Questions & Conversations

Within Deployment>Creation there are three tabs (Generate definition; Generate source code and Execute source code) in which you can change the values from fields, but at the same time have various buttons with associated tasks.I'm looking to create a screen in which a user can enter data and have buttons to navigate to other screens and/or cancel/save the data (through an associated procedure).What do I need to do to be able model this functionality?

Is it possible to turn on reference column “Transport ID”?  

I want to add a pre-filter in process flow that chooses which rows to print and not to print. Is that possible?  

Since we've upgraded to SF2021.1 I notice that the merge sessions always contain conflicts regarding the columns originated_in_project_id and originated_in_project_vrs_id. This happens for example when a template is removed in a branch and then merged back to the trunk (without any other merge sessions in between).I don't exactly understand why this conflict is there, but it keeps returning. For the example above I've removed a process flow step template, so this one can be resolved choosing the branch value. But I'm not sure if this is intended?

Is it possible to change the title of the pages (Indicium) when i click on “Forgot password?” for example? I'm using the Universal GUI (version 2021.1.11). Now it shows "Thinkwise Identity Provider” in the title bar of the browser tab. I would like to change it to something else.

Within a Screen type you can have multiple Screen components. Here is also a possibility to set Screen component properties.I'd like to know:Which properties are available? What values can they have and what will be the effect of each value? If there is a possibility to define our own screen component properties?

We have a customer which does the maintainance of the reports (Crystal Reports). Since the reports are included in the database, he is not able to edit the reports and replace them in the file location.Is there a way to upload one specific report in the IAM, or does it need a full deploy from our side?

Is there a possibility to filter (e.g. on the resource name) in the resource scheduler?I now have a long list with employees and their availability, but to find an employee you have to search in this very long list. Any suggestions to solve this? Thanks,Peter

In the 2020.2 version subnames can only be approved. They cannot be disapproved or rejected. Or am I looking in a wrong page?I’m in the validation subject in the menu validation tab subnames.There’s only a task approve? 

I have recorded two test cases:Add a specific record; Remove a specific record.The first one is no problem, but the second one wants to remove another record.While recording I've included a step for filtering for that specific record before removing it. It seems that this filtering step is not recorded and reproduced.Two questions:Why is filtering not recorded? How to remove a specific record if you're not able to filter on it?

If I open the Universal GUI (2021.1.12) and IAM is the top most application it automatically switches to dark mode. The dark mode then also applies for other applications. It also applies for the next login session. Why is this, and how can I disable it? This is very annoying. The login dialog is the next time also in dark mode, which is very confusing for some end users.

We've recently updated to SF2021.1 and I noticed the following validation continiously returned:Even when I approved the translations, merged to trunk, created a new branch from the trunk, the new branch also contains this message. I found out the translations are not approved in the base project “GUI_TRANSL”. Is it save to approve them there? I didn't expect to approve new translations according to the upgrade blog. https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/blog/2020/11/26/2021_1.html#upgrade-validations​​​​ 

Hi,I'm trying to set a domain (TINYINT) to a min value of 1 and a max value of 99: https://www.screencast.com/t/zJI2tiePHow does this work in the background? I cannot find any references in the deployment source code and when I do an Update Model in app I can still fill in a value of 0 without getting any error.Any ideas on what I'm missing here? 

Can i change in the row with drag and drop?  

Some columns in a layout procedure of a task are set to “Hide outside form” (<column>_type = 3). This works fine in the Windows GUI, but in the web GUI this is not working. Allthough the columns are not visible, the space in the form is still claimed. This results in very strange forms!Windows GUI 2019.2.17 (this is how it should be):Web GUI 2020.1.14 (strange form like this):Is this a bug?

I have a task with the multirow task execution feature. I noticed the xml variable in the default logic is empty. I really could use it when the user changes an input parameter that applies on all the selected records. Is it intended that this value in the default is empty? 

Is it possible to refresh after drag and drop and not auto refresh after certain time? 

​​​​​Running tasks menu screenWhen you run a task in the background, the GUI comes with the running tasks pop-up window. This is very annoying for the users. This change seems to happen from 2020.2.10 and higher versions. How can this be turned off?   I tried different GUI-versions, right now we are using the newest available GUI (2020.2.15).  

Hi,Is there a way to show which visual object uses which process action? Currently I cannot see which one is which because they all have the same name (Convert JSON to XML) :Also - selecting a visual object does not hilite the process action in the left pane - can I turn that on somewhere?rgds Ricky

Hello everyone,For Main menu I have selectd type Listbar (see picture 1). When I start the application there is the listbar with menu items on the left side and a empty grey area beside the listbar (see picture 2). What I'm looking to accomplish is to put menu tiles(for example: see picture 3) on the grey area let's say most used menu items, but the listbar has to stay and the tiles show beside the listbar on the grey area.Is this possible ? Kind Regards,Timothy picture 1----------------picture 2picture 3 

In the SF you can create a subroutine procedure to create a non-gui task. However, you can also create a task and not create a table task for it. I was wondering in what situation one would use a subroutine procedure over a task without a table task? When using subroutines there are some disadvantages. There are 2 places you need to maintain the logic (in tasks and in subroutines). Functionality can not be shared between tasks and subroutines. Subroutines can not be added to the gui or a process flow. This sometimes leads to new placeholder tasks to give the subroutine some GUI functionality. So therefore i'm wondering what is the added value of the subroutine procedure?

From outside the scheduler (e.g. grid with an appointment date) I want to be able to set the date for the date picker. The scheduler (calendar) should show the tasks for that date.I still want to be able to scroll through the calendar and see all tasks and not only the tasks for that date.  How can I achieve this?  

When you setup your Universal GUI to startup using the Software Factory by default no translations are being loaded.I would like to be able to display my translations when starting the Universal GUI while using the Software Factory as a source. I have seen other people being able to set this up but do not know how.How can you set this up?

We've noticed that loading a DevExpress Report for the first time on the Web GUI hosted on Azure takes a long time (~15 seconds up to some times ~60 seconds) compared with the second time (~4 seconds). We’ve enabled Always on, but it doesn't seem to remember.What does affect this first loading time? And how can we prevent it so it doesn't take 15 seconds for the first user?Is it somehow daily cached, or after a certain amount of time? We see that it only takes a long time to open the first report (i.e. purchase_order), if you open another report also for the first time (i.e. invoice), this is around 4 seconds.We’d like to hear more about the possibilities to improve the user experience, Best Regards,René
