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?

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.
