When a user leaves the application, I want to add a record in the database. I thought a possible solution might be to create some functionality that calls a procedure when a user exits the application. Is that possible or is there another solution for this?

I would like to set the color to yellow for the marked areas (check out image below), but I can’t find the place to do so. I would also like to make it more obvious to see if the prefilter button is enabled or not. Can that color also be adjusted? Thanks in advance for the effort.

Is it possible to skip validation in IAM by default when synchronizing a model? We still have to solve several validation messages from older development which we simply didn't have the time for yet. Also since we do validation checks in SF of current development we don't really need it in IAM as well.

Is it possible to translate a table variant independent from its parent table?

The extended property ApplicationIcon doesn't seem to work for applications that are run straight from SF database. I set this property in SF under runtime configuration. I also set Animations (no) there which works. Is this a known issue?

Meta question. How do I add tags to my questions/ideas? Or why am I not able to add tags to my questions/ideas?

In a project I work on, we would like to generate scripts for them and create a database named differently than we have. For example: our application/database is called 'Original', now I would like to generate all scripts but change the to-be-created database name to 'Customer' without having to edit the scripts or open them in the SQL Server Management Studio and run them myself. (One-click deployment) Connecting to the database 'Customer', which does not exists yet, will ensure the checkboxes (in the 'Execute source code' step) are checked accordingly. The 'DB' and the 'Create' scripts are checked and the generated script will run on the given database. But sadly the first script does not contain the 'Customer' database name, but the 'Original' name. So an error will occur since it tries to create a database that already exists, or even worse, make a database which will not be used. Where can I change this? I noticed that the Runtime configuration does affect the generati

The knowledge base states that it's possible to put a prefilter on a table variant. I have a base table without any prefilters. I've then created a table variant but I don't have a task in SF to actually enable the prefilter config tab. The only tabs I can create are sort, filter and search. Then how are prefilters added to table variants?

Hello Community, How do I change the size and the font style in a grid? I am trying to build a dashboard and I want the size and the color of the records to be bigger and have more colour. See below for reference. Kind regards, Thijs Holterman

Is it possible to hide these standard report parameters : action/printer/paper source/number of copies ?

We would like to upgrade our Thinkwise suite from version 2017.1 to the latest 2018.3. I've got all the upgrade files ready. Our database names are of the following structure: -APPLICATION_SF_ONT (SF database) -APPLICATION_IAM_ONT (SF end product) -APPLICATION_IAM_PROD (IAM and end product in production) -COMPANY_DATA (company data model for live end product) After ignoring the files for older suites there are 3 large upgrade scripts to be applied to the SF_ONT database. I've tested these on a copy of that database and all upgrades run without issues. After that the process becomes unclear for me however. [QUESTION 1] Do I also apply the files 030_checks.sql, 040_constraints etc to the SF_ONT database? If not, what do I do with these files? [QUESTION 2] After completing the upgrade on a copy of the SF_ONT database (for testing purposes) I would like to run the new SF version off of it. How do I switch to a different SF database so I can actually test if it's running fi

Are there minimum system requirements for Android devices? Would you like to give us feedback? And is there also a best practice on android requirements?

When a template code conflict occurs during a merge session it will be possible the merge the code via an external 'merge' program. TSF requests the existence of a 'merge' program like WinMerge or Kdiff3. I'm not really a fan of either. We always use UltraCompare as a 'merge' program. Is it possible to use UltraCompare as the default 'merge' program? And how do I set this up? I found a page on ultraedit.com which may be of use: https://www.ultraedit.com/support/tutorials-power-tips/ultracompare/version-control-comparison.html

Could someone explain this error message: Something went wrong while processing this report: Ongeldige index. (Uitzondering van HRESULT: 0x8002000B (DISP_E_BADINDEX)) Or, is there an overview of all known error messages?

We have a Reporting Service installed and configured to look at multiple instances/databases (development and test). All records in table rapport_queue are processed for the first connection. When a record is added in the second application, it is not processed by the Reporting Service. After a restart of the service, all records with report_status = 0 are processed correctly. New records will not be processed after a restart. We have uninstalled the Reporting service (3.00) and installed the latest version (3.20) with no different result. What could be the problem? Config: connectionString=" Data Source=CFS-TWDB01\THINKWISE; Initial Catalog=CF_FINAS; Integrated Security=true; User Id=; Password=; Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> connectionString=" Data Source=CFS-TWDB01\TEST; Initial Catalog=CF_FINAS;

When I change the color and font for form buttons in the theme, this doesn’t affect the task buttons. How can I change to color for the task buttons? Especially for the web version (with grey buttons and white text).

Is a separate license necessary for the use of DevExpress Reporting or is this part of the suite? Is a viewer needed or is this standard in the GUI? How can I import a Crystal Report? I do not see an option to import Crystal Reports, as described in the release notes.

Symptom: not able to select rows in the Grid of the Web GUI, while the Windows GUI Grid allows it. Cause: In the SF the "Allow navigation" rights checkbox is disabled for the subject. Explanation: The Web GUI disables navigation between rows overall based on "Allow Navigator". The Windows GUI only uses this setting to disable navigation buttons of form and ribbon. There is an extended property available for the Windows GUI to copy the behaviour of the Web GUI: code:useallownavigationasrights = yes Due to technical difficulties the Web GUI doesn't met the Windows behaviour (yet).

Will there be a Dutch version of the Software Factory?

Sometimes I use a task (button) to start a process flow. The task in itself actually does nothing, it only calls the process flow. For these kind of tasks I use the tasktype ‘Stored procedure’ and leave the template empty. I noticed that there are other tasktypes available that are not described (like ITP Interface). Could one of these tasktypes be a better option here?

Can anyone tell me what control is in use for the embedded browser in the Windows GUI (in the document preview)? I have read that the browser used in winForms is based on IE 4. For one of our features we rely on this browser component, so it would be great to know exactly what we are looking at.

Lately, we’ve received the question from several parties (app suppliers like WerkbonApp) whether it’s possible to realize a connection with them. Because of that, I’ve started some intensive testing with Indicium (2018.1 build 2). While doing this, I’ve encountered several problems and questions that I’d like to submit. 1. Is there another authentication way than Basic Auth.? If so, which one and how can I apply this? 2. Why is it possible to filter by $select, $filter and $orderby separate but not with a combination of these? 3. Why is the $top=10 parameter allowed on a table but not on a view? 4. How can I track down the cause of a problem when the system returns a particular HTTP error code (like the 500 internal server error)? I’m aware of the subfolder Logs from Indicium on the (web)server. Are there any other methods to tackle this problem? 5. Is it possible to request both master and detail records (like organisation and contact) in one response? 6. A few p

I get the following message when calling a report: The RPC server is unavailable. - Do you recognise this message? - Is this possible because there is no printer installed on our server?

If I change the setting of my application (from Dutch to English) the order of the date changes (to month/day/year from day/month/year). Is it possible to change the language with changing the layout of the date fields? I tried using an extended property called CustomDateMask, which has no effect.
