I'm using a task variant to hide some fields in the form when executing the task. But when i execute the task in Universal GUI all fields of the task are still visible in the form (even the indicated hided fields of the variant). The task button is linked to the right task variant. When using the task variant in the Web GUI, the hided fields are hidden (what i was expecting).Any ideas why this isn't working in Universal GUI? Are task variants not implemented in Universal GUI yet?

hi all,  I was wondering, can anyone shine a light on this.  I have a record (shipment - saved). I edit and add a Ship. This ship has some info like time of departure. These field are displayed in my Shipment screen as Expression fields. However, when i Edit Shipment, with the looking glass Add  a new Ship, insert this… the expression fields remain empty until I save the shipment. Is this the normal flow of things? It happens in both web gui and windows gui.  I of course would like the fields to be refreshed after inserting a new ship and connecting it to my shipment (so without the save). Who knows?!  Alex 

To ensure that no duplicate values are entered in specific columns that do not participate in the primary key, you can create a unique constraint. A unique constraint automatically creates a corresponding unique index. Does the SF also give this option?

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a static layer to a map?With a static layer I want to be able to mark an area that is continuously visible, but has no link with the records in the table. The layer must therefore remain visible regardless of the records in the dataset.  

Does anyone knows about a strange behaviour of the calender scheduler tool after the upgrade from the 2018 SF to the 2020 SF.See the screeshots below. The 1st screenshot is our production server. Application generated with the SF 2018.2The 2nd screenshot is the same function generated with the SF of 2020.2.The resources are now columns in stead of rows on the left hand side.The tasks are now columns.The time is transformed to row, which normally are the resources.And normally the time was horizontal - as a zoom-in of the date.But now the date and the time are become columns and rows?   

Does anyone can help me out, starting my end user application ‘against’ the SF.I’m testing the upgrade from the SF 2018 tot the 2020.2 version, but I’m really struggling starting up the end-user APP ‘against’ the SF.In the 2018 version we have several INI files and in 1 of them metasource          = sfserver                   = nlveksa-sql-01database              = saan_sfruntimeconfiguration     = nullauthentication      = mswindowsproject                  = SERPprojectversion       = nulllanguage                 = nlexecutionmode     = developerI read the blopost but this don’t give me a clue how how to accomplish this.I read about the runtime configuration but I don’t see a solution to start the application ‘against’ the SF.I tried a (according the old fashioned way) a new INI and a new shortcut (refering to this new INI) with the following settings.metasource = sf    rdbms = SQLSERVERserver = nlveksa-sql-01project = serpprojectversion =nulldatabase = saan_sf_testlanguage = ENauthen

Is it somehow possible to receive a ‘push’ message via Indicium? E.g. when there's a new file available that a client could download.For example when having a (C#) Windows Service that gets notified when there's new data available which he can download and process further, instead of continuously pulling for new data.

Hi all,Been fighting the resource scheduler now for a few days on the Web gui. Not all going as smooth as I hoped it to be.  Current issue is: I have a resource scheduler that displays a few rows. I want to create a Task button that opens another table as a popup.Is this possible on web from the resource scheduler? I can’t get it running…  Alternative: I could try a workaround with a popup screen type, but same same, I can’t get this running in the resource scheduler.  Any thoughts on this?  Thnx! Alex

Hi, I was wondering what is the best way to deal with timezones? I noticed this comment: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas-18/translating-domain-elements-556?postid=1643#post1643As an ISV our customers are in different timezones. We currently deploy the application via Azure where we use 'UTC' time. But that isn't the locale time of the user / customer.We currently only use time for 'inserted on' and 'modified on' and 'print date' for reports. The times the user sees should not be UTC, but its local time. I was thinking about storing the offset/timezone (sys.time_zone_info) in the customer database and use a helper function to display the local time (bit like https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/development-13/is-there-an-easy-way-to-let-the-sf-handle-timezones-for-one-server-1124). For now that should be sufficient expecting all customer employees being in the same timezone.Input wise we currently don't have any case of saving time-information, but I was wondering if an

Does anyone know if it’s possible to design a list view with for example a row height of 120 pixels where the memo fields in that list are line wrapped.I now see only one line furthermore only the first part of that line.With an alt_enter in the memo field I also don’t see the next line, even if the first text is really small.

I'm trying to get a response from a webservice, located outside our organisation. The site is secure (https), but other than that, the piece of code (dbo.make_soap_http_request in this case) is doing the trick on an internal webservice (http, not secure, Navision webservice).The parameters (url, username, password etc etc) used when executing the instruction below work fine when executed from my or another desktop (no special certificates installed by our IT department) when using SOAP-UI for example).Parameter @http_uri below contains an URL to a secure (https) site.  exec dbo.make_soap_http_request @http_uri , @http_request_method , @soap_request_body , 'http://gateway.integration.volvo.com/soap/1_0/WsMqServices/processMessageRequest' , @username , @password

When I execute the task “Synchronize to IAM” I get the following error:Synchronizing could not be started. User 'Rene W' is synchronizing project 'PROJECT', version '123.4' since 2020-08-31 13:50:09.How can I fix this? The project version is new and I cannot remember that I've started synchronizing before.

Is is possible to refresh a document when switching between tabs (in the web gui)?For example when switching from Functionality to Domains, Domains should be refreshed (when not in edit mode).

If I look at the ‘feature matrix’ in TCP, the TOTP-authentication in not available for Universal.I think Universal will first replace mobile and web. When could we expect this feature?  

So I’m wondering what do you do to get a grip on the SF DB - would love to hear from you what nifty little secrets you do to keep things running smoothly and in tune…The current size of our SF DB is going to pass 100GB anytime soon.What is your size of the SF DB, and how do you maintain it?Do you keep letting it grow or do you drop stuff like branches or projects into an archive or something else maybe to keep the db from growing (too fast)How many branches and projects do you keep track of in the SF DB and do you just delete them when it has reached a certain age or?Do you have import/exports scripts for items ( i.e. projects or branches) that you’d like to share? Do you (re-)import the exports before doing an upgrade and then export it all again and drop the ‘archive overhead’ to make sure you can always ‘reload’ a situation as it was before?How often do you run your statistics? Every new branche or every new project or everyday or three times a day or after every merge or maybe afte

What is the Validation Object Type:SF Validation Object typeFor the Subject → Default → Sort and Filter? I can’t seem to figure out where to find more informatie on this (if there is any). I’d also like to know what the duplicate values mean in the Validation Object Type list.rgds Ricky

Instead of showing the database time, we want the GUI to show the time ‘at timezone’. Is there an easy way to handle this in the Software Factory? Maybe the GUI could handle the datetime at timezone, if we could set the timezone for the database and the timezone for the application (runtime configuration?).     

For example, consider a table purchase_order with a lookup to an address table.The link is made to the PK field of the address table.In the purchase order screen, I want to be able to show fields of the address as separate fields.I know it is possible to work with expression fields, but multiple lookup queries to the same table is not desirable.Concatenate address fields is also not what I want. I really want to be able to display the address fields as separate (read-only) fields in the purchase order table.Ideally, the main table 'purchase_order' will get t1 as an alias and the address table t2 as an alias, etc ..Is there a trick to get this done yet?  

I forgot how to change the application title which is shown during startup, and cannot find the solution in the documentation.  Can anyone tell me? 

I have a table task that is part of an process flow. This task must be hidden because only the process flow must be able to execute this task. When i uncheck the ‘Show task’ setting for the table task the process flow stops working.Is there a good reason why this behaves like this?

Hi,I’ve got a question about a validation message.Since the upgrade to version 2020.1 a validation message appeared which I don’t know how to interpret or solve. The validation says: ‘The cardinality of the look-up is invalid’ It has to do with the appearance of new columns in the look-up chain. I have a table called object_part_service_task, which I want to limit to entries within the table object_component_service_task, so I created a look-up with the key containing system_company_id, object_component_id and service_task_id. The column service_task_id is the look-up column. The table object_component_service_task is limited to entries within the table object_class_service_task and has a look-up relationship with the key: system_company_id, object_type_id, object_class_group_id, object_class_id and service_task_id. This last table has a relationship with the table service_task, which is the table that contains all the service_tasks’ The relationship here is with system_company_id and

Is there a way to assign a zoom window to a double click on a field in a grid?  I have a list of orders and invoices, and I would like to have a zoom window or new tab opened when they double-click on the invoice-number for example. To see the invoice, details and costs.  As an alternative to a list of detail-tabs. 

Hey all,I have a view with 3 prefilters. Is it possible to create a layout proc or ctx proc to toggle the filters on/off?  [1][2][3]If prefilter [1] is active, I want [2] and [3] to be hidden. I do this with ctx procs for print buttons and tasks, but for prefilters I can't get it running. Overlooking something or is this not possible?  Thanks!
