Since 2026.1 we have to use the Software Factory using Universal GUI, which is great! However, I noticed that the Software Factory in Universal is using a listbar instead of a treeview like in the Windows GUI.
I need a lot more clicks to navigate to the right menu items/documents since the list bar closes previously opened menu groups every time you open a new menu group.

Change Universal Software Factory menu from listbar to treeview

+23Hi Marius,
The Universal GUI actually handles List bar menus differently from the old Windows GUI. Whilst the Windows GUI kept the menu groups open, the Universal GUI collapses them and only allows one to be open at a time. Sometimes this is great, sometimes not.
Changing the menu to a tree view would ensure multiple menu groups can be open at the same time.
The Search bar in the menu can be a quick way to find the item you want to open. It reduces the amount of clicks you need to get to the desired menu item.

Unfortunately the menu searchbar is ideal at the moment (in my eyes) compared to what it was before in the SF; I’ve created an Idea for that as well: Clear menu searchbar in Universal GUI after clicking a document in 2026.1 Software Factory | Thinkwise Community 😄
+3He Marius!
We have some great news: the Menu Search is cleared after activating a menu item in the newest Universal UI version.
Also, we are going to offer a shortcut key to instantly move the focus to the Menu Search.
Will this be sufficient for your needs?

Alternative suggestion is to use the newly introduced Favorites feature to reduce the number of clicks:
