Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have improved query generation when SQL prefilters are involved. We have also fixed an issue with requesting the scope of a custom resource of a client applicationYou can read more about Indicium's features in the Indicium user manual (Opens in new window or tab).We will keep you updated regularly about Indicium's progress.About IndiciumTwo types of the Thinkwise Indicium Application Tier are available: Indicium Basic: for use with the Windows GUI and Mobile GUI. This basic version does not support features such as system flows and OpenID. Indicium: for use with the Universal GUI and via APIs. This version uses the full range of Indicium functionality.Download Indicium release 2023.3.13 here (Opens in new window or tab).  ContentsAbout Indicium New and changed Improved query generation when SQL prefilters are involved Minor fixes and tasks Questions or suggestions? New and changed Improved query generation when SQL prefilters are involvedchangeQuery generation has been improved for situations where SQL prefilters are used. Previously, Indicium did not know which columns were used by the SQL expression, so when a sub-query was required, it would select all columns in the sub-query to satisfy the prefilter on the outer query.Now, it will only select the necessary columns. This makes these queries easier to read and, in the case of expression columns, will improve performance somewhat.This change only applies to platform version 2023.3. Minor fixes and tasks We have fixed an issue that would occur when requesting the scope of a custom resource of a client application (OpenID Client). Questions or suggestions? Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! (Opens in new window or tab)

Hello everyone,It has come to our attention that the chart component of the Universal GUI shows up as a trial version. This affects all Universal GUI versions up to 2023.3.12, used with applications that leverage the chart component.SymptomsWhile the application or the chart will not cease functioning in any way, a FusionCharts Trial indicator is visible to the end-user.Chart showing the trial indicator in the bottom-leftSolutionWe have remediated this problem immediately. You can update your Universal GUI to version 2023.3.12.1, which is available for download in TCP and the container repository.Updating to 2023.3.12.1 not possible?If you are still using an older version of the Universal GUI, you may not be ready or able to update to version 2023.3.12.1.This can be due to backwards compatibility restrictions with Indicium or your Thinkwise Platform model version.Please get in touch with your Thinkwise representative with your current Universal GUI version or submit a ticket in TCP and we will provide a hotfix version based on your current Universal GUI version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are investigating the root cause of this incident further, as the component license itself is in order.

Hello everyone,We have fixed an issue that was introduced in Indicium version 2023.3.12.0. This issue caused an error to occur when trying to send an email for two-factor authentication and password reset tokens. This issue has been resolved in Indicium version 2023.3.12.1, which is available for download in TCP.Our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

November 27, 2023Full release 2023.3.12 Fixed: The user no longer gets an error when logging in with an email address. Hello everyone,Some of the new features in this release are the added support for several cube features and the Calculator domain control. We have also further enhanced the functionality for filtering, the action bar, and the task bar.This release contains two breaking changes. 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 2023.3.12For 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 the appsettings.json file. The Universal GUI only works with version 2022.1 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 2023.3.12 here ContentsDemo Universal GUI version 2023.3.12 Breaking Support for Thinkwise Platform releases 2021.2 and 2021.3 has ended Moved config.json file New and changed Support for cube features Support for Calculator domain control Filtering further enhanced Select or deselect translation in export pop-up Scheduler sliding window HTML control in a grid Multiline control in a grid No more keyboard for lookup with combo control Data no longer reverted in a field with an input constraint Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? BreakingSupport for Thinkwise Platform releases 2021.2 and 2021.3 has endedIn accordance with our Lifecycle Policy, the Universal GUI support for Thinkwise Platform releases 2021.2 and 2021.3 has ended.UpgradeUpgrade to at least the Thinkwise Platform release 2022.1. Moved config.json filePreviously, a downloaded Universal GUI contained a preconfigured config.json file. However, this file could be easily overwritten if you replaced the GUI with a newer version. For this reason, we have removed the preconfigured config.json file and added an example version: config.sample.json.Check your configurationFor a new deployment, rename config.sample.json to config.json and add your preferred settings. You can find all the settings and their options at Configuration settings for the Universal GUI For existing deployments, you can keep your original config.json file. This change saves you a manual step or one in your CI/CD pipeline  New and changedSupport for cube featuresnewWe have added support for the screen component Pivot table fields. To display this component in the Universal GUI, select the checkbox Dragging fields in a cube (menu User interfaces > Subjects > tab Components > tab Cube). This feature allows users to modify a cube's series and categories and create a customized overview of the pivoted data.The setting Sort by cube field is supported, too (menu User interface > Business intelligence > tab Tables > tab Cube fields > tab Cube view fields > tab Form). The prerequisites for this setting to work are:The Cube field type is Value (menu User interface > Business intelligence > tab Tables > tab Cube fields > tab Form) And: the field is part of the cube view. A user cannot sort by values they cannot seeCube features support Support for Calculator domain controlnewThe Universal GUI now supports the Calculator domain control, allowing users to perform calculations using on-screen buttons or their keyboard. The decimal separator is automatically determined based on the user's region, using either a comma or period.The Calculator domain control in the Universal GUI​​​​ Filtering further enhancednew fixIn this release, we have further improved the Universal GUI's filtering capabilities.In the filter forms, we have expanded the support for filter conditions with the following operators:Is empty Is not Empty Does not contain Does not end with Does not start with Between Not betweenIn addition to this, the Universal GUI now supports filtering for the date, time, and datetime fields. You can use these filters in filter forms and quick filters (filtering on the selected grid cell).The advanced filter form (using filter expressions) has been introduced in the previous release, 2023.3.11.We have also fixed a problem with filters on a checkbox with 0, empty, or false values. The filter icon was not displayed on the grid column header in these cases. This issue occurred, for example, when using a quick filter on an empty checkbox, making it difficult to notice that a filter was active on this column. We have resolved this problem. Now, the filter icon will be visible in these cases. Select or deselect translation in export pop-upnewIn the export pop-up, when choosing which columns to export, a new option is available: Export headers and data translated and localized.For example, when exporting employee_id, the default behavior is that the connected name is passed. Now, if you deselect the new option, Indicium will export the raw data.A new option: Export headers and data translated and localization Scheduler sliding windowchangePreviously, when using the Scheduler with a sliding window and a top timescale set to years, the Scheduler would display only a part of the current month in the past. This potentially caused users to lose oversight of events that began earlier. To improve this, the Scheduler now starts a month in the past. HTML control in a gridnewThe HTML control now has an icon to open the popup in an editable grid. This is similar to the HTML control in the form. In the grid, a user can change the contents of the control only through the pop-up. Multiline control in a gridnewThe Universal GUI now supports editing multiline controls in grid edit mode. A user can edit these controls directly within the grid or open them in a popup for editing. The popup button is also available for a multiline control in the form.During grid editing, this button will also appear on the active record in the grid. It respects the setting Show action button found in the Software Factory menu: Data > Domains > tab Form > tab Domain. No more keyboard for lookup with combo controlchangePreviously, when opening a lookup with a Combo control on a mobile device, a keyboard would appear. Now, this behavior has been removed.If you prefer the previous behavior with the keyboard, you can enable it by adding the extended property disableKeyboardForAutoCompleteCombo: false to your config.json file.Note that if a lookup has a Default control with a suggestion (as configured in the menu User interface > Subjects > Settings), the behavior remains the same, and a keyboard will still open when accessing the lookup. A suggestion type control will display a maximum of 8 results based on the typed search criteria.You can base the choice between these options on user preference and the number of items expected in the (unfiltered) dropdown. Data no longer reverted in a field with an input constraintchangeIn a field with input constraints, the data entered would be reverted to a previous value if the input breached the constraints. This could potentially lead to a user saving incorrect data. To prevent this, we have removed this behavior. Now, saving is no longer possible if input constraints are breached. Minor fixes and tasksWe have improved the alignment of elements in the export wizard in Comfortable mode. We fixed an issue where, in specific cases like editing an autosave-enabled grid with a form component, the checkboxes' values in the active grid row would not be restored correctly after clicking cancel. Upon closing and reopening a default editable document, the document would no longer automatically enter edit mode. This has been fixed. We fixed an issue where the tree would incorrectly expand when Default Expanded is set to false. We resolved a problem where certain SVG icons in the tree and form were not displayed correctly. When updating a tree icon through a task, the icon failed to refresh, persisting with the original one. Now, the tree icon will correctly refresh. We have fixed an error that occurred when a task with a HTML parameter was opened from the tiles menu. On the current application page, clicking the application switcher would display nothing if the user lacked rights to other applications. This has been fixed. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:SQL/Code editor Grid grouping by dragging headers Chart user-defined legend position User preference screen type User preference detail show/order Excel style filter on domain controls Task progress report Toolbar improvements Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvement this week: SF 2023.3 20231124 - Rights on menu items While trying to modify a menu group, an error could occur because of existing role rights, hindering the group change. This service fix will ensure that these role rights remain intact when changing a menu group using the form. They are automatically applied to the new combination of group and item.   In the 2024.1 it will also be possible to use the Design tab to modify the menu group without any errors. This was not something we could easily include in this service fix. We mentioned this part as a known issue for the 2023.3 platform release.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have fixed two grid issues.You can read more about the Windows GUI's features in the user interface guide.Download Windows GUI 2023.3.12 here.ContentsMinor fixes and tasks Editable grid as a detail Keyboard navigation in the grid Questions or suggestions? Minor fixes and tasksEditable grid as a detailWe resolved a problem in the default editable grid where, in some instances, the grid failed to enter edit mode when clicking on a new row. This issue could occur when the editable grid serves as a detail of another document. Keyboard navigation in the gridWe have fixed a problem in the Windows GUI's grid where navigating via the keyboard would not scroll the cell into view. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added the possibility to filter within the open API document. We have also made Indicium more robust against missing decryption keys.You can read more about Indicium's features in the Indicium user manual.We will keep you updated regularly about Indicium's progress. About IndiciumTwo types of the Thinkwise Indicium Application Tier are available: Indicium Basic: for use with the Windows GUI and Mobile GUI. This basic version does not support features such as system flows and OpenID. Indicium: for use with the Universal GUI and via APIs. This version uses the full range of Indicium functionality.Download Indicium release 2023.3.12 here.  ContentsAbout Indicium New and changed Filter in open API document Start and load with missing decryption keys Minor fixes and tasks Questions or suggestions? New and changedFilter in open API documentnewWe have added the possibility to filter within the open API document. This can be a powerful method to reduce the document size, resulting in faster loading times, or to selectively show specific entities.The following query string parameters have been added:entities - A single entity or a comma-separated list of entities. The entities can be tables, reports, and tasks. Example:iam/<appl>/openapi?entities=employee,employee_hour,project include_lookups - A boolean (true or false) that indicates whether the lookups need to be included in the document. Example:iam/<appl>/openapi?include_lookups=true include_details - A boolean (true or false) that indicates whether the details need to be included in the document. Example:iam/<appl>/openapi?include_details=true include_table_tasks - A boolean (true or false) that indicates whether the table tasks need to be included in the document. You can filter normal tasks with the entities' query string parameter. Example:iam/<appl>/openapi?include_table_tasks=true include_table_reports - A boolean (true or false) that indicates whether the table reports need to be included in the document. You can filter normal reports with the entities' query string parameter. Example:iam/<appl>/openapi?include_table_reports=true Start and load with missing decryption keyschangeWithout access to the required decryption keys for the application model or IAM configuration, Indicium will now still start and load these application models. Only the features related to the encrypted settings will not work. Minor fixes and tasksWe have extended the lifespan of the cookie that stores the redirect URL or return URL. Previously, this cookie had a lifespan of only 3 minutes, meaning that if users opened the page and remained inactive for 3 minutes, the cookie would expire, and the return URL would be lost. To address this issue, we have increased the cookie's lifespan to 10 minutes. We have fixed an issue that prevented the drag-drop links from being provided as input parameters for the task's default procedure. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes?

Hello everyone,You may have already noticed some changes in the Thinkwise Documentation, but perhaps you haven't seen everything yet. Here’s an overview of all the structural changes and enhancements that we have made in the last few months. ContentsContents General documentation features New tiles Let us know what is helpful Enlarge images Content enhancements IAM - Roles better explained Software Factory - Improved task setup guide Software Factory - Generic features Restructured content  General documentation featuresNew tilesThe most recent and most visual change is that we refreshed the tiles on the documentation's home page. They are now more in line with the Thinkwise products.New subjects on the landing page are Artificial Intelligence and the Thinkstore. We want to highlight these subjects because they can be a great help in developing your applications. They replace the Knowledge base and User interface guides. Of course, both guides remain available through the menu and Search. Let us know what is helpfulAt the bottom of each page, you can now let us know whether the information on that page was helpful or not. We use this feedback to decide which pages need improvement, to set priorities, and to know which pages are good and useful. So, you can help us further enhance the documentation by using the Yes and No buttons.We are looking into extending this feature with a feedback field, so you can let us know what's good and what can be improved.Let us know what you think!Enlarge imagesSome of the screenshots in the documentation are large and contain a lot of information, which makes them sometimes hard to read. It is not always possible to make them smaller because too much information would be lost. Instead, you can now click on an image to enlarge it. When you hover over a screenshot, a magnifying glass appears as an indication that the screenshot can be enlarged. Click to enlarge, and click again to zoom back out.Enlarge a screenshotContent enhancementsIAM - Roles better explainedTo resolve some confusion about the available roles in IAM, we have improved the descriptions of these roles. You can find the descriptions in the Administrator roles guide. For a better overview, we have added some tables to this guide that enable comparison between roles, see the chapter Role overview.In addition, we have added the minimum roles required for each feature in IAM.Roles in IAM better explained Software Factory - Improved task setup guideWhen you are new to the Software Factory, one of the more complicated processes might be setting up a task. To support you in this, we have added a clear walkthrough to guide you through the process. See Set up a task. This information may also be useful for setting up the drag-drop functionality.How to set up a task Software Factory - Generic featuresSome features are generic throughout the entire Software Factory but were nowhere clearly explained. Until now. In the new guide Generic features, you can read everything about features like Go to tasks, trace fields, and generated objects.We will continue to extend this guide.Generic features Restructured contentA guide with a clear structure makes it easier and faster to find what you are looking for. For this reason, we have restructured some large guides:The IAM guide - We restructured the entire IAM guide. Previously, it included an Administrators’ guide and a Managers’ guide, but so many features have been added to IAM in recent years that this format is no longer useful. Now, the functionality in IAM is directly visible in the menu. The Models and branches guide - The information has been restructured, with a clearer division between both.  The Universal UI guide - This guide now consists of three parts. Within these parts, the information has been restructured.  Basics Screen components Controls

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2023.3 20231108 - Field positioning using field sets We now set the "field no. of positions further" to 1 when a field in a form or task/report pop-up is part of a new field set.  A field set defines which fields belong to each other and should be displayed next to each other. Example: Field A Field B - Field C If field B is hidden in the model or due to authorization, field C must not be shown next to field A because it has a different field set.  SF & IAM 2023.2 and up 20231107 - Set client secret not null When trying to encrypt the client secret from oauth server you will get a error which causes that the client secret isn't encrypted. This has been fixed.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2023.3 20231030 - Prevent lock during archiving Archiving the current user branch after executing a merge session or manually archiving the current user branch will prompt the user to select a new branch. A previous hotfix ensured the branch currently being archived would not be selected. However, this caused waiting times in certain situations, when the asynchronous archiving would already be running. This situation has been resolved. A different method is now used to prevent that the archiving branch will be chosen as target branch on the switch branch task.

October 27, 2023Full release 2023.3.11 Fixed: The cubes no longer listened to filter options like adjusting a prefilter, changing a parent record, searching, etc. This has been resolved.  Hello everyone,In this sprint, we added a filter pop-up, the option to select a chart type, support for the Color control, and more. We have also fixed a number of issues. 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 2023.3.11For 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.

Use the latest version of Indicium.Download the Universal GUI version 2023.3.11 here  ContentsDemo Universal GUI version 2023.3.11 New Open the Process flow monitor from the profile menu Advanced filter pop-up Pivot series totals Icons on component tabs Chart type selection Support COLOR control 'Activate Detail' process flow starting point Changed Updated import Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions?NewOpen the Process flow monitor from the profile menunewIn the previous release, Thinkwise introduced the Process flow monitor. You can use it to gain insight into the state of a process flow for the logged-in user.Now, if you have the role of Developer, you can also open the Process flow monitor from the profile menu in the Universal GUI. It was already available as a link on the Indicium login screen.The Process flow monitor is available as of Indicium release 2023.3.10. Advanced filter pop-upnewWe have expanded the possibilities for the user-defined column filters with a pop-up. With the advanced filter pop-up, users can have a better overview of the set filters. It also provides a flexible way to modify and combine filters based on fields, operators, and values.You can open the pop-up from the subjects toolbar by selecting the Filter option.The Filter option is available in the overflow menu You can configure the initial appearance of this filter form in the Software Factory (menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default/Variants > tab Data > tab Filter). The selected operator can be defined per column using the Filter Condition. Otherwise, it is set based on the default settings of the Model per data type (menu Models > Model content > tab Model settings > group Filter).The pop-up initially shows the Visible for filter = Always columns and the columns the user already filtered on. We advise you not to make each column visible by default to give the user a clear overview of the most important columns to filter on.Creating a filter on the selected grid cellWith the dropdown at the bottom, the user can add more columns to the filter. Here also, the Visible for filter = Extended columns are available to add. Select Reset to start over again with the initial settings. Only one statement per field is possible.Once the user confirms the settings by selecting Filter, the pop-up is closed, and the subject is filtered.Not all types of fields can be filtered yet, and not the full list of operators has been implemented yet.Missing operators:is (not) empty not starts/ends with not containsUnsupported control types:Date/time File/image HTML/multiline Label  Pivot series totalsnewPivots now show the subtotals and grand totals of series. The totals appear to the right of the values being summed.  Icons on component tabsnewYou could already add icons to detail tabs. Now, you can also add icons to component tabs (menu User interface > Screen types > tab Design).If a tab container has a vertical orientation and at least one of its tabs has an icon, icon space is reserved on every other tab in that container as well, even if they do not currently have an icon.The icons are hidden by default. Use the extended property ShowTabIcons to enable them per application. Chart type selectionnewUsers can now change the chart type. To change the chart type, click  to open the Chart settings and select the Chart type from the list. The selected chart type is remembered on the device and will be applied again when the chart is reopened. Support COLOR controlnewWe now support the Color control in the grid, form, and card list. When in edit mode in the grid or form, the user can select a value for the Color control using a color picker. When not in edit mode or when in the card list, the user sees the color that was selected and its textual representation (in hex). 'Activate Detail' process flow starting pointnewThe Activate Detail process action can now be used as a starting point for process flows. ChangedchangeUpdated importWe have updated the mapping step in the import process:The checkboxes now have tooltips explaining their state and the possible action to take. You can now import an empty (NULL) value. This differs from not importing a column since it will import the column without its values. If you clear a checkbox, the selected column value is stored, and it is restored if you select the checkbox again. Minor fixes and tasks The process flow would continue after closing the message pop-up by clicking outside of it. This has been fixed. Some control types (for example, a checkbox) within a task pop-up did not always respond to their visibility. This happened if it did no longer fit in the same row/slot as the other fields because of field visibility changes. This issue has been fixed. The tooltip stayed visible after opening a screen with a process flow. This has been fixed. If a slot in the form contains multiple fields and one or more of those fields are hidden, the space for the visible fields is now calculated so that no space is reserved for the hidden fields. The Universal GUI would not reset the page index for the detail subjects when switching rows. This could result in empty details because of the invalid page index. The detail subject is now reset to the first page/record. On deleting an active row via a task button, the task would successfully delete the record, but the UI would show a warning message: "Object not found". This has been solved. Forms were not cleared after executing a task on a filtered dataset. For example, a filter hides all records with the status done. If you executed a task to set the status of an active record to done, the record would be filtered from the table. However, the active form would not be cleared. The record would still be available but not editable. This has been fixed. The 'Open as floating document' parameter for the 'Open document' process action did not work correctly if the subject to open was not available in the menu. This has been fixed. If the splitter was moved outside of the browser window, some components would freeze and become unusable until the page was refreshed. This issue has been fixed. If a lookup would gain focus automatically by adding in the grid, the Universal GUI would sometimes not correctly fill in the value typed by the user. When typing, the new characters would completely replace the already typed characters. This has been fixed. When working on a record in edit mode while auto-edit is enabled, you could lose edit mode or encounter an error message when selecting add or copy. In that case, it was not possible to return to edit mode. This has been fixed. It was possible to edit the checkbox in the grid when not in edit mode. This issue has been fixed. The task and report popups would not respond to changes to the @confirm_button_type and @cancel_button_type in the layout procedure. In the example below, this would result in the execute button staying disabled, even after the user fills in the name. This has been corrected. if @name is nullset @confirm_button_type = 1 -- disabled The cubes no longer listened to filter options like adjusting a prefilter, changing a parent record, searching, etc. This has been resolved. What we will be working on next sprintAdditional drag-and-drop scenarios Pivot sort series on values. UI for user-defined cube views. Filter on date time types. Support for more filter types like: is empty and not contains. Toolbar improvements. Editable multiline and HTML in the grid. Export and import translated data. Calculator control. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2023.3 20231027 - AI Code review implementation 🚀 The Software Factory can now use AI to automatically perform a code review on any control procedure set to be reviewed. After the review, the response is shown as comments on the tab Code review > Comments. To start using the AI code review, enable the AI review checkbox in Software Factory > Maintenance > Configuration > Use AI review. More info on the AI Code review can be found here: Code review | Thinkwise Documentation (thinkwisesoftware.com) On top of this new functionality, a new input parameter is introduced: Temperature. This parameter allows you to tweak the creativity of the AI's responses. It is available for the LLM Completion, Chat completion and Instruction connector. Note: this functionality works best with Indicium 2023.3.11 and up. The current implementation can only review control procedure templates.    SF& IAM 2023.2 and up 20231023 - Fix upper case in role variant A couple procedures contained an uppercase in the code which could lead to errors during Synchronization to IAM. This has been fixed.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have improved the email preview and solved some problems.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features in the user interface guide.Download Windows GUI 2023.3.11 here. ContentsNew Improved email preview Minor fixes and tasks Changes from external code editor not always saved Unavailable domain element not translated Fix for minimum and maximum constraints Questions or suggestions?  NewImproved email previewWindows GUI changeWe have improved the preview of email messages with a .msg extension. The message did not always load properly. We have improved this by using a different component for rendering the email messages. Minor fixes and tasksChanges from external code editor not always savedWindows GUIIf you changed code in an external editor in the Functionality screen in the Software Factory, the changes were not always saved in the model. This problem has been solved. Unavailable domain element not translatedWindows GUIYou can mark domain elements as unavailable to remove them from a dropdown menu (menu (Data > Domains > tab Elements > tab Form > tab Element).Previously, these elements were no longer translated. Now, when marked as unavailable, they will still be translated. The translation is used in the database for historic data using the domain elements. Fix for minimum and maximum constraintsWindows GUIIn specific scenarios, applying minimum or maximum constraints to numeric domain values could lead to an application-breaking exception if the user-supplied value fell outside the bounds of the underlying data type.For example, when attempting to input a value of 999 into a field with a data type of tinyint and a maximum allowable value of 100, the application would encounter an exception. This has been fixed. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community!

This button will make it easier to go to the application from the root page.The value of this redirect button can be set in the appsettings.json. In most cases, you would set this to the URL of the Universal GUI. This way the button will redirect the user back to the Universal GUI."LoginOptions":{ "ApplicationRedirectURL": "<your value>"}Return to the application from the root page Health check endpointIndicium Community idea Application administrator newWe have added a /health endpoint that can be used by monitoring software to periodically check the status of Indicium.The endpoint can be accessed anonymously. If Indicium has been started successfully, it will return one of the following responses:200 OK{ "status": "Healthy"}200 OK{ "status": "Degraded"}503 Service Unavailable{ "status": "Unhealthy"}A "Healthy" status indicates that Indicium is running as expected as far as the health checks can determine. A "Degraded" status indicates that the connection to the meta source (IAM) works as expected, but one or more application connections are having issues. An "Unhealthy" status indicates that Indicium's connection to the meta source is having issues.Use in Developer modeDeveloper modeThe endpoint returns more information if accessed by a user who has been assigned Developer mode access in IAM. For example, a basic result when everything is healthy:200 OK{ "status": "Healthy", "reports": { "meta_source": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "Status of the connection to the meta source database.", "duration": 78.8475, "data": { "assembly_version": "0.0.0.0", "result_loaded_from_cache": false, "sub_reports": { "iam_connection": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "Connection to IAM was successful.", "data": {} }, "version": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "The metasource version of the database and the one that Indicium started with are the same.", "data": { "expected_version": "2023.2.13", "current_version": "2023.2.13" } }, "time_difference": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "The time difference between the server Indicium is running on and the database server must be less than 20 seconds.", "data": {} } } } }, "application": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "Connection status of each application that is currently active in IAM.", "duration": 168.6951, "data": { "sub_reports": { "itst": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "Connection status to the database of application itst.", "data": { "application_id": 52, "application_alias": "itst", "model_id": "INDICIUM_INTEGRATION_TEST", "model_version": "MAIN", "result_loaded_from_cache": false, "cache_result_expiration": "2023-09-26T15:48:33.9810801Z" } }, "sf": { "status": "Healthy", "description": "Connection status to the database of application sf.", "data": { "application_id": 64, "application_alias": "sf", "model_id": "SQLSERVER_SF", "model_version": "2023.2.13", "result_loaded_from_cache": false, "cache_result_expiration": "2023-09-26T15:48:34.0123615Z" } } } } } }}The meta_source report contains data about the connection to the meta source that has been configured for this Indicium instance.The assembly_version property contains the full product version of Indicium itself according to the assembly file, for example, "2023.2.13.0-ga9a28b0-0". The agent_id contains the ID that this Indicium instance communicates towards IAM to facilitate agent services such as system flows. It is only present if the Agent:Enabled setting in the Indicium configuration has been set to true. The result_loaded_from_cache property indicates whether or not the current request used a cached result for the entire check. All checks are always performed, even if the endpoint is accessed anonymously. To prevent checks from hitting the database too often, a caching mechanism has been added for some checks. The duration of the cache time can be changed; see the configuration options further below. The sub_reports property contains more information about each sub-check that was done to determine the status of the meta_source check. iam_connection checks if Indicium can still connect to the meta-source database. version checks if the version of the meta-source still matches the one that Indicium found when first starting up. time_difference checks if the time difference between the system clock of the server Indicium is running on does not deviate too much from what the database server reports. If the difference is too great, features such as system flow scheduling might experience issues. If any of these checks report "Unhealthy", there is something wrong with Indicium, and it might need to be restarted in order to continue providing service. The application report contains data about the connection status to each currently available application within the meta-source.Each sub-report is about an application of which the connection was checked. The ID of the sub-report is either the application's alias or if the alias is not set, the ID of the application. Each sub-report contains the following data properties: The application_id - the ID of the application that was checked. The application_alias - the alias of the application that was checked. The model_id of the application. The model_version of the application. The result_loaded_from_cache property indicates whether this result was currently loaded from the cache. The cache_result_expiration property contains a UTC timestamp indicating when the cached result expires, and the connection will be checked once more. The "Healthy" and "Unhealthy" statuses have different cache durations. Both can be changed in the configuration of Indicium; see the configuration example further below. The sub-reports will indicate either a "Healthy" or "Unhealthy" status. However, the main status of this report will indicate "Degraded" in case one of the applications indicates an "Unhealthy" status. The reason for this is that an application connection failing does not necessarily indicate that the entire Indicium service is running incorrectly. Furthermore, some monitoring software on Azure, for example, will attempt to restart Indicium if the health endpoint returns an HTTP status code outside the 200 range. Since an "Unhealthy" status returns a 503 Service Unavailable response code, this would be the case. However, a restart probably will not fix the issue in case of an application connection failure. Therefore, we return a "Degraded" health status instead to indicate that something is still wrong, but the service will not be restarted because a "Degraded" status also returns a 200 OK HTTP response code.Below are the configuration options that are available for the health checks and their default values:{ "HealthCheck": { "MetaSource": { "CacheDurationInSeconds": 60 }, "Application": { "Enabled": true, "Include": [], "Exclude": [], "CacheDurationInSeconds": { "Healthy": 300, "Unhealthy": 60 } } }}HealthCheck:MetaSource:CacheDurationInSeconds controls the cache duration of the entire meta source check result. The default value is 60 seconds (1 minute). HealthCheck:Application:Enabled controls whether the application connection check is enabled. The default value is true. If set to false, a report is still added, but it will always return "Healthy". HealthCheck:Application:Include can be used to only perform the application connection check on the provided application aliases/IDs. By default, all active applications are included. If you set this value to [ "sf", "example", "96" ], for example, only the connection to these applications will be checked: Alias: sf Alias: example ID: 96 HealthCheck:Application:Exclude can be used to exclude certain applications by alias/ID from the check. By default, no applications are excluded Setting this value to [ "example", "96" ], for example, would cause these applications to be excluded from the check. This setting gets applied after "Include", so combining the two examples above would result in only the following application connection being checked: Alias: sf HealthCheck:Application:CacheDurationInSeconds:Healthy can be used to control the cache duration of each application connection result that reports a "Healthy" status. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes). The minimum value that can be configured is 10 seconds. HealthCheck:Application:CacheDurationInSeconds:Unhealthy can be used to control the cache duration of each application connection result that reports an "Unhealthy" status. The default value is 60 seconds (1 minute). The minimum value that can be configured is 10 seconds.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF& IAM 2022.1 and up 20231019 - New message translations for indicium The translations for SQL Server database messages regarding merge errors where missing for Indicium. These has been added so Indicium can show these messages.  Upcycler 2023.3 20231019 - Alternative way to check json path exists The enrichment process was using a built-in SQL function that is not supported by SQL Server 2019. However, this version is still supported under our lifecycle policy. We have replaced the function with an equally functional alternative solution.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvement this week: SF 2023.3 20231009 - Do not switch to archived branch After archiving a branch, the pop-up for selecting a new branch would incorrectly suggest the branch that is already (being) archived. This problem has been resolved.

An extra release of the Universal GUI was requested as an addendum to the latest production release: The hierarchical tree now correctly handles the case where there is no display column. Drag and drop now works correctly on first load, with pinned columns, and when scrolling down in the grid or tree. The drag and drop is now enabled by default, you can turn it off by setting enableDragDrop to false in config.json The 2023.3.10.3 release is now available to download in TCP.

Oct 4, 2023Changed release version 2023.2.13 to 2023.3.10. No changes in content.Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added that the file upload dialog remembers the last directory. We have also fixed some issues.You can read more about the Windows GUI's features in the user interface guide.Download Windows GUI 2023.3.10 here ContentsNew File upload remembers directory Minor fixes and tasks Grid no longer ignores cell focus Fixed error for add row in a grid Solved problem with mandatory prefilter Questions or suggestions?  NewFile upload remembers directoryWindows GUIWhen uploading a file in a grid, the dialog now remembers the last directory from which a file was selected. This folder is opened initially in the dialog. This was already available in a form. Minor fixes and tasksGrid no longer ignores cell focusWindows GUIWe have solved a problem where the grid ignored the cell focus and only navigated to the next or previous cells.This problem could occur if you typed in a grid cell and wanted to remove a typo two characters back using the left arrow key. In that case, the grid would ignore that the cell was in edit mode and move the focus to the previous cell instead of the previous characters.Fixed error for add row in a gridWindows GUIIn a detail tab in a grid (in edit mode, with add row in grid activated), a null reference error would occur if a user tried to add a row directly in the grid.This has been solved. Now, the grid shows an empty new row at the top, where the user can edit the row directly.Solved problem with mandatory prefilterWindows GUIWe have solved that a user could deselect all the prefilters within a mandatory prefilter group even though at least one prefilter should remain active.Now, the last active prefilter can no longer be deactivated in a mandatory prefilter group. Another prefilter has to be selected first. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community!

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvement this week: SF 2023.2 20231003 - Branch archiving improvements When archiving a branch after merging, there was the possibility that the created model version had an incorrect time. Rather than stating a time before the archive took place, it stated a time that was after the archiving. This would result in empty branches once the branch would be unarchived. This has been fixed in addition to other improvements.

A hotfix release of the Universal GUI was requested to fix the latest production release: A snackbar with an error message was shown when starting Universal 2023.3.10 on a 2023.2 or older SF version. The underlying error has been fixed. SVG icons would not be shown in the menu or in detail tabs if they did not have width or height information. This has been fixed. Note: SVG icons also didn't show up the tree component before, but this was already fixed in the 2023.3.10.0 release. The 2023.3.10.2 release is now available to download in TCP.

October 4, 2023Full release 2023.3.10 (from 2023.2.13 BETA) New features that support the Thinkwise Platform 2023.3: Language user preference Fallback display types for table tasks and reports Change: Tab icons hidden by default Fix: Multi-select for touch screens  Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added configurable import for Excel and CSV files. We have also added support for the Language user preference, the Change sort order process action, and fallback display types for table tasks and reports. 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 2023.3.10For 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 2022.1 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 2023.3.10 here ContentsDemo Universal GUI version 2023.3.10 Contents New and changed Support for fallback display types Configurable import Tab icons hidden by default Language as a user preference Support for 'Change sort order' process action Improved hierarchy and attribute trees  Skeleton screen when loading Saving when switching tabs changed Fixed multi-select for touch screens Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint Questions or suggestions? New and changed Support for fallback display typesnew​We have added support for fallback display types for table tasks and reports. This is available as of Thinkwise Platform version 2023.3.To customize how a table task or table report is shown in the Universal GUI, you could already change its Display type. If there was enough space, the presentation would be according to the selected type. With insufficient space, the Universal GUI decided what the fallback display type would be.You can now customize the fallback behavior to suit your needs. We have added additional combinations of fallback display types as options to cover most cases. For more information, see the Thinkwise Platform 2023.3 release notes. Configurable importnewYou can now configure how to import an Excel or CSV file into your subject. You can find the Import option in a subject's overflow menu. The import consists of various steps that guide you to the configuration:The first step is Select file. Here, you can select the file that you want to import. .XLS, .XLSX, or .CSV are the only allowed extensions.Select the file you want to importIn the second step, Import mode, you can configure how the data should be imported. Based on the selected mode, the description at the bottom differs because it depends on the location where the export is started. When working in a detail subject, it explains why the related columns to the parent subject could not be changed. The options for the import mode are:Insert all data Add new records, update existing records Only update existing recordsThe third step is Prepare data. This page differs according to the type of file that is selected. With the fields at the top, you can select which part of the selected file you want to import. It also shows sample data of the selected file.For an Excel file, you can select the worksheet and where the data starts. For a CSV file, only the headers field is available. Indicium guesses the delimiter separating the column values. This cannot be changed yet.For both import and export, it is not yet possible to work with translated data.The fourth step is Map data. Here, you can map the column of a CSV or Excel file to a column in your database. You can select which columns should be imported. If columns are not available in Excel but do require a value, you can set a constant value that should be used for each row. Next to each column, a preview is shown of the data that will be imported.Map file columns to database columnsThe final step is Import. This screen shows an overview of the configured settings and a preview of what the import will look like. Select the button Import to start the import. A progress bar is shown.When the import has finished, an overview shows how many records have been imported, updated, or failed. You can download an Excel file with the rows that failed to import. Tab icons hidden by defaultchangePreviously, icons on tabs were, by default, always visible. Based on user feedback, we have changed this. Now, tab icons are hidden by default.You can use the new extended property ShowTabIcons to show them. Language as a user preferencenew changeUsers can now change their language in an application with the Universal GUI. This is available as of Thinkwise Platform version 2023.3.They can select User preferences in the profile menu and switch to any available language. If no translations are available for the selected language, the Universal GUI will show the default language. Note that it can take up to one minute for all translations to load.In addition, the option Change password has moved from the User preferences to its own item in the profile menu.Changed user preference menu Support for 'Change sort order' process actionnewUniversal GUI now supports the Change sort order process action. It was already available for the Windows and Web GUIs.We have also solved a problem with the sort arrow. It would not be removed when resetting the sort order. Improved hierarchy and attribute treeschangeWe have improved the hierarchy and attribute trees. They now support multi-selection and conditional layouts.This change also results in some small behavioral changes:Previously, you had to use the left and right arrows to expand and collapse. Now, this is done with the Enter key instead. The trees have some minor visual changes.In addition, we have solved a crash in the attribute tree and the problem of a broken hierarchy tree when multiple parent columns were configured.  Skeleton screen when loadingchangeThe Universal GUI now shows a skeleton instead of a spinner screen when loading. If you want to go back to the spinner, set enableSkeletonScreens to false in the config.json file.Example of skeleton screens Saving when switching tabs changedchangeIf you switched to a different tab with Auto-save enabled and the subject in edit mode, it would be saved in the background.Now, if you switch to another tab, the subject will be saved first. Only if the save succeeds will it switch to the new tab. This prevents errors in the newly opened tab about the previous subject, for example, when a mandatory field is empty. Fixed multi-select for touch screensfixWe have solved some problems with multi-select for touch screens:It is now possible to deselect the active record (as shown in a form and breadcrumb). When deselected, the first selected record will become the new active record. Deselecting is not possible if the active record is the only selected record; this is intentional. If you deselect the active record when it is the last record in a selection, the GUI now shows the right number of selected records in the top bar (instead of 0). When you start selecting multiple records by long-pressing a record, this record now becomes the new active record, as expected. Previously, it would be added to a selection with the prior active record. Now, checkboxes are shown on each row in a grouped grid. It is no longer possible to exit multi-select with long-pressing, you must now press the X in the top bar. Minor fixes and tasksAdding a new row that included a read-only checkbox field on a grid would ignore the default value of that field and show a NULL/indeterminate checkbox. This has been fixed, the proper value will be shown now. The HTML control did not save the contents correctly when closing the keyboard with the Done button on iOS. This has been fixed. The control for the file input field scaled outside the normal field boundary during uploading. This has been fixed. The tooltip for grid headers did not look as intended. This has been fixed. A detail subject kept showing summary/aggregation value underneath the grid when a parent record was selected without detail records. This resulted in a possible expensive data request without filtering on the parent keys. This has been fixed; without a parent record, there will be no summary. The Copy to clipboard control for forms would not expand to match the field height in the positions setting. This has been fixed. The control now also allows multiple lines of text if the field height in positions is higher than 1. Clicking on hyperlinks in form input fields (Email, Telephone No, URLs, etc.) would not work. This has been fixed. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:Advanced filter form Pivot series totals Editable cube view Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Oct 4, 2023Changed release version 2023.2.13 to 2023.3.10 No changes in content Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have mainly added new features for monitoring and logging. We have also solved an issue.You can read more about Indicium's features in the Indicium user manual.We will keep you updated regularly about Indicium's progress. About IndiciumTwo types of the Thinkwise Indicium Application Tier are available: Indicium Basic: for use with the Windows GUI and Mobile GUI. This basic version does not support features such as system flows and OpenID. There is no Indicium Basic release for 2023.3.10. Indicium: for use with the Universal GUI and via APIs. This version uses the full range of Indicium functionality.Download Indicium release 2023.3.10 here.  ContentsAbout Indicium Contents Indicium - New and changed Process flow monitor Events for authentication for Azure Application Insights Indicium version logged on startup OpenID provider sign-out buttons can be removed Indicium - Fixed Questions or suggestions? Indicium - New and changed Process flow monitornewWe have implemented an initial version of the process flow monitor in Indicium. It offers many of the same features as the one you might know from the Windows GUI (in the Developer ribbon).The process flow monitor is only available for users with the role Developer mode in IAM. If you are logged in and navigate to Indicium's landing page, you will find a link to the process flow monitor. The address for direct access is https://[server]/indicium/account/ui/processFlowMonitor.A link to the process flow monitor in the login screenWhen you open the process flow monitor, it is always empty. It will only start recording process flows after you open the page. Furthermore, you can only see process flows that have been initiated by you (your IAM user). This means that system flows are not available.When you trigger a process flow (in the Universal GUI or through an HTTP client such as Insomnia or Postman), you will see entries appear in the process flow monitor. Each instance of a process flow will produce an entry that contains a timestamp, the name of the process flow, and the unique ID of that process flow instance. Click on an entry to expand it and view more detailed information.Process flow entries in the process flow monitorAfter clicking on a process flow entry, it shows all of the recorded events for that process flow. These events include ProcessFlowStarted, ProcessActionStarted, ProcessActionCompleted, and ProcessFlowCompleted. You can further expand each of these events to show more details.The ProcessFlowStarted event contains the values of the process variables at the start of a process flow. It is the state of the process variables before any process action has been started. The ProcessActionStarted event contains the state of the process variables at the start of the process action. It also contains the values that the input parameters of the process action received. The ProcessActionCompleted event contains the state of the process variables after the process action has been completed (so after the output parameters have been processed). It also separately shows the values of the output parameters, but only those that have been mapped to process variables. This is currently a technical limitation. However, the status code of the process action will always be shown as a standalone row in this overview.An expanded process flow entry with several eventsEvents for authentication for Azure Application InsightsnewWe have added login telemetry events to Indicium. If you use Azure Application Insights, you can now analyze failed and successful login events by navigating to Logs and running the following query:traces | where customDimensions ["ProviderName"] == "Thinkwise-Login"Overview of log eventsAnalyze login events Indicium version logged on startupnewDuring startup, Indicium will now add an information message with the Indicium version to the log file. This ensures that we always know on which version an error has occurred when you send us a log file.Version in log file OpenID provider sign-out buttons can be removedchangeSome OpenID providers do not support signing out, which is not always clear from the metadata. To make it possible to turn off the sign-out option for an OpenID provider, Indicium will no longer show sign-out buttons if their icon and text are both empty. If only one sign-out option is available for the user, Indicium will automatically use that one without requiring an extra click from the user.To remove the sign-out button, go in IAM to the menu Authorization > OpenID providers > tab Formand clear the fields Sign out button icon and Sign out button text. Indicium - FixedWe have improved some translations on Indicium's pages related to authentication. They now better explain the reasons for receiving an email with a validation code (or not). Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community!  

Hello everyone,In this release, we have added AI integration to the Upcycler. You can now use AI to translate code and add code descriptions during your enrichment steps.Read on for more details on the changes.Download the Thinkwise Upcycler 2023.3.10 here.RequirementsSoftware Factory 2022.1 or higher is required.ContentsRequirements New AI integration in the Enrichment analysis process How to start using AI in the Upcycler AI-driven generic analysis enrichments Uniface Upcycler enrichments New and changed in Upcycle steps Upcycle step 2410: Translate Views Upcycle step 2420: Translate Procedures Upcycle step 2430: Translate Functions Upcycle step 2440: Translate Triggers/Instead of triggers Upcycle step 2450: Translate Defaults Upcycle step 2460: Translate Layouts Upcycle step 2500: Create control procedure and template description Data model changes Column changes Questions or suggestions? NewAI integration in the Enrichment analysis processnewUpcycled applications typically contain code that was written in a different programming language, is missing comments, or contains comments in another language. With AI integration, you can now use OpenAI to, for example, add comments to existing code, add descriptions for any object in the model, or replace existing code concepts with new ones. AI greatly enhances the Upcycler's enrichment capabilities.In the Upcycler (menu Definition > Generic upcycler > tab Generic enrichment analysis step > Form > field AI Instruction), you can add the instruction that contains the rules and guidelines that the AI will follow. Providing more instructions usually leads to a better result. The generic AI instruction can be modified to fit every technology.Adding AI instruction to generic enrichment step How to start using AI in the UpcyclerTo use the AI capabilities of the Upcycler:Visit the website of OpenAI  to obtain an API key. Modify the generative AI provider settings in IAM for the Upcycler application: Go to menu Authorization > Applications > THINKWISE_UPCYCLER > detail tab Generative AI providers. Edit generative_ai and set the API key. Optional: Change the chat completion model from the default gpt-3.5-turbo to another model that your key allows. In the Upcycler, all enrichment steps with an AI instruction will now be processed using AI. The screenshot above shows a short example of a suitable instruction for adding comment lines to template code. To successfully give the AI a prompt to use, name a column in your Model query as "prompt". The value of this column will be used to generate a response.An example:In this example, the column ‘template_code’ will be used as the prompt To retrieve the results of the model query execution and the AI result, you can open the @json variable with the T-SQL function openjson(). The @json variable has the usual Application connector result structure, with the addition of an ai_result property in the Result list.Note that ai_result may not be a named column inside the model query, as this column will be automatically appended by the Upcycler after receiving a response from the AI.For example, to select all data from the previously mentioned model query, you can use the following query:select t3.*from openjson(@json) t1 -- main jsoncross apply openjson(a.value) t2 -- result[]cross apply openjson(b.value) -- resultSet[]with ( control_proc_id nvarchar(max), template_id nvarchar(max), template_code nvarchar(max), ai_result nvarchar(max) ) t3Using this data, you can specify enrichment action steps with the ai_result value. Use other steps as a reference for this. AI-driven generic analysis enrichmentsnewWe have added new enrichment runs to the Upcycler (See also New and changed in the upcycle steps in these release notes). The following new analysis enrichments are available:Translate Views Translate Procedures Translate Functions Translate Triggers/Instead of triggers Translate Defaults Translate Layouts Create control procedure and template descriptionThe first six translate enrichments translate legacy code into T-SQL per code group, using AI. These enrichments are separated between code groups to be disabled if the legacy code does not support anything that can be transformed into that logic type.For these enrichments, the process is as follows:The model query finds all control procedures that are not inactive and not generated (either by a dynamic model or from a base model) for that specific code group. The model query uses the template code as a prompt for the AI to translate. The AI instruction tells the OpenAI provider that it is a programmer who can translate code, and instructs it about which rules to follow and what kind of code to return. The data query produces a step per template with a valid AI response. During this step, the template code is overridden by the AI suggestion. You can choose which steps to execute in the action steps or execute them all and review the code in the Software Factory. There, you can also always find the old code in the history (Ctrl + H).The last enrichment (Create control procedure and template description) uses template code to create a description that explains what the code does. This can be very helpful for legacy code that could not be translated, as well as for Thinkwise experts who are not fluent in the legacy language.For this enrichment, we assume that every control procedure has precisely one template and one static assignment. It should be used before any changes have been made to upcycled code. If you have changed anything, check the model query and exclude these changes in the model query if necessary.For this enrichment, the process is as follows:The model query finds all control procedures that are not inactive and not generated (either by a dynamic model or from a base model). The model query uses the template code as a prompt for the AI to summarize. The AI instruction tells the OpenAI provider that it is a programmer who summarizes code, and what kind of response it must give. The data query produces a step per template with a valid AI response. During this step, a description is added by the AI suggestion if the description was empty before.These enrichments only work when an AI provider is configured correctly in IAM (see How to start using AI in the Upcycler). During the first enrichment analysis, this provider is tested.If it does not work correctly, the steps are disabled in the Application steps (Upcycle > Enrichment runs > Application > Application enrichment analysis steps). You can configure the AI provider in IAM and (potentially) enable the steps before trying another run.Note that these steps may take a while if the legacy contains a lot of code. Uniface Upcycler enrichmentsCompared to the generic analysis, the Uniface analysis does not analyze defaults or layout procedures because those are unavailable in Uniface upcycles.For all other new AI enrichments, Uniface-specific AI instructions have been included to support Uniface code instead of generic code.An example of a Uniface-specific AI instruction is: You are a programmer who translates code from Uniface to T-SQL. New and changed in Upcycle steps Upcycle step 2410: Translate ViewsStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Specific  Upcycle step 2420: Translate ProceduresStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Specific  Upcycle step 2430: Translate FunctionsStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Specific  Upcycle step 2440: Translate Triggers/Instead of triggersStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Specific  Upcycle step 2450: Translate DefaultsStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Not applicable  Upcycle step 2460: Translate LayoutsStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Not applicable  Upcycle step 2500: Create control procedure and template descriptionStep New or changed Generic step New Variation for DB2 for iSeries Generic Variation for PostgreSQL Generic Variation for Progress OpenEdge Generic Variation for SQL Server Generic Variation for Uniface Specific  Data model changesThis chapter describes which data model changes have been made to the Thinkwise Upcycler meta-model.Column changesTable From column To column application_enrichment_analysis_step - instruction enrichment_run - enrichment_analysis_run_ai_error_text enrichment_run_analysis_step - instruction generic_enrichment_analysis_step - instruction technology_enrichment_analysis_step - instruction  Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community!

Hello everyone, The highlight of this release is the introduction of generative AI in the Software Factory. We have added four Large Language Model connectors that you can use in your system flows. This opens a world of new possibilities.Some other important features are the improved merging process, the introduction of public API roles, and the possibility of encrypting key values in a runtime configuration. From IAM, you can now send email notifications to users.In this summary, you will read about some of the key features of this release. Read all the detailed release notes in the Thinkwise Documentation. ContentsContents Highlights of this release Generative AI in process connectors Generative AI in the Thinkwise Platform Branching and merging Public API roles Other new and changed features Email notifications from IAM Encryption of key values Questions or suggestions? Highlights of this releaseGenerative AI in process connectorsAs mentioned in the introduction, generative AI is now available in the Software Factory. To support you in using generative AI in your applications, we have added four Large Language Model connectors that you can use in your system flows.Generative AI is a class of artificial intelligence techniques and models that is designed to create or generate new content, such as text, images, music, and more, by learning patterns and structures from large datasets.A Large Language Mode (LLM) is an example of Generative AI. LLMs are large neural networks that are trained to predict the next token (word, punctuation, etc.) given some text. They are trained on very large amounts of data. You can instruct an LLM on what to do with your text.The new connectors open a world of new possibilities. You can use them, for example, to: Generate text based on a few keywords  Summarize text Classify text (extract the subject or tags from a text) Analyze the sentiment of a text Answer questions Translate text to another languageThe new connectors are:LLM Chat completion - use this connector to build a chat conversation between a user and a Large Language Model (LLM). LLM Completion - this connector can suggest how to complete a provided text. You can use it, for example, to complete product descriptions, draft emails, or generate code. LLM instruction - this connector can transform text following your instruction. It can, for example, summarize, translate, change the formality of, or remove sentiment from a text. LLM embedding - this connector can find semantically related texts.  Share your use cases and inspire others in the Thinkwise Community!The place of Generative AI and LLMs in the AI landscape Generative AI in the Thinkwise PlatformUsing the new LLM connectors, we have introduced AI in the Software Factory and the Upcycler.(available soon) In the Software Factory, you can use AI to perform a code review on any control procedure automatically.  This feature is intended to supplement human reviewers and should be used to assist in the review process. You can still deactivate the AI review if you prefer a manual review.In the Upcycler, AI is now available to enhance the enrichment capabilities. Upcycled applications typically contain code that is written in a different programming language, is missing comments, or contains comments in another language. With Ai integration, you can now use OpenAI to, for example, add comments to existing code, add descriptions for any object in the model, or replace existing code concepts with new ones.To use these features, you must enable AI for the Software Factory or Upcycler. Branching and mergingWe changed the detail screens of the merge process to improve the process and the conflicts overview.Tab Conflicts is now called Active conflicts. It contains a list of all conflicts that have been detected after you started the merge session. On the new detail tab Compare [object type], you can quickly identify and focus on specific conflicts. It also provides historical context so you can resolve conflicts more efficiently. Tab Actions is now called Advanced. It contains a complete overview of all generated delta actions. For more complex merge sessions, you can select here if and how actions should be applied or ignored. Tab Merge impact is new. It contains an overview of all the actions that will be done during the execution of the merge session. You can use this for a full review.In addition, merge sessions now also create and automatically resolve conflicts for duplicate update and delete actions in the source and target branches. This was already available for duplicate insert actions.The new tab Merge impact Public API rolesTo integrate your application with other systems, you can use Indicium calls with authentication, for example, as a client application or with an OpenID provider.However, systems like webhooks or subscriptions do not always allow authentication.In these cases, you can now make the API call public for access without authentication. You can use this for actions like processing appointments and emails with Microsoft Graph. To set up a public API call in the Software Factory, you must assign a role to the object, such as a subroutine, and make it public with the new checkbox Allow as public API. The next step is activating or deactivating a public API role in IAM. Other new and changed featuresEmail notifications from IAMYou can now send email notifications from IAM to users. Use this, for example, to inform users of an application about planned system downtime. Template for an email notification Encryption of key valuesYou can now encrypt key values in a runtime configuration for a File storage location, Email provider, Generative AI provider, or OAuth server.In addition, we have improved the encryption process when you switch to another type of email provider or file storage location in the Software Factory or IAM. This improvement gives you more control over the use of encryption. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2022.1 and up 20230929 - Fix if prefilter is deleted and up record exists When a prefilter is deleted in the SF and a user preference record exists in IAM for this prefilter. You would get a error when trying to sync to IAM. This has been fixed. SF 2022.1 and up 20230929 - Improved pk comparison when detecting conflicts. Improved the PK comparison in the procedure that checks for merge conflicts, to support creating potential conflicts for post sync code and model settings.
