Hi,I have an uat environment for a client with a lot of basic data in it. Now we want to export some of this data to the clients uat environment. When I export this table ‘Function’ to an .xls I get 50 something rows. 9 columns. All as expected. The table is pk  lookup to company_table  (ID)  text text status (ACT) (varchar) Checkbox mandatory 1 or 0  price (numeric) Lookup to Tariff group (ID) Internal or External  (varchar) Checkbox mandatory 1 or 0 When I export the excel and import it, all rows fail. After some toying I found that removing the first row from the xls with the column names resolves a bit. The rows are imported, but only the columns are set. However, the company lookup is not set. The company name exists, so it should lookup I assume. Also, setting the ID from the company_table as a value does not work. But also the checkboxes are not processed correct. The .xls says ‘True’ , but the import sets 0. When I change the value in a 1, it also does not work. Same for the ot

We’ve got a table task that enables our users to delete certain records from a grid. This task is triggered by a double click on the record. The user can then select a task parameter that deletes the record that was used to trigger the task. We then refresh the subject. The user then get’s the following pop-up: Although the message pop-up is not strange, since the selected record was deleted. It’s confusing for our users since the wording is strange and the behaviour was intended.What can we do to prevent this message from triggering? 

We are trying to make the Merge PDF process action work using Azure file storage. To directly save the combined file in azure (or download file). However we get the following error in de Indicium logs:Removing the file extension (.pdf) from the names seemed to have removed this error but doesn’t result in a saved file in Azure or a working Download File process action.For testing purposes I’ve set-up the following process flow:Control: File Upload, Storage location: Azure FilesI’ve found the following 2 sources in information on how to use this:https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_actions#merge-pdf If anybody could help out that would be great!

Just a question, out of perhaps laziness :)Personally I always tend to forget to make a backup before a deployment..  anyone by chance already made a solution for this in the SF and cares to share it?  ..   

Hey all,is it possible to display the whole value instead of displaying it as 15k?We want to display it like this because the user may mistake it as 15kg 

Hey all,is it possible to pass the value of a main combined filter to its detail?if a search is made on WR #, the system must immediately display a result in "available goods" when a result is found   

It seems that the Software Factory doesn't handle deleted objects well in branches that are kept open after merging (tested in SF 2023.1). This is demonstrated with the following scenario:Create branch DEVELOP (from MAIN) Add column X in branch DEVELOP Merge DEVELOP back to MAIN and keep the branch open Delete column X in branch DEVELOP Merge DEVELOP back to MAINThe result in the MAIN with this scenario is that column X still exists in the MAIN after step 5. We assume at step 5 the SF makes a delta from the starting point of the branch with the current state of the MAIN and the current state of the branch and determines that column X was added in the MAIN after creating the branch. However, this is not the result that we want/expect (Column X should not exist in the MAIN after step 5).When the scenario is changed to:Create branch DEVELOP (from MAIN) Add column X in branch DEVELOP Merge DEVELOP back to MAIN (make the branch inactive) Create branch DEVELOP_2 from MAIN Delete column X in

The ‘in combined filter’ is automatically set to 0 when the domain of that column is changed. Is this by design? It is very annoying since this change is most of the time unnoticed and end-user notice that the combined filter doesn’t work correctly anymore.

Hi.With the release of U-GUI 2023.1.18 it was noted that the next release would have drag and drop in a different context. Drag and drop - Drag records from the grid and drop them in a different context. This will not yet allow a drop on a specific record.Was this release the last UGUI release? 2023.2.10 ?  There it says that the next sprint you would start working on drag and drop on a specific record.. In short, I have been trying, but cannot get drag-and-drop to work in the U-GUI. 

Hi, I would like to show a (popup)message when users start the mobile app of our application. Preferably begin the login screen. Any ideas?I know I can start a proces when for example a table opens but I want to do that before that. I don't see an event (like default/layout) when a menu starts or when the app starts.Any ideas are welcome.Thanx for your answers!

Hi,Is this also possible in the web gui? It works well in Universal, but some users type kinda slow and when looking at paper and typing into the app.. the search already begins..  they have to wait a bit. When typing fast, it's not a problem. However, not everyone is fast. https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/universal#delayed-searchThanks! Blommetje 

Hi, For an API POC, I have made a function that returns nested JSON message (using .. for JSON auto .. option) in an NVARCHAR(MAX) datatype. In SSMS, I get a proper formatted JSON message. But when it is exposed via the default indicium ODATA API, the result gets altered to an escaped JSON string. ([x] API, [x] Indicium Basic API)How can I prevent the result being escaped? 

Hi,I was wondering if someone knows of a way to automatically adjust the column width when exporting a DevExpress report to XLS(X). When searching the DevExpress community it looks like it's not possible, but I'm hoping someone found some kind of way to do it anyway!Thanks!

It looks like my Universal GUI is posting stuff to sentry.io. Why is this?A nice conversation with sentry.io 

Hi all,In our solution, we show a pdf file for our users using the preview component. On all devices (desktop, IOS and Android) this is working as expected, except for the default browser on Android : ChromeThe expected behavior is that a preview of the document is shown in the previewer. However, for Chrome on Android the user has to click to open the document.Preview component in Chrome on Android We deliver the mobile application as a easy and accessible solution to show drawings. For us as an ISV, it’s hard to explain our customers that this is not working on Chrome on Android.Options for now areFirefox on Android (as this is working), but that not an easy and accessible solution for the end-user. iOS (Apple) but that’s a choice the customer has to make (and is not up to us as an ISV)In the long run these are not viable options.Are there any other options to show the preview or is there any change this will be fixed in the preview component?

Hi,We have created a lot or Roles. For example, WFP - Task - open Employee.This Roles is needed to fully use the Module WFP. Another client does not use the WFP module, but when creating/defining the user groups, still sees all these Roles. How can I connect Roles to a Module? That if a client not uses (..pays for..) a certain Module, they will never see those Roles. Is this possible, and if so, how?Thanks! Blommetje 

Hi,The release notes Universal GUI (2022.2 14.0) referenced the advanced filters.Is there any news on when this feature will be available? 

Understanding “F1” on a field is complex but a link to “Help” and a generated help with TOC index would be great. Is it possible to get the TSF helptext available in Universal or … is it already possible?

Working on a generic task that needs the name of the current field (and table).Was looking for something like ‘cursor_to_col_id’, but that doesn't seem to be available in a (table) task Am I overlooking something?

Good day,On a screen full of data we have a screen for assigning detail data to the said parent data. The parent  data is assigned to projects. And so is the detail data. The detail data can also be unassigned (so not assigned to a project).I was trying to make a prefilter so only the project with unassigned detail data and the detail data assigned to the current project the user works with is shown. This proved to be difficult. As the detail data does not know about the parent data’s unique ID and project ID. And when I give the data via the reference, only the detail data assigned to the project shows up. This is not the wished outcome.How can I make it so that the detail data assigned to a project is shown only with the project it's assigned with, and when the detail data is unassigned to a project, it is also shown (unasigned detail data needs to be shown to all projects)?So it comes down to the following: I want to show the detail data to a specific project if the detail data is a

Hello,I see something strange. I have added a layout procedure to a task that says that if the status is 'archived', the column must not be editable. Now I expect that the column is no longer editable, what is still possible. And if I change it to a status that is not ‘archived’ then the following error is shown.  

 Hey all,  is it possible to switch the yes and no in the default edit and delete messages 

Hello! It is possible to have in the preview of the document a set number of rows shown? For example: if I have an excel with 100 rows can I only display the first 10 in the preview document screen component?

Hello ! We have the information message 'Column with undecided data sensitivity’ at validation for the columns generated by the trace functionality (created,creator,modifier and modified) .The functionality for those columns is implemented in the dynamic model.We set a type of sesitivity and type of anonymazation ,but after doing a new creation the validation message is back and it looks like the changing were not saved . How can I solve this problem ?

Can we have an expanded description on how we can implement this on the newer version of Thinkwise universal update?
