🚀 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

Importing Excel files - performance

I tried to import an Excel file using the standard import feature. The excel file contained approximately 8000 rows. The functionality (lay, def etc) is minimal and still it took around 30 minutes to import the entire Excel file. We are using platform version 2025.1.This is not the performance we want/need. It comes down to a little over 4 seconds per row.What can I do to increase the performance?

TSF_dotNET.exe versus TSF_CS.exe

We consider using TSF_dotNET.exe instead of TSF_CS.exe from a network share for starting the Windows GUI in a terminal server setup. This way we want to avoid the growth of the App Data folder. Are there any disadvantages to this idea?

Open (modal) document by calling a deeplink process flow externally with an API

Hello,Based on this post we have found https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/open-a-universal-gui-document-from-an-externa-application-4200?tid=4200&fid=78, we made a deeplink process flow that simply executes a task, then opens a document filtered on a record with a given id.  We tried triggering this process flow externally with an API call inside a Preview component (iframe), and while it is successful, nothing happens. What could the issue be - are we missing something from the POST API call (we include the mandatory necessary id in the request body) or is this due to the component not communicating with the parent page? Best regards,Valentin

OneNote app - start up

Hi,I have a small question. Have developed a functionality to retrieve user's notebooks from Microsoft (OneNote). The onenote itself has two URL in the response body, the one_note_client_url and the one_note_web_url.Have built a view witht he data I need and for the web_url i ve made a column with the domain type as html with something like this "cast('<a href="'+notebook.one_note_client_url+'">' + notebook.display_name + '</a>' as nvarchar(max))”. This works as intended and I can open the notebook in a different tab in browser.The issue I face is whent I want to use the one_note client url wich in technical terms is the same url except that it contains the word "onenote:” at the beggining of the url. I have tried to make it with 2 different domain types, URL and HTML (same as the web_url) and in both cases I get the action blocked by the SF Is something I can do in order for the link to be inserted as it is in browser so the OneNote app would start or it is blocked by the

System flow start at GMT

The system flows are using the GMT time. But if we want a snapshot of the stock every day at 00:01 we run into a problem on switch over to the Daylight saving (DST) time period. In wintertime it’s 1 hr difference. And in Summertime (DST) we have a 2hr difference which will lead the snapshot of the stock is created at 23:00 hr. (If we put 01:00 in the IAM schedule)  Does someone has a solution for this?

Translated login screen

Hi All, I have a couple of questions regarding the translation of the login screen and the images on the login screen. What am I doing wrong?  Translations:I've put my browser to Portuguese and I can see in the dev-tools that its allowing the portugues langues in the header:accept-language: pt-BR,pt;q=0.9,nl;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.6 It only show the English translation, in a very persistent way.cache deleted, etc, but now changes.  ImagesI saw these options in the general settings: Based on the description and the documentation, my obvious expectation would be that these images would be reflected in the GUI. However, accessing the Page via the IAM shows a rather boring log screen:

We have an API that is currently working with an basic authentication. (The call for this API is written in Visual studio (vb.net to be precise)   Using ApiClient As New HttpClient()     Dim URI As Uri = New Uri(RequestURL)     Dim MessageContent As HttpContent     Dim AuthenticationString As String = $"{ApiUserName}:{ApiPassword}"    Dim EncodedAuthenticationString As String =       Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(AuthenticationString))    ApiClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = New        AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", EncodedAuthenticationString)        Dim response As HttpResponseMessage = Await ApiClient.GetAsync(URI)    MessageContent = response.Content    Return Await MessageContent.ReadAsStringAsync()  End Using This is working and I can retrieve data. I have written code before that talked to an API, using a httpclient class that uses an azure secret key, passed along in the http Request header.

Process flow only supports primitive values for api

Hi, before I had a subroutine with a parameter called Units. This would accept value "Units”:["kg”,"cm”].Due to new features I moved this to a process flow, with a web connector. This new process flow now throws an error stating;An invalid value was supplied for process variable 'units'. Only primitive values are allowed.Is it correct that this does not work? I suspect this to be incorrect..oh ohThanks, B

Action Bar Setup

Is it possible to change the sequence of items in the Action bar?  We believe that it would be more logical to have the filter section next to the prefilters and not have the Actions/Tasks in between.Can that be achieved already?

Endpoint failed with 504

Did someone see those 504 errors before? We get time outs when trying to reach 2 endpoints and would like to know how to fix this.  We have 2 endpoints are unreachable (the other endpoints are working well). Those are the sales order lines and stock mutation. Those endpoints are standard Thinkwise. We do not see any strange errors on the application side also the infrastructure developer says everything is working correctly: ‘I have verified that the load balancer associated with the application is operational, and the target group receiving the domain traffic is in a healthy state. I also logged into instance and i can see that ec2 instance is running and healthy.I also  reviewed the associated security groups and firewall configurations. I can confirm that everything appears to be correctly configured and functioning as expected on the AWS side.’

Windows GUI - indicium task staging resource start_commit end_commit

Hi,Coming from Indicium Basic, we currently are working on letting our postman test and performance scripts and runs work like the windows gui version that is compatible with the indicium that is also used by the Universal GUI.We got a large part of executing transactions working, but we encounter some issues with tasks.We are trying to make a task work. The Windows GUI debugger seems to lack information about how it executes a task. According to the responses from indicium when doing a POST request that does a END_COMMIT, it replies that there should be something with a START_COMMIT. The debugger shows nothing of its kind, only the END_COMMIT. Now using fiddler, we could scrape out that (one?) missing request (START_COMMIT) and put it in the postman run. It seems that for some reason every request sends back a 200 status, but the task has not done its job. (Does the GET signal_r request have any influence on the whole transaction/conversation?) Also the documentation on resource stagi

A custom path where the GUI stores a cache of the application definition to increase the startup time.

Extended properties | Thinkwise DocumentationThe entry CachePath has a neat little entry:A custom path where the Windows GUI stores a cache of the application definition to increase the startup time. My best bet is that this is something you would not like to set, because, well, it increases your time waiting on starting up the app right? Now to my probable problem: We’ve got it set to %temp%\awesomeness_app That location is not restricted for reading, writing etc… Can it be that for some time now this is not working anymore, because it (tries to) write its cache in the same directory as where the executable is stored?

Translations in two languages in GUI

Im running a Dutch and English application for our business. Sometimes (cant recreate) we get a mixture of English and Dutch translations, which is a problem. In the near future we’d like to expand our application with the German language, which in turn will make this problem more complex and needs to be solved. However I do not know how to recreate this situation and am therefor writing this topic hoping someone can tell me so I can solve this. I’ve added a screenshot for reference, the message is english the application is dutch. I’ve verified the translation is correct.We are running on the latest version.

Is there a documentation of a list with Thinkwise maintained GUI_TRANS_ base models?

It came to our attention that certain GUI objects were not translated yet for specific languages. Trying to correct these, certain languages were emptied again. Investigating deeper, the source was they were from “Base Models”.This is the list of Base Models we have in our SF:Could one point me to the documentation where it would list what Base Models are (still) maintained by Thinkwise? Or if that does not exist, give me a list?That way I can plan to do some cleanup of the project and patch the translation objects of our project to not be considered generated, but maintained by ourselves.

zip process action returning empty data

I try to implement a zip and download functionality that reads out a folder on azure and zips the files inside that folder.There are the following steps : Decision that either selects the next folder to zip or ends the process when there is no folder left to zip. This decision sets a process variable with the name of the folder. (not shown in the picture) This folder name is used as input for the zip process action. One of the output fields of the zip action is the file_data, which is assigned to a process variable that has the var_binary(max) datatype. This var_binary variable is the used as input for the download action that also takes the filename of the eventual file that is downloaded. The download itself seems to be working as in that a ‘save as’ form is shown with the correct filename that can then be saved on the local machine.However, the file that is created is empty. The zip functionality itself does not give any errors (status code 0 is returned) and the file_data output pa

When I choose the “Fallback value”, it is automatically reset to “Constant value”, even though the column has a fallback value: Selecting “Fallback value”It reset to constant valueThe default “def_tab_data_col_overview” checks if the column actually has a fallback value and resets it to “Constant value”. However it should only reset it when it does NOT have a fallback value. Should be “and NOT exists” imho
