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
Somehow there is a user that doesn't have access to modelrefresh and the Debugger window. I checked the settings but I am not able to find what is missing. The User has developer rights added (both sf_developer rightsgroup) If I simulate the user I can see it The User has cleared the cash and restarted the browserIs there anyone who might have an idea what this could be or what I am missing?It is the following functionality: I see thisUser sees this:
Just updated Indicium to 2026.2.13.1 and this message appears in the log:“No RDBMSType was specified in the "MetaSourceConnection" configuration. It will default to 'SQLServer'. Providing a value will become mandatory in the future.”This did not exists in the .12 version, so it seems to be added. I however cannot find a mention of it in the release notes or the documentation.What are the possible values here and is correct “SQLServer” the casing to use?Please also update the documentation accordingly, so one can find such information even if it is not a mandatory value yet.
We have a form with settings for customers that is used for 2 types of customer, where one of those is basically a parent to the other. For a lot of fields the rule is that the setting of the parent is valid as long as the field is empty in the form of the child.This works fine, but we would like to be able to show the value that is used for the parent in the form of the child so it is clear which settings are used for the child.I think this basically means we would like to use an expression as the default for the childs form. That way we can show the parent's value without actually having to copy and store the value to the field on the form of the child.
Since our upgrade to 2026.2, we have encountered a critical issue with label printing. Labels are unexpectedly printed in Portrait instead of the configured Landscape orientation, causing the output to be cut off.After verifying the report layout, Software Factory settings, and printer driver configurations, we isolated the root cause to Indicium: 2026.2.10: Prints correctly in Landscape 2026.2.11: Incorrectly prints in Portrait 2026.2.12: Incorrectly prints in Portrait As a temporary workaround, we have rolled back to Indicium 2026.2.10. Given that this is an essential continuous production process, could this regression please be investigated so we can safely adopt upcoming Indicium releases?(See attached photo for the cut-off print result)
The Edit in Grid mode, as we knew it from previous versions, no longer seems to be available. Is there any plan to bring this functionality back?We would very much like to see it return, allowing end users to enable Edit in Grid for specific datasets. The ability to navigate from record to record and modify field values directly within the grid, without having to repeatedly click Save and Edit for each change, was very powerful.This functionality is also missed in the Software Factory, where it provided a much more efficient editing experience.Could you share whether this feature is on the roadmap?
I am developing a Thinkwise Custom Component that uses the @thatopen/components package to load IFC files.The package uses web-ifc, which requires WebAssembly to load and process IFC files.The web-ifc.wasm file is successfully requested, but the browser blocks the WebAssembly module from being compiled/instantiated because of the Content Security Policy applied to the Thinkwise application.The following errors occur:wasm streaming compile failed: CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(): Compiling or instantiating WebAssembly module violates the following Content Security Policy directive because 'unsafe-eval' is not an allowed source of script in the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'self'".The package then falls back to ArrayBuffer instantiation:falling back to ArrayBuffer instantiationHowever, this is also blocked:WebAssembly.instantiate(): Compiling or instantiating WebAssembly module violates the following Content Security Policy directive.As a res
Hello, guys. We are migrating from the Web GUI to the Universal GUI. We are making the necessary tests for this and already upgraded the SF from 2024.2 to version 2025.3 and Universal and Indicium to version 2026.2.12.According to the release notes of version 2026.2.11 the filtering on a lookup display column with a data type other than VARCHAR should be working but in our case it is not.The look up display field domain is BIGINT and the field that is being looked up is INT , also the look up is on a table variant.Table variant:Column where the look up is configured:Look up configuration:The issue is: OData query is created with a single quote (‘) and this results in a bad request. If we try the same request but without the single quotes it works properly.Universal/Indicium generated OData query: Self-made query removing the quotes
Hello,We have a detail table (called “WIP”) that stops displaying because its name is automatically converted to lowercase, possibly after deployments, which breaks the existing reference.Deleting and recreating the reference fixes the issue temporarily.Do you know what could be causing the table name casing to change, and how can we prevent this so the reference remains valid? Is there an alternative solution besides renaming the table to lowercase? Thank you!
Hello, We have a parent table and a child table linked through parent_id. When the user clicks the Promote task on the parent record, another screen (modal document) opens and displays the child lines linked to that parent.On this screen, we have a Select Line task that should use the data from the currently selected line.The issue occurs when the user clicks Select Line too quickly, before the child lines have finished loading. In this case, the task can use data from another line that is not linked to the selected parent.This can result in incorrect data being selected or processed.Is there a way to prevent the Select Line task from being executed until the child lines are fully loaded and the correct current line is available? (we already have the task unchecked for empty subject, but it is still available for a few seconds when screen is open) Thank you!
Hi,I am trying to connect the Thinkwise MCP Server to OpenAI Codex CLI.My environment:Thinkwise Platform / Indicium / Universal UI: 2026.2.12 Codex CLI: 0.142.4I completed the IAM setup (access delegation, client application, client secret, roles and callback URL).The MCP server can be added successfully to Codex, but:codex mcp list→ Status: enabled→ Auth: UnsupportedAnd:codex mcp login thinkwise→ Error: No authorization support detectedThe Thinkwise documentation mentions Claude and other MCP-compatible AI tools, but currently provides setup instructions for Claude Code.Has anyone successfully connected Thinkwise MCP to OpenAI Codex CLI?Is additional OAuth configuration required for Codex, or is the current MCP beta OAuth flow not yet compatible with it?Thanks!
Struggling to even get a tree to shape no matter the options I set, I hope someone could advice me how to get this test scenario to work.I have a view that has the following columns:parent_id child_id grand_child_idAll columns make the PK.In an example this is the data (with lookups): I want to see something like (structure example, formatting is just for clarity):Parent A--Child A----Grand child A----Grand child B--Child C----Grand child CParent B--Child D----Grand child D----Grand child EI have changed the “Tree” settings under “Subject”. I have tried all combinations at “Tree” under “Component”. Chose different options for “Sort” with and without “Group until”.The screen type has the “Tree” as its component.All it ever shows is: Platform 2026.2I have compared it to an older product that still has the Windows GUI where a tree does work, but to no avail.What do I need to set to get the result as desired?
I am building a Universal custom component for a ticket subject. The component renders an Impact x Effort matrix from the DataSet received through the documented custom component postMessage context. The next thing I would like to do is make interaction work with regular Thinkwise components. Ideally, when a user clicks a marker in the custom component, I want to set the current/selected row of the same subject to that ticket, so a normal Form component in the same screen type updates automatically. Is there a documented/supported way for a custom component to tell Universal: select row ticket_id = 4535 for the current subject or to trigger the same behavior as selecting a row in a Grid/Card list? I know that when you have a grid, i f the current Thinkwise row changes, Universal sends updateDataRow and I could highlight a marker in my custom component matrix (Grid → Custom component). But I want to do it the other way around basically (Custom component → Form). I thought about using a
I am working on implementing the Reporting service Thinkstore solution.I am struggling with two things:How can I run this process flow in my Software Factory environment?The custom schedule is not running. Is this normal for SF branches?There is no API endpoint I can call. Should I turn on deep linking? But this is not possible for generated process flows, so I could try to do it via a DB query or I would need to copy all the dynamic code from this base model and add it manually with adjustments.If I want to trigger this process flow outside of the scheduleWould it work if I migrate it to a subflow? And have it as both a scheduled system flow and a subflow that can be started by a task?Or the other option is through an API call which has the same problem as point nr 1. So, some general advice for testing system flows and some advice for how I could start a generated process flow would be very helpful. Thanks!
Our end users have indicated that lookup fields would be more intuitive if the dropdown list opened automatically as soon as the cursor enters the field.Currently, users must first type at least one character, or enter a space followed by a backspace, before the lookup values become visible.I believe this behavior exists for a reason, but I'm curious how other community members experience it.
Hi there!I have a tab task that opens a floating model document via a process flow. The tab task is triggered by a keyboard shortcut.After closing the model document, the shortcut no longer works. Pressing the key combination does nothing. Running the tab task through the ribbon still works fine, so it looks like focus is not returned to the original document.Two things restore the shortcut:Opening a detail or another screen and navigating back. Adding an open document action at the end of the process flow.The second one isn't usable for me. I reuse the same process flow across multiple variants of the same table, and open document opens the default subject instead of the variant the user came from. Activate document would fit better, but the tab task doesn't pass a document id into the process flow, so I have nothing to target.Two questions:Is this the intended behaviour, or a bug in the focus handling? If intended, how should I return focus to the original document in a flow that run
I recently came across a task that would take a very long time to execute when performed on 1000+ rows at once, not because of the task itself, but because the context was being performed for each row and taking some time. Luckily I could find a way to improve the context, so the wait time is down from minutes to a couple of seconds, but still I think in those couple of seconds to users it might appear that the application is unresponsive and it would be good to show a process is running when a task is being staged.
Hi all,Following our upgrade from Thinkwise 2025.3 to 2026.2, we need to update the community solution: 'Logging data available in the GUI'.To pull the latest solution files from the Thinkstore, we attempted to configure the Personal Access Token (PAT) under Applications > General settings > Web connections (thinkstore_connection) in IAM. However, when entering/saving the token, we receive the following error in IAM:"This environment has not been configured to allow data encryption. Detailed information about configuring data encryption prerequisites can be found in the online documentation."What we already configured in appsettings.json (Indicium): We added the DataSecuritySettings configuration and verified that the IIS Application Pool user has full permissions on the folder:JSON "DataSecuritySettings": { "Storage": { "Mode": "LocalSystem", "LocalSystem": { "StorageLocation": "C:\\Thinkwise\\DataProtectionKeys" } }, "DataProtection": { "Active": true, "E
I am working on a custom component that receives a payload from Thinkwise containing an ApplicationUrl.The custom component uses this ApplicationUrl to fetch data from Thinkwise. However, the ApplicationUrl that is provided in the payload currently points to the IAM metasource by default, while my custom component needs to fetch data from the SF metasource in my development environment.For example, the payload contains something like:ApplicationUrl: https://.../indicium/iam/...but for my custom component I need:ApplicationUrl: https://.../indicium/sf/...I don't want to hardcode or manually replace /iam/ with /sf/ in the custom component, because the component should be reusable across different environments.Is there a Thinkwise configuration or setting that determines which metasource (sf or iam) is used when generating the ApplicationUrl in the payload?If so, what would be the recommended way to configure this so that the custom component receives the correct ApplicationUrl for the en
Hi,I wanted to know if it is still the case as mentioned in Harm’s post that while deep hyperlinks to process flows work in Grid, they do not work in Forms. I have tried it myself and it only works in form if I hold CTRL and click it, but then it also opens a new tab. (Universal GUI 2026.2.12.0.0 )He created a TCP ticket. What is the status of this?We are using it to replace the “open folder” functionality. By changing the browser policy we have made it possible to open links to folders in your file explorer. So, we are close to recreating the folder link exactly as before. The only thing left is that deep hyperlinks do not seem to work in Forms. So then users would have to change to using a task button.
During my validations I got:Process variable has incorrect datatypeOutput returned by the process action may not be converted correctly into the process variable.Change the datatype of the process variable to the correct datatype or use a different process variable as output parameter. An overview of all supported process actions and their datatypes can be found in the documentation. The problem is that it is about the variables that are used as output for the FTP connector (non-file storage). And apperently those expect a certain datatype but I cannot figure out in de docs what datatypes these output parameters expect.Or I’m completely wrong in my assumption that that is what this validation tries to tell me….
In 2025.3 some smoke tests for a unique primary key on a view could be very slow (timeout). When I leave out the TOP 1 in the statement it performs much better.Is this a known issue?
I vaguely remember seeing something about that it was possible to have a drop down in the action bar with grouped filters or task. Kind of like the overflow menu.Can’t find anything about this, so did I remember this wrong or dream this up? Or is something like this actually available in one of the newer SF/Universal GUI versions?
Hi, Within DEV express I have built a document that generates an Excel file with multiple tabs. The DEV express report looks like this:The problem I am running into is that in no way I am able to change the names of the tabs in the Excel file. The name is stays OHW overzicht(number) for each tab. I have changed the SheetName and Name of the subreport but the name doesn't change.I have tried adding a script to the Report, but that doesn't work either. My gut says that in some way the tab names are blocked or written over. How do I change the tabs names to the names that I need? Kind regards,Mark
Hi,I’m in the process of testing our Windows GUI apps in the Universal GUI and I noticed that messages seem to display differently: The text is done thru the translation: How can I fix this?
