Sharepoint document accessOpen

Hi Chris, Doesn’t the Graph APIs offer anything related to your subject ? thanks Mike I know this goodsync application uses msgraph for this purpose and has direct acces to our sharepoint using that. Hi Chris,I just had a chance to look it up:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/sharepoint?view=graph-rest-1.0It can do a lot of things :)We are already using graphAPIs for creating Draft emails amongst other things, so should not be too difficult to setup for Sharepoint.ThanksMike

Hello,Is there an update on this?We need to run this task manually in IAM but since there is a task and could easily be a scheduled system job…. Can you somehow give a HF with it ?IAM is having performance issues when this is not run at least once per 2-3 days. Thanks

IAM auto-provisioning of Users

Hi mperrot, Self-registration via OIDC is currently supported because it delegates the authentication process to a trusted OIDC provider. @mperrott following up on this suggestion from @Anne Buit: how about the Azure Self-service sign-up flow that you could optionally combine with Google / Facebook / personal Microsoft accounts, but all working through the Open ID registration between Thinkwise and the Azure AD tenant you have already configured? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/self-service-sign-up-user-flow Hi @Arie V ,Will test that out, so I will not mark a best answer yet.I will report back as soon as I have some results of what is doable.thank you for your suggestions. Much appreciated.thank youMike

IAM auto-provisioning of Users

Hi mperrot, Self-registration via OIDC is currently supported because it delegates the authentication process to a trusted OIDC provider. User self-registration without an OIDC provider would require a different approach, such as e-mail validation. This is currently not supported. It would require some end-user UI flow where the user can provide all the info necessary to create an account and follow-up with the flow where a password must be set for the IAM account. Feel free to create an idea for this in the ideation section. When the e-mail address is known, you could set up the accounts in IAM in advance as well and guide them to the reset-password flow. Alternatively, you could provide a custom registration website with a server-sided component that provisions the user in IAM. Last option would be to use a regular Thinkwise application for self-registration and inject a service account to allow access to this application. I’ve seen it done but it does have some security and deploym

Changing Role name in SF requires re-assigning to User Groups in IAM - this could be easierOpen

Hi @Suleyman ,We are using the default User groups and we sort it out from SF itself before we deploy to any other env.We did this as you are facing issues someone might forget or miss the release notes, renamings of roles etc…So each deployment we simply “Apply Default Authorization” in IAM and that is it. Users have the same Default User group already assigned to them so if a role is renamed is considered as added in IAM.We have carefully fine grained the Roles and User groups so if anything additional would be needed it can be done from Support team and communicate to include it in next release if it affects all users in the partigular User group.Hope this was useful to you.

Enable OLTP in memory table configuration in SF for cloud (Azure SQL, etc)Open

Hi @Anne Buit ,We were planning to have the in memory dedicated tables created as additional in the model and a seperate functionality to use them. We would control which functionality was gonna be used in-memory or not based on a flag we will set in place. So in DEV they are not created and not used. While on UAT they are there and the functionality enabled.So we would ignore errors during deployment for the particular environment on DEV which is not equivalent in resources to UAT which supports OLTP, and on the other hand place the correct configuration when creating in-memory tables for the UAT manually before deployment to it. This would be one time deal for creating the tables as doing smart deployment would be best.There should be a support for Azure in memory tables or Other cloud providers for such support in creating such tables.thanksMike

Placeholder config files to make updates easier.Open

Just my 2 cents, from my Azure deployments trying to make it as less time consuming. More can be automated but due to time constraints i came up with below.Pre-requisite:Create a folder containing the constant files of Universal as Universal_files. ie. Icons, configs, etcCreate a folder containing the constant files of Universal as Indicium_files. ie. Icons, configs, etcCreate a pre-upgrade script that cleans the folder of Universal/Indicium (rm -rf *)Create a post-upgrade script that copies the constant files from *_files to the related folder. ie. Copy from Universal_Files to wwwroot, Search and replace Thinkwise in html, etcBest Practice execution flow:Stop the App Service Go to Kudu Run the Pre-Upgrade Drag & Drop the GUI Zip in relevant folder Run the Post-Upgrade as soon as the zip are extracted by Kudu Start the App ServiceAs Rene already mentioned configs in Azure are in the App service so they are more safe there than in a file.

Guidance for setting up the authentication methods

Hi Harm,Fully agree on the above that you mention, took me similar time and effort just for a single provider so now I know how to do it but your point is correct, there should be more examples.Less time spend on R&D and proof of concepts.

Sending mails from Azure hosted Thinkwise.

Hi @Kasper Reijnders , We have integrated the O365 login single sign on etc using the Thinkwise OpenID Provider having an App registration in Azure. We Used the registered App that handles the login giving it additional permissions to be able to send emails with the graph API. The permissions was given on the App and logged in User there is a difference in the Type. Sample below, Note not all permissions are required.In the Thinkwise App we configured a Task that triggers a process flow so that the app itself logins to the graph API getting authorized for the User pressing the Task and we pass in the arguments for the API to create the email for the User. We have the emails of our users matched to tsf_user. So far we are only creating Draft emails as per our requirements but any of the API’s can be triggered as long as the right permissions are granted on the Registered App.

Anyone has Instructions for Moving Web GUI Scheduler to Universal Scheduler ?

Hi All,UPDATELayouts are applicable after multiple refresh and clean cache and server restart. They are not reflected immediately by single clean cache or refresh.Idea Cancelled:

Universal GUI Scheduler - Ability to apply conditional Layout to appointments, eventsClosed

Hi @Mark Jongeling ,Please close this idea as we have identified that layouts are applicable after multiple refresh and clean cache and server restart. They are not reflected immediately by single clean cache or refresh. We are checking the issue from our side what went wrong and we will open a community question in case others have faced the same. A TCP ticket will follow to be investigated.Thanks

Sending mails from Azure hosted Thinkwise.

Thanks Mark, for now we started using SendGrid which makes it easier for us. I would be very interested in the Graph API connection that would make it even easier and reduces the need of third party software. Hi @Kasper Reijnders,We in Hartmann are using Graph API for creating Draft emails within our Office application which will go Live soon. We are on Azure and are hosting Applications on App service with Azure SQL as DB.Apart from that we are already been using SendGrid for the past 2 years for our Mobile application with no issues. We integrated SendGrid with LogicApps to automate the process. Graph API works in creating email as Draft or sending etc, basically whatever the Graph Api supports from the email perspective. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/mail-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0

Anyone has Instructions for Moving Web GUI Scheduler to Universal Scheduler ?

Hi @Roel,We are looking into the configuration of the scheduler as we had it previously in WEB gui so that the same or similar can be implemented in Universal GUI. We have identified so far the below that we opened as ideas which are missing in Universal GUI Scheduler: Also seeing from documentation the below are also beneficial for us and should be implemented as well:https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/schedulerNot yet available:Double-click events, for instance, tasks or appointments. → Idea above Double-click time cells.→ Idea above Drag & drop an external row, for instance, from a grid. If more are identified will be placed here in comments.

User Experience Universal GUI - Votes collector topic

@Arie V ,Voted for most of them already :) Very well explained and we are in similar situation as you.

Ability to configure the lookup icon Visible OR Hidden in View OR Edit mode separately on a FORMClosed

@mperrott, all right, I will then close this idea. I will leave it open for comments, should there be a case in which the provided solution would not suffice. Hi @Jeroen van den Belt,For now I do not think any other scenario that we are not covered with the above. Keep comments open just in case we find something new.Thanks

Improve Data density of the Universal GUIOpen

Hi @Arie V ,We used the below CSS to resolve density and grid line height issue for now until a formal solution comes. This is also a major issue for us as well.Using WEB Gui before going to Universal this was a problem which we resolved with the below:On Universal we use below CSS /* Compact grids - supported by all browsers*/ .ag-root-wrapper { height: 165.5%!important; width: 166.5%!important; transform: scale(0.6); transform-origin: left top; } /* text when no data on grid*/ .ag-overlay-no-rows-center { font-size: 30px!important; color: rgb(16,39,100)!important; } /* headers */ .ag-root-wrapper .ag-header-cell-text { font-size: 18px; } .ag-root-wrapper .ag-header-group-text { font-size: 18px; } .ag-root-wrapper .group-title { font-size: 18px; } /* cells – view mode*/ .ag-root-wrapper .ag-cell span { font-size: 20px; } /* cells - edit mode */ .ag-root-wrapper .MuiFormControl-root input { font-siz

Ability to configure the lookup icon Visible OR Hidden in View OR Edit mode separately on a FORMClosed

@mperrott We use some custom.css to only show the Lookup controls in Read mode when hovering over a specific field, instead of always. Don't know exactly why each of these lines was necessary, but this is the code we use related to Lookups: @media (hover: hover) {/* Hide Dropdown and X icon in Form fields on hover*/ .form-field .has-lookup .autocomplete-popup-indicator, .form-field .has-lookup .MuiAutocomplete-clearIndicator { display: none } /*Exemptions for pop-ups since HTML is build up different and is cause the pop-up box to change size while hovering */ .popup__content .form-field .has-lookup .autocomplete-popup-indicator, .form-field .has-lookup .MuiAutocomplete-clearIndicator { display: block } .form-field:hover .has-lookup .autocomplete-popup-indicator, .form-field:hover .has-lookup .MuiAutocomplete-clearIndicator { display: block; } /* Hide Dropdown and X icon in Form fields when active*/ .form-field .has-lookup .Mui-focused.M

Cell based double-click in Grids instead of whole row in UniversalCompleted

@Arie V ,I saw this as a good opportunity in our Crew Planning where we are showing a grid of the Seafarers onBoard and the what is to be Planned Crew to be able to double click on the related column of the row that shows the process status of each Crew being planned.E.gInstead of using Action bar tasks in the Action bar for (P)lanning, (A)pproving and (C)onfirming a Crew I could easily just double click on the individual process and get the relevant process done.Saves clicks on selecting crew in the grid then clicking on the Task in Action Bar. I could directly click on the specific row/column (P,A,C) and get the process rolling for the seafarer in question.Hope this clears up the need of the Idea.

Make the current logged in application alias available through the SESSION_CONTEXTCompleted

@Andre te Raa, I think for having some kind of 'debug’ session variabele it might be better to create a new idea with your use case and the problem that extra property can solve. As for this idea, is this not the `tsf_appl_alias` we already have? Or am I misunderstanding the request? Hi @Dick van den Brink,I have opened it on version 2021.1.18 Universal/Indicium. I believe the Session_Context was indeed extended to provide the ‘tsf_appl_alias’ after that amongst other.You can close this IDEA as implemented :)Thanks

Copy To Clipboard control on a DomainCompleted

Hi @Anne Buit ,The above would be suited it is well explained and it will work for us. But as a recomendation it would be best to also include what I mention above so that developers could define which controls suited on the specific fields in a form.For example we can control if a form field is a lookup, has a drop down, etc, and it always occupies the field width with the default actions for it. Why not have it flexible for non lookup fields on a form to a setting to allow ‘Copy to Clipboard’ icon. This is common in many websites for form fields to offer a copy to clipboard, eg. In azure App service I can ‘Copy to Clipboard’ any of the Form values. Can we develop as first step what you suggested and as a second what I mention above?
