Questions & Conversations

Since the 2023.2 version, email providers can be predefined in SF. This seems like a useful addition to make it easier to connect to Office 365.I am particularly interested in the possibility of allowing end users to connect to a mailbox themselves in this way.Can a step-by-step example be added to the documentation to understand how this works and can be implemented in an application?And what about Gmail? Can we expect this in a next release? 

Hi All,Recently we are running into more erratic behavior in the SF with Merging. This morning I got this;  and yesterday; We cannot solve this with reason - just with trial and error , merging some back and forth.. and sometimes it works, sometimes it takes longer. What is the advice on solving this, and how can we prevent this?  Very much appreciated! Kind regards, Alexander      

Hi, We have quite a few validations approved in our apps and over time things have cluttered a bit. I do not want to reset all Validations, but want to see what has been approved - but not fixed, so we can maybe revisit these validations. Things might not have been an issue back then, but now.. maybe it is.So, in general - what would be the best approach in this? And - it's a Two Parter! - is it possible to generate a report from the Validations when creating a release? We do this fully automated, so what happens is that this step is sometimes missed. Ideally I would like to get an email from my devops with the results. I don't want to crawl through SF for the apps and Models to see what happened. I see task 'task_add_job_to_validate_all’ - but not sure what the output will be. And how to set the @job_idCurious on what is possible. Blommetje 

After the SF upgrade 2023.2, I enabled OR filtering on a prefilter group.I expected that with the config below, I could now click multiple filters from the "admininistration" group to apply them as OR to the dataset.Multiple active prefilters - Match any (OR)However they are now all prefilters greyed out (read-only).This seems to be caused by the prefilter being "On locked" by default. In my opinion it is a bug because it is quite possible to combine an "On locked" filter with 1 or more filters. 

Good afternoon, As I was playing with the task bar and taks tiles in screen types, I stumbled across something. I noticed that task tiles are prioritized over a task bar in the scenario that both of them are picked in a screen type (see images 1 and 2).Image 1: the setup of the screen type Image 2: How it looks like in the Universal GUI In short my question: How do you prioritzie which task option (bar/tiles) will come first?Furthermore, is there an option to seperate the tasks so that a group of tasks will go in the task bar and the other group will go in the task tiles? Thank you in advance for your reply. 

Good morning,In IAM, you can see when your users logged in etc. in the session log information. Is there a way to extract information from the session log and show this in the end application? We would like to be able to show the datetime of the last login of a user in our application.

Good afternoon,I was wondering what the upcoming ideas are for shortcuts in the Universal GUI. For myself and our users, I really like to see the following shortcuts, specifically when in a pop-up of a task:ESC for cancelling a task ENTER for executing the task Thank for your time, reply, and hopefully you will consider my request.

What could be causing the Captcha entry to keep repeating when using the "Forgot Password" link?As a result, users are unable to create a new password.

Dear community,At Vezet we want to build some user logging functionality. However, we ran into an issue with the order_no's of the templates which handle the atomic transaction. Below is an example:We want to weave functionality between tasks_start and transaction_start. This is impossible because there is no INT value between 1 and 2. We also want to weave functionality(a finally block of some sorts) between 99999 and 100000, this is also impossible. We can edit the control_procedure of sql_tasks to change these order_no's but because it's copied from a base project it resets after a generate. We can change the base project but this causes problems everytime we upgrade to a new version of the Software Factory. What is the best solution for this issue?

hi,I've created a editable cube based on a view and by configuring the extender to make it an editable cube.Now I'd like to mark a certain selection of data-fields as read-only.Usually this is possible by creating a layout procedure, so this is what I did for the view where the cube is based on.But for some reason the view is working is expected, but for the cube all fields stay editable.Does someone maybe know if the layout-logic will also be executed when running a cube ?SF version is 2021.3.Thanks.best regards,Cyril

When I look at the Work status of my current sprint I see a couple of very thin bars at the very right of the graphic.It uses a timescale that start somewhere in the distant past.How do I make it use the start date and end date of my Iteration for the timescale?(SF version 2023.1)  

Is it possible to disable the main subject in the combined filter when changing to details?Since you already have the main subject in the combined filter we don’t want to search on it again when changing to the details. Is it possible to disable this? Reason we want to disable it is to keep the search queries as small as possible to improve wait times. 

I am working on the following: a user should be able to choose a date when an employee is inactive. I want the user to be notified in case a date is chosen which is more than 3 months ago. I want this notification to appear the moment the user leaves the date field. Displaying the message happens, just not at the right time. Instead of the message appearing the moment after you choose the date, the message already appears when you scroll through the calendar and go back further than 3 months. Can someone explain what could possibly be going wrong here? When scrolling back, the message appears. It’s hidden behind the calender.  The code in my default 

Currently Universal seems to preview only the first preview-able column in the table (the PDF in the screenshot below) and just shows this column twice. There is a second column (right under this pdf column) that holds an URL that should be previewed as well. Current behaviour of the preview component in UniversalWhy does Universal show the same column twice and not look for a second preview-able column in a table? Is there a way to preview both an URL and a PDF? 

This might be a bit of a bug. If i adjust the lookup from combo to suggestion contains instead of the drop down box we get the magnifying glass as lookup button. But it is only visible when the field is a certain number of pixels wide. If we change the field lookup to suggestion contains, should the field be auto set wider? or should the lookup button always be visible, with a bit of space to click for typing as well?Example: https://imgur.com/DqXLDyZ

I've noticed that if you use the group-labels on the grid, the No. of fields locked stops working. Is there a reason for this or a bug to be squashed? 

In the Windows GUI, a user can switch between menus by right-clicking in the left-hand sidebar and selecting a different menu.In Indicium, according to the Thinkwise docs, there is a single endpoint to get the metadata (or OpenAPI spec) for an entire application.In our case however, the metadata is massive (the response body was 700+ MB).We have defined a separate menu in the SF, containing views, tables and functions we want to expose to a public-facing API.Would there be a way to only get the metadata or specs for that specific menu? Currently, we are managing model updates and exposed endpoints by hand and are actively looking for a maintainable alternative.Should anything be unclear, please do let me know!Thanks in advance!

Hey all,this is a part of my processflow and it fails when i try to preview the report after i press execute, i am greeted with this:  Any idea what could be causing the issue?

Recently we’ve upgraded our Test- and Staging environments in Azure to Indicium 2023.1.15 and Universal GUI 2023.1.15.1 and enabled the Extended Property RefreshOnDocumentSwitch = Yes as described in the release notes of Universal GUI 2023.1.15Release Notes Universal GUI 2023.1.15 | Refresh on revisiting a page or tabHowever, we don't see any refreshed data when a user revisits the opened document in the menu.Are we missing something? Any help would be appreciated. PS: We have disabled ‘Show Open Documents’ in the software factory, so we don't show the open documents in the menu.

Hi,I have a process flow that gets an API with a list of people. For each person this flow checks a few things - and then inserts all people. This can be 1, or 25. All works well, BUT the generic_Ok message also popups the same amount of times the task is executed.  Detail of the Process FlowWhat I want - is the message to show only once - and in an ideal world say 'created x_amount of employees’I tried this with a Decision, but this did not make a difference. Can I force this an easy way? Thanks!Blommetje

HI team, I want to hide combo box values based on the roles logged in to Universal. Can we achieve that in Software factory. If it possible can any of us guide me through this. Example scenario - We are having Employee Details module for our app. In that module, there is an option called employee role which consists of Super Admin, Client Admin, Employee, HR, IT manager roles.What I need is if the client admin logged into the application, we need to hide the combo box option in Employee role which is Super Admin option.  So If any of us know the solution, kindly update in the forum. Thanks

Hi there, We would like to know if its possible to download a pdf file (or convert it to base64) through an api. Sadly the API only gives the PDF file instead of a base64 encoded string. If abose is possible. Please explain how. Because we dont know where to start even. Results :Preferred method : Save it as base64Optional and not preferred : Save the file on our own server.Must have : Displayable on our own application

Hey all,Whenever i open packing preparation in the web gui i get this: but when i open it in Universal or my local desktop gui it works fine. Any idea what could be causing this?

I have created a ftp connection with a very bacic ftp side. There is no ssl, no tls, no nothing, only address, username and password. Directly from the server we can connect with filezilla. From the TW ftp connector we cannot connect. I checked the ftp site and the credentials thoroughly end those are 100%  correct. When we connect from the server we run into a message “This server does not support ftp over tls” “Your password and files will be sint in clear over the internet” So we have to click away this message. Could this message be the bottleneck for the TW ftp connecter giving the STATUS -2.  Our system engineers ask if we can use the option “command-line override” for this ftp connection. Is this possible. What else can I do? Thanks anyone for answering.     

We have created a few tables that are linked by references. We have a created a new screentype with a detail tiles component. The result is that all linked tables are showed as different tiles. We want just a few detail tiles, not all.We tried already to change the details grouping, but there we can only create new references, and by existing ones, it is not possible to select the source and target fields.Please advice
