Detail rights from combined rolesNew

Currently a detail reference needs rights on the source table, the target table and the reference all in one role in order to work. However, we want to be able separate the roles for the source table and target table and the detail should only be shown to users who have permissions on the source table (including the reference) and target table.For example a situation with a product table and a calculation table with each their own menu item and their own role, but also a reference showing calculation as a detail on product. Some users only have a the product role and some users have both roles. Only for the users with both roles the detail should be shown.The only work-around we currently have is giving the product role rights to the calculation table without any column rights. But this way it always shows the detail, just with no content for users who only have the product role (the universal GUI shows an infinite loading animation). Which is very ugly and user unfriendly. So this is

Support for PostgreSQL as RDBMS typeOpen

The Thinkwise platform currently supports SQL Server, Oracle and DB2, three widely used RDBMS. According to Statista, they are indeed quite a popular choice and suited for large enterprise-level applications we make with Thinkwise.PostgreSQL (Postgres) is a open source RDBMS unlike the others, that there are no license fees, is highly extensible, and is used over all the world, even by major companies.I would love to see the interest by the Community for the Thinkwise platform to support PostgreSQL.

Importingfunctionality while while hiding add, copy and edit buttons.

Inside the Software factory it is possible to enable importing on a table even when that same table does not have permissions to CRUD. This creates a conflict because without those permissions I can’t import, yet I can start the import task up to the point where I can select an importtype. It will throw an error.In relation to above I’ve been trying to hide the CRUD buttons while maintaining the import functionality, is this possible?What Ive tried myself is:Deactivating permissions > breaks import Hidding the button types in the lay > breaks importIf it’s possible, how? If it’s not possible why is the import task available when the buttons are hidden / permissions are off.

Lookup header should have fixed heightOpen

When using a lookup the header starts with only a title, when you click a row it adds a subheader which directly changes the height of the header, which in turn changes the position of the grid, making you miss double clicks. I’ve added a gif for reference.My idea is to give the header a fixed height, regardless of the existance of a subheader.😁

Is the "Start empty with filter" working as intended in the Universal GUI?

Reading a response by Arie I saw the mention of “Start empty with filter” option that on can use on Subject. Excited that this is seemingly working in Universal, I tried the feature. The result is however different than what I was expecting.Windows GUI:When opening a screen from the menu, you will have it load without results and a Filter Form popup will happen.You can choose to straight away filter or click “OK” without entering filter data. In the last situation all the data will load as if you had never chosen to enable the option “Start empty with filter”.Universal GUI:When opening a screen from the menu, you will have it load without results and it will show a text in the grid “Use find or filter to view data”.I have to open the Filter Form myself if I want to use it or start using the Combined Filter.So far this is acceptable even though it works a bit different. The part where it does not actually do what I would like, is that I can never get the full data show anymore. After I

Badge count is Zero on the main screen

Hi,I have a scenario here, that the badge count becomes 0, but originally it has a value.What could be the cause that the count becomes 0 from the tile main menu. Big tiles - navigating big tiles will redirect to a page Small tiles – are those open tiles Main Menu Screen Selecting the above Tile, example Big Tile 1, will display below screenshot, and each record once selected, the small tile on the ride side has Badge count that is changing accordinglyTile 1 Page The inside Tile has Badge count, but after clicking it, and go back to the main menu screen (the first screenshot) , the count become 0 in the main menu. Any of the 4 inside tiles, whenever we navigate and accessing it from main screen menu the count becomes 0.  But from the Page (Tile 1 Page) it always has a value.Please advice, where could possibly got wrong.Thank you

URL display columnOpen

IdeaMy idea is to be able to provide a ‘URL display column’ for a URL column in the SF, using another column from the same table as the display text. This could optionally be an expression column. This will ensure that URLs are displayed in a more user-friendly way and/or take up less space on the screen.Explanation / current situationWe have the 'URL' control for domains, which opens a URL in the active browser using a hyperlink.This works well, but often, you don't want to display the full URL. This could be because the original URL provides little meaningful information to the user or because it takes up too much space in your form or grid.One way to achieve this now is by creating an expression column that determines the desired display format, but this is more of a workaround than an ideal solution.

Automatically expand grouped rows in a gridNext release

Currently, grouped columns open by default with all groups closed and only the top row expanded, like this:I would like to have an option in the subject to open all grouped columns by default. Then it will look like this when I open the document: This option is already available for the tree settings, but not yet for grouped columns.

Assign tasks, reports and prefilters to a bar like detailsNext release

I would like to be able to assign a task/report/prefilter to a bar, like we assign details to a detailgroup. I want to be able to show other objects in the bar above the grid, than the objects on the form or even in the ribbon.In case we use 2 bars in the same screentype you get all the objects in both bars (see Any ideas/tricks to running tasks from different parts of the same screen?). It would be easier to assign the objects to the bar.

U-GUI: Form tabs foldableNext release

Hi. In the Universal GUI when you say in the SF to put something in the next tab it creates a new section. To have the same experience as putting something in the the next tab.. it would be nice have a section collapsable, so by default it doesn't clutter the screen and you can just fold it open when you want to see these details.  And perhaps it can come with an extra setting to have only one section open at the time or multiple.. just like with pre-filters where you can have only one or more.

Display type for prefilters and cube viewsNext release

At the moment, we show prefilters in the prefilter bar. The prefilters only show an icon, and no text. Unfortunately, it can be pretty hard to find an icon that perfectly reflects what the prefilter does. Therefore, a text/title can sometimes help. Luckily, this can be found in the overflow menu. We would like to see a display type for prefilters, where you can choose to show the prefilterOnly with an icon With icon and text Only with text In the overflow menuSame logic could be applied to cube views

Have separate icon for a filter when Active and when Inactive (on/off)Next release

Goal is to have a separate icon defined for a filter when Active and a different one for Inactive. We came to a situation where we need to have a filter icon more visible towards when active or inactive. Currently the only separation between the 2 states is the underscore under the icon itself.The idea is to be able to define the icon for Active like  and when Inactive likeWe can use icons of opposite state for defining the Active and Inactive state.

Asynchronous process flowsNext release

Per request of @Vincent Doppenberg & Rene JochemWe’ve build more than a few systemflows to act like if it is a asynchronous processflow. These systemflows will do some stuff when it finds a record in a certain table, for example the recalculation of prices within an (larger) offer, which can take a while to complete due to fetching stuff like current prices from the outside world. The systemflow will scan every 5 seconds to see if there is something it can do and for a very large percentage of its lifespan it will find nothing to do. With enough applications on a server this will cause harsh spikes on them.What we were and still are looking for are asynchronous process flows, that for example are triggered by the end users push on a button (within the Windows GUI) in which the process flow will act like a systemflow does and needs no more user interaction so that the user can either log out or do something completely different with the application.rgds Ricky

Write file process action - target file path (output) not working?

Hi  I have a process that I've been troubleshooting why the file is not saving to the target file path,  First I've tried to use absolute path but it's not working, then I use relative path which is the screenshot and still not working. Then I figure out that I have to put the relative path under the Target file name, in order to save to the expected path like below.   I'm just curious why the target file path is not functioning as expected? or did I missed out something? Please advice Thank you

TSF_dotNET.exe versus TSF_CS.exe

We consider using TSF_dotNET.exe instead of TSF_CS.exe from a network share for starting the Windows GUI in a terminal server setup. This way we want to avoid the growth of the App Data folder. Are there any disadvantages to this idea?

OAuth Refresh Token Connector Works in Windows GUI but Fails in Universal/System Flow

I’m experiencing an issue with the OAuth Refresh Token connector. It does not seem to function well in Universal or as a scheduled system flow.When changing the system flow and adding a table task to manually trigger the flow in the Windows GUI I successfully get a new access token with the current refresh token.But when I manually trigger the flow from the Universal GUI, or let the system flow run automatically (after changing it back to a system flow by removing the table task) in the background it fails. It seems like it can’t find the client_id, even though the OAuth Server seems to be configured correctly (It works in the Windows GUI after all).This is the errors I get in the Universal Indicium log:2025-01-29T13:29:44.2598716+01:00 8000e24f-0000-e700-b63f-84710c7967bb [ERR] Process action "oauth_refresh_token_connector_HMRC" in process flow "pf_hmrc_get_outcomes" in application 800 returned the following message: "invalid_requestclient_id is required" (ec7db0a5)2025-01-29T13:29:44

[Breaking] Thinkwise Container images breaking change

Previously, the container images both for the Universal GUI and Indicium Application Tier use port 80 to accept traffic.Starting from the release 2025.1.10 and newer, these images will use port 8080.Why this change?This is the first step towards rootless container images. Currently, the containers run under the user root. This is a bad container security practice. If a threat actor manages to get access to the container file-system, it can be abused.Luckily, the ASP.NET container image (which is the base image for Indicium) recently made it possible to run as a non-root user. Implementing this change will take a bit more time, but these changes should go unnoticed.Due to port privileges in the Linux kernel, ports below 1024 require root permissions. This creates an issue when running an application on port 80 without privileges.To permit future non-root users in opening a port, the published port will be moved from 80 to 8080.How will this impact me?If you have a running Universal or I

Add intelligent Search box to Universal GUI headerOpen

One of the greatest features in Office 365 nowadays is the Microsoft Search box on top of every Office 365 screen. It searches through all O365 tools, records and document content I have access to. This does away with the traditional need to navigate to the right menu/folder and then filter/search for the right record or document, as well as with the concept of adding a very long and descriptive title or tags for a document.Other tools also offer this feature and display the returned records order per Entity (see attachment for how Salesforce does this). Could this functionality be added to Thinkwise, having the Search box in the top bar of the Universal GUI?

Global application searchMerged

Who hasn’t seen a user entering an order number or a product number in the menu search bar only to get disappointed that it does not work this way? So why not make it possible to search for (the main) objects of our applications this way? Of course performance is key, so I am thinking it should be configured by a developer on what exactly will be searched and with what condition (different from what is configured as global search for each object).  There are countless ways to implement this and how the result could be presented. But by taking Microsoft office as an example, it would be cool if the user could select one of the configured subjects or search in all. When clicking on something in the result list, I am expecting that it will open the subject page jumped to/filter on the selected object.
