Again we run into problems, because Indicium stopped for some reason.I am quiet sure that everything is set up as mentioned in the documentation. But I am still not sure if all settings that are needed to let Indicium running are set. It would be helpful to have a simple checklist for this in the documentation. Now is it too much fragmented.Any ideas what else can be the reason for Indicium to stop running? In this case the customer has a on-premise configuration, so we cannot make use of Azure to monitor te webservice. For this it would be really a good idea to have the idea @Erwin Ekkel available in the GUI.  As a workaround I am now considering to make system flow that updates a sort of 'heartbeat’ date field in a little application status table and use a task + badge as in indicator when the last 'heartbeat’ is longer than 5 minutes ago. 

Hello, It is possible to import one project(data model and functionalities) into another project -where we have one common table that has different columns in it. Or it should be safer to make it manually? 

Hi, I’ve created a large hunk of functionality, with several tasks, functionalities, process flows and all that. This is a financial part of the application. Invoices, purchases and all. Every app that we will create will need to have a module like this. All apps will process invoices and connecting cost lines. I would very much like to copy/paste (import) all these elements and then modify as needed. Manually copying all the things is a difficult and labour intensive task. What is the best approach in solving this ? Same goes for ‘Modules’ like Accounts? All apps have a CRM part. However, a lot less functionalities/intelligence to it. Just copying tables, but still.. would be nice to just simply click 'Import’ and select a module. Any thoughts on this?Alexander

I try to become more familiar with branches, since project versions are no longer used in 2023.1.I have created a branch to implement the new scheduler functionality for Universal. Now I like to test this.Why is my alias not accepted during login?  

 Hi ,I followed the steps from :https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/subjects_settings#grouping-in-a-gridFrom the components→ grid  I was able to achieve the groups in the grid. While adding new record in the table, it worked as intended from the GUI. However the column (here employee name) in the universal was not blank and hence no data can be selected.Can you guide if I am missing something?   

Hi all,I would like to know how you deal with the absence of dashboards as described in this idea.https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/129If you create your own software, of course you can create something in powerbi or similiar:As a software provider, it is valuable to be able to offer this in the software. Any indication or idea would be highly appreciated! 

Hi, I am creating an approval process on time sheet module. For this there will be 2 roles:ManagerEmployeeScenario : When the employee submits the time sheet using a Task, the Task should change fromSubmit → SubmittedAn email should go to his manager.On the same table the Manager can see, the employee’s time sheet.He can either : Approve or Reject the time sheet by the employee using Task. Can you please guide me to the correct path, any idea how this can be implemented?I do have a rough idea, however its not fullproof.  

I'm setting up our new server and we are running databases as containers on different ports. How do I define this in the indicium app settings.. I'm connected via SMSS but I get indicum error that no connection can be made. Is below correct? "Server": "Localhost,1510",   System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server: Could not open a connection to SQL Server))

Hi,I was wondering if it’s possible to style the tooltip in the Universal GUI resource scheduler? I’ve tried using some html tags to see if it did something, but to no avail. As you can see in the screenshot below the width is also way out of proportion as well.  Tooltip width 

We recently started using Universal as replacement for the mobile GUI and we ran into the following issue.For readability we use a cardlist to show the data but there are some fields that contain strings that are longer than the width of the screen:the tooltip shows the content with wordwrap: Can we display the data in a similar way on the cardlist?

Hi All, I’m having trouble with filtering my cube views. I placed my filter value in the value cube field type but for some reason its not filtering. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong??This is what my chart looks like.

Hi, I would like to test some subroutines/endpoints on my local machine. I have a local indicium, and I use Universal gui to test my branch directly this way. When I use Postman to get/post something I tried things like " local host/indicium/24852/create_new_project ”Where the number is de App id from the runtime config. However, Postman doesn't find a thing. How can I test this locally? Thanks!! Alexander 

 We have a view job_history (using dynamic model) of system versioned table job_detail. I chose two different icons for them. But whenever i run creation, the view is picking the same icon as job detail table.In universal i wanted to show different icon for this view.How can i do it?   Before running creation in Universal :After creation: 

We currently have an attachment table with file_name and as domain control : File Upload. Now we want to if someone clicks on that file name in the application. They will NOT be redirected to google chrome / internet explrorer to open that document. Is there a way we can achieve that somehow?

Hi,I have a report that I've designed in DevExpress containing multiple tables. When the report gets exported to Word (.docx) those tables aren't adjustable by the user. Meaning that the borders of a table aren't resizable for instance. Sadly I can't seem to find an option for this in DevExpress. I've been looking for a table property like ‘Fixed’ or something, but to no avail.Is there maybe a report parameter I could use for this? Thanks! 

Hi, im new to ThinkWise and following the university right now. In the section reports i'm stuck. I want to create a very simple demo with a word document which is generated after clicking a button in the Windows GUI. There is a report button above a grid.  When clicking this button a word document is generated The document should receive the columns of the selected row in the grid In the word document some placeholders are set these placeholders are replaced by the values received in generating the documentThe ThinkWise documentation does not mention how placeholders are made within the word document and how to map them via the Software Factory. Can anyone help me?

We have some tables with start and end dates per row. When we do an export we see that all dates are no longer in the format that we used in the app. In Universal we use dd-MM-yyyy and the downloaded file uses MM-dd-yyyy. Is there a way to make the downloaded file respect the preferred date settings? 

How do I give someone rights to the analyze the system flows, but I do not want them to be full admin. I somehow expected an application owner to be able to see their flows. But it seems that they are only allowed to see the Authorization menu items.

I have a long running task and want to inform the user about the progress using a process bar like I used to to in the Windows GUI, in the Stored Procedure the tsf_send_progress SP is used for this:exec tsf_send_progress 'parameter_is_message', '<text>Tekstuele terugmelding uit taak</text>', 25;In the Windows GUI I see what I expected:In the Universal GUI I get a spinning circle, but I don't see the message and the progress%:When the task is finished I get popups for every message sent from the task:Isn't it possible to use progress bars for tasks like in the Windows GUI?

Hi,I’ve created a dynamic model with a prefilter ‘Show_active’. Works fine. When in edit mode, and clicking a popup, I see the results - in grid and form. The prefilter is active on the popup. When I Save my record (Employee), and reclick the lookup, it’s empty. This is because the prefilter is not active. When I toggle it manually, all is ok.  Empty popup - prefilter inactive.I do not see a setting for prefilters in the popup. Main state: onAny thoughts how I can change this? Alexander 

When in code review i want to compare code. Normally an external tool would open. My collegues work in Winmerge but the it policy changed and we now have to work in Kdiff3. Iver installed this tool on my computer but when i press the button in TSF it does not open but provides a message:Het systeem kan het opgegeven bestand niet vindenany idea how to fix this?

What can we do to make forms in Universal look a little more perfect? Fields should be arranged and sized like the Windows GUI does.  

I have a Dev Express report that I directly want to print to a Brother label printer (62x100mm label).In Windows this works perfectly with the Report action ‘Print’. In the Universal GUI this report opens a new tab in the browser with the report as a preview instead of printing.So to create a sort of a  workaround I created a process flow with the following actions:Generate report (report with Report action Save to PDF) → Write file → Print file. Process flowThis works if the printer is a normal A4 printer, but on the Brother label printer the printer stops with an error. If I open the PDF that has been created during the flow and I manually print it, it does work. The page settings and margins etc etc in the report are OK.Maybe Indicium does unexpected things during the Print file-action that the printer cannot handle, but that is very hard to debug.Does anyone have a better solution to print a report in the Universal GUI?
