Is it possible to set a default Font and Fontsize on HTML-fields in the application? Default the HTML-editor use: Segoe UI (9) I would like to use as default settings Calibri Light (10).

'Create topic' is hiding in a big blue patch. please make it stand out. My visual processor marks it as a non-descript label.

When you use the Thinkwise Deployment Center for the upgrade of a new released IAM-version the deployment center is asking to specify the application folder path and the path for linking the IAM files (for example: Images and Reports). In the manual there is no explanation how you need to define the correct path. When you give the wrong network path the deployment center will automatically create a new folder with his subfolders. Up to what level do you need to specify these folder path? For example: ....\Software_Factory\Application\ ....\Software_Factory\Application\SQLSERVER_IAM\ ....\Software_Factory\Application\SQLSERVER_IAM\2018.3\

What is the use of the status for requirements? At this point the status of a requirement is always new and does not change during the whole project. It would be nice to have statusses like: In progress - requirement is being worked on. Approved - The key stakeholder has agreed to the requirement and the developer has agreed that it is possible to create Implemented - Code has been designed and is ready for review Verified - The requirement is tested and is functioning correctly Deleted - An approved requirement is deleted. An explanation is needed of why and by whom the decision was made to delete it. Rejected - The requirement is not approved. The why and by whom it has been rejected is relevant. Deprecated - The requirement is no longer in use and has been replaced by a new requirement. It should also be possible to filter out all of the requirements based upon the status. This way you can always refer to a certain requirement that has been deleted or r

I have asked for a tool to convert a RGB color to a value that is used within a Thinkwise application. For other purposes I have used a tool called ColorPic, but the numbers used to store colors when using a Thinkwise application don't match (far from it). It's probably a DevExpress of C# thing Now I am pretty sure I already got an answer pointing to a site or a tool that converts various colors (RGB , HEX and what have you), but I can't remember from whom (or whether it was in TCP, an e-mail or by phone). So if anybody knows of such a tool or a site that does the conversion please share. Colorpic (that can't do the conversion):

After I alter the data on my document, or run a task my bullet point gets a black background. Does someone know how to fix this issue (is there a themes setting?) or is this a GUI issue? This still occurs in the lastest GUI: 2019.3.20

It would be nice to fill in different priorities for the requirements in the SF. Currently you can select this release, next release or future release. But it does not give you the opportunity to select which release you would like the requirement to be added to the application. This makes it possible to do release planning using the requirements for projectmanagement and could be very usefull creating sprints.

I have several courses at 100%. The my courses view dows not show it.

I get you want to gather ideas in the Idea subforum. But why not select that subforum automatically if you select the Idea kind of topic, but make the subforum a subtopic selection, so you can select a topic for the idea. I seem to not understand something since every idea I post is met by a query to repost it as a question...

Because we want to serve our web application and Indicium under separate subdomains I changed our IIS setup. Both applications are now in separate document roots that are added to IIS as separate websites. Each site now has its own bindings (domain and port number). The login page of the web application works. However I now get the following error after every login attempt: There is currently no access to the application definition using the configured settings. Please contact your application manager. This happens both with Windows domain user accounts and SQL Server accounts. I don't understand the reason for this error. The ini file hasn't been changed and still contains the right settings for the database server and the database name. Users have write access to the web folder. I followed the deployment guidelines. What could be the cause of this error? It has worked before this change to a multi site setup.

Is it possible to add a line based on some queried values to the graph view of a cube. See red line in attached image (Excel example).

We plan to develop a new part in our application that we want to deploy as a portal for a selection of our suppliers. Our goal is to have fewer phone calls and less email traffic by allowing suppliers to check our supplier orders in our own database and to easily create packing lists from those orders inside our application through an interface we have yet to design. To accomplish this we will have to open up part of our data model to a new supplier role in IAM. How can we ensure that every supplier gets to see only their data and not that of others? I assume this can be accomplished with hidden pre-filters but perhaps there is a better way. Is there a best practice concerning portals in general and data security?

We have a number of assemblies configured on the current development environment. These assemblies need to be passed on to every development/demo/customer/production environment. Last week we've added the assembly HttpConnector to our current development environment. This assembly was also needed in the multiple demo/customer/production environments. It appears that this assembly wasn't automatically created on the different environments. Whichresulted in errors in a customer/production environment. Besides the above assembly we also have more assemblies that need to be passed on to every environment: SQLTCPExhItemSender HttpConnector Newtonsoft.Json System_Runtime_Serialization Is it possible to configure these assemblies to be part of a deployment process? It also raises the following questions: How do we make the assemblies part of the deployment process and prevent manual work? How do we maintain the original .dll files? How can we apply newer versio

One of our customers has the following questions: Is it possible to automatically to sign into the application by using the 'I am a domain user' function? (web based application) What does the function 'I am a domain user' do exactly? Does this query the Active Directory, on one of our remote servers this functionality does not work properly and we might have to set this up correctly.

When using 'Resume where you left off', the Learning plan navigator disappears. Then if you finish the subject, you need to go to my courses, open the course again, navigate to where you where, etc. Very annoying. Please fix.

In a default-control-procedure we update a record via the linked server, without any problem with the windows app. If we use the same default-control-procedure in the mobile app with get an unkown error. The error occurs during the post of the ExecuteDefault script

One of our customers is using the ‘treeview component’ to browse their catalog. When selecting a category the corresponding products will be show. At the moment it is possible to select multiple categories, yet the products shown are only of the first selected category. Is it possible to disable the multiselect in the treeview? Or, even better, make it so that all the corresponding products are shown?

Today I have moved the development databases to a separate machine. After some fiddling with server names and user accounts all is working again. I took the dev databases on the production server offline and both the SF and our end product via SF load as usual. The ini file for SF also contains the new server name. I also changed the database names to reflect the name of our end product. Let's say the databases used to begin with COMPANY_ where they now start with APPLICATION_. This means the IAM database was renamed from COMPANY_IAM_ONT to APPLICATION_IAM_ONT. The ini files for SF and end product via SF contain these new database names. Starting SF works but IAM of the software factory becomes inaccessible. As soon as I try to open IAM it wants to connect to the old COMPANY_ database. Temporarily changing the IAM database back to COMPANY_ on the database server and in the ini file takes care of the issue. What steps do I need to follow to rename the IAM database without losing a

When I logon to the community and I check the box: "keep me signed in" it will keep me signed in for the day / session. But the next day I have te sign in again, is this by design or a bug?

We have a large trade item table with 2.125.590 records. This table is visible in the application and uses a top 1000 limit (configured via the SF). A user is currently allowed to set a sorting order on 8 different columns. When a user applies a sort order on 1 column it takes up to 16 seconds for the application to show the sorted set. And Excel style filtering can't handle it all. Trying to place a filter via the Excel style filtering on a column header takes so long that I have to force close the application via the Windows Task Manager. What's the best practice for handling these performance issues? I could create a index for every possible sort column (8 in total). But what if a user wants to sort on multiple columns at once? Then the created index no longer covers the query.

When I copy columns in the SF it also copies the value of "Identity". I cannot imagine a situation where you want to have two columns with the same name with "identity" = 1 on different tables / views. In what situation would you want this to be possible?

In this case the form should only be a small status line at the bottom of the screen. There is enough space to show the form, but if I resize the form I get the message "Increase the size of the form to view the data".

The columns are read only, but contain invalid values after copying them from another view. Is it an error in the software factory? Can they just be ignored?

It seems that the image control behaves differently for Andriod devices compared to iOS. On Android devices the option 'Take a Photo' is missing and the photo library opens immediately Any idea how can this be solved?

For a new project we are going to access a third party application through its API system and I am getting familiar with the HTTP connector in process flows. As far as I understand process flows are only ever initiated by users and cannot be run automatically because they live entirely inside the application. They are not stored procedures on the database and thus cannot be scheduled within the database server (SQL Server in our case). Do correct me if I'm wrong here. I browsed through the IAM production database quickly but I didn't find the process flows there. Where are they stored and is it possible to run them on SQL Server directly? If not then we might have to build procedures with API calls in sql instead. Is that generally advisable or is using certain middleware perhaps a better approach? One of the reasons we have to be able to automate certain API calls is because they will fill certain tables for local analysis that is not possible or desirable with the remote applic
