I want to activate a special theme with extra large fonts for a visually impaired end user. In the user preferences in IAM I have set this specific theme for the user in question, but it doesn't work.What is the correct way to get this done?

Is it possible to change the database value from 0, 1, 2 etc to strings as shown below: I have tried it and i get an error at "Execute source code” 

Hi all,when multiselecting records in Universal GUI the selected records get a gray background as seen in img 1. img 1 But when you set a background color as a conditional layout, the multiselect becomes unnoticeable(img 2)img 2In img 2 I have selected the last 3 “Service” records but it is not noticeable.How can this be fixed?Thanks.

hi,For printing documents (pdf files, txt files for label printer) we need some settings per user so we can specify which printer is to be used (without manual user input). So I need a look-up for printers.In advanced menu we can add printers, but can we use this table in our data model? Or are these printers only for reporting?

I like to achieve the following in our application (Web GUI):When the user executes a certain task a download* is started and shown in the running tasks window. When the download is finished the user can retrieve the file via the running tasks window.* The download is the response of a select request to indicium with the option to export as XLSX added (&$export=xlsx).It should behave the same as how you can download a GUI via the TCP website.What steps are needed to achieve this?

How can I have an empty grid (to start with) and a dropdown from a related table?  Now it stays empty, because I guess there is not information shown yet in the list. 

Is it possible to display multiple lines in the treeview component?I've been trying to add char(13) + char(10) and \r\n but both won't show the second line.  

We have a table with readings per vehicle. This table is reachable via indicium universal for external parties. They can query by vehicle, sort on date etc etc… That's all fine. But if one forgets to use Ttop=10 of $top=100 for example in the URL, a list of thousans of records can and will be returned.When setting for example max_no_of_records on a table, the (windows) GUI respects such a setting. Indicium universal however ignores this setting completely. Will this be introduced in a future release of indicium universal? And will there be a way to query a variant in the future?  

We have some troubles with the automatic license renewal. All environments are registered and running on IAM 2020.2. The application pool has the correct settings; always running and idle timeout 0. However, every 2 months we have to start the indicium manually to retrieve the correct license. What are we missing? 

We have set up our Software Factory using AWS: (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/aws/#creating-an-aws-elastic-beanstalk-environment). But we have troubles with setting the Project folder specification for the Creation procedure since Software Factory version 2021.3. Our Indicium runs in AWS ElasticBeanstalk, the folders of which we cannot reach directly.Ideally we would like to write those code files to an AWS S3 bucket. Is there a way to do this?  

We are trying to write a generated report to our S3 bucket.The Generate Report has the report action that exports to HTML provided with a file from the (thinkwise) DevExpress tool:The process initiated by a table task:The process variables that are used are of varbinary (contract_content) type and the file_path which is located to the S3 bucket (file_path__brg_dms_contract). This file_path has a Default constant value (gcd_test1.html): The generate_report process action uses the varbinary content (contract_content) as output in report data. The write_file process action uses the file_path as file_location and contract_content as file data:   One time it actually succeeded to write the report into the S3 bucket but I am not able to make it work anymore. The following error is provided when executing this: Error Number:2812,State:1,Class:162022-06-01T13:39:41.5731636+00:00 8000b77a-0000-ee00-b63f-84710c7967bb [ERR] Process action 'write_file_to_disk' in processflow 'generate_save_report'

Hi, I have a simple proces flow with only one step a decission box.I have created a control procedure for this step, with only one line of code execute ‘task’. However it seems that this task is not executed.I want to have a task to run the process manually (just in case of) So With this scipt I can have a task in the UI and it can be run in the scheduler.Is the scheduler able to execute a task with the exec command? 

How can I track if there is an error raised in my process flow. In the IAM the logging says that the process has run every hour, but when an error raises in the process flow, can I see this in the IAM or what ever. SQL scheduler has an event logging where the error is shown.

In our datamodel we have an entity that needs 2 files (Zebra zpl & resulting label pdf) in 1 record, is it possible to specify which binary should be used for the preview? Using windows platform. 

Hi all,Does anyone know how to check the filesize of a file which is uploaded as document.Many company’s still have a restriction on the file size of an attachment to be sent to them.I want to give a warning if the filesize exceeds a specific limit? 

Has anyone found a solution to show images, which are stored in Azure file storage, in a SSRS report?SSRS = SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi. We made a custom HTML field for a card list and it shows attachments. Some are too big to show inline and we want to give them a link. This works.. but for some reason the target predicate  get stripped with the result that the link doesn't open in a new tab/window.  How can we solve this?  Deep linking to a preview component is not supported yet right? 

Our Windows application has many carefully designed screens to optimize usability and screen estate usage. Our users are now very much used to the way the application looks and behaves. Because web apps seem to be the future I have tried the Universal GUI several times these past few years. Of course most development went into functionality which is understandable. But when will the interface itself get more options? It doesn’t have to look exactly the same as the Windows application but it would be nice if all our designed screens could at least be ported to some kind of Windows theme.It’s great to have a web app that’s able to adapt to smaller screens but for office use Universal still appears rather basic. Perhaps style sheet examples could be provided to tweak the Universal look and behavior towards a Windows look?

I'm trying to show an image from a URL. This works perfectly in the Windows GUI, however in Universal this does not work (see picture below).Resizing the preview component in Universal does not seem to work.If someone knows how to fix this, I'd like to know. Thanks! 😄 Working image URL preview component in Windows GUI.No picture shows up in the Universal GUI.

I am trying to pass a variable to a DevExpress report using the reports process.All seems fine in DevExpress itself, but in the GUI (universal) i always get -1 instead of the expected 100001 or default 100000. My question basically is, what am i missing here? (GUI version2022.1.16 b1.0GUI released on27-05-2022Platform version2022.1) pic 1+2 shows the devexpress setuppic 3+4 shows the SF setuppic 5+6+7 shows the steps i take in the GUI 

For a client we’re working on connecting them to their corporate SSO solution. Fortunatly the documentation the client provided us indicated that they support OpenID as method.In prepraring the request to enable connection to their SSO solution the client’s IT team asked us to provide the redirect url that would be used. As this is the first time using Thinkwise to connect to OpenID I’m unaware of what this URL will be and I can’t find it in the relevant documentation.Can someone provide me with this url?Let’s asume that the environment will behttps://sampleurl.nl/Indicium (for the indicium interface) https://sampleurl.nl/Universal (for the universal interface)

Hi,I’m searching about enabling SSO with O365 Microssoft on the Web GUI in Azure.I have already enabled the same on our Universal Projects and works like a charm.Is the SSO with an external authenticator supported ? From the answer in comments on this question It implies that it is supported:    What settings do I need to place and in which location for enabling the SSO with an external authenticator ? All anwers are welcome :) 

In the new GUI (2022.1.17) some settings have been changed. For example the color of the scheduler.Is it possible to change this color? I tried the resource color and the extender property ‘Header color’ without result.    

A lot of times the answer to resolve improved GUI experience is to use generated HTML in the Universal GUI in combination with the card-list as this one auto-sizes. However treating VARBINARY columns are troublesome especially with regards to performance. Are there any best practices or tips out there to treat for example uploaded icons for categories?
