Enable task and report for empty subject - Default value set falseCompleted

It is important to keep in mind that this option is built as a replacement for having to disable these tasks through functionality in a context procedure.The reason we turned the checkbox on by default, is because the behaviour then matches how this would work in a context procedure. In there, by default you also have access to the tasks, until you make them read-only yourself (by setting the “_type” parameter).This concept does not work any different now that this option is available at the meta level. We wanted to prevent a default setting where people do not realise why their tasks have "suddenly" disappeared, without setting any checkbox. My question to @Arjan Sollie and the other 3 voters (@Mark Jongeling, @René W, @Erwin Ekkel): knowing these reasons, are you all still in favour of this wish? I would like to hear your opinions.Jeroen

Import table columns in TSF

Hello Harm, This field determines in which order your columns should appear in a filter popup. Do you have a general order number column in your importfile, to determine the order of the columns in the table? You can use this same field to map it on the filter order number (and I expect this also applies to the search order number). Does this help?

Extend SF Code search with multi line searchClosed

What do you think should happen when the text you are looking for is present, but contains extra spaces, tabpages etc (in front of, in between of, or after the code). A simple example: search string select *from tab code select *  from tab Should this code be in the result (so all spaces, tabs etc. should be ignored) or not?

Excluded menus

Hello René, The message refers to the ‘Menus’ tabpage which you can find under the platforms: This tabpage is actually a view. As long as all menus are checked, no records are present in the underlying table ‘platform_excluded_menu’. However, when a menu is unchecked, an instead of trigger will make sure that a record will be inserted in this table. If the last scenario is the case, it will not be possible to remove the platform with the delete-button, because of the referential constraint between the platform and excluded menu table. A child record is then still present, preventing the platform from being deleted. A task should be present on this screen so you can delete the platform after all, despite the presence of the child record. This is a known situation, which we would like to fix in the present future, so you don't have to go through the trouble of reporting it again. For now: when you want to delete a platform, first make sure that all menus are checked. We'll keep you

Exception when syncing AD groups

Hello Randolph, Looks like you are speaking of the service account for approaching the AD inside the task. I was talking about the database account under which the procedure is scheduled. You can check this by going to SQL Server Management Studio, clicking ‘SQL Server Agent’, ‘Jobs’ and then right click the job and click ‘Properties’. What is the owner of the job? That is the account that should have sufficient rights. Hope this helps. Jeroen

Exception when syncing AD groups

Hello Randolph, The import AD-group task executes certain steps for which you must have the appropriate rights in IAM. This means that your self-written procedure must be scheduled under an account with those rights. We expect that the reason the procedure does not fail every time is because running it will not always lead to an insert/update action, only when something has changed in the AD. But those times it does, the rights notification will occur. Can you check if running this procedure under an account with more rights in IAM fixes the problem?

During the upgrade to the 2020.2 the following will be converted: The “<” character will be replaced with “breakpoint_” during the upgrade.Example: “master_detail_<500” will become “master_detail_breakpoint_500”. Breakpoint screentypes with the correct breakpoint width will be added to the new “breakpoint” tab page.

Create a button for number generator

Hello Alex, How about a checkbox that is placed right after the number-field? You can set this up in ‘User interface’ > ‘Subjects’ > ‘Components’ > ‘Form’. When setting the “Field no. of positions further” for the checkbox-field to 0, it will appear right next to the number-field. You then have to write some logic: when the checkbox is checked the number will be generated in the number-field, and after this the checkbox will be emptied directly. With regards, Jeroen van den Belt

No lookup on generated tablesOn the backlog

For your information, we have a feature scheduled to optimize the generation process. Instead of deleting and recreating all generated objects when generating, the SQL merge statement will be used to only synchronize the changes. Another part of this project is to ensure that not every generated object can be adjusted. We will then also consider your idea as input.

Generated checkbox -> generated by control procedureMerged

Hey Robert Jan, For your information, we have a feature scheduled to optimize the generation process. Instead of deleting and recreating all generated objects when generating, the SQL merge statement will be used to only synchronize the changes. Another part of this project is to ensure that the source of generated objects will be shown. A topic about this subject already exists: https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas-18/show-source-for-generated-objects-258 More information can be found here.

Abillity to set the pop up for each row in task variant or table taskOn the backlog

Hello Remco, Thank you for your idea. We will use this wish as input in a project in which we will turn variants into so-called first class citizens. When we consider variants as an object in itself (eg a type of a task), it will be automatically possible to set the pop-up for each row checkbox for a task variant. Hope to have informed you enough.

Widen the Query input field at Calculated field (Data model)Completed

Thank you for submitting your idea. We have not only enlarged this field in the upcoming 2020.2 version of the SF, but also the other fields with a ‘SQLEDITOR’ control.  By using a group label instead of a regular field label, we were able to use this gained space to increase the field size. Because we value consistency, the same size is used for all of these ‘SQLEDITOR’ fields. This means the field height is set to 5 rows, and the field width now is equal to the column width. An example for the prefilter screen: Old situation New situation
