Since the introduction of temporal tables, code history tables are gone. But when we make changes in templates, we sometimes like to simply see the complete code history, also changes made in previous project versions (/ branches).I don't think code the Code Review tab doesn't work that easy. Or do we miss something? 

Hi,In our application, the user selects a row and in the detail tab of that row there are multiple items. When all these items have been completed, the row in the main screen disappears from the view. This leads to issues, as the following error pops up: "Request error: The object cannot be found. You may not have sufficient permissions or the object may have been deleted." Or in Dutch: “Fout in de aanvraag. Het object is niet gevonden. U heeft mogelijk geen rechten of het object bestaat niet meer.”I tried resolving this by putting the task in a process flow which closes the document when there are no more items, but the error pops up anyway. How can I resolve this? 

Hi for a external application we would like to update records using the ODATA API. but we’ve noticed that updating foreign keys returns a `403 Forbidden`, but mutating the normal columns update fine.We’ve tried this using a PATCH/POST request and a STAGED record, both fail in the end. curiously the STAGED record only adds the non-key values to the STAGED record even when u try to pot a key in, it does not accept it.We currently work around this using a subroutine, but would be alot better if we could just mutate the record directly instead of writing subroutines for every table we need. Using a patch:Using a POST requestUsing a staged record, adding the key values in the initial post request results in only 1 column being added instead of 5 

hi,We have added a data conversion for a new, mandatory column in a table. The default value is an expression, getting the value from another table “settings”.The problem is, that this table “settings” also has some changes in this update, and the tabel is also rebuild during the update. So at the time the value should be calculated, the table setting is renamed __setting__ and the new table is empty. So no value is found and the update fails.Is it possible to have some sort of sequence in rebuilding the tables? Or how can I solve this issue?  

Hi all,  Is it possible to change filter form label to "Search on item#"?

The delete functionality does not seem to work on multiple rows at once, it only deletes one. Is there a setting I’m missing to make it applicable to all selected rows?

Hi, I need to process a large number of files in a folder, one by one. The files are in a folder on the local machines of the users. At the start of the process I do not know the name of the folder, and I do not know the names of the files. The application is using the Windows GUI. In a process flow I first ask the user to select the folder. This goes well. Then I need to find the names of the files. I would like to use the List Folder connector, but that is only supported in the Universal UI. And we are on Windows. - Because the files are on the local machine of the user, using SQL Server to get the file names also is not an option. Placing the files on a server instead of local machines also is not an option. How do I create an equivalent of the List Folder process action that will work for my application?  

Dear all,Has anyone done a move of the Web GUI scheduler Extender to the Universal GUI ?Can you provide instructions on how to move over from one to the other ?Is it seemless or we need to re-implement it ?Thank you

Hi all, I'm helping a customer migrating from Windows GUI on 2018.x to Universal on 2022+They are super happy with the looks of the new platform, but are held back by their reports in Crystal Reports. I am compiling a list of alternatives for them with their pros and cons. We have access to at least eight options in the SF, but documentation seems lacking on which options are (explicitly) compatible with Universal/Indicium. Of Devexpress and Inet Reports I know that they can import Crystal Reports report definitions, which is of benefit of course. Are there easy migration paths for the other reporting options? Which are supported in Universal/Indicium? Thanks for your thoughts and experiences! 

We are playing with the Power BI OData Service Document endpoint that is supported since Indicium 2022.2.17 and tried to get Suggestion 3 from this blog working (adding table name and select / filter criteria after the application.svc in the OData URL). We are able to load the https://my_server/indicium/iam/iam/application.svc endpoint We are able to load the endpoint example as stated in the below image (from the blog) We are not able to load the application.svc endpoint including similar Table name and select or filter criteria and instead get an 404 error. Is this functionality not supported by Thinkwise, or is the syntax supposed to be different?

 Is there more information available on how to integrate custom pages into the Universal GUI. Especially how the context sensitivity works and authorization..  how is authorization passed through as the contextual parameters? Custom components make use of the HTML preview component. All API features offered by Indicium can be used by these HTML pages. The HTML itself can be made context sensitive, for instance by using information from the current row. All available features of the Thinkwise platform are inherited. Any best practices here, extra info.  

A long title for a fast problem ;-) When I log in using the universal gui and I use a wrong password there is an error displayed saying the password is wrong. But, the message disappears after 0.5 seconds because ( I assume) the page is refreshed.  The Devtools seem to suggest this is because it is redirected to the return URL, which is basically the same as refreshing the current url: Is there something I can do about this?

I know this issue has been adressed by Thinkwise after an idea on the community. However, I can't seem to find anything in the documentation on how to change the translation of a button on the universal login screen. This is my problem: How do I solve it? 

Hi All,We have upgraded to the latest version and that went ok. Our automated deployment however, is off. Before, after all merges where done, we copied the latest version to a new version. So for example from 1.125.06 to 1.26. Set this as ‘production’ - set the previous version to 1.125 and the 020-upgrade script came out great. We then keep track of the executed scripts in _schemaversions, so we know if the script is executed on the db or not.  Yesterday I found out that this is no longer working ok. Lot of Db issues, and as stated here that it might ruin the Db. Well, it does.  In model Overview, I have a Branch ‘Main’ (prev. trunk) and several model versions. My build tool Calls the ‘deployment package task’. But all upgrades scripts are based on the version since the upgrade. So now in my repo I have three version; Version 004; 020 upgrade script “print 'Upgrade from MAIN (2023-02-07 16:21:11.24) to MAIN (2023-02-09 15:48:52.72)”Version 005; 020 upgrade script “print 'Upgrade from

Hi, I have a table; with a start_date and a end_date column. Both are a DATE domain. The end_date column has a domain with a constraint on it; start_date < end_date. However, I don't see anything happening in the gui. What should it do? I assume you know what I want here.. and I would like to display a custom message, explaining what's going on. Any advice on this? Thanks! Alex

Is there an easy way to monitor the status of Indicium. And also send notifications to application admins if the service is down?If Indicium is down for whatever reason, Windows GUI end-users should not immediately notice it, while external applications have no access.It might be an idea to have a status indicator (such as a traffic light) somewhere in the GUI for admins.

I’m having an issue with my charts inconsistently loading in the universal web gui. After a couple of refreshes, sometimes they load all at once, I sometimes get one or two to load  and sometimes they just dont load at all. I have 4 charts like this in one screentype.   

Hi, Is there an option to disable the Resize Columns button in the Menu Bar for the grid?Some users have customized the width of some of the columns in the grid, but then when they click by mistake on that button, that custom configuration is gone and they have to do the setup again. Regards,HJ van Dalfsen

Can I start Universal from the SF rather than doing a Creation, Validation, Sync to IAM every time I made a small change? 

Thursday 9/2/2023About 3 years ago my college Hugo Nienhuis asked about a SFTP-connector.The answer that time from Vincent was:Hi Hugo,The FTP Connector only supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (File Transfer Protocol over SSL). It does not support SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).Hugo made it a wish and 10+ people voted for it. Is there fresh news about this topic ? 

How do I turn this off? I have a view that calculates real-time timings, however I notice that because of lookups the view gets queried once for itself but then also for every lookup. There are many performance issues with this:Why the OR statements and not the actual pre-filter, they tend to be less performant than the exists clause in the pre-filter. Why all lookups are based on the base-table with a left join? Why not directly lookup on the lookup table?This setup is really killing me. Any advice here on how to optimize this situation? declare @handle int;exec sp_prepexec @handle output, N'@p0 int, @p1 int, @p2 int, @p3 int, @p4 int, @p5 int, @p6 int, @p7 int, @p8 int', N'SELECT t1.[process_id], t1.[process_task_id], t1.[tenant_id], t2.[description] AS [lookup_636502171]FROM [process_task_view] t1LEFT OUTER JOIN [tenant_definition_status] t2 ON t1.[tenant_id] = t2.[tenant_id] AND t1.[process_status_id] = t2.[domain_status_id]WHERE (t1.tenant_id = convert(int,SESSION_CONTEXT(N'tenant

What happened to the documentation on the FTP-connector?

The mobile UI has option for density : compact and comfortable.Currently by default its set to comfortable.Is there a way to set it to compact by default?I got the required information for Universal UI from , but not for mobile:  

Hey there,I have recently encountered an error - which might seem like a bug - about a look-up column. In this case we have a sounding date which I would like to attach to a report. Therefore I would like to see the most recent time up until the seconds, which was also confirmed, by a third party. So the column itself has a control type - date, but in the GUI this will be set to varchar, which ends up like thisThis is not the most charming. So I came up with a 2nd option, by adding a new column to this specific table with a varchar domain. Is there maybe a better approach not having the date-time-short domain converted to varchar?

Hi all,Currently when i double click on a row in Universal it opens the form detail as a new tab.is it possible to double click on a row and open a form detail as a pop up, just like a lookup?
