off with dots. This could make it hard to select the correct item if more items started with the same name and the end was not visible. Now, the lookup list scales with the text size so the entire name is visible. We have fixed three crashes that could occur while using touch multi-select in the grid. Images were not shown in the preview component when the extension was uppercase. This has been fixed. As of the 2022.2.15.0 release, the data value of a lookup column was shortly shown before the display value was loaded. This is fixed by showing nothing until the display value becomes available, like before. The lookup control search could not deal with special characters. This has been fixed. Manual refresh did not work in cubes if you changed the cube data in another tab. This has been fixed. In the default editable grid, previously visited records were not always visually updated. The hover style would be applied to grid rows that were no longer underneath the cursor. This has been corrected. In some cases, the splitter overlapped other components in compact mode. This could cause problems with, for example, moving the grid's scrollbar. This has been fixed. Before, when a user had no applications, no error was shown while logging in with OpenID. They could even keep redirecting between the GUIs login procedure and Indicium's OpenID pages. This has been fixed. Now, a user gets a "No applications available" message on the login page. We fixed a bug where no error message was shown or only briefly on the login page using OpenID. This would occur when logging in with: wrong credentials. a non-existing application. an unsupported platform. We fixed an issue where the application kept loading after being offline for a while and coming online again. This was introduced in the 2022.2.17-b1 release. We fixed a bug where multiple HTML fields on one screen kept loading. What we will be working on next sprint The next sprint we will be working on:Technical research: domain input validation - As of Software Factory version 2023.1, you can add domain input constraints. Where possible, the Universal GUI wants to validate those constraints in the client. Resource scheduler: timescales and custom timescales - The Software Factory version 2023.1 contains a formalized Scheduler component. Based on the new model, the Resource scheduler can have an hour view. Translation tooltips in form controls labels - The Universal GUI will implement the Software Factory's tooltip field for the form control labels. Process action: Open link - A process action that allows the Universal GUI to open a link. Process action: Close all documents - This process action allows the Universal GUI to close all the currently open documents. Maps display column - When configured, the Maps component will use the map display column instead of the lookup translation.Issues:5035S - Autosave/default editable detail tab falls out of edit mode and becomes read-only. 3453S - Disable zoom detail function not working. 3464S - Lookup control Combo (sorted) not showing all options on Grid.
November 18, 2022Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.16.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: Now, tasks remain enabled on auto-saving a subject. This went wrong if the subject's toolbar is separated from the main toolbar. Hello everyone,As of this release, we display the translation of domain elements for look-up display columns. We also fixed some issues.In these release notes, you will find a full overview of these main features and all minor features and tasks.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress. Universal GUI version 2022.2.16.0Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Using the Universal GUI with IE is not supported. The Universal GUI must be deployed on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in appsettings.json. The Universal GUI only works with version 2021.1 and up of the Thinkwise Platform. Make sure you run all hotfixes on the IAM and SF that you plan to use for the Universal GUI. Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium Universal.Download the Universal GUI version 2022.2.16.0 here New Show translation of domain elements for look-up display columnsFor a look-up display column that is based on domain elements, the Universal GUI now shows the translation of the matching domain element, if any. Other fixes and tasksWhen switching between rows in a grid, the details of the previous record were displayed for a few seconds, and then the correct details. In most cases, this has been fixed. Some cases will be fixed later. As of this version, when the grid is loading, it will show the text "Loading" and then the correct details. In a grid, selecting multiple records by pressing Shift + click was not possible in some cases. This has been fixed. When selecting or clearing a checkbox in a default editable grid, there was a slight delay before this change was visible because the record was changed first. This delay was enhanced when the user had a slow internet connection. In the new version, the checkboxes react immediately when clicked, regardless of the current network speed. Please note that in some cases, the checkbox jumps back to its previous value for a short time. We are working on an improvement for this. After selecting a checkbox in a default editable grid, the scrolling would sometimes move automatically, especially after scrolling down from the newly edited record and then selecting a checkbox in another row. This has been fixed. The column width in a grid was sometimes incorrectly changed, causing the grid to collapse. This has been fixed. After performing some user actions in a grid, such as editing and saving a record without making any changes, not all CSS styling was applied to the active row. This has been fixed. Now, tasks remain enabled when auto-saving a subject. This went wrong if the subject's toolbar is separated from the main toolbar. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:New HTML editor control, which allows for the implementation of new features Implement formal resource scheduler views of 2023.1 platform - Instead of heuristic assumptions the Scheduler will get a formal API. Rich tooltips on grid headers - Implement the tooltip field of a translation from the Software Factory for the grid headers. Deep link to process flow - Final implementation of deep linking to process flow actions. Action bar positioning above subject, not details - Change the position of the toolbar so it only spans the main subject.
October 28, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.15.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: Due to changes in the previous beta release, in some cases opening a dropdown control could result in an error. In our case, the lookup presentation field was optional. This has been fixed. Now, if there is no value to display, the Universal GUI displays the database value. In some cases, charts did not load their data. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made some improvements in the Scheduler and the Maps components. Also, we added a URL to include with TCP tickets, and you can now select all current page records in a grid with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A.In these release notes you will find a full overview of these main features and all minor features and tasks.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

With input parameters, you can now specify the date and time to scroll to. Select all current page records with the shortcut Ctrl+AWhen the focus is on a grid, you can now press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A to select all records currently displayed. With multiple pages, all records on a single page are selected.Added URL to include with TCP ticketsWhen an error occurs in a Universal application, the error message now contains a URL that you can include when reporting this issue as a TCP ticket. This URL makes it easier for Thinkwise to find and solve the reported problem. Error message with URL ChangedMaps component improvementsIn the Maps component, when using a marker of type Circle, you can now set the circle size, as follows. The default value for radius is 200 pixels.{ "CoordSets": [ [ { "Lon": "10.865400", "Lat": "55.565922" } ] ], "Radius": 120}Other fixes and tasks In this sprint, we fixed some scenarios where a process flow could become unresponsive without any possible user intervention to continue and finish. For example: An unknown process action within a process flow. Recovery when Indicium returns an error after being called. A process action targeting an unknown object, for example, a hidden detail tab or detail tile. The following user actions resulted in unwanted auto-adjusted column widths. This has been fixed. Resizing empty header columns in a grid. Clicking on a column with attribute grouping on it. Switching documents. Opening row groups. When executing a task that uploaded a large file, crashes and bad network requests could occur. This has been fixed. When searching for an item in a lookup dropdown by typing, items were also matched by their underlying data value, which was unwanted. Now, items are only matched by the value shown on the screen. In the Software Factory, you can configure the filter condition (type) of a field displayed in the filter form. However, in some situations, the filter conditions chosen are not supported. For example, a lookup field filtering with Contains did not behave as expected. Unsupported configured filter conditions will now be replaced internally with Equal to. The Refresh functionality changed in the 2022.2.14 release did not work as expected in a default editable grid. When refreshing a record after an edit, the old values were restored. This has been fixed. In a default editable subject, when typing in a combined filter, pausing, and then continuing typing, the focus moved to the top visible row, causing you to continue typing there. This has been fixed. In some scenarios, a grid would blink when saving an edited record. This has been fixed. The overall grid performance has also been improved. When filtering or pre-filtering process actions, the data was refreshed too often. This has been fixed. These process actions now wait until the data is refreshed in the client before the process flow continues. Known issues in this releaseThese two issues are planned for the next sprint.In default edit mode, when changes are saved or canceled manually without leaving the record, in some cases the subject jumps out of edit mode. In default edit mode, when a record contains an error after a refresh, for example, a mandatory field without a value, in some cases you cannot cancel the changes.What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Deep link to process flow - Final implementation of deep linking to process flow actions. History browsing (stage 1) - Enable history browsing for the main subject. You can then use the next and previous buttons in a web browser to open the previously opened subject. Implement new HTML Component - Add the new HTML component to Universal instead of the existing control.
October 7, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.14.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: When double-clicking a row in a grid to execute a task, the task was executed before applying the context application logic. This has been fixed. This is especially important when double-clicking an unselected record to determine whether or not task execution is allowed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made it possible to add or copy a row in a pinned top row of a grid, and we slightly changed the refresh functionality. Also, we started with a UI/UX design for advanced filters.In these release notes you will find a full overview of these main features and all minor features and tasks.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

You can now also use input parameters to change the zoom level and navigate to a specific location on the map.UI/UX design for advanced filtersTo help you get an overview of what is coming up in the Universal GUI, we will, from now on, include new component designs in the release notes. In this sprint, we dived into the advanced filters.According to our design, it becomes possible to set up your own specific set of filter criteria and filter with different filter operators (such as 'Starts with', 'Between', or 'Is not empty'). You can open the advanced filter popup using a button in the filter bar's overflow menu or a shortcut key.My customers advanced filterAfter this action, a popup opens, in which a user can add or remove filter criteria. In the Software Factory, you can specify a filter configuration for a subject, and add filter criteria. These criteria, if any, are then displayed in the filter popup in the application, and can be changed.Example of an advanced filter Other fixes and tasksIn some languages, the toolbar label would overlap the toolbar's action buttons. This has been fixed. When quickly changing the sorting order of multiple columns in a grid, some columns could incorrectly change position. This has been fixed. When counting the number of records in a grid summary row, the result was not displayed, only the label. This has been fixed. If the Show label option was disabled for a grouped tree, the label was still displayed. This has been fixed. In process flows, specific process actions did not provide active record information to Indicium, preventing the process flow from using this information. This has been fixed. In a card list, the labels did not get the specific card list translation but the general translation. This has been fixed when connected to the Software Factory. This issue has not yet been fixed when connected to IAM. A software Factory hotfix will be available in the near future to solve this. On a mobile device, when switching to edit mode, the size of detail tiles could change, resulting in the tiles changing position. This has been fixed. When a grid or form was open while a process flow was active, the flow waited for a tab change before continuing. However, a tab change did not always happen, causing the flow to stop and remain active. This has been fixed. In a conditional layout, for fields that had both a conditional background color and a text color defined, only the conditional background color was applied. This has been fixed. When switching between rows with multiple views of a cube displayed simultaneously, inactive cube views did not refresh. This has been fixed. Some specific screen type configurations could cause misalignment between vertical and horizontal tab strips. The horizontal tab strip would then be displayed in an undesirable location on the screen and become unusable. This has been fixed.Known issues in this releaseThe Refresh functionality changed in the beta release does not work as expected in a default editable grid.

September 16, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.13.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: In a grid, when the Edit in grid option was disabled, it was still possible to edit if the corresponding form was also available. This has been fixed. In a subject with the Auto-save option enabled, it was not possible to execute a task or open a report after making changes in edit mode. This has been fixed. The row is now saved, and the task is executed, or the report is opened. Hello everyone,As of this sprint, the resource scheduler remembers the selected timescale. Also, performance has been improved, and you can now apply a filter by pressing [Enter] when focused on a field.In these release notes you will find a full overview of these main features and all minor features and tasks.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

Please upgrade to at least Software Factory release 2021.1 to use this Universal GUI 2022.2.13 release.NewResource scheduler remembers the selected timescaleThe resource scheduler now remembers the timescale the user selected: When reopening the scheduler window, the last timescale chosen is displayed. This preference is saved in the browser (for example, Google Chrome on your device) but is not persisted across browsers or devices.Formlist with Combo and Image Combo elementsThe Formlist component now supports Combo and Image Combo controls, using domain elements (as items to choose).ChangedPerformance improved when first opening a subjectWhen opening a subject for the first time in a session, the performance has been improved by loading the subjects' model data in parallel. As background information: A session starts when opening the Universal GUI. This session ends when refreshing or closing the Universal GUI browser tab.Default editable grid performance improvedTo improve the performance of the default editable grid, we changed the way it works. Previously, the Universal GUI was locked until the active row was saved and error-free. This made switching between rows very slow because committing the previous record and then setting the new row in edit mode was a sequence of actions.As of this version, a user can start editing the next row while the previously edited row(s) are still waiting for the commit. If an error occurs in a previous row, the user receives a message and visual help about it but can continue to edit the row they are working on and fix the error later.Filters applied with the 'Enter' key in a Filter componentIn a filter component, you can now apply a filter by pressing [Enter] when focused on a field. Previously, the filter would only apply after removing focus from the field ([Tab]).Minor fixes and tasks For a grid with a row group, double-clicking a row group header would also incorrectly execute the double-click task assigned to a selected record within the group. This has been fixed. Importing records into a detail subject or lookup subject from Excel failed because the data was tried to be imported into the main subject. This has been fixed. When editing in a default editable grid and selecting another record, the grid could scroll unnecessarily. This could result in the edited record not being visible in the current view. This has been fixed. When executing a task on multiple records, the execution order was sometimes incorrect compared to the order in which the records were displayed. This has been fixed. In charts, translated domain elements were not shown. This has been fixed. We fixed a bug where the splitter content width exceeded its limits. Before this release, this could, for example, result in action bar buttons not appearing on the screen: Incorrect action bar buttonsThis has been fixed: Correct action bar buttonsWhat we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Technical research: Deep link to process flow - A deep link to a process flow allows the developer to create links that can be sent via email or otherwise. These links start the Universal GUI and then a process flow. In the technical research, we design the underlying functionality. Activate maps process flow action - This process flow action allows you to activate the Maps component for the user, similar to the Activate grid and Activate form process actions. Activate scheduler process flow action - This process flow action allows you to activate the Scheduler component for the user, similar to the Activate grid and Activate form process actions. Add row in grid - The ability to add a row directly in a pinned top row of a grid. Refresh row functionality - The refresh row option will be supported for tasks and after inserting, updating, or copying a record. UI/UX design for advanced filter popup - The advanced filter option will be available as a popup to all users and offers more complex options than the current filter form. This functionality will become the basis for the user-defined prefilters.
August 26, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.12.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: In the Preview component, images that were too large for the available space were not displayed. In the Preview component, TXT and JSON files were not displayed. Both issues have been fixed. Hello everyone,As of this sprint, passwords will no longer be shown in plain text in the GUI. Instead, we have added a visibility icon to the PASSWORD control. We have also added a change detector to the Preview component and improved the way incoming process flows work.In these release notes you will find a full overview of these main features and all minor features and tasks.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

A user can now use the 'visibility' icon to hide the password from view or display it in plain text. The PASSWORD control is set for a column at the domain level. It is available in grid, form, and card list components.When a password field is non-editable or read-only, the visibility icon is hidden, and the number of characters is set to 8 instead of revealing the password length.CautionPasswords are not sent or stored encrypted, so this feature only protects against being displayed in plain text.A user can display or hide their password Version recorded in IAMAfter loading the application, the used Universal GUI version will now be recorded in IAM. Changed Smart remote file change detection for preview componentThe Preview component will now check whether the previewed file has been changed remotely. A check occurs when a user manually refreshes the document or the subject's data is updated due to another cause. If the content of a previewed file has been changed remotely, it will be reloaded.This is only available for File type preview columns. URL type columns will show the content from the given web address as is. Incoming process flow allowedIf a process flow was running and a new flow came in for the same subject, the Universal GUI used to ignore the incoming flow. From now on, it will stop the running flow and start the incoming flow.This change also fixes that a new process flow could not start when another process flow got stuck due to an action that was unable to execute. In the next sprint, we will continue our work on preventing stuck process flows. Minor fixes and tasksIn a Maps component with markers and popups, when you moved the position of the map and changed it to a different record, the map would not center correctly on the marker. This has been fixed. The process flow was not started when using a process flow to set filters in combination with the Start empty with filter setting. This has been fixed. When clicking on a field in a default editable grid, it did not get the focus. You had to click it again to start editing. Universal GUI will now put the focus on the field you actually clicked. One limitation: a cursor_to_col will always be performed in the form. When dragging events in the resource scheduler, sometimes duplicate events would be created. These were not stored in the database since they would be gone after closing and reopening the subject. This issue happened when auto-refresh had been enabled, and the user dragged an event during an auto-refresh. It has been fixed now. If the active record changed in the resource scheduler, the scheduler would jump to the current date. Now, the scrollbar will stay in the same position. We have improved the performance when switching to an already opened subject or an already opened detail tab. When expanding a cube row based on elements, the Universal GUI would give a bad request. This has been fixed. We have resolved an error shown in snack bar messages when navigating between records in a detail subject with another detail subject underneath. Because of this error, the lowest set would not refresh. We have resolved a crash that occurred after opening an application with a task as a start object. Known issues in this releaseSometimes, when a pivot is opened for the first time it shows no data and the text 'This pivot type is not supported'. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Add row in grid - The ability to add a row directly in the grid. Refresh row update strategy. Activate Maps and Scheduler components from a process flow Scheduler component remembers time scale selected by the user.
August 5, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.11.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: When selecting multiple records in a grid and then clicking a task button, only the active row was displayed as part of the selection. The task was still executed for all selected records, but this was unclear to users. This has been fixed. The selection remains visible until the task is executed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made it possible to resize grid columns, and when opening the scheduler component, the displayed period now starts from the previous month instead of the current day.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here.

If you wanted to view the previous week, you had to navigate back. This behavior was not desired. As of this version, when opening the scheduler component, the displayed period starts from the previous month.Minor fixes and tasksIn certain time zones (for example, GMT-12), when choosing a date using the date picker icon, for example, July 28th, an incorrect date value (July 27th) was used. This has been fixed. In default edit mode, when a user did not modify the record, they had to cancel edit mode before executing a task or report. This has been fixed. Now, when executing a task or report, edit mode is automatically canceled if the user has not modified the record. After adding or copying a record, the edit, delete, and copy buttons were available too early. This would result in a "bad request" message when quickly trying to perform any of these actions after adding or copying. These three buttons are now disabled until they can be used. When executing a task containing a file upload, the application could stop responding. This has been fixed. When a parent grid was in edit mode, it was incorrectly allowed to switch between rows in a child subject. When a child subject was in edit mode, it was also incorrectly allowed to switch rows in the parent grid. This has been fixed. In both cases, switching between rows is no longer allowed. Loading lookup translations used to fail if there were 800 or more filter conditions. This situation could occur, for example, if there were 800 rows with only one primary key or 400 records with two primary keys. This has been fixed by splitting the lookup translations into multiple requests if there are many filter conditions.What we will be working on next sprintIn the next sprint, we will be working on: Ensure that a new process flow always starts. This prevents the user from getting stuck in an old process flow. Asynchronous editing in grids. New Password control. Research performance rendering nested details. In progress: Drag and drop records UI/UX.
July 15, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.2.10.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: In grids, the left and right arrow keys to switch between cells and the up and down arrow keys to switch between rows did not work. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, among other things, we completed support for the Download file process action, and users can see the date and time in their local time zone. Furthermore, we now support vertical tabs, and we have improved the styling of read-only controls.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress.Universal GUI version 2022.2.10.0Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile. Using the Universal GUI with IE is not supported. The Universal GUI must be deployed on the same server as Indicium or an allowed origin in appsettings.json. The Universal GUI only works with version 2019.2 and up of the Thinkwise Platform. Make sure you run all hotfixes on the IAM and SF that you plan to use for the Universal GUI. Make sure you are using the latest version of Indicium Universal.Download the Universal GUI version 2022.2.10.0 here Contents of this releaseUniversal GUI version 2022.2.10.0 New Thinkwise Platform release 2022.2 support Subject variants support Process flow action: download file Process flow action: send user notification Display the date and time in the time zone of a user Vertical tabs Changed Improved styling of read-only controls Start empty with filter functionality Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprintNewThinkwise Platform release 2022.2 supportWe are currently working on support for:Activate Maps process action. Activate Scheduler process action. Play a sound after a message popups up.We have already completed support for:Subject variants (see below). Process flow action: download file (see below). Process flow action: send user notification (see below). Display the date and time in the time zone of a user (see below).Subject variants supportAs of Thinkwise Platform version 2022.2, Indicium can handle subject variants and variant-specific settings from the Software Factory. For example:Provide default values while editing. Apply the correct set of prefilters. Apply process flow rights. Use the correct set of columns in a combined filter.The current Universal GUI 2022.2.10.0 release informs Indicium which subject variant is involved in a user action. This makes the Universal GUI release dependent on the 2022.2.10 release of Indicium:If you install this Universal 2022.2.10.0 release, you must also install the Indicium 2022.2.10 release.Process flow action: download fileAs of Thinkwise Platform release 2022.2, the Universal GUI supports the new Download file process flow action.You can set process variables and use them in the input parameters to make a file available for download to the end-user. The file can originate, for example, from a database, or from file storage using a Read file connector, or it can be the result of a Generate report connector.Process flow action: send user notificationAs of Thinkwise Platform version 2022.2, a user can send a notification message to a specific user from a process flow. The Universal GUI receives this notification after the next request to Indicium and displays this notification as a snack bar message at the bottom of the screen.Display the date and time in the time zone of a userAs of Thinkwise Platform version 2022.2, a user will be able to see the date and time in their local time zone. The Universal GUI will support this.You can enable the local time zone for users in a control. When you select a control for a domain that shows a DateTime value, you can choose whether it should display the time for the user's current time zone or as stored in the database (Software Factory > menu Data > Domains > tab Form).The time zone for a new user will be set to Etc/UTC by default but can be changed in IAM, in menu Authorization > Users > tab Form > tab User > group User preferences > field Time zone.Vertical tabsThe Universal GUI now supports a new type of tabs called vertical tabs. This gives a new look to your screen types and looks like a small submenu within the related subject. The list of tabs that would by default appear horizontally side by side can now be displayed stacked on top of each other.To convert a (horizontal) tab panel in the Tab container component of a screen type to a vertical tab panel, change the Tab orientation property in the screen type modeler in the Software Factory to Vertical:(menu User interface > Screen types > tab Design. The Tab page properties are on the right-hand side.) Tab orientation property in the screen type modeler Horizontal tabs example Vertical tabs exampleKnown issue: If a vertical tab label is too long and cut off by ellipsis (...), a badge behind it, as shown in the EMAILS tab in the screenshot, will not be displayed.ChangedImproved styling of read-only controlsWe improved the styling of read-only controls: In a form, a control's background color can be affected by a Conditional layout. If no conditional text color is specified, the displayed value now has a contrasting color. The control label already behaves like this. When the control is disabled, the opacity of the contrast color is reduced so the value appears slightly gray. On a form component in edit mode, read-only fields were not consistently grayed out, making them appear editable. That has been corrected, so all read-only fields look the same now. Name field before Name field afterStart empty with filter functionalityThe existing Start empty with filter option specifies that subjects are opened without data, and the filter pop-up is activated automatically. This configuration option was applied to main subjects and detail subjects. However, this functionality is unnecessary for detail subjects, as a detail already shows a limited list of records. As of this version, the Start empty with filter option will only be applied to the main subject.Minor fixes and tasksWhen adding a record in a non-editable grid, with Form and detail subjects on a separate tab, the Form tab was activated and incorrect detail data were displayed in some cases. This has been fixed.What we will be working on next sprintIn the next sprint, we will be working on: Asynchronous editing in a grid - To improve grid edit mode performance, we plan to have multiple records in edit mode behind the scenes. This allows the user to proceed while records are being saved in the background. Resizable grid columns - Users can resize the grid column width. Formlist domain control - Implementation of the domain control in the Formlist. Password control In progress: Drag and drop records UI/UX. Add row in grid.
June 24, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.1.17.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: In right-aligned grid column headers, the asterisk indicating a mandatory field was not visible. This has been fixed. In a grid, group headers were cut off, even if there was enough space. This has been fixed. In a grid, centered column headers jumped to the left when entering edit mode. This has been fixed. When opening a detail tab or switching between parent rows, badges on detail tabs did not refresh instantly but only after the interval period. This has been fixed. When sending an OData request to Indicium, including a primary key value with a date and time, a bad request error occurred. This especially happened when (re)activating a record or saving a newly inserted record that was not in the current set of (pre)filters. This has been fixed. Known issues in this release: During testing, we found that the default editable grid can still behave incorrectly in a detail subject when the entire document is refreshed after changing a record. After changing some values and clicking the next record (which saves the changes), the clicked record may not be activated. We will plan for improvements in this case later. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we reduced the row height in grids, made grids less flickering while editing, show the numeric keypad on tablets when editing a numeric field, and when adding or editing a row, a document is now marked as 'unsaved'.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress.Universal GUI version 2022.1.17.0 Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

If the user closes this document, they will be prompted to save or cancel the changes.Display the numeric keypad on tabletsOn tablets, the numeric keypad was not visible when editing a numeric field. Now it is.Row height in grids and pivot grids reducedIn compact mode, the row height in grids is reduced from 44px to 36px.The same applies to pivot grids in compact mode and comfortable mode.Supported conditional layout conditionsIn the Universal GUI, the following conditional layout conditions can now also be used:Starts with Does not start with Ends with Does not end with.Third-party library needed for grids upgradedWe upgraded the third-party library needed for grid functionality. This has improved grid performance, made the default editable grid more stable, and made grids less flickering while editing,Also, with this upgrade, the following warning no longer appears in the DevTools Console:"agGrid: getSortModel() is deprecated." Minor fixes and tasks We have fixed many grid alignment issues: The alignment in edit mode versus non-edit mode was different in many cases. This caused the position of fields to change between edit mode and non-edit mode, especially for Combo control values. Right-aligned column headers were left-aligned. Individual cells were not aligned identically with the summary cell. For read-only date, time, and datetime fields in edit mode, the buttons to open a date/time picker were visible while they should be hidden. This has been corrected. When a user was executing a task while a process flow was running, they could get stuck in the running process flow, or spend time filling in task parameters for a task that was not allowed for the selected record. This has been fixed. The task execution now waits for running logic (for example, a stored procedure) to know whether the task execution is allowed or not. When a context procedure was applied when double-clicking a row in a grid, the grid double-click task should wait for the context application logic. However, this was not the case and has been fixed. This is especially important when double-clicking a record that is not selected to decide whether to allow task execution. When opening a subject, the action bar did not always immediately contain the correct buttons, only after switching rows. This has been fixed. In a document that contains unrelated details (for example, two tables with no explicit reference or link to each other), executing a task would refresh the document based on the configurations defined in the Software Factory, except for the unrelated details. Each unrelated detail had to be refreshed manually to reflect the changes. This has been fixed. The whole document is now refreshed when necessary and will show the updated version of each detail. Start objects with a badge did not initially display this badge, only when opened a second time. This has been fixed. When opening a lookup popup a second time, the grid detail tab was opened instead of the form. This has been fixed. When opening a document in one project version from the tiles menu and switching to another project version, the currently open document was reactivated. This has been fixed. Now a new document opens in the correct project version. On tablets, when editing multiple records, the (numeric) values entered for a previous record could temporarily reappear in a later edited record if the same numeric field was empty. This has been fixed. What we will be working on next sprintIn the next sprint, we will be working on: DateTime controls with time zone - This allows DateTime values to always be stored in UTC+0 and displayed to the user in the time zone configured for that user. This will only work in Software Factory platform 2022.2. Vertical tabs - Align your tabs vertically. Variant API - Variants are now more specific in the Indicium API and the Universal GUI will implement this. This will only work in Software Factory platform 2022.2. Make process flow execution more stable - Prevent a process flow from staying active if the user cannot continue the desired steps. Such process flows blocked the execution of subsequent process flows. In progress: Technical research add row in grid.
June 3, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.1.16.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: When a record was edited by a process flow and the subject was closed at the same time, an error message appeared unnecessarily: "Request error: The object was not found. You may have insufficient rights or the object no longer exists" This has been fixed. In the beta release, we improved the style of the task buttons in the toolbar. As a result, the toolbar was not always the correct size, and the task buttons could continuously change size while editing the subject or executing a task. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we fixed several issues, and we added two configuration settings to config.json. When searching on a tablet or touchscreen, these settings prevent that after each keystroke, search results are updated immediately. Furthermore, toolbar buttons have been slightly enlarged.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress.Universal GUI version 2022.1.16.0Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

This is called the debounce time. The default value of this debounce time is considered too short when typing on a tablet or touchscreen, resulting in search results being updated after each keystroke.Therefore, this debounce time can now be configured in the config.json file. Also, the default debounce time has been doubled for mobile devices, as typing on a touch keyboard is much slower.New settings for config.json are:searchDebounceTime - in ms, with a default value of 300 ms and a minimum value of 300 ms. searchDebounceTimeMobile - in ms, with a default value of 600 ms and a minimum value of 300 ms.Enlarged toolbar buttonsToolbar buttons with both an icon and text appeared too close together. They are now slightly enlarged, and there is more space between them. Also, the color has been changed for clarity when hovering.Resized toolbar buttonsMinor fixes and tasksIf a task start object or report start object was not included in the menu, it would not open at startup. This has been fixed. When leaving a field with a default setting to fill another field, the default value was filled in correctly, but the default value was not selected. Instead, the mouse cursor was placed right after the default value. This has been fixed. When tabbing through an editable grid, the dropdown lists of combo boxes could not be opened with a keyboard shortcut. This has been fixed. When zooming in on a screen until the menu on the left-hand side was hidden and then zooming out again, the menu remained hidden. This has been fixed. When adding a new parent record, incorrect child records were shown in the detail tab in some cases. This has been fixed. Now, when adding a parent record, only unrelated details will be displayed. In some cases, when opening a subject with a default editable grid, the application could stop responding with a message: "Cannot read "allowUpdate" of undefined". This could especially occur when two or more grids were loaded and displayed at the same time. This has been fixed. What we will be working on next sprintIn the next sprint, we will mainly focus on fixing known issues. Furthermore, we will be working on:DateTime controls with time zone - This allows DateTime values to always be stored in UTC+0 and displayed to the user in the time zone configured for that user. This will only work in Software Factory platform 2022.2. Grid edit mode flashing - To reduce this, we need to upgrade a third-party library. Technical design for asynchronous editing in a grid - To improve the performance of the grid edit mode, we plan to have multiple records in edit mode behind the scenes. This allows the user to continue while the records are saved in the background. In this sprint, we will start with a design. In progress: Variant API - This will only work in Software Factory platform 2022.2. UI/UX Drag and drop. UI/UX Design Vertical tabs.
May 13, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.1.15.0 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: In a specific case, when a subject was opened from a process flow step and this process flow activated a filter simultaneously while loading, parts of the subject appeared empty, or showed unrelated data. This has been fixed. In some components, for example, the Resource Scheduler and the Maps component, user interface styling was not applied correctly. This has been fixed. When opening (for example) the User Preferences menu while an auto-refresh screen was open, the application stopped responding. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made a number of changes and improvements and fixed some issues. One important change is that process flows are now disabled by default in a lookup popup or context. To enable process flows, you can use an extended property. You can read more about the other changes, improvements, and fixes in the topics below.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress.Universal GUI version 2022.1.15.0Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

Similar to our other interfaces, they now listen to the extended property AllowProcessFlowsInLookupDialogs. We will solve the known issues later on.Pivot grid improvements and changesIn this sprint, we have improved the pivot grid in several ways:The look and feel have been improved. When expanding a category (row), the total will be shown in the parent row. We have added nested series (columns) for all aggregation types. Previously, when a cube view had multiple series (columns) and the values were not of type 'SUM', the pivot would not start. We have added nested groups for all aggregation types. Previously, when a cube view had multiple categories (rows) and the values were not of type 'SUM', the pivot would not start.Another change is that nested series (columns) are always expanded in this release, though collapse and expand will be available again in a future release. Previously, if conditions were met, these were expandable and collapsible. The main reason for this is a necessary technical overhaul that will pave the way for future improvements:series (columns) subtotals series (columns) grand totals expand and collapse series (columns) category (row) grand totals default expanded series/categories. Improved look and feel in the pivot gridImproved performance: layout calculated based on model settingsPreviously, the Universal GUI would request Indicium to get the model's layout settings. Now, it can calculate the model layout settings itself, so the request to Indicium is no longer necessary.So, if you deselect the logic concept Layout in a subject's settings, the Universal GUI will now use the model settings instead of executing the layout's stored procedure. This setting is available in the menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default/Variants > tab Settings > tab Performance > group Use concept > checkbox Layout.This can slightly speed up the performance when switching a row, editing, and opening a screen.Improved (grid) performanceWe made several (grid) performance improvements. In the coming sprints we will continue to focus on more performance improvements.Tooltips more legiblePreviously, a tooltip appeared below an element when a user hovered over it. Sometimes this would cause the cursor to cover part of the text, making it partially unreadable. This has been fixed by changing the placement of the tooltip. Now it appears above an element when the user hovers over it.Minor fixes and tasksOn mobile devices, when selecting multiple rows in a grid, the checkbox to select all rows was horizontally not aligned with the checkboxes for the individual rows. This has been fixed. When typing a value in a filter field on a tablet, the extended touch keyboard pushed the filter component away from the screen and reverted the typed value. This has been fixed. Now the filter component in a document claims at least the height of a single control, so the filter fields always remain visible. Opening a lookup while no record was selected resulted in a Bad Request error. This has been fixed. If the preview component cannot generate a preview for a file, it now displays the message No preview is available. Fixes for file upload: Uploading a file in edit mode was only possible by clicking the icon, not the bar itself. This has been fixed. When you select a file in a form in edit mode, you can now click the upload control or press Enter to open the file selector and easily overwrite the previously selected file. The cursor now changes to a 'pointer' icon when you hover over the field, in both edit and read mode, since the text cannot be edited. When a user switched tabs in a resource scheduler component and returned to the first tab, the years and weeks were no longer displayed. This has been fixed, they remain visible now. A right-aligned control in an editable grid got too much padding at the left, so it got cut off at the right. This has been fixed. When saving an edited record in the grid with validation errors, the grid row height reserved some room for a validation error that did not come. As a result, some types of controls did not align properly. The height now remains the same. Auto-refresh would stop working after a record in its subject was edited. This has been fixed. After filtering the data set, the Change detection logic is now prevented from firing more often than required. We have fixed that a date value sometimes was not processed when directly executing a task after filling in a date. If the tiles menu is the default menu for an application, and the last open document was closed by a process flow, the Universal GUI showed an empty screen. It only contained the backplate and no tiles menu. This has been fixed, the tiles menu now is displayed as it is supposed to be. When switching fast between records and clicking edit, the wrong record would be edited. This has been fixed.What we will be working on next sprintIn the next sprint, we will mainly focus on fixing known issues. Furthermore, we will be working on:Pivot column subtotals - Subtotals on the columns and series of the pivot. Suggested GUI Action: Download file. (grid) performance research. In progress: UI/UX design for add row. UI/UX design for vertical tab pages.
April 22, 2022:Changed beta release to the full version: 2022.1.14 Improvements for issues found in the previous beta release: When opening one of some specific screens after opening another screen, the specific screen was correctly listed in the OPEN DOCUMENTS section, but it did not show any content. This has been fixed. Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made it possible to open multiple instances of the same subject by Ctrl-clicking the corresponding menu item. Double-clicking a detail tab opens a new document zooming in on the detail. Furthermore, we added two configuration settings to improve grid performance. And splitter positions are now retained after refreshing the Universal GUI.More new functionality and improvements are listed below.As always, we have made a demo for you: try it here. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen. You can read the GUI user manual to get familiar with the Universal GUI.We will keep you updated regularly about Universal's progress.Universal GUI version 2022.1.14Do not forget the documentation and be sure to keep the following in mind:A modern browser is required to access the Universal GUI, e.g., a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari mobile.

This does not apply to mobile devices as there is no double click functionality.Splitter positions retained after refreshing the Universal GUISplitter positions were retained after closing and reopening a subject but disappeared when refreshing the Universal GUI. As of this version, the splitter positions are also retained after a refresh.ChangedNew configuration settings for grid performanceWe have added two configuration settings to improve grid performance. These settings can be useful for applications running on mobile devices with low hardware specifications. Record changes and scrolling appear to be slow on such mobile devices. We added two config.json options: gridDisableRowSwitchDebounce and gridRowBuffer.gridDisableRowSwitchDebounce: true | false | mobile. Default = falseWhen set to true or mobile while working on a mobile device, the first record change will be processed immediately instead of waiting for the 300ms debounce timeout. Any subsequent record changes will still be debounced.gridRowBuffer: any number. Default = 10The gridRowBuffer property sets the number of rows the grid displays outside the visible area. The default is 10. For example, if a grid shows 30 rows (the number of rows that fits on your screen without scrolling), the grid will render 50 rows in total (10 extra rows before and 10 extra rows after). When scrolling, 10 rows can immediately be displayed, so the user will not see any redraw.Setting a low row buffer makes the initial loading of the grid faster (for example, when data is first loaded, or after filtering or grouping). Setting a high row buffer will reduce the visible vertical scrolling of the redraw.Overflow menu changesIn the overflow menu of the search and filter bar, when users are not allowed to filter, the Quick filter and Clear all filters options were read-only. This has changed. As of this version, these buttons are hidden. In addition, if a subject does not contain any prefilters, filters, or sorting, the overflow menu in the search and filter bar will be hidden.Minor fixes and tasksIn some cases, when a user opened a document containing a map component, no base layer was selected. Now a default base layer is selected. Cubes did not filter on values entered in a filter form field. This has been fixed. For look-ups with Def. control set to 'Combo (sorted)', the look-up control was still sorted alphabetically instead of according to the default sorting of the look-up subject. This happened in some cases if there were multiple sorting columns. When a user created a lookup value with an ID of '0', the lookup would only be visible in edit mode. The '0' would become invisible again when the user exits edit mode. This has been fixed. Deleting a record in a detail tab would sometimes change the parent's active record. This has been fixed. Recently we implemented task bars as a screen component. The task bar component is removed from the screen if it is directly below the default action bar. Otherwise, you would see two bars directly below each other. However, the task bar was not removed if it was on a tab. This has been fixed. If the task bar is elsewhere on the tab, its buttons will be correctly removed from the default action bar. In a specific case, some action bar buttons were displayed over the nearby task or report buttons, especially the Refresh and Delete buttons. This has been fixed. After dragging the cursor outside the browser window while moving a splitter, the application temporarily stopped responding. This has been fixed. In fields with the Image Combo domain, the images were not correctly colored when viewed (read) in dark mode. This has been fixed. If a chart showed a total number of objects and there were none, the tooltip would show Undefined instead of 0. This has been fixed. When opening a page with the Hide main action bar setting enabled and then reopening a page with this setting disabled, the action bar was still hidden. This has been fixed. When editing in a grid, numeric columns could not be left-aligned. This has been fixed. When adding a record in a detail subject, all data was intentionally refreshed, but a Bad Request error could also occur. This has been fixed. Look-ups based on an unauthorized look-up column did not refresh automatically. This has been fixed. Indicium now correctly instructs the Universal GUI to refresh the look-up column. In the previous version, the preview component did not support the file formats .txt, .xml, and .json. Now, these file formats are supported again. If a document was open and a process flow action Open document with input parameter open_doc_existing_yes would switch to this document, the process flow would not continue. This has been fixed. When a document was first opened, detail tiles were not visible in some cases. This has been fixed.
