Product Updates

 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. 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 2023.1.10Do 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 2023.1.10 here Universal GUI version 2023.1.10 Breaking Support for Thinkwise Platform release 2021.1 has ended New Support for new process actions Custom look-up display column for Maps Support for the 'DisableZoomIn' extended property Support for dynamic input constraints Tooltip from translation in grid headers Improved user settings Changed Support for formalized Scheduler The same scrollbar in the entire application Changed and fixed in Model insight Minor fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprintBreakingSupport for Thinkwise Platform release 2021.1 has endedIn accordance with our Lifecycle policy, Universal GUI support for Thinkwise Platform release 2021.1 has ended.Please upgrade to at least Software Factory release 2021.2 to use this Universal GUI 2022.2.13 release.NewSupport for new process actionsWe have added support for some new process actions in the 2023.1 platform release, Open link and Close all documents.For more information on these process actions, see the Thinkwise Platform version 2023.1 release notes (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/blog/2023_1).Custom look-up display column for MapsBy default, a marker uses the tables' look-up display as a label in the Maps component.Now, it is also possible to use a custom label for markers. 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

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2022.220221221 - Updated OpenID provisioning procedure Provisioning of new users will no longer cause issues when the default tenant is used, no tenant is matched via the claim or claim value mapping and user groups of the default tenant are mapped.    Existing provisioned users will now be moved to the default tenant if the user template does not result in a tenant being matched via the claim or claim value mapping. This in turn will cause the correct user groups to be mapped which are part of this default default tenant. SF 2023.120221223 - Validation code fix for 3 validations There were 3 validations regarding control procedures with status development/review/disapproved, that did not provide a value for mandatory columns. This resulted in an error executing these validations. This has been fixed by providing the required values.  

The new platform release is here, and what a release it is!To improve performance and reduce data storage, we completely changed the way version control is handled in the Software Factory.This really is a major change. It offers a lot of benefits but affects many screens and processes. Read all detailed release notes in the Thinkwise Docs.In this summary of the release notes, you will read about the key features of the version control and some other highlights.A major change in version control 'Project' and 'project version' renamed Branches and model versions (point in time) Branching and merging Some other highlights Domain input constraints New process actions Scheduler formalized Support for Azure Blob storage and SAS token Smoke tests Questions or suggestions? A major change in version controlUp to the 2022.2 release, version control in the Software Factory was handled by creating a copy of an entire model as a project version. This had a major drawback: since changes make up only a minor percentage of the entire model, all the other unnecessarily copied data made the Software Factory databases grow over time and become slower due to their size.To solve this problem, we will handle version control from now on by using temporal tables. These tables, also known as system-versioned tables, are a database feature that brings built-in support for providing historical data. It means that only the latest version of every project will be stored, and all old data will be moved to history tables. This way, data modifications will be stored only once. The historical data can be accessed whenever required by requesting them for a specific time in the past.The use of temporal tables offers great benefits:The main benefit is performance improvement by separating the operational data in the Software Factory from the non-operational data. Less operational data needs to be called upon when, for example, copying a project or branching/merging. It is no longer needed to store massive amounts of unnecessary data. Less risk that a developer accidentally modifies an earlier version of the model because they will always be working on the most recent version.The decision to use temporal tables has affected quite some screens and processes. We'll name a few here. 'Project' and 'project version' renamedIn the Software Factory, a project used to be similar to a model. However, outside the Software Factory, a project can be much more than just the application or part of an application being built.Since the Thinkwise platform is based on model-driven software development, we have decided to replace the term Project with Model. For example, the menu item Project overview is now called Model overview. To prevent confusion due to this change, the menu item Full model has been renamed to Model content. This better covers the core of the Software Factory and prevents confusion about how the word 'project' is used in daily life.‘Model’ instead of ‘Project’ Branches and model versions (point in time)Implementation of temporal tables means it is no longer required to copy all model data into a new project version to save a specific point in time. This means that project versions as we used to know them will cease to exist in the 2023.1 release.Instead, we will start using branches. These are versions of the same model that can differ from each other. Every model will have at least a MAIN branch and can contain one or more additional branches based on a specific point in time in the past.Within a branch, you can mark the situation at any point in time (except for the future) as a model version. This is similar to the branching model used in GIT, where branches are effectively a pointer to a snapshot of your changes.When necessary, you can compare two model versions, for example, between two branches or two points of time within one branch. It is also possible to mark a model version with a name for easy communication.A Model overview with branches Branching and mergingThe use of branches also changes the branching and merging processes. In the new situation, branching and merging consist of the following steps:When you create a new branch, it is no longer a stand-alone project branch but a branch within the model. You can base it on the current point in time, a specific point in time, or select a specific model version. The origin is tagged with the current point in time, and the branch is copied from that point in time. Create a branch from a point in time or a model versionWhen you create a merge session, changes are determined by comparing the situation at the origin point in time vs. the current point in time (i.e., the moment when the merge session started). When you execute the merge session, only changes from either the source or the origin are executed.To resolve conflicts, there are  now two situations, each with its own resolutions.The first situation is when an entity has been inserted in both the origin and the branch. In that case, you can choose not only what to do with the conflict actions but also with the dependent actions.In the other situation, an entity has been deleted or updated in both the origin and the branch or deleted in one and updated in the other branch. For these types of conflicts, you can choose what to do with the conflict action (not the dependent action). For example, when the ‘delete’ action of a table is chosen, the table is no longer available, so column ‘insert’ or ‘update’ actions cannot be executed. Some other highlights Domain input constraintsCommunity idea  Universal GUI Windows GUI with IndiciumWhen creating domains, it was already possible to add some static constraints (minimum and maximum values or lengths, and a pre-defined selection (Elements)). These constraints are applied to the database (stored data will be checked). Data is also checked by the UI and the API. However, if a domain is used in, for example, a view or a task, a static database constraint cannot be applied, though the UI and API will still check the input.Now, input constraints are available as a feature. This makes the Thinkwise Platform even more low code.An Input constraint is a more dynamic extension of a domain constraint. It is a simple check on entered data at the domain level, similar to the minimum and maximum values or lengths. Data stored on the database will not be checked, but the UI and API will not accept unallowed input and not process it. Using these constraints, it is no longer necessary to create default or layout procedures to perform these checks. New process actionsWe have added three new process actions:Open link - Opens a URL. By default, the link opens in a new tab in the web browser, but you can change that with an input parameter. It can either wait for a user to complete an action inside the opened link or continue the process flow right after opening the link. You can use this, for example, to direct users to an external payment environment in a new tab. After a successful payment, the process flow will continue inside the application. Merge PDF - Merges files in alphabetical order, as found in the source folder. The output consists of the merged PDF file and a JSON array with the absolute path of all the merged files. Close all documents - Closes all open documents. You can use this action, for example, when switching between different administrations inside your end application. This situation affects all documents, which, therefore, should be closed. Scheduler formalizedUniversal GUITo extend the configuration of the Scheduler component in the Universal GUI, we have made the scheduler a formal part of the Software Factory. The Schedulers screen allows more settings for customizing different scheduler views. In the future, this enables setting up different timescales. At the moment, only the previous heuristic timescales can be limitedly configured.So, the Universal GUI will no longer heuristically configure schedulers but rely on the configured schedulers in the model instead. Support for Azure Blob storage and SAS tokenWe have extended and improved the support for Azure:Azure Blob storage is now a supported file storage location. It is possible to authenticate with a managed identity or by specifying the Tenant id, Client id, and the Client secret. Azure files as a storage type now requires a username/SAS (Shared Access Signature) token combination instead of a username/password combination. The SAS token is required for all new Azure file storage configurations. Existing configurations have not been altered. However, if you clear the username/password for an existing configuration, the password field will be hidden, and the SAS token will become mandatory.  Smoke testsSmoke tests are now available in the Software Factory.Smoke tests are preliminary tests to reveal simple failures severe enough to, for example, reject an upcoming software release. In the Software Factory, you can use smoke tests to ensure a basic quality level of SQL queries in your application. SQL queries that are not placed on the database as application logic may be malformed. Running smoke tests will discover these malformed queries in advance instead of at runtime.The smoke tests also detect editable views without RDBMS editing support, ‘instead-of’ triggers, or handlers. They also detect outdated parameterization of logic, and some forms of outdated dependencies for views, triggers, and stored procedure logic on the database. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we fixed some issues and added support for features in the Thinkwise Platform 2023.1.0 release.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features in the GUI user manual. We will keep you updated regularly about the Windows and Web GUI's progress.Download Windows GUI 2023.1.10 here . Download Web GUI 2023.1.10 here . Minor fixes and tasksWindows GUI - We have fixed a "nullref" error in the Windows GUI. It would occur when the Write file process action did not have an encoding. It now defaults to 'UTF-8', just like Indicium. Web GUI - We have fixed a bug where a detail would not refresh after a Change filters process action changed the parents' filter.

Hello everyone,In this release, we have added support for the Thinkwise Platform release 2023.1. Consult the platform release notes in addition to these for the Upcycler. ContentsNew and changed Data import from every file storage type ‘Project'  and ‘project version’ renamed Branches renamed Questions or suggestions? New and changedData import from every file storage typeWe have added functionality to make data import possible from any file storage type available in the Thinkwise Platform.In IAM, in the application called THINKWISE_UPCYCLER, a file storage location called upcycler_files is available. By default, its file storage type is 'File system'. You can change it to the type you need. ‘Project'  and ‘project version’ renamedIn accordance with the changes in the Software Factory, we have replaced 'project' and 'project version' with 'model' and 'branch' in all the screens in which they were used. Also, in all Generic and Technology scripts, 'project' and 'project_vrs' have been replaced with 'model' and 'branch'.NoteIn two places, you need to replace 'project' and 'project_vrs'  with 'model' and 'branch' yourself, if necessary:In all application-specific scripts (for Upcycler runs, Data import runs, and Enrichment analysis runs). In your own Upcycler scripts. Branches renamedIn the screen *Applications*, the creation branch is now called 'MAIN' instead of 'project version 1.00'.The same applies to the task *Execute enrichment analysis’; the default branch is now called 'MAIN' instead of 'project version 1.00'. Questions or suggestions?Questions or suggestions about the release notes? Let us know in the Thinkwise Community! 

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we improved the use of HTTP methods allowed by the HTTP connector, the Server-Timing response headers, and the performance of the application connector. We also added support for the Thinkwise Platform release 2023.1.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, for example, system flows and OpenID.Download Indicium Basic release 2023.1.10 here. Indicium: for use with the Universal GUI and via APIs. This version uses the full range of Indicium functionality.Download Indicium release 2023.1.10 here. ContentsAbout Indicium Breaking Support for Thinkwise Platform release 2021.1 has ended Indicium - Changed More HTTP methods allowed by the HTTP connector Improved Server-Timing response headers Application Connector performance Minor fixes and tasks  Breaking Support for Thinkwise Platform release 2021.1 has endedIndicium Indicium BasicIn accordance with our Lifecycle Policy, we have ended the support for platform version 2021.1 as of this release. Indicium - Changed More HTTP methods allowed by the HTTP connectorCommunity ideaWe have made a change to the HTTP methods that Indicium accepts as an input parameter value for the HTTP connector.Previously, it would only accept the values listed in our documentation. We have been able to remove this limiter, so it will now attempt to use any value you supply in a process variable as the HTTP method. This allows you to use non-standard methods, such as MERGE. Improved Server-Timing response headersA few months ago, we implemented a feature to return Server-Timing response headers for various operations that Indicium performed internally (most notably I/O related things, like database calls and files). This feature allows you to see which operations constitute the total response time of a request, to pinpoint performance issues.In this release, we have made a change to this feature.Previously, all measurements with the same key were aggregated into a single Server-Timing header. Now, they all get their own Server-Timing. This prevents confusion between something being slow and something being performed many times. Application Connector performanceIn this version, we made the Application Connector smarter. It will now cache the information used to connect to the database. This makes synchronizing to IAM a little bit faster and will cause less database load. Minor fixes and tasksIndicium - When the Move file process action was used in a process flow, it would show an error without moving the files. This has been fixed. We have fixed an issue with the $eager combined with Azure file storage. The $eager parameter allows you to retrieve the data from a table and have Indicium determine the hash value of all the files for the file columns specified in the $eager parameter. This hash value is placed into the download URL that Indicium returns for these files, making these URLs cacheable. The Universal GUI uses this mechanism to cache certain images. If the hash of a file could not be determined it had to be skipped, but due to an issue with Azure file storage, the entire request would fail. This has been fixed.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2021.2 and up20221213 - Updated sql_tsf_optimize procedure In the upcoming 2023.1 version of the Software Factory an improvement was implemented in regards to the sql_tsf_optimize procedure. Since this fix has proven to be beneficially for all product versions, it has also been released for all platform versions that are currently supported. IAM 2022.220221212 - Allow rename-self during oidc provisioning For security, all changes to the user during OIDC login are done under the authority of the users' own account. As a general rule, renaming your own account and deleting your own account is not allowed to prevent problems with session consistency - this would require the user to be logged out immediately.  This logic prevented the OIDC provisioning from completing the rename action.    This has been resolved. Renaming or deleting your own account via the IAM UI is now prevented by disabling the corresponding tasks. Renaming your own account during OIDC login is now allowed.   This problem could occur when an OIDC claim other than the identifying claim is used as User id in the user mapping. A login where the claim used as User id had changed would cause the user to be renamed in IAM.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2021.2 and up 20221207 - Updated delete column task in relation to parent_col Previously when deleting a column from a table, that was also used as the parent column in the tree (Subjects > Components > Tree), the column that it was assigned to as a parent column would also be deleted. Since this was undesirable behavior, this has been updated. When deleting a column that is used as a parent column, this value will simply be emptied on the tree settings of that table. The column which used to have a parent assigned to it will continue to exist and only the parent column is actually deleted. SF 2022.1 and 2022.220221208 - Mismatching parameter count code generation When a template has multiple parameters on a line, the source code generation job in the generation screen will now always generate code with the maximum number of lines based on the available parameters for a line.   Previously, it would generate the number of lines based on the number of occurrences of the last (alphabetical) parameter. This would cause a discrepancy in generated code between the source code generation process and code generated with the functionality screen.   Generally speaking, parameter count mismatches are erroneous. But when the parameter with fewer occurrences would simply be commented-out, this could cause missing code lines in proper code blocks. SF 2022.2 20221207 - Updated OpenID provisioning procedure When no tenant can be derived from the claim mapping, the user groups will now correctly be created using the default tenant as configured in the user template.

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. Universal GUI version 2022.2.17.0Do 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 2022.2.17 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.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we discontinued the Azure Web GUI, since the regular Web GUI can be used instead. We also fixed some issues.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features, in the GUI user manual. We will keep you updated regularly about the Windows and Web GUI's progress.Download Windows GUI 2022.2.17 here. Download Web GUI 2022.2.17 here. New Azure Web GUI discontinuedWe have stopped releasing the Azure Web GUI as it is no longer necessary.This GUI was introduced because Azure could not handle Crystal Report DLLs, even if the application did not use them. In the Azure Web GUI, these DLLs were removed.Now, the regular Web GUI works fine in Azure environments, so a separate GUI is no longer necessary. Minor fixes and tasksWindows GUI Web GUI We have fixed a bug in the Write file process action. If your Write mode was 'Append file', you selected an encoding type, and set Write preamble to 'yes', the GUI would try to add the encoding to an existing file. Even if that file already contained a preamble. This would corrupt the file. Now, the GUI will check if a file exists. If it does, it will not add a preamble. Windows GUI Web GUI The stroke component in SVG icons was not correctly recolored in relation to its context color. This has been fixed. Now, SVG icons with strokes are displayed as expected. Windows GUI Web GUI We also solved a problem with the value of currentcolor for the stroke color of SVG icons. Windows GUI In the Scheduler, the 'timeline' view type was enabled by default if only one type was available in the settings, even if this was, for example, 'day view' or 'full week view'. Now the view type setting is used correctly. Windows GUI An error occurred if you cleared a search filter without search results. This has been fixed.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have added support for showing the SQL commands when using SQL Server in Azure Application Insights.

This information can provide very interesting information when using the Thinkwise Platform. It used to be visible but was removed by an Application Insights update.To enable this feature, first Application Insights needs to be configured according to our documentation, which can be found here: Setting up Azure application insights.To enable the logging of the SQL Commands, add the following JSON to your appsetings.json: "Telemetry": { "EnableSqlCommandTextLogging": true },After configuring Indicium, it will show the command in Application Insights like in the image below.SQL command in Azure Application Insights OData Service Document endpointIndiciumWe have added support for the OData Service Document. This is a type of metadata document that contains all of the top-level feeds that are exposed for an application model. It can be used by clients to discover the feeds a service offers.Some clients, such as OData Feed that can be used in PowerBI queries, rely on this Service Document.The endpoint for the Service Document of an application is:<application_root>/application.svcExample:https://my_server/indicium/iam/iam/application.svc Message when changing password is not allowedIndiciumWe have added an error message when changing a password is not possible using Indicium. There are several reasons:The account does not have IAM authentication. The account does not have allow password change enabled. The account does not have an e-mail address. Minor fixes and tasksIndicium We have fixed that language and translation keys were treated as case-sensitive in Indicium. Now, if mixed casings are used for language keys or translation object IDs, they will be treated the same and the translations will work as expected. Indicium Indicium Basic The file path for i-net Clear Reports is now read from the correct column in the application model. Indicium Indicium Basic When calling the report server, we made some improvements to the way URL query parameters are escaped. Indicium We have fixed an issue that caused Indicium to be unable to deal with Azure file URLs that included the default port number. Since the Windows and Web GUIs include the default port numbers in the Azure file URLs, this meant that files uploaded by these GUIs could not be downloaded by Indicium.

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.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we have fixed an issue for the Windows GUI.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features, in the GUI user manual.We will keep you updated regularly about the Windows and Web GUI's progress.Download Windows GUI 2022.2.16 here.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we updated the IdentityServer component, we added some query string and template parameters, Azure Active Directory can be used as a pool user, and you can now set the initial password with the Forgot Password function.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.

Contents of this releaseAbout Indicium Breaking IdentityServer component updated Indicium - New New two-factor authentication query string parameter New email template parameters for password reset Use Azure Active Directory as a pool user Set the initial password with the Forgot Password function Indicium - Changed Logging in the Indicium database event log improved Performance improvements Scheduled license refreshes Minor fixes and tasks BreakingIdentityServer component updatedThe IdentityServer component is updated to the latest version. This component is used when you have configured OpenID clients in IAM. There should be no noticeable changes. The refresh and access tokens generated with the previous version will remain valid after the update.Due to license changes for the external IdentityServer component, a maximum of five OpenID clients are allowed after this update. Please contact Thinkwise if you need more than five clients.Indicium - NewNew two-factor authentication query string parameterFor two-factor authentication, we added a new query string parameter. This allows the two-factor authentication flow to be automated through links in the emails sent.The Indicium /account/ui/twoFactor two-factor authentication page has a new twoFactorToken query string parameter. The two-factor authentication email template already had a {twoFactorToken} parameter that sent the token to the user by email, but adding this parameter to the query string allows you to turn it into a hyperlink:/account/ui/twoFactor?twoFactorToken={twoFactorToken}. Using this URL, the user does not need to copy and paste the token.New email template parameters for password resetThe Indicium /account/ui/resetPassword password reset page has two new query string parameters: username and resetToken. The password reset email template already had a {resetToken} parameter, and we added a username parameter. Now, you can turn it into a hyperlink:/account/ui/resetPassword?username={username}&resetToken={resetToken}.Using this URL, the user does not need to enter these two parameters.Use Azure Active Directory as a pool userWe have implemented the ability to use Azure Active Directory users as the database pool user for Indicium. There is one drawback to this feature at the moment: it cannot be used to create a new database using the creation screen in the Software Factory.To use this feature, in the appsettings.json configuration file, set the UseAzureActiveDirectory setting under MetaSourceConnection to true. Optionally, you can set the PoolUsername and PoolPassword parameters as well.If the PoolUserName and PoolPassword are not set, Indicium will use the managed identity which is running the App Service in Azure as the pool user (similar to how it would use the Application Pool Identity for IIS). To enable using the managed identity of the App Service on your Azure SQL Database, add the App Service as a user to the database using the following statements:CREATE USER {APP_SERVICE_NAME} FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER {APP_SERVICE_NAME};Set the initial password with the Forgot Password functionIf you have not yet configured a password a user in IAM, the user can now set their own initial password using the Forgot password feature of Indicium. This feature allows you to reset your password via email.Indicium - ChangedLogging in the Indicium database event log improvedWe have improved the logging of SQL statements for SQL Server in the Indicium database event log. You can access this Indicium database event log from the Indicium landing page. As of this version, we log the entire "exec sp_prepexec" statement, including its parameters, in the database event log. This allows you to view the parameter values and copy and run the SQL statement into your SQL Server Management Studio or Azure Data Studio without having to define the parameters yourself.Performance improvementsIn some situations, Indicium must validate whether a parent record is still available. In this release, we improved the performance of the associated SQL queries. The performance improvement depends on several factors, but we now ensure that only the required columns are selected. The performance improvements will be most noticeable when working on detail screens in the Universal GUI.Scheduled license refreshesA few weeks ago, our license server went down during the weekend, which made it impossible for instances of Indicium to automatically extend licenses. This by itself is not an issue, because Indicium will start extending licenses long before they actually expire. However, it came to our attention that whenever Indicium is unable to extend a license, it retries this so frequently that it causes considerable load on the database server. In this release we have greatly reduced the frequency of retries in order to prevent such performance issues in the future.Minor fixes and tasksIf the Indicium root URL contained a base path segment such as /indicium, the returning @odata.context metadata URL in several Indicium responses was incorrect. The extra segment would then be missing from the metadata URL. This has been fixed. When Indicium is running in Production mode (default), it will not send all database errors/messages to the client, because they might contain sensitive information about the architecture of the database or the network. Nearly all of these messages could be found in the error log, but there were a few that were not logged anywhere. This has now been fixed.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2022.220221103 - OpenID provisioning default value override fix Previously when logging in through the means of OpenID provisioning there were situations where values that were updated manually within IAM, such as first name, surname or gender, would be updated back to their default value the next time those users logged in. Since this was not a desirable situation, this has been changed in such a way that the following options are now possible: The user does not yet exist in IAM: The user is provisioned. For those values that cannot be determined based on the returned claim values, the default static value from either the mapping or the column itself will be used. The user already exists in IAM: The user is updated based on the returned claim values. In the situation that a specific claim value is not present in the returned data set, the following will happen: If said value is already present in the user table (i.e. the field is not empty), it will not be updated. If said value is empty in the user table, it will be updated with the static default value as specified in the OpenID user template or the underlying mapping, which can be present for Tenant, Gender, Language and Time zone.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2022.220221027 - IAM printer and Indicium model refresh Overriding the printer address for a specific application in IAM would not work, because the required information was not provided to Indicium. Additionaly, you would get an error message when trying to reset the override value to the original value. Also, when certain changes are made to an application model, Indicium needs to refresh the model. This did not occur in all required scenarios, because it should also occur when printer or OAuth settings are adjusted.

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. 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 2022.2.15.0Do 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.

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.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we made it possible to add sound files to messages, and we introduced a new extended property that sets the type of prefilters to be applied after a refresh.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features, in the GUI user manual. We will keep you updated regularly about the Windows and Web GUI's progress.Download Windows GUI 2022.2.15 here. Download Web GUI 2022.2.15 here.BreakingOnly locked prefilters are applied after a refreshAs of this version, only locked prefilters are applied by default after an automatic refresh.This is a refresh that occurs for example after a task is finished, or after a detail subject has been edited.Until now, all prefilters were applied after a refresh. To change this default behavior, you can set the new extended property UseOnlyLockedPrefilterForRefresh to No.This extended property specifies that only locked prefilters are applied after an automatic refresh. The default value is Yes. When changed to No, all prefilters will be applied after an automatic refresh.NewWindows GUI performance improvedThe Windows GUI performance has been improved when running on the Indicium Basic application tier.These performance enhancements are especially noticeable in documents with a large data set. Playing audio messagesIf you want to add a sound to your message, you can now upload an Audio file. The file will be played upon receiving the message. The allowed extensions are .wav and .mp3. This feature was introduced earlier but contained some shortcomings.Example of a message with an audio file 

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we added support for generating DevExpress reports on .NET 6, and we have improved our support for Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service).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, for example, system flows and OpenID.Download Indicium Basic release 2022.2.15 here. Indicium: for use with the Universal GUI and via APIs. This version uses the full range of Indicium functionality.Download Indicium release 2022.2.15 here. Contents of this releaseAbout Indicium Indicium - New Support for generating DevExpress reports Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service) support Indicium - Changed Minor fixes and tasksIndicium - NewSupport for generating DevExpress reportsWe have added support for generating DevExpress reports on .NET 6. This allows Indicium to generate reports on Linux. Please note:Reports targeting DB2 data sources are not supported. You must install and update the dependencies mentioned here On Linux, Indicium will use the .NET 6 version of the DevExpress reports plugin by default. Windows will continue to use the .NET Framework 4.7.2 version by default, but you can use the .NET 6 plugin by changing the Runtime app setting to NET:{ "Reporting": { "DevExpress": { "Runtime": "NET" } }}Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service) supportAs of this release, Amazon SNS can be used to call Indicium's standard APIs (for example, tasks, tables, etc.).Until now, Amazon SNS could not call these standard APIs because while Amazon SNS sends JSON messages, it sets the Content-Type header to text/plain, instead of application/json. We have introduced a new middleware that recognizes Amazon SNS requests and changes the text/plain Content-Types to application/json, making them compatible with the Indicium APIs.Indicium - ChangedWe have improved our error logging regarding features that are not supported on some platforms, for example, Linux. The error message now clearly indicates that this is the reason.We have improved Indicium's error logging in several places. The severity, content, and category of many error messages are now more accurate, and these error messages are now easier to parse for Azure Application Insights and AWS CloudWatch. Some additional improvements for AWS CloudWatch will be coming up in the next release.By default, Indicium only allows redirects to its own domain. For OpenID clients, it is also possible to redirect to the URLs that are allowlisted in the OpenID clients.  Finally, redirect URLs can also be allowlisted in IAM's global settings. If Indicium does not accept a redirect URL, then Indicium redirects to its own root URL. This was considered confusing, so we improved our logging to state why a redirect URL was not accepted and how to fix this.Indicium's import API now calls layouts and defaults with @import_mode=1.We updated the description of secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager to clarify their purpose and the implications of deleting them.Minor fixes and tasks[Indicium Basic] In a group of mandatory and mutually exclusive prefilters, when the Look-up state of all filters was set to "Off hidden", Indicium did not show any result. This has been fixed. Now, if no filter is selected, all filters are combined with OR clauses into one statement.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: SF 2022.220221017 - Show correct percentage during synchronization When starting the Generation of synchronization scripts via the Indicium API, the progress of the job can be followed inside the Software Factory in the Synchronization to IAM screen. If this process had no follow-up process, the process would simply finish and leave the screen showing a completed process and a progress of 20%. This could falsely indicate the process hadn't finished, so it has been changed to show 100% upon completion. IAM 2022.220221019 - Pooled OIDC provisioning fix Changes to users in IAM are restricted in such a way that the application pool account used by Indicium needed to be an administrator in IAM to be able to perform OpenID user provisioning. This has been resolved.

Hi everyone!We’ve released the following platform improvements this week: IAM 2021.1 and up20221003 - cardlist translation correction When using a cardlist translation in Universal, the wrong translation was retrieved. Now the correct translation will be retrieved. 20221004 - Copying extended properties When copying a GUI application in IAM, we only included the extended properties in the copy that also existed in the SF model. This was not correct, because it is also possible to manually add extended properties in IAM. You also want to include these extended properties. This has now been fixed. SF 2022.220221005 - Correct user_defined_dttp for upgraded uniqueidentifier domains During the upgrade to platform version 2022.2, a value has been changed in the base table data of "dttp" regarding uniqueidentifier domains. This change has corrected the placement of the uniqueidentifier datatype inside generated source code. Whilst the base data has been corrected, domains that existed pre-upgrade may still have an incorrect value for field user_defined_dttp which causes the domain name to be used inside generated source code rather than the uniqueidentifier datatype. This has been fixed. 20221005 - i_ui views performance optimizations This service update provides optimizations that improve the performance for 3 functions used in the i_ui views: i_ui_col_form, i_ui_task_parmtr and i_ui_report_parmtr.   When starting an end product created with the Thinkwise Platform, the model must be loaded. For the Universal GUI, this is done by using so-called i_ui views. These views load the data in the most efficient way, which is a challenge because the model and amount of data can differ enormously per customer. We always strive to offer a solution that works as well as possible for everyone. SF and IAM 2021.1 and up20221005 - Universal column width adjustment The minimum form column width for Universal GUI has been reduced by omitting the default label width for the form column width calculation. This compensates for the fact that labels are generally shown inside the input fields in Universal GUI. This change increases the data density of the form in the Universal GUI. Input fields in the form will now better match the Windows and Web GUI in width. Click to enlarge This change may have an adverse effect on fields that had their label size set to zero and the resulting available form entry width added to the field width (e.g. 335px). These fields may be reduced to a smaller size compared to their appearance in the Windows and Web GUI. To counter this effect, you can adjust the field width in Subjects to change the minimum form column width in Universal GUI for a certain subject to 335 or adjust this at value at the Default settings to change this globally.

 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. Before trying it out, press 'Clear Cache' on the login screen.

In previous versions, we supported most refresh options for task execution and editing. The refresh row option refreshed the entire subject.Now, the refresh row option is not only supported for tasks, but also after updating a single record.The refresh options for a task are available in menu Processes > Tasks > tab Default/Variants > tab Table tasks > tab Form > tab Table task. The refresh options for a row are available in menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default > tab Settings > tab Performance.Improvement when forgetting your passwordWhen you enter your username in the login screen, and then click Forgot your password?, your username will now be filled in automatically on the next screen.Activate the Maps component from a process flowYou can now activate the Maps component from a process flow. 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. When refreshing a record after an edit, the old values are restored. What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:When selecting or clearing a checkbox in a grid, this change is currently not immediately visible. This will be improved. Process flow action Activate scheduler - With this process flow action you can activate the scheduler component, similar to Activate grid and Activate form. Technical design New HTML Component. Select all records on the current page using the shortcut key Ctrl + A. In a card list, double-clicking a card will execute the corresponding table task, if any. In a grouped tree, double-clicking a tree item will execute the corresponding table task, if any.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we fixed some issues.You can read more about the Windows and Web GUI's features, in the GUI user manual. We will keep you updated regularly about the Windows and Web GUI's progress.Download Windows GUI 2022.2.14 here. Download Web GUI 2022.2.14 here.Minor fixes and tasksWe fixed a compatibility issue related to the 2021.2 platform release and the latest Windows and Web GUIs. When starting the application, this issue caused an error about a sub_flow_modeler key. In the Windows GUI with Indicium Basic, when searching with a 'between' filter between two dates, the start date and end date were not included. This has been fixed.

Hello everyone,In this sprint, we changed the process flow behavior when this flow is marked as Deep linking allowed. Also, we made some logging improvements, and we added a session variable for the actual logged-in user.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, for example, 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 2022.2.14 here. Contents of this releaseAbout Indicium Breaking Process flows behavior when marked as Deep linking allowed Indicium - New Logging improvements New session variable for the actual logged-in user Indicium - Changed Process flow behavior when canceled by the user  BreakingProcess flows behavior when marked as Deep linking allowedProcess flows marked as Deep linking allowed were never intended to be started automatically by their start actions: a task or adding a record should never start the process flow.These process flows were not started automatically in the Thinkwise Windows and Web GUIs, as intended.However, Indicium was inconsistent in this matter and this has been corrected in this release. Deep links must be started via an API call to the process flow itself, which initiates the process flow start action in the GUI. While this was always the intent of the feature, this is a breaking change for Indicium, so please be aware of this change.Indicium - NewLogging improvementsIn this release, we have added more logging functionality to make troubleshooting easier.When a default procedure sets a value for a lookup property that is not hidden from the user, and the value is outside of this user's mandatory lookup prefilters, Indicium would reject this value and set the lookup property to null. Since it was difficult to see why this was happening, we added an error log message for this. All log messages related to process flows now also contain the application ID to which the process flow belongs. This is especially useful when troubleshooting scheduled system flows.New session variable for the actual logged-in userWhen simulating users, you can now use the tsf_original_login session variable to retrieve the user who initially logged in. In this release, you can use this session variable as follows:On SQL Server: select SESSION_CONTEXT(N'tsf_original_login') On Oracle: select sys_context('session_vars', 'tsf_original_login') from dual;Indicium - ChangedProcess flow behavior when canceled by the userIn a process flow, when the first action is a task or report, and the user cancels the popup dialog, until now, the process flow was not started. Indicium will now continue the process flow if the last process action was not successful (marked by a red arrow), and indicates that the result of the task is "User canceled".

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. 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 2022.2.14 BETADo 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 2022.2.14 BETA here  This is a beta release, which can be used to test the new features. This release is not suitable for use in a production environment. The full release will be available this Friday. Contents of this releaseUniversal GUI version 2022.2.14 BETA New Adding a row in a pinned top row of a grid Refresh functionality Improvement when forgetting your password Activate the Maps component from a process flow UI/UX design for advanced filters Other fixes and tasks What we will be working on next sprint NewAdding a row in a pinned top row of a gridAs of this version, in an editable grid, you can now add or copy a row by using a pinned top row.Adding a row in a pinned top row in a grid Refresh functionalityThe refresh functionality has changed. In previous versions, we supported most refresh options for task execution and editing. The refresh row option refreshed the entire subject.Now, the refresh row option is not only supported for tasks, but also after updating a single record.The refresh options for a task are available in menu Processes > Tasks > tab Default/Variants > tab Table tasks > tab Form > tab Table task. The refresh options for a row are available in menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default > tab Settings > tab Performance.Improvement when forgetting your passwordWhen you enter your username in the login screen, and then click Forgot your password?, your username will now be filled in automatically on the next screen.Activate the Maps component from a process flowYou can now activate the Maps component from a process flow. 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.What we will be working on next sprintThe next sprint we will be working on:When selecting or clearing a checkbox in a grid, this change is currently not immediately visible. This will be improved. Process flow action Activate scheduler - With this process flow action you can activate the scheduler component, similar to Activate grid and Activate form. Technical design New HTML Component. Select all records on the current page using the shortcut key Ctrl + A. In a card list, double-clicking a card will execute the corresponding table task, if any. In a grouped tree, double-clicking a tree item will execute the corresponding table task, if any.
