Questions & Conversations

Hi all,I have an IAM Db, with my app. We have created all the users and such, all ok. However, the company we deliver to, also wants to have third party users, that can login and see the status of the situation. So super small read only roles. I do not want to get a call from my client, everytime he has a new client that wants access to this view. Can I create an IAM-account for him, with only the option to create a new user, with specified user group etc? I he has access to the full iam; that's just waiting for things to go wrong...

Since a last IAM Sync today our scheduled system flow won't be executed anymore.  Last run was at 2.21: PM (UTC) today but the next run every 3 minutes will be updates, but the task won't be executed.We have both Indicium and Indicium Basic running against this IAM to support both Universal and Windows UI via Indicium.An IIS restart didn't fix the issue, nor a sync of the IAM did fix it.Running IAM 2021.1

In the Web GUI it's possible to use the standard Google Translate (Javascript) function.In the Universal GUI this doesn't seem to work. I'm very curious to know or this is a well-considered choice to ensure the application translations conform to the SF model (human translation) or is this something that has not yet been "integrated"?  Google Translate (Machine translation)  

While reading this conversation I was triggered by a comment from @René W:In an early stage of our product development we've encountered some serious performance degradation by passing to much parameters in default, layout and context logic. Our strategy is to pass only the parameters that are needed.While he referred to the Web GUI, this also got me wondering about performance effects in Universal GUI and we have done some testing with it. So far we haven't been blown away by the difference, nevertheless I am surprised these settings haven't been discussed in our project so far and that I can't find much information about it in the Docs and on the Community.We noticed for example that with the default Subject Column setup (all parameters enabled - see below screenshot), the Layout() procedure is called for every edit in every column. This is most of the time unnecessary for our purpose and therefore unnecessarily utilizing resources. From a perspective of ‘Performance by design’, I ha

Hi, Is it possible to specify a collation for 1 specific column in a table in the model?The default database collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASCurrently we have this special column that really wants be case-sensitive and wants to be unique. The latter can be achieved, but we cannot seem to find a way to make this specific column case sensitive towards the database.I also would like to have the user interface to react to it as it was case insensitive in lookups for example. How can I achieve such functionality? An example is milliohm [mΩ] to meg(a)ohm [МΩ] (or mOhm and MOhm) - the column for such unit has to be unique since they actually really mean a load of difference in resistance, but I want them to be found by the user when typing in any case ‘mohm’. rgds Ricky

Hi,I want to display my fields in a formlist like this: I cannot make this working with the ‘Field number of positions further’ option as suggested in this post  This is because i want to have 2 fields on the left and 1 big one on the right.

Hi,We have a product database in which we like to show the picture of said product ((preferably) straight) from the suppliers website/webserver. Sometimes the supplier had a picture available, but for some reason it is no longer available. In that case we would like to show an alternative (local) picture.Is there a way to know when the request for the suppliers picture has failed (i.e. no content, 404 etc…) and we can action that somehow with a follow up and provide another URL? (i.e. http://myindicium.nl/no_image_available.pngrgds Ricky

Hi, We are looking for suggestions to speed up a first time startup of the application, this is after the application has been installed locally.Currently it looks like it has 2 stages, fetching cache items from the server which takes about 1.5 minutes and then I suppose it is doing something magical with that fetched cache which takes about another 1.5 minutes.When it has done that and we restart the application it only takes like 10 to 20 seconds to startup the application.What can we do/have you done to speed up the initial startup to gain performanceAnd what triggers a reload of the locally stored cache?thanks, Ricky   

Hi,We have a product database in which we force a tab to only show the top 1000 records to overcome performance issues.When adding a record that is outside of that top 1000 filter, the record disappears after confirming the transaction without any notion and shows a whole other record compared to what I’ve just added. (in this case we have a detail tab where we add the record and shows the previously chosen record)Find a record (top 1000 filtered):  Go to detailsAnd add a new record (and watch it disappear and show the previous record with out warning): We’d really like to have the freshly added record remain visible.rgds Ricky

Is it possible to remember the selected rows in a grid after executing a task (with a process flow)?We do have some “multi row” tasks, which would really help the user just to remember the selected rows so they can execute the next task on the same selection.

In the webgui the size of the magniefier glass is different (smaller) than the size of other icons like the telephone number. This results in the following situation, where the ‘Datum’  field is displayed a little to the left when using Field no. of positions further = 0 :  In the desktop/windows gui the size is equal, andf therefore there is no prblem when using the Field no. of positions further = 0 value. I can (probably) solve this by increasing the width of the ‘Datum’ label , but it would be nice if the icons were the same size in the webgui, same as in the windows gui.

HI, Just out of curiosity, how long does it take for the user to generate a pdf report?I have the following infra, all in an Azure wab gui  Task → insert data in rpt_queue/rpt_data -→ calls a .rdl file. Saves files on the disk. A homemade service picks the file up, uploads to Azure File Storage, and returns a uri to the file. → The file is nicely displayed in the previewer. All works well, but the time between clicking the Task and actually seeing the File is somewhere around 50s to a minute. Our client thinks this is way too long. I’m not sure if this can be improved, but perhaps I have a delay somewhere. So; What is a reasonable time for generating a file?Thanks!    

DevExpress Designer provided by ThinkWise is missing features. An example is that it is missing Formatting Rules functionality that the DevExpress has.Why is that? Does ThinkWise have to enable the extra functionality on the Designer tool that is related to Software Factory?I currently have version 18.2 of the DevExpress Designer tool from ThinkWise.This is the missing functionality (go to video 01:38 and onwards):  I am not sure but, it might be related to these links: https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/115548/controls-and-libraries/data-grid/appearance-and-conditional-formattinghttps://docs.devexpress.com/XtraReports/DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReportDesignerExtensions.ShowRibbonDesigner(DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport)https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/1830/controls-and-libraries/pivot-grid/design-time-features/pivotgrid-designer/format-rules-page

Hi, Is it possible to make integration with Here for the maps component?https://wego.here.com/We would plot a route on a map between several points, calculated with different tooling where we integrate with.Thanks in advance.Hendrik-Jan van Dalfsen

For our application JP-Bouwmanagement we are using thirth party Scrive for digital signing documents (PDF). We are using a task and the HTTP connector (via Process Flows).When start the task from the Windows GUI, the Scrive API call is executed properly. All the task parameters that are provided to the HTTP connector are fine. But in the web GUI it fails. Since we do not have the “Process Flow Monitor” available in the web GUI, I have no clue why this fails.What can we do to find out what causes the problem?

Hi,I have some drag/drop interaction, but in this task I also change to Status from ‘Not connected’ to ’Connected’. And because of this the prefilter is not ok anymore, and I want to change this. However, I think this only can be done in a processflow (right?) So, before I build this, I want to know, what will happen with a multirow drag/drop and a processflow?I want  start - task (do all dragged rows) - change prefilter - stop Alex

Hi allI have a fully updated Win10Pro + TW installation version 2021.2When I start TSF everything is fine, but when I start a Win GUI, buttons and tabs are missing until click or hover. See screenshots. Reboot doesn't help. Anyone an idea what is wrong? Jasper 

Using a task we send email messages together with attachment report which is auto generated, using TSFReportMailer. This works fine, our message can be created, along with subject and recipient(s), and even sends an attachment, however, so far only in .pdf-format. According to the documentation, here https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/kb/report_mailer.html#parameters it should be possible to send the attachment in for example .xls format? in our task we added the following task parameter:  We have tried various different setting, so far no luck. please advise, thank you Paul

When I do adbo.tsf_send_message ‘message’, null, 1 -- abort in a task, I get a dialog like this in the Universal GUI:In the WebGUI you'll get something like this:Difference? Cancel versus OK.Why is the Universal giving a Cancel button, and the WebGUI a OK button?With Cancel you'd expect the task to be cancelled, but you don't, you're returned to the task (Press cancel to continue?). It's kind of a acknowledgement, but not a cancel I think.Why is this a Cancel button, and not a OK or “Dismiss” for example?

I've table with 60+ fields and some related tables (parent-child relation). Based on a status in the header table, the record in that table and the related records in the child tables should be made readonly in a layout procedure.Is there option to make this in a ‘simple’ part of code without specifying all the fields separately?Otherwise there is a risk when adding new fields, that these will be missed to make them also readonly.Is this possible with dynamic model? Thanks in advance!

Situation:I have a list of products with a product name. For each customer I have the option to indicate which products are allowed and give this customer-product an alias. With an alias the customer only knows the alias and not the original product name. So the same product for different customers can have different names.A screen for the service desk should show all products (also those that are not connected to a/the customer). When no customer is selected all products are shown with their product names. But when selecting a customer, the products should have a mark if it is available for the selected customer, and when an alias is known for this customer, the product name must be extended by this alias (for instance by + ‘ - ‘ + alias).Question:What options within the SF do I have to get this dynamic display value without having to resort to a view with a cross product between all customers and products (as this can become very large)? 

Why can I only have one condition on a conditional layout? I already came across multiple cases where I wanted to use a conditional layout based on more than 1 condition. For example, to check if an order is too late. You only want to check for orders that are not delivered yet. By doing this, only the not delivered orders get a conditional layout when their expected delivery date is exceeded. Is it possible that we will can query for conditional layouts? or add multiple conditions?

Hi, I run into something weird. I have a table, with the column shipment_id visible. In the table_variant, it is not showing. Although the Components say 'read-only’ or 'Editable’. It just does not show. Other column in the same table variant do hide/re-appear when making changes, so this one column is somehow different. Yet… how? What am I missing here?  Column set to Editable;  Column should be first one visible in this screen.  

Hi, got something I don't understand. When i open <url>/FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/I get;  When I go to;<url>/FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/iam/iamI get (a login screen, and when logged in);When I check in IAM I have an active App;  However, When i call; <url>/FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/iam/344i get→ redirect to http:// (not https) and a 500 error→ If I force https:// i get a timeout error. Also, trying the alias is not working; FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/iam/ff → same issue. When opening; <url>FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/iam/iam/gui_applgives me:  So, the id is found  (the active app is is further down the line..) BUT : Notice the the URI is suddenly changed.I open:<url>.com/FF-OSL-Universal-lab-API/api/iam/iam/gui_appland get;<url>.com/iam/iam/$metadata#gui_appl  Where did my Indicium Universal part of the uri go?! Anyway, any thoughts on this are more than welcome! Been puzzling for quite some hours now. Kind regards, Alex 

Hi, From what I have read, it is possible to use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) in the Windows GUI by initializing it with the Indicium environment. However, I could not find anything about using 2FA in the Web GUI. Is it at all possible to use 2FA in this context? If so, how, and if not, are there any plans to enable this sort of thing?Kind regards, Dries Fransen
