Hi you all! I would like to know a bit more about your experience with AI on Thinkwise up until now. The company I work for and me myself have interest in working and knowing more about AI in relation to Thinkwise. A few questions come to mind: Are there a lot of people currently using AI to develop? If you work with AI, what has your experience been like?Which current model (OpenAI) does fit best for Thinkwise (for each connector)?Are there any plans to add more AI providers to Thinkwise (I'd actually love to work with Claude (anthropic)?

I have a button in a screen tab that is derived from another screen. Now I saw something odd happening and I wanted to fix it so users can also add a fee here without having to spend time looking for the button. I tried changing different things within the related task hoping that it would somehow change positioning and looked into the original screentype, but with no results apart from minor changes (meaning I do have the right task, but minor change is about all I could do..). How I can make the button appear next to the other standard buttons above? What would be something I can try out?   

Hi community, We are running multiple tenants (application per tenant) in Azure with a file storage in an Azure Blob container. We have enabled the ‘Encryption used’ option. We are facing a problem that the client secret  expires every 6 months and has to be reset using the ‘Set file storage key values (encrypted)’ (see the attached image)Any idea how we can update the encrypted client secret using the Indicium API of IAM? We are trying to automate the maintenance ;-)

Hi,I have a strange situation and can't figure out how it is caused.Our application can store documents in Azure files or on a file share based on a configuration setting.When a user uploads a document it is stored based on the physical filename and when not unique, Thinkwise adds a timestamp to the name.After the user has uploaded the document it resides at a temporary location. Using a process flow we determine the actual, unique filename based on some pattern defined in the application and then we move the document to it's definitive location (another sub folder) with it's newly determined filename. To place the document in the definitive location we use the move file connector. The origin and target locations are of the same storage type (from Azure files to Azure files or from a file share to a file share).When we execute this logic for a fileshare based document, it works as expected. The document is placed in it's new location with the filename we specified. The file contents di

Users are used to open an email in Outlook, so they can check it or add another attachment, before they send it. In Windows we use the TSFReportMailer for this.   Will the same functionality also be available in Universal? 

 Hi, We have a very basic, simple flow. In Windows GUI there is no problem, but in Universal GUI 2025.1.15.0.0, if i run the task succesfull 4 times i need to hit cancel 4 times, if i run it succesfull 6 times i need to hit cancel 6 times, and so on. Am I missing something obvious? is it a bug?You are meant to enter a palletnumber and click execute, and continue entering palletnumbers until you cancel the task. 

As the latest Universal GUI (2025.2.10.0) is backwards compatible with 2025.1, we can already use this so enjoy some new features and a couple of bugfixes.Noting the option for the Filter form to also support filtering in Detail tabs and the older platform not having the settings for them yet (As far as I could find), should perhaps the Filter form listen to the extended property “DisableFilterOnDetails”?Especially considering the possible performance impact, I probably would want to disable detail filtering all together for now until we are on 2025.2 and can decide for certain details what we want to support.

We use barcode labels with the barcode font free 3 of 9 extended.In the windows GUI this works fine.With the thinkwise reporting service this works fine as well.Both this methods will become obsolete so I’m re-develop these reports to the Universal GUI.On which places do we need to install the barcode font we need in the report.Should it exists on each device running the Universal GUI?Should it exists on the webserver where Indicium is running.Till now the labels are coming out the Zebra Printer but not with a barcode. In the place of the barcode is now a human readable number, which means the ‘place’ where the report is generated doesn’t recognize the barcode font. Can someone help me out this puzzle?

I need to consistently show 2 decimals, including when the number is a full integer, or only has 1 decimal. Searching the forum I found references to custom_display_format, but I have no idea how/where to implement it. For example, here it should be 2.25, 1.00, 2.00 and 1.50:Example without trailing zeros Alternatively I could use a calculated field, but converting numbers to strings in sql for this purpose would be inefficient (and a lot of extra work and complexity), so I'd like to avoid it.

Hallo, I’d like to confirm whether the hyperlink lookup feature is included in the 2025.2 release? I had previously asked whether it's possible to add a hyperlink to each field value.I’m working with a table (or entity) displayed using a grid component, and I’d like the values in certain fields to act as hyperlinks that redirect to another table, subject, or subject variant.Those are the functionality I’m referring to. Additionally, is there any documentation or a set of steps available for configuring this feature? Thank you

Hello everyone,When we plot a route with the Maps component in our software, it plots the route correctly, it doesn't have any weird data in it and the route is generated satisfactorily. But there is a strange phenomenon: for every route it plots, it alwasy sets a dot on the coordinates (0, 0). That causes it to always zoom in on Null Island in the Atlantic Ocean. What could be going wrong?The screen when I open it with a dot on Null Island (long: 0, lat: 0): These coordinates cannot be found in the configuration of the route.The actual route it plots and should zoom into:  

In previous releases you could modify the type of process step (always, successful, not successful) by double click the arrow in the process flow and change the type. This is not possible anymore (2025.1). I could not find something related to this in the release docs. Is this a known issue or is there a reason for?

I’m curious to hear about experiences with Azure OpenAI with Copilot in SSMS. Has anyone tried it and what is your opinion in comparison with Azure data studio with github copilot for example?For reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/ssms/copilot/use-azure-openai-with-copilot-in-ssmsBrent Ozar review: Review: SSMS Copilot vs Other AI Tools - Brent Ozar Unlimited®

Hallo,I have a module in my web portal under that allows adding, editing, and deleting data.In this model, I'm working with two fields: Company and Liners. Both values are derived from the same table called Company. To differentiate them, I created expressions where:company_name includes companies starting with "NL" liners includes companies starting with "L"My goal is to display these as two separate dropdown lists—one for Company and one for Liners—even though the data comes from the same table.I initially tried using a company_id lookup from the Company table, but that displays all records, which isn't what I need.So my question is:Is using expressions the correct approach for filtering the dropdown values? If not, what is the best practice for achieving separate dropdowns for Company and Liners from the same table based on different filter conditions?Below is the webportal page and the current data model   table.  web portal   data model  

I have a cube view with expanded cube fields (row and column). The behavior in Universal seems different from Windows. In Windows columns are expanded (year → month). In Universal the year is collapsed and shows year totals. What could be the reason for this behavior?  

Hi everyone,In our application (using Universal GUI), we have some custom components. We experience some problems when we want to style the custom components depending on choosen mode (dark / light) in the user preferences by the user.The custom component is presented in an <iframe> in the browser, however, within the <iframe> the css class ‘dark’ is not applied, causing the custom components not to be adjusted to the selected mode (dark/light). This makes UI/UX of application not as good as we want to.Any ideas how to solve this?

We are using the Windows GUI (2 tier). Recently users reported a problem that they cannot save their own created or changed cube views. Users can make the changes and save their cube views with no errors or messages showing, but afterwards the change has not been applied or saved to the IAM database (MS SQL server). As a admin user myself i can save the cube views with no problems as i have more rights on the database itself.We also recently upgraded our environment from 2023.1 to 2025.1. I suspect this has to do with the change in cube view preferences where cube views are split into cube views and cube view classic preferences. Also a change has been done in the upgrade where public rights have been revoked and assigned to specific roles. Our users have the end_user role. I have checked execute rights have been granted on below procedures and the task_delete_usr_pref_classic_cube_view. This is the case. Also the rights on the underlying tabels i have set to inserted, update, delete t

Hi, I have been using the topic: Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI for drag and dropping files in my test environment. The test environment is hosted on Azure and uploaded the files to an azure storage. However, the Production environment is hosted on premise, therefore I wanted to test the drag and drop functionality on the acceptance environment (also hosted on premise). However, I can't get the drag and drop to work. I have changed the URL in the html to the right url. The HTML file is saved on the universal folder, same as the test environment. However, I just keep seeing the 'no preview available’. The file name column has a file upload control type to a file system storage location. Uploading and opening the files from the local storage works.  Kind regards,Mark

Universal GUI Editable Grid Performance IssuesInstalled software:Software Version Universal GUI 2025.1.14.0 Indicium 2025.1.14.0  Problem StatementThe Universal GUI seems to be less performant in various cases, when compared to the same functionality in (older) WebGUI / WindowsGUI.Specifically, the editable grid has significant performance implications, which makes the user interface unreliable. Upon pressing the downward arrow-key 3 times in succession in the editable grid. The UGUI registers only 2 button presses.The problem is not necessarily the delay, it is the discarding user-inputs that makes the UGUI unreliable in use.Possible CausesUniversal GUI version: we are on the latest version. Indicium version: we are on the latest version. Resource capacity: we host UGUI & Indicium on a server dedicated to this environment. Data quantity: this test was performed on an editable grid with 6 columns and 7 rows, without expression fields, nor triggers.This list does not spark

What could be causing a bad gateway message with an Indicium docker container?I've already verified that all containers (including traefik) are on the same Docker network (the default network made by docker compose).This is the line from the traefik log:502 Bad Gateway error="dial tcp 172.18.0.6:8080: connect: connection refused"According to “docker network inspect” 172.18.0.6 is the correct internal IP address for the Indicium container.This weirdly doesn't happen with the Universal container as it serves the login page just fine.Each container uses its own subdomain as the external host.This is my docker-compose.yaml:---services: proxy: image: traefik restart: unless-stopped ports: - 80:80 command: - "--providers.docker=true" - "--providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false" - "--entrypoints.web.address=:80" - "--accesslog=true" - "--log.level=DEBUG" - "--log.filePath=/logs/traefik.log" volumes: - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/dock

Hello everyone,In our application we have a few custom components. Those custom components are integrated well. But there is one point where the integration of these components doesn't work as well: on the topic of the themes (dark mode and light mode). We now have to manually toggle the components to match the theme of the software, which is weird, why would the user need to toggle a component from light to dark mode or from dark to light mode when the software should do that automatically?Is there a way to know in what mode the software is? It would help to automatically switch the theme to the theme the application is already on, otherwise the overly bright component is highly distracting.So in short: is there a way to know whether the software is in dark or light mode, so we can change the components accordingly? 

Hi. We have a remote desktop server for our users. And they sometimes need to do an update/upgrade of a client application (over VPN). it's just update of app db and sync IAM. Is there an option to do this without admin rights, which I prefer not to give out. 

What is the logic in universal if a spinner (loading) icon is shown or not. On some screens it’s shown while the data is loaded. On others it is not. This makes it very confusing because you are not sure if the data is still loading or if there is no data. Is there a subject setting that influences whether this icon is shown?Not shown: other subject the icon shows:  

When we copy text from Word into our app (Universal GUI), all kind of meta data from Word is copied. This has no additional value, but fills the DB unnecessarily (and result in other issues).  How can we copy text from Word into our app, without losing the formatting and not copying the meta data from Word?
