Hi,Currently we write a html(body) file as the actual email - where we for example want to have a company logo embedded in the email.  (as in <img src=”...”>). Then we start the smtp_connector and use this html(body) as input. For DevExpress this a html(body) content that is provided from a view column. (Which in turn will generate a pdf report with the image embedded).Can you share your best practice for this and how you have implemented these embedded images?(i.e. use an external website (and how do you serve/upload the picture?) or use CID or base64 or ???)ThanksRickyps. The email variant will not embed the picture due to the location of the <img src=”\\somelocalserver\picture.png”>, the DevExpress report will work just fine. changing the location of the picture to say for example https://i.imgur.com/tt5Vrmp.png (as you do for your emails) will surely work for emails but I haven’t checked if this would work for DevExpress reports

We want to access our Universal GUI application from multiple domains and would like to know if this is possible.We have set in our Azure env the FD to handle second domain, and all works ok into seeing the login screen.The Universal GUI however only supports to be configured 1 to 1 in the config.json → serviceurl parameter with the same domain of the url is accessed from.Is it possible that we specify an array of service urls like below ? "serviceUrl": ["https://sub.domain.com/indicium/iam/iam",                 "https://subdomain.azurefd.net/indicium/iam/iam"                ]

We are using SF 2019.1 since a couple of weeks, and in a project I'd like to add one Calculated field (Expression) and use that value in a layout procedure to dertermine wether to show some fields in the form and/or make them mandatory.I could be mistaking, but wasn't this possible in an earlier release of the SF? Now I only can set the field available for a Default procedure. The rest, including the layout procedure, are read-only, If this was available in a previous version of the SF, and I've used it before, than those layout procedures probably won't compile in this version of the SF. If it has always been this way, why not make the Expression fields available to the layout procedure. Taking a possible performance degradation into account is up to the developer. In this case it is a small table, without a view. This way I'm forced to create a view, instead of trigger and what have you...   

Default there are a limited number of fonts available in the SF.How can I add other fonts and where can I obtain those?Is there anything I need to do to synchronize these fonts to IAM or other environments?

I get the impression that it should be possible to automatically start one or more menu-items, tasks or process flows, but have no idea how to do it.For now I want to start with a pop-up that gives the user some information about the application, with a tick-box (lower left corner) that the user can check and prevent the pop-up from showing in the future.Please share with me how to automatically perform such an (or any) action on starting the application. And maybe even configure how to disable this.

In our application we have several tables where we want to select a customer. After pressing ctrl + we can select the customer from a lookup field. We have noticed that on many occasions after typing the first 2 or 3 characters, the field refreshes (?) and the cursor is back at the beginning of the field. That results in the problem that when we want to type 123 the input is 312, see screenshot.We have tried to evade the problem by starting with the focus on a different input field (datefield). To our surprise the focus was set to the customer select field in stead of the date-field. After removing the def-statement that fills the datefield, the focus was on the datefield after pressing ctrl +. In the last situation we also have troubles typing a date: sometimes the webgui doesn't respond to typing anything, sometimes we can enter one character and then it stops.We do not have this problem with the desktop gui. We are using platform 2020.1 and webgui 2021.1.10.0.How do we solve this pr

Is there a page redirect Mechanism within the IAM to place a message when the published application is down, either for maintenance , platform upgrade, application upgrade etc….What I’m looking for is a way not to go manually and replace the index.html file of the Universal GUI with another  that has as an example message  ‘Be Back Soon, we are upgrading our systems’ and then also bounce the App service.Our published application will be accessed from all timezones and keeping such activities to certain time frame will not be possible as there will always be someone wanting to access the App.

In the testing phase of SF 2021.1 we tried to change a process flow from using the DB connector to the new Application Connector. However, we don't seem to get this working.See the process flow below.When calling the process flow via a POST from Insomnia, we see no results. The process flow stops at the Application Connector (see screenshot below). We expected to see the next process actions in the Indicum Universal DB event log. The input of the Application Connector is as follows:How does this Application Connector work? Are we missing something?

When creating a domain you must choose the data type. In this case I want to create a Global Unique Identifier (GUID). Clicking on the data type lookup I am able to see more details for each data type (figure sorted by type).In this list there are two Data types of Type “Guid”.First question is what is the difference between these Data types?Also what is the meaning of each attribute? And in particular does Calculated mean that columns of this type will not be stored in the database?

Hi,   I have made 2 views (copy) of a table with some data - and would like to perform a search on this.  I have made 2 screen types, one with a filter form and one with a Search form at the top, both have a grid below.   The filter works well. In Subjects i’ve checked ‘Start empty with filter’, so this prevents (I assume..) the loading of the 1000’s of records that are not needed. I filter on a number, and it shows the corresponding lines.  In filter, I expect to load all records, and search for the value, but the button ‘Search’ appears to be dead. Anything I need to check to get this working? What did i miss?   Also, can anyone tell me the difference between a Search and a Filter?  Filter - hides all non-matching values I suspect (but they are there in the background) Search - ?   Trying to figure this out to assure some efficiency.  Thanks for the input!  

The project version has quite a few fields that relate to the OTAP environment. Often a path, database name or other property changes from one environment to the other. Project versions have a status, and some statusses imply one OTAP-environment or another. Would it be a lot of trouble to add OTAP-specific settings at the project level, and declare a project version status for which it is valid? It still means some editing in case of distributed server environments, but it makes some releases easier to manage.

In the process flow definition (of SF 2021.1) two settings are available for an API configuration: API switch and API alias. Our assumption is that these fields need to be configured to start the process flow as an API (Indicium Universal). However when trying to POST to the API alias we receive a 404 (not found) error. Posting (via Insomnia) to the original process flow name as an API does work. What is the purpose of these API fields?

After importing changes in a program object from SSMS back into TSF I get the following message:What does this mean? Why do I get it? And should I be worried?PS I only seem to get it when there are multiple templates in a single control procedure and have multiple program objects in that control procedure.PPS Working in 2021.1 from 20210111

I'm trying to implement the Drop External Row task in a calendar view (scheduler). When I look at the documentation, I can find the fields for the drop_date and the resource_id (see below), but I can't find the field for the name of the task. What name should I use?    

Is there any documentation available explaining how to upload files via Indicium (rel. 2021.1.10).In Fidler I see that a different mechanism is now used, which uses the content-Type: application / octet-stream.How can I get that done from an external application?

Hi, Is it possible to filter a dropdown (lookup) on a result from another dropdown in the same form? I have a form for a ticket. On this form I have a dropdown with departments. When I choose a department, I would like to filter the next dropdown with employees for the selected department. When I use a reference with department_id and employee_id, then the dropdown depends too much on the departments. I want to have a dropdown with all employees if I don’t select a department. Is this possible with a reference, filter, view?Can anyone help me?

In a form I have multiple columns. Behind the field I want to place a question-mark or information-button that leads to column specific help information.How do I do this?

In our application there is a task “Importeren calculatiebestand (CUF-XML)” that should create a master record and multiple detail records based on the given task parameters.  The master record will be created based on the information underneath the header “Standaard optie” and the detail records should be created based on the content of the XML file. The XML data is imported with the following code:  EXEC (' INSERT INTO import_xml ( guid, bron, xml_data, volledige_bestandsnaam, ingevoerd_op, ingevoerd_door, gewijzigd_op, gewijzigd_door ) SELECT ''' + @import_xml_guid + ''', ''CUF'', xmldata, ''' + @bestand + ''', ''' + @datum_tekst + ''', ''' + @gebruikersnaam + ''', ''' + @datum_tekst + ''', ''' + @gebruikersnaam + ''' FROM ( SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (BULK ''' + @bestand + ''' , SINGLE_BLOB) AS

 A client asked me if it is possible to change the width of the task popup in universal.Because I’ve not worked with universal yet, I’d like to ask the question here. 

How do I build a wizard in TSF?

Hi all,We have created a procces flow with a trigger on Edit Row. This to verify if some fields are modified, we check some things in the background. Anyway, in Windows this is all good. However, on WEB we have an unexpected issue (but it could be caused by something else...) Our table is spread on 3 tabs, but when you edit, and switch to another tab, Edit is closed (and all is saved). But I want to be able to edit all tabs, and this Auto saves/closing the Edit mode is annoying for our users.   The process flow that might cause this:Is this the expected behaviour for a process flow on Edit Row in Web? Or is something else going on? Anyone shine a light on this? Much appreciated! Alex   

I'm trying to include a formatted tooltip on a translation. I've seen that HTML-formatting is (or at least was) possible. Unfortunately in my current environment (2021.1 and Windows GUI) this doesn't seem to work.Tooltip in actionJust tried to include </br>, which result is better, but still not an unordered list:Am open to receive suggestions to formatting (un)ordered lists.And if not all formatting is supported to know which ones are.

Hi,The requirement is simple.We have a view where we need to display a note on the screen for the usage of our buttons Tasks.The buttons tasks themselves are only an icon, taken from googles material.io .The note itself is a field of HTML domain and we placed the below:<p>Please contact us <i class="material-icons">contact_mail</i> if having second thoughts on approved <i class="material-icons">thumb_up</i> or disapproved <i class="material-icons">thumb_down</i> planning </p>The result should be something like this:In order to load the images in the note field, we added in the index.html header of the Universal GUI the line as instructed of:<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons"> In order for the images be incorporated within the text as shown in the image above. Unfortunately it is blocked. Any idea why ?

Hi,I am struggling with my first resource scheduler. For a new project I have created the necessary tables for the Resources and the Tasks/Appointments, as described in the Documentation (Resource Scheduler · Thinkwise Docs (thinkwisesoftware.com).So far so good, I have the tasks visible:But I can’t resize, move or double click the appointment, nothing happens. It look likes the scheduler is in Read only or something.These are my Extender settings, and I have also created a Task in the Model for the Resize-action.Resource settingsTask settingsResize actionResize taskScreentypeWhat have I forgotten or did I do wrong? The SF version is 2019.2.

Good afternoon, I am trying to integrate Hotjar with the web application we have built using the Software Factory.Hotjar records user sessions which  in its turn can be used to analyze these sessions.In order to make this work, we had to put a Javascipt code snippet into the <head> tag.All well, until I started to take a look at the recordings: the CSS in these recordings is all messed up after users have logged into our application. In other words, the recording seems to be fine up until the moment users have logged in.I have contacted their support department and they claim that I have to whitelist their IP and/or a particular domain (namely insights.hotjar.com). However, to me this seems to be a strange solution as the log-in screen appears fine in the recordings. P.S. I am not talking about the heatmaps that Hotjar offer (of which I already know that it isn't compatible with SPA's; https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/development-13/heatmaps-851), but I am referring to the
