Is a separate license necessary for the use of DevExpress Reporting or is this part of the suite? Is a viewer needed or is this standard in the GUI? How can I import a Crystal Report? I do not see an option to import Crystal Reports, as described in the release notes.

Is there any documentation available explaining how to upload files via Indicium (rel. 2021.1.10).In Fidler I see that a different mechanism is now used, which uses the content-Type: application / octet-stream.How can I get that done from an external application?

We have a task with a barcode as the last parameter that is scanned using an externally connected barcode scanner:According to the documentation, the task should submitted directly, but that doesn't happen.How do I get this working?

Dear all,As per subject I’m trying to setup the SSO on the Universal GUI for part of my users and facing an issue. The documentation mentions the setup of the SSO from Thinkwise perspective which is sufficient, but there is no documentation at least for the setup for Azure/AWS/Google perspective what is actually needed.My Setup:I have a Resource group (RG) called TEST I have a VNET for the RG I have SQL server and App service in the VNET I have a Front Door having the default *.azurefd.net and my custom domain The Front Door points to my App service and redirects traffic correctly. The Indicium and Universal are installed on the App service. The whitelist of client redirect URLs in IAM is my custom domain only.For the SSO:I have done the App registration I have added the new configuration in App Service for the OpenID Microsoft authentication I have added my custom domain on App serviceProblem I face and would like some input is that,The App registration requires that the Redirect URIs

With the deprecation of basic auth for office 365 SMTP is it possible to authenticate through other means in order to send e-mails?I am currently trying to use the SMTP connector to send e-mails but keep getting -2 status codes for this action Error LOG:Process action "send_email" in processflow "flow_anne_mail_test" in application 83 threw an exception. (571360e4)System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.57 Client not authenticated to send mail. Error: 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, basic authentication is disabledShould i be using another connector? Or switch to another SMTP service like sendgrid?

In my TW application I use several Crystal Reports reports.The customer sent me a new version of the report, other than the rpt file and 2 additional parameters for the stored procedure used by the report no big changes.I've replaced the original report with the new report and added the 2 new parameters.When I try to open the report from the application I keep getting: Other reports work correctly, just this one report is being naughty :) :(

Last week we upgrade the SF from 2018.02 to 2018.03 and since then we have trouble with the performance. Our application starts normal but when we choose for the first time a (simple) menu-option the waitingtime is more then 6 minutes before it shows a result. The same after every 'refresh model'. Similar problem occurs when we start the SF itself, if freezes about 15 seconds before we can chosse an option. See the screendumps below

I have asked for a tool to convert a RGB color to a value that is used within a Thinkwise application. For other purposes I have used a tool called ColorPic, but the numbers used to store colors when using a Thinkwise application don't match (far from it). It's probably a DevExpress of C# thing Now I am pretty sure I already got an answer pointing to a site or a tool that converts various colors (RGB , HEX and what have you), but I can't remember from whom (or whether it was in TCP, an e-mail or by phone). So if anybody knows of such a tool or a site that does the conversion please share. Colorpic (that can't do the conversion):

First I created a control procedure with a parameter. Then I filled in a default value for the parameter in the task parameter tab. However the produced SQL code that actually creates the procedure does not set this default value on the database. Is this the correct behavior? The generated code in the software factory includes this part: code:create procedure task_procedure_name( @from_date date)asbegin However I would expect something like this: code:create procedure task_procedure_name( @from_date date = '1970-01-01')asbegin My goal is to create a procedure which includes a parameter with a default value which I can override if necessary when calling the procedure using the execute command. Can this be accomplished?

Hello all, I have a question about unit tests. We're currently working on getting to grips with this subject. But I'm kinda stuck on one specific unit test. I have a default that I want to test. It is a simple one that removes spaces from a string, as follows: if @cursor_from_col_id = '[field]'and @[field] is not nullbegin set @[field] = REPLACE(@[field], ' ', '');end; But now I'm lost when adding the input parameters for the unit test. I'm choosing 'postal_code’ as a parameter with input '1234 AB’. But when I run the test it just returns '1234 AB’ (so it failed). I also tried adding 'cursor_from_col_id’ with input 'postal_code’ as an input parameter, but that also didn't work. Looking forward to your answer!

Hi, Does anyone know how to change the default font of a RichText control in Devexpress? I have a html variable bound to it from my datasource, but instead of going for the default font set for the whole document it's presenting the data in TImes New Roman. Html variable bound to itAdvies is in Times New RomanI've found multiple custom scripts that change the font at runtime in some very old DevExpress support threads on their community, but those scripts make use of a library called RichEditDocumentServer. That library is nowhere to be found in the version of DevExpress that's available to us.Maybe there's a way to change the font of an HTML field before we feed it to DevExpress? I've seen this solution:  but I don't necessarily want to change the font in the HTML editor or the column itself in Universal.Thanks! 

Hello, I’m working with the Windows GUI and indicium. I have a website ‘https://website.acto.nl/new’. I have a second website ‘https://oldwebsite.acto.nl’. I’m not able to change the ini file of all the users at the right moment, so therefor I would like to redirect users with the Windows GUI which still trying to reach the oldwebsite to the webiste.acto.nl/new Is this possible and if so, what is the best way to accomplish this?

Has anyone figured out how to implement barcode scanning in the Universal GUI. At this moment when I scan a barcode in a TEXT field the GUI does not perform an ENTER. So the value is Shown in the field but, the value is not processed by the default because the GUI does not handle the scanning action of the terminal as an entered value. (I already tried different settings on the scanner like HEX suffix 0X0A (Which is the equivalent of ENTER) But the universal GUI seems to ignore this suffix. So the result is that the value is shown in the field and the user always need to do something on the screen. We need to scan a barcode, process it’s value in a default, moves the cursor to another field or the same field. For example, scan a product barcode, scan a location, scan a product barcode, scan a location. A created a test form with only 2 fields and want the default to handle the scanned value and moves the cursor to the following ‘to-be-scanned’ field. Someone has ideas??? declare @msg v

How do we secure the username and password of the DB connection details in the appsettings.json not to be in plain text in Azure ? I saw from another article that the Azure Managed Identity is not supported. Can we use Azure KeyVault? Is there another alternative?

Hi! I have a screen, and it looks like this one below. As you see, I have 2 taskbars on the same screen. What I'm attempting to do here is to activate a detail tab (via a processflow) by allowing a user to click on a huge button on the bottom right of the screen, while keeping most of the tasks on the left side of the screen .  My first attempt to solve this was via a dummy task which would direct the user to the detail tab. That's where I found myself building this screentype, trying to place 9 out of 10 of my table tasks on the left and one huge one on the bottom right. If you have tried this before, you know that it doesn't work that way and now all of the 10 table tasks are in both places 😅 A couple of solutions I've already tried to achieve my separated tasks objective: 1 . Adding the task as a detail tile. This doesn't work because I can only add table references to the detail tiles, and not task references (like we can in an actual tile menu). 2 . Adding a dummy vi

I'm trying to test the recently released OAuth login connector support in the Universal GUI. Thanks to the Docs I conclude that I have to update the Extended property oauthredirecturi to switch from http to https.I did this on our TEST environment for the Application in which I am testing this We had the Indicium recycled after the changeIAM Extended propertyAzure AD error@Vincent Doppenberg However, the error still mentions the http uri. Could it be that the Universal GUI does not look at the IAM Extended property override?Another question: previously we always used the /signin-microsoft for this scenario in Insomnia. Why is this changed to oauth-callback and should we register both Reply URLs in the Azure AD App or update to oauth-callback for the OpenID Provider scenario too?

While configuring two universals on a single web server, to create a setup in which the functionality asked for in the topic linked above can be deployed, we run in some issues.We like to setup a separate DNS record for each universal, such that depending on the DNS name the user is redirected to the correct login screen. Also on our development environment we like to have two universals, each using their own indicium, all on the same webserver, and have a separate DNS record for each universal.In both scenarios we face the challenge of how to correctly perform the DNS mapping. Our main questions are currently:what would be the best place to have the redirection take place? Users should just go to the domain name, without providing a path, and routing/redirections based on the browsed DNS name must take place which makes them land on the correct login screen OR the correct home screen, dependent on if auto login can be performed. to which path should we redirect? We figured out that th

After upgrading from 2021.2 to 2021.3 our IAM_SF is flooded by log records that are added in process_flow_schedule_log. Any idea how to fix this?CPU usage is up to 99% and these queries are running for 3+ hours.  (Normally i would ask this on TCP, but i cannot select a product there and therefor not create issues).

What could be the reason a query is taking way more time through the GUI than direct on SMSS? If I copy this query into SMSS and execute it, it's done instantly. While via the GUI it takes quite some milliseconds. 

It seems that the image control behaves differently for Andriod devices compared to iOS. On Android devices the option 'Take a Photo' is missing and the photo library opens immediately Any idea how can this be solved?

I actually have a Screen Type assigned to a Table I have created two view tables I want to assign these two view tables on same screen type for the above table

When we use the preview component in the web GUI we don' t get the result we expect. Instead we get an error which we can't explain. Do we need to adjust some security settings? To me it looks like the preview component needs to access local file storage.

Good morning,Yesterday we have tried out the extended property that should enable an integration between Thinkwise and Matomo: We would like to use Matomo for heatmaps and session recordings.Despite that we have set the extended property (and even installed the JS; https://developer.matomo.org/guides/tracking-javascript-guide), Matomo's dashboard is not receiving any input from our application built in Thinkwise. Could you explain what we need to do in order to integrate Matomo properly?Thanks in advance.
