Just updated Indicium to 2026.2.13.1 and this message appears in the log:“No RDBMSType was specified in the "MetaSourceConnection" configuration. It will default to 'SQLServer'. Providing a value will become mandatory in the future.”This did not exists in the .12 version, so it seems to be added. I however cannot find a mention of it in the release notes or the documentation.What are the possible values here and is correct “SQLServer” the casing to use?Please also update the documentation accordingly, so one can find such information even if it is not a mandatory value yet.

Since our upgrade to 2026.2, we have encountered a critical issue with label printing. Labels are unexpectedly printed in Portrait instead of the configured Landscape orientation, causing the output to be cut off.After verifying the report layout, Software Factory settings, and printer driver configurations, we isolated the root cause to Indicium: 2026.2.10: Prints correctly in Landscape 2026.2.11: Incorrectly prints in Portrait 2026.2.12: Incorrectly prints in Portrait As a temporary workaround, we have rolled back to Indicium 2026.2.10. Given that this is an essential continuous production process, could this regression please be investigated so we can safely adopt upcoming Indicium releases?(See attached photo for the cut-off print result) 

I am developing a Thinkwise Custom Component that uses the @thatopen/components package to load IFC files.The package uses web-ifc, which requires WebAssembly to load and process IFC files.The web-ifc.wasm file is successfully requested, but the browser blocks the WebAssembly module from being compiled/instantiated because of the Content Security Policy applied to the Thinkwise application.The following errors occur:wasm streaming compile failed: CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(): Compiling or instantiating WebAssembly module violates the following Content Security Policy directive because 'unsafe-eval' is not an allowed source of script in the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'self'".The package then falls back to ArrayBuffer instantiation:falling back to ArrayBuffer instantiationHowever, this is also blocked:WebAssembly.instantiate(): Compiling or instantiating WebAssembly module violates the following Content Security Policy directive.As a res

Hello, guys. We are migrating from the Web GUI to the Universal GUI. We are making the necessary tests for this and already upgraded the SF from 2024.2 to version 2025.3 and Universal and Indicium to version 2026.2.12.According to the release notes of version 2026.2.11 the filtering on a lookup display column with a data type other than VARCHAR should be working but in our case it is not.The look up display field domain is BIGINT and the field that is being looked up is INT , also the look up is on a table variant.Table variant:Column where the look up is configured:Look up configuration:The issue is: OData query is created with a single quote (‘) and this results in a bad request. If we try the same request but without the single quotes it works properly.Universal/Indicium generated OData query: Self-made query removing the quotes 

Hello,We have a detail table (called “WIP”) that stops displaying because its name is automatically converted to lowercase, possibly after deployments, which breaks the existing reference.Deleting and recreating the reference fixes the issue temporarily.Do you know what could be causing the table name casing to change, and how can we prevent this so the reference remains valid? Is there an alternative solution besides renaming the table to lowercase?  Thank you!

Hello, We have a parent table and a child table linked through parent_id. When the user clicks the Promote task on the parent record, another screen (modal document) opens and displays the child lines linked to that parent.On this screen, we have a Select Line task that should use the data from the currently selected line.The issue occurs when the user clicks Select Line too quickly, before the child lines have finished loading. In this case, the task can use data from another line that is not linked to the selected parent.This can result in incorrect data being selected or processed.Is there a way to prevent the Select Line task from being executed until the child lines are fully loaded and the correct current line is available? (we already have the task unchecked for empty subject, but it is still available for a few seconds when screen is open)   Thank you!

I think everyone here is familiar with tagging systems. The community posts themselves have the feature to add tags.I would love to implement something similar in our Thinkwise application, but am still thinking about what the best UX approach would be.The data structure you would work with is a linking table. However, showing the linking table as a detail tab of the main subject would not provide the smoothest user experience.Here are a few points that I think would have a large effect on UX but might need some “out of the box” solutions within the Thinkwise UI.It would be best if there were a control in the Form that works like the Column Filter. For read-only purposes an expression field works, but for editing this does not exist. It would be great if users can add tags that do not exist yet on the fly. Normally, they would first need to open a pop up of the Tag table and create a new row there, then select it. It would be great if adding tags was part of the same process as creatin

I am building a Universal custom component for a ticket subject. The component renders an Impact x Effort matrix from the DataSet received through the documented custom component postMessage context. The next thing I would like to do is make interaction work with regular Thinkwise components. Ideally, when a user clicks a marker in the custom component, I want to set the current/selected row of the same subject to that ticket, so a normal Form component in the same screen type updates automatically. Is there a documented/supported way for a custom component to tell Universal: select row ticket_id = 4535 for the current subject  or to trigger the same behavior as selecting a row in a Grid/Card list? I know that when you have a grid, i f the current Thinkwise row changes, Universal sends updateDataRow and I could highlight a marker in my custom component matrix (Grid → Custom component). But I want to do it the other way around basically (Custom component → Form). I thought about using a

I am working on implementing the Reporting service Thinkstore solution.I am struggling with two things:How can I run this process flow in my Software Factory environment?The custom schedule is not running. Is this normal for SF branches?There is no API endpoint I can call. Should I turn on deep linking? But this is not possible for generated process flows, so I could try to do it via a DB query or I would need to copy all the dynamic code from this base model and add it manually with adjustments.If I want to trigger this process flow outside of the scheduleWould it work if I migrate it to a subflow? And have it as both a scheduled system flow and a subflow that can be started by a task?Or the other option is through an API call which has the same problem as point nr 1. So, some general advice for testing system flows and some advice for how I could start a generated process flow would be very helpful. Thanks!

Our end users have indicated that lookup fields would be more intuitive if the dropdown list opened automatically as soon as the cursor enters the field.Currently, users must first type at least one character, or enter a space followed by a backspace, before the lookup values become visible.I believe this behavior exists for a reason, but I'm curious how other community members experience it.

Hi there!I have a tab task that opens a floating model document via a process flow. The tab task is triggered by a keyboard shortcut.After closing the model document, the shortcut no longer works. Pressing the key combination does nothing. Running the tab task through the ribbon still works fine, so it looks like focus is not returned to the original document.Two things restore the shortcut:Opening a detail or another screen and navigating back. Adding an open document action at the end of the process flow.The second one isn't usable for me. I reuse the same process flow across multiple variants of the same table, and open document opens the default subject instead of the variant the user came from. Activate document would fit better, but the tab task doesn't pass a document id into the process flow, so I have nothing to target.Two questions:Is this the intended behaviour, or a bug in the focus handling? If intended, how should I return focus to the original document in a flow that run

I recently came across a task that would take a very long time to execute when performed on 1000+ rows at once, not because of the task itself, but because the context was being performed for each row and taking some time. Luckily I could find a way to improve the context, so the wait time is down from minutes to a couple of seconds, but still I think in those couple of seconds to users it might appear that the application is unresponsive and it would be good to show a process is running when a task is being staged.

Hi all,Following our upgrade from Thinkwise 2025.3 to 2026.2, we need to update the community solution: 'Logging data available in the GUI'.To pull the latest solution files from the Thinkstore, we attempted to configure the Personal Access Token (PAT) under Applications > General settings > Web connections (thinkstore_connection) in IAM. However, when entering/saving the token, we receive the following error in IAM:"This environment has not been configured to allow data encryption. Detailed information about configuring data encryption prerequisites can be found in the online documentation."What we already configured in appsettings.json (Indicium): We added the DataSecuritySettings configuration and verified that the IIS Application Pool user has full permissions on the folder:JSON "DataSecuritySettings": { "Storage": { "Mode": "LocalSystem", "LocalSystem": { "StorageLocation": "C:\\Thinkwise\\DataProtectionKeys" } }, "DataProtection": { "Active": true, "E

I am working on a custom component that receives a payload from Thinkwise containing an ApplicationUrl.The custom component uses this ApplicationUrl to fetch data from Thinkwise. However, the ApplicationUrl that is provided in the payload currently points to the IAM metasource by default, while my custom component needs to fetch data from the SF metasource in my development environment.For example, the payload contains something like:ApplicationUrl: https://.../indicium/iam/...but for my custom component I need:ApplicationUrl: https://.../indicium/sf/...I don't want to hardcode or manually replace /iam/ with /sf/ in the custom component, because the component should be reusable across different environments.Is there a Thinkwise configuration or setting that determines which metasource (sf or iam) is used when generating the ApplicationUrl in the payload?If so, what would be the recommended way to configure this so that the custom component receives the correct ApplicationUrl for the en

Hi,I wanted to know if it is still the case as mentioned in Harm’s post that while deep hyperlinks to process flows work in Grid, they do not work in Forms. I have tried it myself and it only works in form if I hold CTRL and click it, but then it also opens a new tab. (Universal GUI  2026.2.12.0.0 )He created a TCP ticket. What is the status of this?We are using it to replace the “open folder” functionality. By changing the browser policy we have made it possible to open links to folders in your file explorer. So, we are close to recreating the folder link exactly as before. The only thing left is that deep hyperlinks do not seem to work in Forms. So then users would have to change to using a task button.

In 2025.3 some smoke tests for a unique primary key on a view could be very slow (timeout). When I leave out the TOP 1 in the statement it performs much better.Is this a known issue?    

I vaguely remember seeing something about that it was possible to have a drop down in the action bar with grouped filters or task. Kind of like the overflow menu.Can’t find anything about this, so did I remember this wrong or dream this up? Or is something like this actually available in one of the newer SF/Universal GUI versions?

Hi, Within DEV express I have built a document that generates an Excel file with multiple tabs. The DEV express report looks like this:The problem I am running into is that in no way I am able to change the names of the tabs in the Excel file. The name is stays OHW overzicht(number) for each tab. I have changed the SheetName and Name of the subreport but the name doesn't change.I have tried adding a script to the Report, but that doesn't work either. My gut says that in some way the tab names are blocked or written over. How do I change the tabs names to the names that I need? Kind regards,Mark

Hi,I’m in the process of testing our Windows GUI apps in the Universal GUI and I noticed that messages seem to display differently: The text is done thru the translation: How can I fix this?

We are running SF 2026.1.11  Recently I started using Copy to clipboard (form) on certain domain entities. I only now encounter the issue that when I want to edit in a grid, the column is not available for new or existing rows. It works fine on tasks and forms, but can't change data in a grid edit?

I am confused: why does a look up most of the times appear as a link, but sometimes as a button on the right of the field?I am looking at the settings of these two columns, but can’t find what would determine this.Another difference is that the link pop up is filtered on the specific record, but the button pop up goes to the row. Since it is not filtered on the row the second can be much slower to load.Is it maybe because of the look up screen type? If it has the grid and form on in one container will it go for the button option instead of the link+filter option?

I am trying to change a file link control, because it is deprecated, to a file upload control.However, the file link opened a folder on the disk. With file upload that does not seem to work.Is it possible to open a folder on the disk from a control?If not, is it possible to open a folder on a disk with the process action open link?From this community post is it correct that there is no option yet to open a folder?https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/file-link-and-universal-open-files-directly-6473

Hi,We are currently transitioning a client from the Windows GUI to the Universal GUI.In the existing situation, reports are generated via tsfreportmailer (gui_code), which is not supported in the Universal GUI. During the transition phase, both GUIs are active, so we need to support both approaches.At the moment, we are experimenting with a process flow that calls Indicium for report generation.What we would like to achieve is a where we can decide, based on the client type, whether to:execute the exesting Windows-specific reporting task, or execute a Universal/Indicium-based reporting taskSo effectively, detect the active GUI..For testing, we tried select app_name(); This returns:Thinkwise Software Factory in the Windows GUI Indicium in the Universal GUIThis seems to work, but it feels a bit implicit.Questions:Is using app_name() the recommended way to distinguish between Windows and Universal GUI? Is there a more robust or supported method (e.g. via session_context or another mechani

Hallo, I have a question regarding database schemas in Thinkwise. Is it possible to use tables from a custom database schema (for example, a schema other than dbo) within a Thinkwise application? If yes, are there any considerations or limitations when using a different schema?What is the recommended approach when using tables from a schema other than dbo ?  Thank youJheng

Is it possible to send a WCF web service request in the MSBIN1 format using the Thinkwise Platform?I have tested a standard Web Connection, but it is unclear whether the MSBIN1 format is supported. Could you please clarify if there is a way to send requests to a WCF service that requires MSBIN1-encoded messages?
