@Bart Metselaar thanks for sharing your ideas, let’s iterate on this as both options don’t feel ideal just yet. Why do you show the prefilter name with the Chips? Would love to see that design without the name included, so only as background color for the icon. Could you share something like that? Chips with icon only would not cost additional space Chips with icon only reduces the additional color in the screen Chips with icon only don’t have a vertical display issue For me it’s perfectly fine to see the Prefilter name only on hover over and in the overflow menu. Agree with @Arie V , the proposed Chips are not a winner in my opinion. Although I don't know how ecstatically it will turn out.. can't you play with the visual height (raised vs flat) of the icon/button of the pre-filter?
Can the same be done with Google drive as well? I think so yes: Google Drive API overview | Google for Developers But let's not forget the idea here, the storage providers functionality has the ability to change the provider per instance, tenant.. all the options discussed here so far require that you custom make the integration and thus then have to custom make the variation as well, thus recreating something that already exists as a platform function. I really think in this case the flexible storage option is to be used more by adding the bigger providers by default via the platform and not having to build a similar solution, which never will be as powerful, as the modelled option cannot be overridden. Please vote :)!
Hi Freddy, About the first dot, when using multiple applications you can alter the schedule per application based on the Tenant their needs and wishes. If indeed you have 1 application that multiple tenants log-on to, it can only abide to one single schedule. Logic is then required to block further execution of processes that this System flow starts. You can create Custom schedules, if allowed for the System flow, so per application a different schedule can be created and/or chosen. Does this suffice? Or else, how do you see it functionally working? For the second dot, I'll create a new idea in your name as this is something that is more easily implemented. Edit: Ability to set System flow schedule frequency to run all-day | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com) I don't want the frequency fixed up front, in the end in some cases it's the client who could decide if it runs every 5 minutes or 60 minutes dependent on how frequent they would like the update. I am looking for ways to
I'd like to add to this topic with a few questions about DevExpress within Thinkwise instead of opening a new one: Is there an internal document or guide that Thinkwise uses for DevExpress best practic... I’d like to see official subreport support too, since the current workaround via Indicium is not something I’d like to use since it’s horrible to maintain. 😅 I actually started to play a bit with DevExpress reporting.. it's indeed a little puzzle. However you can probably work your way around sub reports using multiple detail report bands, I was able to create a report that basically consists out of 3 sub reports in this way.
Dear all, We now save all our attachments (files) to the server where the thinkwise application is hosted. But we want to migrate this to the cloud / sharepoint. Would it be possible to access these files through the thinkwise application. Also when no user is loged on. I now use a separate program (goodsync) which serves as synchronisation tool (two way) between the local files and our sharepoint. But it would be much nicer if these files could be directly be written / read in our sharepoint and no local files are needed anymore. regards Chris Sharepoint as a standard storage location! You have my vote!
Hi Harm, The options can be found at https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/cubes#configure-chart-properties. Universal at least supports all Area types, Bar, Line, Spline, StepLine, StepArea, single series Pie, and Doughnut. For other types that the SF supports like Box and Whisker or Chord: it might work if you can provide the correct data. Kind regards, Tim de Lang Hi @Tim de Lang, Quick question on this point. Are there any initiatives on the road-map that make these properties available per chart/cube? Like to add a json in the model? (like for example the actionbar in screentypes)Now it will be applied to all charts, and that's not very 'handy' in some cases. @Harm Horstman the bullets you can hide with 'drawAnchors : 0' in chart property. (this one I know)
Hey @Freddy, We're always open for ideas certainly. We are continuously improving the platform in all aspects. Moving expressions and calculated fields to Functionality is something I never thought of to be honest. In regards to being able to review expression fields, or any code, we want to move towards a Pull request style merge session where you can review all the actions with preferably live updates/data. As you can imagine, it's not as easy as adding a checkbox with Approved. On the 18th of April during the Developer event, Jasper will share the Roadmap and tell you all about the upcoming additions to the platform. Universal GUI is reaching its feature parity and we are closing in on bringing everyone new awesome features. Well I hope then that the event will be recorded, I will not be in the Netherlands on that day.
After careful consideration we have decided to close this idea, as it has limited added functional value compared to using expression fields. I prefer not to pollute my data model with expression fields, especially when that expression fields sole purpose would be for a conditional layout. To me it makes more sense to place this expression in the conditional layout instead of the table. Even better would it be if expression fields (the code) would move to functionality and you can then link the result to a expression field on a table or to a conditional layout. There would be many benefits.. including using TVF's. to populate 2 expression fields.. @Mark Jongeling is thinkwise exploring these types of improvements? Even for maintainability of code this would be better. you can review expressions.. et cetera..
Hello, In the grid of a view I use Conditional formatting to color rows red: The red color disappears when a number of rows are selected: Is there a way to five selected rows a different share of red or to prevent the selection to change its color? Probably only with custom css, but Thinkwise should change the active selection from background to for example a thicker left-border so that conditional layouts on a full row show properly and also html on a cardlist doesn’t flly get a grey background.
Hey Freddy, Not sure though but you can uncheck he Navigation checkbox in Subjects > Settings. Hopefully that does the trick. Alternatively, I made a similar concept before but that worked with detail tab pages. Those can be easily disabled when not relevant for example. Unfortunately disabling navigation doesn't work. And a solution with details is not wanted. Is this something considered a bug or just another idea?
@Anne Buit are there already related topics on this matter on the backlog? The mentioned idea is also nice, but it goes a bit further than just the ability to also search in the details, and have for example the ability to select/deselect fields to be included in that search. That would be the minimal I guess to cover for the chance of clogging system performance because it will take into account alle activated search fields. Where does this stand in the ambition to have functional parity between U-GUI and Win-GUI?
Is it possible to place the action bar vertical, alongside the grid for example? It's planned for the U-GUI release after the upcoming one. That said, I hope this will also count for the action bar. Chances might be this will just be for report/task bars.. @Tim de Lang any insights on this? Which vertical bars will be supported?
After updating Universal GUI I have to change the index.htm <title> to my company name. Update all splash images and favicons. We want one universal name for my application “Master Data” instead of “Universal” Is it possible to use the projectname in system messages (like “A new version of Universal is out 🎉” translation and with “A new version of Top Bakkers Master Data” is out, UPDATE NU” And, of course, use favicon and plashimages from TSF/database? You re-create all JS and CSS references with a build/Git version. I understand it but when Thinkwise use 1 static name, with static references to their CSS, JS code files all customers can create their own custom references in index.htm and don’t have te rename all code and title ;-) This one should get all the votes.. :)
Instead of adding the cancel button, perhaps just adding the option to create a new project and use a flow to guide you to the right place to do this. Basically you work in a exiting project or you want to create a new one..
Even better just create them by default. You are more likely to use them than not. Just like with a default or layout
I wish it was possible to show a google maps icon in a grid to open a popup with map, like it does in forms. Like below: You can get a long way with adding the icon and connect the cell-based double-click to opening a modal with the map.
Would be nice if Indicium could already do this for you as part of as it has already access to the files and has the ability to execute regex expressions.. then you don't need to merge anything and it could also work on non-windows installations like linux or containers.
We prefer and advice to use the paging mechanism by setting the "Page size” setting on the subject. This limits the loaded data and also gives the user a visual indicator. The advantage is that all records stay available for the user. Filtering to get a clear overview is still an option ofcourse. Can you bring up a TCP ticket if it is still important to get a virtual indicator after using the "max number of records” setting? Note: on a large set of data without these limitation the GUI currently brings on a top-statement of 100 records. We have plans to change this to use paging by default. I concur with @Mark_Plaggenborg here. In the WIndows GUI and Old Web GUi you get an indicator that you only have access to say a 1000 records.. while a table can have a multitude. Pagination is not the full answer if you ask me. This because, as discussed in other topics, it would still require you to load the full dataset as it just returns a defined number of rows of the result. Performance wis
Similar experience, especially with in-experienced users… In general the way of navigating a TW Application is somewhat a learning exercise, as it's not always that intuitive for first time users. I like this idea, but would see it as a setting.. to or navigate to main or to stay where you are when clicking on the open document. As sometimes you want to quickly switch between open documents and don't want to lose the position you ar in.
Hi Freddy, It sounds like this is an open end we did not implement in the first iterations. Can you bring up a TCP ticket for this? I can not say anything about the planning yet. We are finishing the list of features first. Best regards, Erik Brink TCP ticket added8713S
We are actually in the process of re-thinking about this. And are currently designing the UI/UX for this. Our intention are to make this available when the user is on a non-touch device. So on the desktop only. And have a touch alternative for this at some time down the path. We are still setting up all our priorities so I will be somewhat broad. It won't make Q1, but it will be this year. I hope before the summer. A bit curious on why not release it on all device? I guess a right-click component in a web-environment is sort of a modal-popup.. That you could activate with right click (mouse), right slide (touch) or even key-combination. Because I especially see advantages on touch devices to give cleaner access to more functionality because of the limited screen-size.
There is an open idea on this subject. I would love to see the open document show contextual information.
Hi, Chipping in here for my coworker Jaycee. We have a table with a quite some columns, and roughly 6k rows. We have removed all Expressions - and this has increased performance tremendously. Toggling prefilters and searching is now quite acceptable (not good enough) - but when jumping to the last page, the query is quite expensive. When we look at the query from the debugger and remove the last line <rest of the query>ORDER BY t1.[closing_time] DESC, t1.[shipment_id] ASC, t1.[vgm_closing_time] DESC/*OFFSET 5600 ROWS FETCH NEXT 25 ROWS ONLY*/ WITH the offset - the query takes roughly 15 seconds, but when we remove the OFFSET, it is faster. The table performs fairly ok, but when jumping to the last page, it lags (the offset being in play). This only happens in universal gui. WEB gui is way faster. Other elements like the prefilters are comparable. Any thoughts on this? Blommetje @Blommetje @Jaycee_C I think the difference between de WebGUI and Universal is that in the WebG
Hey Freddy, Do you mean this as a more generic way of using model-data/object in product-specific solutions? Psuedo code: -- Get iconselect dbo.tsf_get_icon_data('customer.svg')select dbo.tsf_get_transl_plural('customer_address')-- or in procedure styleexec tsf_get_icon_data 'customer.svg'exec tsf_get_transl_plural'customer_address' Not sure if this is technically feasible but I can understand the benefit of this. Maybe another way would be to have a more easy way of creating a function table or view that supplies this model data in your product database rather than having to manually create it. I would prefer a function style approach, and probably a TVF or view because of performance reasons.
Hi @Freddy, could you give a little example about how to do this. It is not clear to me. We tried to add the Font Awesome library to the index.html of the Universal folder. But I noticed that on refresh of the page the FA library is disappeared from the page source. I think that the DOM is rebuild by Universal’s Javascript. So, I like to know how we could add the Font Awesome library to Universal? @Harm Horstman I guess you have 3 options:First is to download the css : https://fontawesome.com/download and include it in custom.css file.Second is to include only the svgs you pretend to use.third, add the css as a proper image using tsql, with file_name and file_data column. You can get svg code from fontawesome site and cast it to varbinary.
