Filter Concepts - what's your opinion?Blog

Hi everyone!In this blog I want to take you through my thought process regarding the Filter, Sort, and Search functionalities in the Universal GUI. I’m introducing a couple of concepts for which I’m particularly curious to hear your thoughts. IntroductionOver time functionality has been gradually added, each of which has improved the Universal GUI. However, we also notice that it can resulted in a more cluttered and less intuitive user interface where certain elements are hidden or not very user-friendly.Based on my own review, drawing from my experiences and comparing with best practices around Filter, Sort, and Search, I came to the following conclusion:Filters are hidden: The filtering option is not immediately visible and is buried under the … menu. Unclear status of active filters: While filtered results are shown after applying a filter, the positioning of the filter interface is not always intuitive, making it hard to find and unclear whether a filter is currently active. Sort:

🚀 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

Application icon not working

Since some time we don’t see the application icon anymore in the Windows taskbar for the Windows GUI.This is for both the SF as our end-user applications.What we see is: This is already since a longer time, and we didn’t notice it straight away, so don’t know if it's related to some Thinkwise update or Windows update.Also changing the icon in the IAM Global Settings doesn't solve the issue….Any solution for this ?(we are working on the latest WIndows GUI and latest 2024.2 patch)

Automatic data model creation

In our application designing process one person describes the model and of course, a crucial part of the description is the database model drawingWe discuss this and com to a version that can can be creted in the thinkwise SFI would like to know if there is an easy way to jump start this step (looking at the theme developing 10x faster) Two questions: about the ai generation, can please someone tell me what I'm missing? Is there a way to import some kind of database scheme? For example, I experimented with designing with dbdiagram.io/ that can export a creation script fror sql. If we could import that, that would save a considerable amount of time. I did see the option to create an AI generated model (which did not work for me for some reason

DB markup language

We are looking at DBML a DB markup language that grows with you. Is that something that Thinkwise could support? Especially in scenario's you don't start with the Upcycler and you start building data structures together with a client. https://dbml.dbdiagram.io/docs

selecting multiple rows and auto refresh that deselects them again.

I have an api that inserts/updates data on a regular basis (every few seconds it adds a record or updates one.This table is visible in the GUI so I've activated auto refresh with an interval of about 5 seconds.This works fine until the user tries to select multiple rows at the same time…Every 5 seconds the multirow select is deselected and only one remains selected…. I want the user to be able to select multiple rows to be able to fire of a task that does something with each of the selected records…I've tried to get the Refresh behavior to work but after setting the  GridEditUpdateUsingRefreshOption extended property in the SF >  I still cannot see the refresh behavior for the actions After insert, After copy, After update, and After deleteCan someone point me in the correct direction?

Control procedure program code

Hello,  I'd like to understand what value should be set if I would like to have a sequence to execute the process action?From what I know, if the value of the process action is set to 0, it means the action will not be executed.-- Follow-up process actions. The number assigned to them will determine the order in which they are (depth first) executed. A value of null, 0 or a negative value means the process action will not be executed. Here’s an example of my process: in my decision workflow, I want the "Send User" action to execute first, followed by the "Email Connector" or vice versa, what is the depth first order number? where to view this? should I put 1 being the first one to be executed and 2 is the second? and so on...code snippet on decision process to check: if @notification_type = 'both'   begin   set @execute_user_notification_stop = 0 set @Send User = 1 set @Email Connector = 2 end    Thank you in advance

Auto-edit grid can trigger process flow

I am working with a grid where auto-edit is applied. In the documentation (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_actions#add-row) it says the ‘add row’ process flow action should not be triggered, but it does when the row is added by pressing enter when the cursor is at the last column of the grid. Is this a bug? I would like the process action to be triggered when the row is added regardless, but I believe that should not happen as is explained in the documentation. What is the intended behavior here? And is there another way to trigger a process flow action when a row is added on an auto-edit grid?

Application status gets stuck on 'will be taken offline'

Hi, The applications in IAM keep the status: 'will be taken offline’. This has been happening since last week, before that the 'Take application offline’ task would immediately take the application offiline. Does this have any influence on the running application? How do I fix this? Kind regards,Mark

Commit auto-save after switching screens

Hi all,Is it possible to commit the auto-save when all the field of a form are entered or when switching screens?In our application, the auto-save commits every time one column is updated. This is linked to a handler and process flow, so every commit takes some database processing power and time. When users work fast (e.g. click an answer in a combo box and fill in a textbox afterwards), the commit hasn't processed the first action, sometimes resulting in loss of data.In the GIF, you can see I entered 'Ja’ on question 4. When I select the next question, and go back to question 4, the answer is set to ‘Onbepaald’. As far as I know, this is due to the handler and process flow actions.   I want to know if it is possible to only commit the auto-save when a next question/detail is selected, so the screen will only commit once.Thanks in advance.Kind regards,Rick

API request works for basic auth but not for Oauth 2.0

Hi, I am running into a weird issue with an API request. Firstly, I’ve made a client application on my test environment (which is hosted on Azure). Sending both post and get requests work perfectly with the client credentials.After testing on the test environment, I moved on to testing on the acc environment. I have created the client application in the same way as on the test environment. However, the acc environment is hosted on premise. When trying the same api request for the acc environment, I get the following error:Specifically: Bearer error="invalid_token", error_description="The issuer 'https://p2p-acc.tkb.nl/indicium' is invalid". I am trying to figure out how to fix this error, however there is a third party the is in charge of the on premise environment which also cant seem to figure out how this error is solved. Has anyone else ran into this issue? And how did you solve this error?The request does work for a basic auth request, even with the exact same rights as the client

User Notification questions

Hello, Some questions on notification.When a process flow notification is triggered, users can see it upon logging into the system. But if the user is already logged in, how long does it take for the notification to appear for them?                     - I’m experiencing an issue where the notification sometimes appears and sometimes doesn’t if the user are already logged in. What could be the possible reasons for the notification not showing up consistently?  How long does a notification items remain in the Notifications after it’s sent? I’ve noticed that once the status changes to 'Sent', the notification disappears. Is there a configuration setting to retain it for a longer period? or how can I see all previous items?  Additionally, how long does the notification remain visible on the portal? Is there a configuration setting that allows us to adjust the display duration?   Is there a way that I can capture the sent date when the notification is sent and  capture  the statuses (below

204 response status may be treated as error

Hello, We are executing an external request to call a process flow in a custom component. The execution is successful and the process flow is completed, returning a 204 status.    However, the toast / panel notifications displays this error. Do you think this is because the 204 status (no response body content) is treated as an error? Can this be suppressed in any way? Thank you. Best regards,Valentin

Perimeter search on map element

Hello Community, We are trying to implement a radius search on a map element.We have a table with geocoordinates (Lon and Lat), which we can also convert into a geography::Point.For the purpose of planning, I now want to know when I am on a dataset, which datasets from the same table are X kilometers away to do further planning.On the MS-SQL Server side, we know what to do:declare @point geography = geography::Point(<Latitude>, <Longitude>, 4326);SELECT id, geo_pointFROM [table]WHERE @point.STDistance([geo_point]) <= 40000; -- input distance in meters But in the Sofware Factory / Universal GUI we are currently unable to find a solution. Clearly a task with the distance as a parameter and the current geodata of the selected data set. And as a result we could get a list with IDs which data records are within the specified radius. But how do we filter this and how do we prevent everything from being recalculated immediately when the data set is changed? Or are we thinking i

The file storage location is configured for the environment I am on.However, I am getting the following error when trying to open the file:The column that has the storage location is indeed file_name_queue.

How to clear profile_picture & profile_picture_data in IAM using Indicium's API?

 When POSTing, the following works:"profile_picture": { "FileName": "name", "File": "file_data" }So setting a profile picture works. Now I’d like to remove/clear the profile picture of a user. I have tried the following JSON bodies in a PATCH, but none seem to work:{"profile_picture": { "FileName": "", "File": "" }}{"profile_picture": { "FileName": null, "File": null }}{"profile_picture": null}{"profile_picture": ""}{"profile_picture": { "FileName": null }}{"profile_picture": { "FileName": "" }}{"profile_picture": { "File": "" }}{"profile_picture": { "File": null }}{"profile_picture_data": null}How can I clear the columns ‘profile_picture’ & ‘profile_picture_data’ in the usr table in the IAM using a PATCH API call?

task parameter "next column" works in Windows GUI but not in Universal GUI

Hi,I finally was able to fully upgrade to 2025.1 and fix all validations that prevented me from using the Universal GUI (only remaining is the Excel style filtering 🤐).I'm currently testing one of our applications in the Universal GUI and I notice that there is a discrepancy between the Windows- and the Universal GUI while displaying, at least one of my, dialogs:Even though I’ve set in the SF that the edit_unloading (Lossen aanpassen) checkbox should be at the top of the next column it is shown not at the top of the next column in the Universal GUI.I suspect that the Universal GUI uses a maximum height for the dialog and because of that moves the  add_remark group to the next column!?Is there anything I can do to prevent this?But that wouldn't account for this similar situation in the same application: The fact that Universal choose to use 4 columns instead of 3 isn't a real big issue, I only added a “Field in next column” for the first “dagplanpartij” so the GUI is free to pick the 3

Creation doesn't add newly added column

When I started with Thinkwise a few years ago our team was not completely using the Creation steps the way I was taught during the training.For completeness: we usually add a column, table or domain to TW and manually add it to the db using SSMS. The problem is that it is easy to forget to add the correct constraints etc… So periodically I would delete my DEV version and rebuild the db from scratch and then compare (using Redgate SQL compare) DEV to TEST, ACC and PROD.I'm trying to correct that but I keep running into situations that I need to manually alter the existing db.I've started out with a newly generated db for branche A and did some development work on this branchIn branch B I've added a new column to a table and did some development that uses that columnNow I’ve merged A and B to MAIN and made a new branch from MAIN which I'll call branch CWhen I load the new combined branch C I can see that the new column from branch B is existing.But when I run Creation > Generate defin

Multiple double click tasks on subject

I have enabled two tasks with double click on the same subjects. Both tasks are configured with a different double click column. This seems to work as intended (at least when running the Universal GUI directly on the SF).However the SF gives a validation warning that multiple grid double click tasks are not supported (val_multiple_grid_double_click_tab). It says the consequence is that only the first task will be used. I noticed that this validation message doesn’t check the double click column.Could this validation message be outdated or incomplete (not including the double click column)?  I’m using the latest version of the full platform.

Data density in the Universal GUIBlog

During our work on the Universal GUI Styling Update, we’ve had several discussions and deep-dives about topics like the form and grid suggestions of the Styling blog with some of you. In those meetings, and as an extra assignment, we investigated improving the data density of our Universal GUI. A common topic on the Community and during conversations is that predominantly the height of several components demands too much space.Our challenge from the perspective of UX is finding the balance between functional presented data and preventing a visual cluttered interface. We are in the midst of trying to reduce the height of components such as form fields and grid rows, but we also think that we have to look into other options, where data may be offered in a different way.Let’s take a look at the suggestions in order of expected impact. Grid elementsThe current Universal default row height is 36px. We want to bring that down to a default of 28px.On the left, the current Universal Grid (defa
