For a detail tab with a fixed amount of rows per parent item I opted for a formlist without a grid (to have radio buttons in a pseudo grid to minimize mouse clicks). The tab has 3 displayed columns. To get all fields in a row I selected "field in next column" for the 2nd and 3rd column in "subjects > components > form". That doesn't work however. To illustrate the problem I made a screen type for this tab with both a formlist and a standard form of the same table, stacked on top of each other. There's only one row in the table. This shows that "field in next column" works in a normal form (bottom) but doesn't work in a formlist (top): The labels of the first and third column are hidden (0 width). Is this a known issue?

I have the following process flow. In this flow I use a Print Report action that saves a report as pdf-file. To make sure that the user doesn't get the "file already exists" dialog. I decided to delete a possibly existing file with the same file name (row dependent) first. Although the process flow looks great 🙂 It doesn't work! What I see happening is, that the pdf-file is created and immediately deleted. Only the last pdf from the collection of records is not deleted. It looks like the Print Report step is executed before the delete file connector has been executed. My first question: How can I prevent the Print Report action from starting before the file has been deleted. I already created a process procedure to control the transition to the next process step, but unfortunately this didn't help either. My second question: Is there another way to prevent the "file already exists" dialog, when overwriting a report?

I'm trying to move our product to the Cloud using this blog post: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/blogs-21/to-the-cloud-leveraging-microsoft-azure-paas-155. I'm facing some difficulties regarding the differences between an on-premise environment (SQL Server and a file system) and Azure (Azure SQL Database and Azure File Storage). To start with, it's the difference in handling files. In the on-premise setting I'm able to upload files and read them using methods in SQL Server like xp_DirTree for reading a directory, and openrowset / bulk insert reading the contents of the file. In an Azure environment this isn't possible. Lets say the steps for the end user are currently as following: The user starts a task where it can upload a file using a 'File upload' control. This upload is bound to an Azure File Storage location, so it'll upload immediately. The user executes the task: The sql procedure of the task is called to process the uploaded file. In example the user uploads a

I want to upload a contract for a employee. The file should be stored in a employee folder on the file server. The domain assigned of the file-upload column contains a predefined network path. This path should be variable depending on the employee name. For example: I upload a contract for the employee "NVP\d.vanleeuwen". The uploaded file should be stored in the following file path: \\fileserver\file_upload\Employee\d.vanleeuwen\contract.pdf In this case the path must be created as follows: \\fileserver\file_upload\Employee\@variable_employee_name\@uploaded_file I've created a domain with control_id "File upload" and a file_storage_id who is linked to a storage location on our file-server (For example: \\fileserver\file_upload\Employee\). I've already tried to write and executed the following code for the insert_trigger of the employee_contract table. Unfortunately this doesn't work because it changes the path but does not move the file. code:-- parameters declarendeclare @us

I'm trying to move an on-premise environment to an Azure environment using this blog post: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/blogs-21/to-the-cloud-leveraging-microsoft-azure-paas-155. I've deployed the product and IAM databases to an Azure SQL database, and the Web GUI also to an Azure App Service (IIS). This works, but I don't know how to get the images of tasks / filters etc. visible. The help document / blog post isn't very useful for me. https://office.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/docs/deployment/web_gui.html#images-are-missing The blog says this: Any files that would be on disk will have to be deployed together with the package. This process is a bit like how mobile applications are deployed and how it is currently done by the Web GUI or Indicium developers. Currently, all files in the application model are files on disk and must be packaged. This would be background pictures, icons and report files. I have no clue about how to deploy / package those resource files, I cann

The SF suite 2019.1 features a validation check "All rights role will become deprecated". It warns a user about the fact that the "all rights" option on a role will be removed in a new version of the SF suite. I was wondering: when this option will be removed, will all the roles, which had this option set tot yes, be converted into a role with full access to every object available within this project (version)?

I have upgraded a project to SF2019.1. I am trying to synchronize to IAM on a different server. Since I do not have a direct connection I am trying to write the synchronization files to disk. Unfortunately I run into an error in the i_sync_project Program object: [Unknown action(Unknown action failed because the specified path is invalid)] I am not sure but I think it may have to do something with one of the warnings in the validation: 'Background picture path is outside the project folder'. This warning is referring to a path specified in the Thinkwise_default theme.: S:\Software_Fabriek\Applicaties\SQLSERVER_SF... I am unable to change the specified path and deleting the theme does not work...it pops up again after generating the definitions.

We have a new server with SQL server 2016 installed. I would like to relocate our Software Factory to the new location. Simultaneously I would like to rename the database. I was able to backup and restore the iam_ont and sf database to the new server. However, I cannot seem to rename the iam_ont database. When I do, the application wants me to login to the 'old name' iam_ont. All logins fail because the 'old name' database no longer exists. Is there a way to do this?

When I want to start my application as a domain user, I get the following message "Cannot open database "..._IAM" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\\user'."

When I start SSMS i can normally logon to the databases. windows2012R2 SQL2008R2 Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have two fields on a screen ( a text field and a radio button) and I clear the fields in the screen. Text field is made empty and the radio button is made null. When I select a value of the radio button, the text field is defaulted with the previous value before clearing the field. This only happens in the mobile app. How can I prevent the mobile app to default the value of a text field when chaning the radio button?

Does anybody know (if possible) how to deploy 2-way authentication via the WEB-login? Like SMS-passcode or Google authenticator?

There are two options: 'directly' or 'advanced options'. Choosing 'directly' causes rows from 15 and 30 (and more... ?) height depending of the content of a cell. To avoid this you need to choose for 'advanced' and set 'Tekstterugloop' off. Apparently this setting is 'on' when you choose 'directly'. Is it possible to change this setting to avoid choosing 'advanced' because of the 3 follow-up screens you have to skip before you can choose 'Voltooien' ?

While implementing an application I have the following challenge: I want to change the look-up of a specific field for a variant separately from the default setting for this subject. Unfortunately the custom look-up is disabled and greyed out in the variant settings. Is there a possibility to change it separately for each variant?

We like to show the contents of interface messages in a previewer control. I found out that this is possible with an expression field, with the formula like below and use a domain with control type HTML. ' body { font-family: Calibri, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; } ' + REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(t1.message_body, '<', '<'), '>', '>'), CHAR(10), ' ') + ' ' It is nice, but it does not fully give the desired output. Any suggestions?

Hello, I have a column in a table with a translation object created for this column. If I open the table in Windows it displays the correct name for the column. If I open the same screen in a mobile app it doesn't show the correct name but shows the original field name. All the other fields are translated well. I don't use a tab variant for this table. Is there an option to add the translation object for the mobile app as well?
