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?

We want to use shortcuts to start tasks in Universal.If we link shortcuts to certain tasks, they are displayed correctly and function correctly in the Windows GUI.This applies to both a main screen and a detail screen that is on a TAB.However, in the Universal GUI we see the shortcuts of tasks on the main screen (and they function as expected), but the shortcuts are not shown for the tasks on the detail screen. They don't work there either.Is this something we haven't set up correctly, or is this not supported in Universal yet? Windows GUI (both shortkeys are shown and functioning): Universal GUI (only shortkey on main screen is funcitoning, the one on detailscreen is missing): 

A customer had problems with writing smart upgrade files to disk, while full worked perfectly fine. When he changed the indicium user to domain\administrator user Smart also worked properly. The previous user was a  domain user with local admin right and SQL sysadmin rights. Can someone explain what rights the indicium user needs to have since I can't explain why one works and the other does not. Additional question: Is it necessary for the indicium application in IIS to be anonymous, or whether it is also possible on Windows authentication. This can also have certain consequences for the handling of rights.

Can someone explain to me how this is not considered to be a merge conflict? The column was renamed both in the trunk and in the branch. Should it not give a merge conflict since it was renamed in both? Trunk version 1.22 → branch 1.0 created Trunk v 1.23 column x renamed to xxtBranch v 1.01 createdBranc v 1.01 column x renamed to xxbb  

Is it possible to let multiple rows look at the same file instead of uploading it multiple times as copies?

It appears that the ctrl+ functionality in the universal gui (version 2022.2.14) is only working when the form is activated. When the grid is activated it resizes the browser form. Is this by default, a bug or something to post in the idea section? It is hard to explain to a customer that he has to activate the form before he is able to use the short cut.

When I have configured a StartupProcedure in the extended properties 2 parameters are needed (@project_id and @message).Is it possible to know what version is starting up in that Stored Proc?

Hello Team, I have write a query inside an Expression (select e.email_id from email e where e.email_id=@email_id) for column (email_id ) to fetch email_id dynamically.Can anyone suggest me if the above code is correct for write where condition inside a column Expression? Need help !Regards,Sujit

When generating a report in a system flow and using the report data stream as input for a write file connector the resulting PDF file produces an invalid colorspace error when opening in Acrobat Reader.I’ve already tried several settings such as ANSI encoding in the write file connector without preamble. Notepad++ confirms that the file is indeed saved in ANSI. The file starts with a readable PDF header just like any other PDF file.The same report produces working PDF files in another regular (non-system) process flow.How can I produce working PDF files in a system flow?

I’m trying to display a circle on the map component in the universal GUI (2022.2.13 b2.0) But nothing I do seems to alter the size of the circle. I’ve tried giving it two coordinates hoping that this would set the size but the circle remains the same. {        "CoordSets": [               [                       {                               "Lon": "10.865400",                               "Lat": "55.565922"                       },                       {                               "Lon": "10.865400",                               "Lat": "56.0150816223465"                       }               ]        ]}The docs don’t ever seem to mention the circle geometric type for the map component. How is this supposed to work?

Hi everyone,Trying to get up-'n-running with the Resource Scheduler poses some problems to us. Our client wants to schedule time blocks of 15 minutes for materials, locations and people. This means implementing a scale different from the day based one. We need an Extender for this, and the web GUI, since Universal doesn't support (this type of?) Extenders yet.We used the base project from the store in a test project. A simple schedule for days for a person could be done. Once the extender got included, things got blurry for us. We followed the docs to the letter, but it doesn't want to work for us. Here's what we did;3 views were created for resource, task and worktime. A stored procedure fills these views with data. The Extender was configured as described in the Docs. We looked into Screen Types, but we couldn't find anything wrong there. What's more, whenever we try to show a view in the web GUI, we get the following error: error messageAccording to users who are Scheduler experienc

Hi,For some business rules we need to know what the tenant_id is for the current logged in user.How do we achieve this. Is there a way te get additional user data (at least the tenant_id) for use in business logic?

A develop partner has a problem with creating deployment package with the Smart setting.First time running the deployment package (smart) it crashes on write code files (smart) with no error in the indicium log. The second time it crashes on write code files, with no error in the indicium log. At one point it crashed on a different point with the error below but most times the indicium log has no errors.We ran all hotfixes, indicium is up to date etc, Also we tried full upgrade that works perfectly and rebooting indicium had no effect. Anything else we can try or check? The problem is most times you don't get an error so you have no clue what's going wrong with the deployment package creation. : error:2022-10-07T09:27:25.0192874+02:00  [ERR] Process action 'clean_folder' in processflow 'system_flow_write_code_files_to_disk' threw an exception.

I found this a bit odd. I have a group of pre-filters that are off hidden and they showed up in the query. Because I missed a pre-filter, I missed some data records. I don't think this can be correct.  WHERE (t1.tenant_id = convert(int,SESSION_CONTEXT(N'tenant_id'))) AND t1.[tenant_id] = @p0 AND t1.[process_id] = @p1 AND ((exists ( select 1 from dbo.get_caller_process_tabs() cpt where cpt.process_id = t1.process_id and cpt.is_cancel = 1 )) OR (exists ( select 1 from dbo.get_caller_process_tabs() cpt where cpt.process_id = t1.process_id and cpt.is_close = 1 )) OR (exists ( select 1 from dbo.get_caller_process_tabs() cpt where cpt.process_id = t1.process_id and cpt.is_late = 1 )) OR (exists ( select 1 from dbo.get_caller_process_tabs() cpt where cpt.process_id = t1.process_id and cpt.is_open = 1 )) OR (exists ( select

For our project there are various roles created like :employee, employee_manager, hr_employee, hr_manager, adminWe have a functionality where the employee can use his privacy setting to hide his personal data from other employees. Currently the time sheet of one employee is hidden from other employee using prefilter with dbo.tsf_usr() functionality. My question is, if it is a manager role then he should be able to see his team’s time sheet.How can this be achieved?

In our internal application, we utilize Indicium Universal's resource/task staging functionality for executing tasks and updating forms with layouts and default values. However, a developer questioned what would happen when a resource or task is staged and then left idle.Say a client is improperly closed or disconnected (the active Universal GUI tab is closed, connection is lost, a power outage, etc.) just after they staged a resource. Indicium Universal has no way of knowing what to do with the staged resource, at least not through client instruction.Is there some default configuration for cleaning up memory taken up by idle staged resources? Is that something individual implementations should configure?If not, I would say a good default expiry time is equal to the lifetime of the user’s session. That way, when a user's session is expired, all their staged resources are cleared from Indicium Universal's memory.

In TCP, the detail screen on which information about the selected product is displayed (the available version number, etc.) is no longer visible.It concerns the part [Thinkwise products].Problem also occurs with a colleague.

I am reading xml files in a system flow with the new read file connector. I have a few files that are being read correctly and a few that are corrupted. The difference between the files is the encoding: the 'good’ files are UTF-8 encoded and the others are UTF-8-BOM. The latter is not read correctly, resulting in a string that looks like this:?<?xml version="1.0" encoding=The old read disk file does the same. However, my current Proces flow is working correctly.I have the feeling that the connectors behave different when comparing the Windows GUI (proces flow) and Indicium (system flow). I have noticed this before when I was trying to read a pdf file. The problem was the other way around: I was unable to read the pdf file correctly in the Windows gui but it works fine in a system flow.Main question: how do I read both an UTF-8 and an UTF-8-BOM correctly using the read file connector in a system flow?

How to ensure that data is displayed on each row instead of suppressing duplicate data.So in the example hereunder I want to have “AVE” on 10 times instead of 1 time.Who can help?

Hi. I think something is going not completely right with the systemflow. Why does the scheduling keep ending up in an error. It's generating big log-files. 2022-09-21T21:49:32.1540274+00:00 [ERR] Error scheduling system flow 'system_flow_test_unit_test' for application 5. (24f28e56)Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=0; handshake=15067; ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (258): Unknown error 258 at Microsoft.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.TryGetConnection(DbConnection owningObject, UInt32 waitForMultipleObjectsTimeout, Boolean allowCreate, Boolean onlyOneCheckConnection, DbConnectionOptions userOptions, DbConnectionInternal& conne

Hi, Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find it. Is there a YEAR picker in the web gui available? Something like this;  I only want my user to select a year. Not a day/month with it. I 've toyed with the domains and such, but no avail. Thnx! 

Hi,From the documentation it is not clear if it is possible to select a printer tray for the Print File (PDF) connector like with the reporting service.See https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_connectors#print-file-pdfIs that option available?We need to combine printing documents on blanc and on specific (preprinted) paper, located in different printer trays of the printer.Thanks in advance 

Hi all, I’ve checked the feature matrix on the searchterm conditional, but I can’t find the conditional format of the task parameters there.I use the condtional layout of the task parameters a lot, but it seems that it doesn’t work at the moment.Can you please add to the feature matrix. The Universal GUI we’re currently using is 2021.3.14.Perhaps it’s already solved in a newer version.Can I upgrade, with no issues to the latest GUI when our platform is still on 2021.2?   

Hi there,On our attachment table, whenever we upload a document - which will be first scanned by an antivirus - have to refresh manually before we can see the successfully scanned file.What I would like to do is, to initiate a 5-second timer and after that reloading the table. Trying to make my with a Process Flow. I am open to more solutions!Kind regards,Balazs Szeder
