Create prefilter group via IAMOn the backlog

I would like to add a minor detail to this idea if possible: the possibility for users to add self-chosen icons to their personal prefilters to improve the recognisability when multiple personal prefilters are created.

Get rid of control procedure

Hello Tejo,If you only want to drop the context procedure itself, just generating and executing the source code would be enough. This does not require a new generate definition or validate definition. You can also execute just the contexts, without having to execute all other source code.Hopefully this answers your question!

User roles

Hello Sulea,It should be possible to set up a prefilter that limits the set of items to a specific set, depending on the conditions that you want to apply. If you want to ensure that this prefilter is always switched on for a specific role you can use the Data authorization prefilter option in the Roles menu.It depends a bit on what you actually want to achieve and in which way your datamodel has been set up that determines how you should shape your prefilter.Hopefully this answers your question. If it doesn't, just inquire further 😄

How do i setup an IAM Enduser project by a client computer?

Hello WB9,There is no need for every client to install the entire Software Factory and all databases, if they don't develop, but only use the end product.All you need is a shortcut to the IAM application on the client's desktop with the appropriate INI file, the IAM has to be located in a location that can be reached by the client and the users have to be setup in IAM itself.Also, IAM requires an Indicium that is up and running to be able to run properly.More information about setting up the windows GUI can be found here: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/windows_guiMore information about setting up IAM, applications and users can be found here: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/iam/iam_generalMore information about setting up Indicium can be found here: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/deployment/indicium Hopefully this answers your question. If it doesn't, please inquire further 😄

Progress bar control in grid which should show the completion percentage

Hello Usha,You can set up a domain with the progress bar control, as you already mentioned yourself. This can be a domain with a numeric or an int as a datatype. You would then have to set up a column that uses that domain.In that column you can calculate a value, or technically a percentage, depending on the conditions that you want to apply. This can be calculated in a trigger or a default, depending on your preferred situation.So for example:Knowing first name = 10% Knowing first name + surname = 25% Knowing first name + surname + phone number = 40% Knowing first name + surname + phone number + email address = 60% Knowing first name + surname + phone number + email address + full home address = 100%Something like that 😄This will then be presented in the application like this: Hopefully this answers your question!

User roles

Well that depends on what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it.If you want to directly assign specific items or item categories to an employee within your application, you would have to create a link table such as employee_item where you can connect those two to each other. In this situation you can specify that employee A can see items of category A/B/C, but employee B can see items of category C/D/E. After that you can set up your prefilter to respond in such a way that only the items that exist in employee_item, based on the user that is currently logged in, to be shown.If you want to limit the items per role, for example in such a way that senior employees can see more items than junior employees, you could set up two prefilters that limit the list of items, and assign those prefilters to the appropriate roles. These roles would be assigned to user groups, the user groups to the user, thus limiting the data that one can see.Hopefully this clarifies things a bit more �

Roles

Hello Sulea,Roles are created in the Software Factory and synchronized to IAM.In IAM you create a user group and assign certain roles to certain user groups. These user groups are then assigned to a user. When that user then logs in, they will only receive those roles that have been assigned to their user group(s).More information about this can be found here on the docs, which contains a lot of information about all features within the Thinkwise platform: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/iam_admin/user_groupsHopefully this answers your question.

Multiple open projects and how to handle themCompleted

Hello everyone following this topic,Since we have recently released the 2022.2 version of the Software Factory, we have already started working on the new features for the 2023.1 release. One of these features is handling versioning in the Software Factory through temporal versioning.This means that we will do a complete revision of how projects and project versions are managed in the Software Factory, which also includes many of the issues discussed in all the comments above.A sneak preview on what we are planning on implementing can be found in the following blog:Once we are further along with the development we will present you with another blog with further details on the specific changes that will be noticeable by developers that use the Software Factory, so stay tuned 😄Hopefully this will bring some enthusiasm for the future! @Arie V , @Robert Jan de Nie , @Erwin Ekkel : I tagged you guys since you guys seem actively involved in this topic 😅

Multiple instances of TSF in IAM

In the 2023.1 version of the Software Factory the way projects/project versions are managed will be changed. This change includes the removal of the project tab that Edo mentions in his response.The way a project will be selected within the Software Factory will change, which opens up the possibility of having multiple SF instances within one IAM, without the aforementioned issue of not being able to select a project.A sneak preview of all intended changes can be found in the following blog:Also keep an eye out for any future blogs on this topic, which will follow as we continue development 😄

Create report with dynamic file name

Hello,It should be possible to use the report properties for this. The property you'd want to use for your example is the Export path property. Try the following steps:Set up an additional report parameter with any name you want. Select the Export path option in the Property field of the report parameter. Create a default, or update an existing default if one exists by including the new parameter and setting this with the name and the extension that you want to provide the file with.If the report is set up with a print preview as the default report action, this new parameter will be hidden in the report pop-up. However in the case of an export to PDF an additional parameter will show up that presents the file name that it will receive when exported.More information can be found here: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/reports#report-parameters Hopefully this helps! 😄

hide task button on form only

Hi Marvin,As far as I know this isn't possible (if someone else thinks otherwise, please correct me 😅). You could raise an idea for this to see if more people would like to have this feature. Perhaps we can then implement it in the future!

Look-up task parameter

Hello Elena,Within the task menu a tab page exists that allows you to set up the task parameter look up values called Task look-ups. If you use the + icon just below Settings it allows you to select the table that you want to base the look-up and which specific columns are required. Within the form you can then detail how you want the look-up to respond, such as a combo as you’ve mentioned. Hopefully this helps. If not, feel free to inquire further ! 😄

tsf_send_message shows the default message after the custom message

Hey Maarten,It looks like an attempt has been made to save the record with one or more mandatory fields being empty. In your second screenshot it looks like the default has emptied the value of ‘Besteld’.I expect that this is what is causing the second message to pop up, because this is a default GUI message that alerts you to mandatory values not being present.There are some options possible but I would personally recommend using a combination of a default and a layout. Use the default to throw the message, use the layout to prevent the user from saving the record if the provided value does not comply to the present requirements.Hope this helps 😄

tsf_send_message shows the default message after the custom message

@Maarten : If you are editing in grid and that field is the last to fill in, then using TAB to leave the last field will automatically trigger the row to be saved as well as triggering the default. Not the most fancy of solutions, but maybe you could swap the last column with the second last column?

Detect the use of mass import/update through GUI in flow.Closed

Hey Freddy,As far as I know there is no easy fix for this.Perhaps you could consider moving the functionality from the trigger to a task, which could then be scheduled? By scheduling it, the automatic calculation can then be executed periodically instead of every time a record is inserted, which would fix the problem. The only downside being that the calculation is not executed immediately, but might be slightly delayed.

Limit auto refresh to subject only without referencesOpen

Hey Freddy,I'm pretty sure no option exists for this yet. You can only disable the auto refresh on the table itself, or on the tables that are details of another table. However, if the main table is refreshed, all details that are visible in the GUI will be refreshed as well.Maybe it's an option to not show the detail with the drawing immediately, but only after the user actually selects the tab page? This would be similar to the Columns tab page within Tables or Prefilters within Subjects, for example.Otherwise you can create an idea for this and we can look into implementing this in the future 😄

Use generated columns in default sort

Hey Tejo,While it is true that any generated column cannot manually be included in the columns used for sorting, it is theoretically possible to modify the dynamic control procedure to include these columns in the sorting order of the table, depending on how this functionality was implemented in your project. Unfortunately this is something that I cannot determine based on your post alone. If this is also not an option you can considering adding a hidden expression field to the table that selects the trace value and use that for sorting instead.Hope this helps!

Open next tab with the process flow

Hello Usha,Your process flow doesn't work because the GUI does not know what you're trying to navigate to, since the only two process actions in your process flow are the Add rows.Try adding an additional process action between Add row employee_detail and Add row personal_detail called Activate detail. This requires you to specify which detail tab you want to navigate to and which reference you're using to get there, which in this case would be your reference between employee_detail and personal_detail.Hope this helps! 😄

Open next tab with the process flow

Hi Usha,Database wise I would advise to include the employee_detail_id column in the PK of personal_detail in general. Unless a personal_detail can also exist outside the context of the employee_detail record, then that is not an option.I do believe your process flow looks okay though. The input/output parameters you have provided should not be necessary, when you add a new row the GUI should automatically ‘jump’ to the newly added record and then activate the detail in the context of that record. So you might want to try removing these input/output parameters from the process actions and see if that helps.@Usha : Just to be sure, did you refresh your model/rebooted your application after editing the process flow and then tried again? Because this is required after you modify a process flow, since the GUI needs to reload the model's objects 😄

Show project version

Hey Tejo,The only method through which this can currently be achieved is by putting the project version in the translation of your application in IAM. That way it will be visible to the user in the top bar of the application. When there are multiple applications it will also be visible in the application list in the bottom left corner.Would this help?Also as a bit of a heads-up: from the 2023.1 version project versions will cease to exist. If you haven't read the blog on this topic just yet, you can find it here:

disable drag drop in context

Hey Tejo,If the context disables the tasks that are used for the drag-drop functionality, the drag-drop itself will also automatically not be possible. You don't need to write a separate context procedure or setup different settings for this specifically.Does this answer your question?

Hello,Just making sure but are you sure that the value of the reply_to is actually used when sending the email? I'm not sure what kind of mailer you are using, which makes it a little hard to answer this question. Maybe you can share a couple more screenshots of how you have setup the mailer itself etc.?

How to fill a task parameter based on a cube field?

Hey Dennis,Could be me but it seems like the invoice_id in your cube is empty? If it is empty in the cubei tself it will also be empty in the task pop-up. But I can't say with 100% certainty because your task pop-up overlaps the cube values a little bit.Perhaps a silly question but have you checked whether the view is actually returning a value for the invoice_id? 😅
