🚀 Ideas to be 10X faster - which SF workaround to eliminate?

Compared to other platforms, Thinkwise really excels in productivity. Especially the fact that creating a Data Model immediately results in a working Application is unparalleled! One of the current strategic priorities is to double down on this development speed of the Thinkwise Platform: we strive to make every Developer a mythical 10X Developer!There are a lot of angles we can work in order to achieve that goal. As a first, we want to fix unnecessary limitation in the Software Factory (SF). This means we want to tackle those things for which you as Developer have to create workarounds to get functionality working the way you(r users) need it.There are a lot of great Ideas out there and of course we'll review the existing ones. But I would also like to call upon the Community to highlight which existing Ideas would be your priority and/or to create new Ideas related to eliminating SF workarounds (please keep it to this scope in this topic).Could you please:Reply with Ideas that would

Auto save Universal form

Hi,We have a view with a auto-edit and auto-save form, we have 1 editable field which is a barcode, after entering a barcode and hitting <tab> (which a barcode scanner does) in universal the focus goes onto the next object and does not save the record, is that intended? (2022.2.14 gui) Focus is on the 3 dots, top right.Also: When entering the screen, I cannot change records because of the form being in edit mode, we first have to cancel the row and select a new row. For us not a big problem for now, but I don't think this is intended?

Show image in grid based on public URL in Universal GUI

How can I show an image in grid based on a public URL? I have a field with a varchar domain and UI control ‘Image link’. When configuring the storage location as storage type ‘AWS S3’ we get exactly what we want, however we want it to work using a public URL instead of an S3 bucket. We have tried ‘File system’ and setting the base path in the ‘path’ definition of the File System configuration. This does not show the image - see screenshot below. Unfortunately the indicium logs do not show anything related to fetching/showing the image/thumbnail. The developer tools show two requests related to the thumbnail. One does a count (no clue why) and the other seems to do something with filtering and returns the extracted file name from the URL and shows the indicator IsInvalid = TRUE probably meaning the file, url or request is invalid:URL:http://server_name/indicium/sf/1111/work_order_view.trade_work_order_kind_normal?useControlBasedFiltering=true&$filter=((subsidiary_id%20eq%201186)%20a

Import Excel-files options

We have some processes developed which import Excel-files, for example for Sales Order creation.This process looks like:Excel-file will be placed on a network-location 1 time per minute a Microsoft SQL Agent job will run and determine if there is a file in the network folder if there is a Excel-file in the folder, some T-SQL code will open this file via an OPENROWSET action (using ACE OLEDB 16.0, and modified registry setting TypeGuessRows from 8 to 1 to support more rows to be analyzed for data type determination)  the data of the excel-file will be stored in a general Import-table a procedure will then analyze the new imported data based on predefined rules per customerSo we have several templates to import for the Sales Orders as several customers want to use their own Excel-file format.Then the issue we have:Now and then (say once per year), the ACE OLEDBD-drive in MS SQL Server will stop working out of a sudden by also providing the following error-message: Cannot initialize the d

How tot use multiple selection per selection field

Currently using SAP ECC 6.0 but om track to a new application build in the SF, we are looking for an alternative for the functionality of multiple selections per selection field. This default SAP functionality gives users the possibility to add multiple values and/or ranges to include or exclude to a specific selection field. Values and ranges can be entered by hand, imported from a text-file or uploaded from the clipboard. Descriptions in Dutch and English are added as attachments.Suggestions are very welcome.

Large amount of background requests running in a loop in the Universal GUI

I'm investigating performance issues we're having in the Universal GUI on some pages. One thing I noticed when checking the affected pages is the large amount of requests being fired constantly while the page is loaded. It's unclear to me why these requests are being fired in what seems to be a continues loop.When checking the Network tab in my browser it recorded over 500 requests in 23 seconds: Does anyone have a hint where I can find the source of these requests?

Best way to link to helptext pages?

In the helptext I want to use hyperlinks to other helptext pages, so that users can easily navigate between related pages. However, the links use the application number (e.g. tsfhelp://helpindex:508/Welcome). When I omit the application number (e.g. tsfhelp://helpindex/Welcome), I found that the helptext doesn’t always use the helptext of the current application, but can instead display the helptext of a different application. Is there a way I can successfully link between helptext pages?

Drag & drop files - Unauthorized error

Hi A couple of weeks ago I implemented the following topic to work in my on premise application. When I tested the drag and drop functionality myself, everything worked fine. This week however, the tester ran into an unauthorized error. After some testing myself I found something weird.When I log into my application via: https://my-appl/universal and I try to upload a file I get the following error:However, when I log in via https://my-appl/indicium and then navigate to https://my-appl/universal my file is uploaded successfully:It seems like that logging in via the universal link doesnt give me the rights to upload a file, while logging into the indicium page does. On both pages, I log in with the same account, so there is no difference there. The upload URL that is used in the javescript code is https://my-appl/indicium/iam/appl/(table_refence). I am struggling to find where the problem lies. My guess is that this has something to do with the server settings of the on premise environm

Logging of API usage

Hi, We have several apps calling Indicium, and using the data. This works fine, but sometimes clients complain about performance. We have a feeling that someone is calling the endpoint a bit too often.. or requesting a bit too much data.What options do I have to see how often someone (an app) is calling certain endpoints, and at what moment? Thanks! Blommetje

Trying to use the window.addEventListener() function in a custom component

Hello everyone,In our custom components I am trying to integrate the event listener so I can switch to dark or light mode depending on what mode our application is in. But the code, which the documentation suggests, does not seem to work. I did the following:We use TypeScript so typing has been added.This is, aside from a few console.warn statements, a copy from what is in the TW docs. This is the suggestion from the TW docs with a few console.warns added so every log pops out.And this is the output of this bit of code: As you can see it does not get into the window.addEventListener. But if I change it to the following I get another result:The result is as follows: It does more, it gives me the console.warns I was after, but I don't get the TW status, which I was expecting. I am fairly certain I am doing something wrong somewhere, what could it be, as I am out of ideas.

Thinkstore Icon Set Bootstrap

Hello,I am currently trying to install the icon set bootstrap thinkstore solution. However i can not get it working in my own model.I am currently following these steps1. Turn model into base model (this might be wrong but if i don’t it does not show up as a linkable model?)2. Link to project.3. Generate project.Error Message:The MERGE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "ref_validation_sf_upgrade_validation_msg". The conflict occurred in database "SF", table "dbo.validation".I have one more thinkstore solution installed the “Application Log“.

SSO & and active status

My customer has configured the SSO with Azure ad as identity provider. So off course, if the user is disabled in the AD, the user can not login the tool. However, the Application Manager of the Thinkwise solution would like to see which users are active or inactive. The filter of active / inactive does filter out users, but we dont know based on what. therefore I'd like to ask for help with the following questions:1 - if a user is disabled in the IDP, is that somewhere registered in the IAM? -- If not, is there some best practise of how to make that happen?2 - What does the filter "in active user” in the user table in the IAM filter for exactly? I thought it was based on the date field, but aparently there are more variables.  Thanks for your help.

Trouble with the pdf previewer & printer

For a label generating application I have created a screen on which the user can modify a label, and directly view a preview of the label. The label gets generated in a separate service (accessed via web connection).The problem is with the pdf display, it is using the default browser pdf viewer, which is not ideal. Some problems I've experienced with it so far are:On edge: the viewer has an editor built in, and on every refresh the displayed pdf becomes smaller (probably to do with the zoom level of the browser).  On brave: the left-side menu is open by default  On chrome: it's not that bad, but it still has much more than I'd like the user to see (download, print, zoom, rotate options). Example on chromeAlternatively I tried displaying the label as a png.This does remove all the extra functionalities we don't need in the preview, but for some reason I can't print a png using the printers in thinkwise, only pdf, is this really the case? So to summarize, 2 main questions:Can I display a

"Report scripts were found in the application while script execution is disabled"

Hello everyone,As reported before by René W: This issue was suddenly not reproducable anymore, but it pops up again in the software. But only on one report, all other reports work fine. Somewhere something has changed but I can't seem to find where. We recently, just before the summer holidays started, upgraded to 2025.2 of the Universal GUI, before that we never had any issues with opening this report.What has changed which may result in this, I cannot seem to find where I need to apply something to get it working again.

File upload API with web connection connector does not work

Goedemiddag community,Een tijdje geleden heb ik de File upload api gebruikt in combinatie met een HTTP connector om een excel te kunnen uploaden en uitlezen. Vanwege security redenen probeer ik nu de HTTP connector uit te faseren en te vervangen met de web connection connector. Hier loop ik helaas tegen problemen aan die ik zelf niet op kan lossen. Om jullie mee te nemen in het proces:    De webconnection kan worden gemaakt want de tokens worden goed uitgegeven op opgehaald:Via postman lukt het om het excel bestand te stagen en te commiten via oath 2.0 waar ik gebruik maak van dezelfde webverbinding als in IAM staat geregisteerd. De webconnection waar die fout gaat:    De processflow logs:  Request URL .. /premium_prolongation(65)/detail_ref_premium_prolongation_premium_prolongation_excel_staging/stage_import?add_new_rows=true Request Method POST Request Headers Authorization: <811 length> User-Agent: Indicium/2025.1.14.0 Content-Type: appl

What’s the best way to filter a dropdown list based on another field’s selection

Hallo, Below is the sample to explain furtherThe value in the Liner field should dynamically update based on the selected Forwarder.Example:If the Forwarder options are: NL, BE, UKAnd the corresponding Liner values are: LinerNL, LinerBE, LinerUK Then, when NL is selected in the Forwarder field, the Liner dropdown should only display LinerNL instead of all available liners. What kind of logic or process should I implement to achieve this? the liner value should change immediately when selecting the Forwarder optionsI already have a column that links each liner to its corresponding forwarder. Thank you.
