In an earlier blog post, we wrote that some of Indicium Universal's APIs were more complicated than their counterparts in the ‘regular’ version of Indicium. It was hinted at that the reason for this difference was related to security improvements and that we were looking into ways to simplify them. This is important to us because we want everyone to use Indicium Universal as much as possible due to its improved security and it would be a shame if its more complicated APIs would be a deterrent. As of version 2020.1.1 of Indicium Universal, we have combined the best of both worlds; simple and secure APIs. The APIs of Indicium Universal are now as simple as they used to be without giving up on any security or data integrity checks. In this blog we want to give more background information on why we needed to complicate the APIs in the first place and how we managed to simplify them again. In doing so, we want to shed more light on what Indicium does behind the scenes, which challenges we f
Why do zombies breathe?If we want to categorize zombies into one of the following groups: humans, animals, plants or materials, the closest we’d get would be humans. This group includes the basic abilities for humans, such as the most important one: breathing. Categorizing zombies as humans means zombies will own the same basic abilities as humans. Now I don’t know if I am crazy, but why would a zombie need oxygen? As is known, zombies can stay under water for an unlimited amount of time, given that they do not dissolve, and when its head is separated from its body, including lungs, the head will stay alive as long as the brain isn’t damaged. This means the basic breathing ability is useless. Besides the useless ability, zombies can infect other living beings. If we add this ability, it would mean that humans can infect others. To make a difference between humans and zombies, a new group should be created for zombies, which will be similar to the humans group. By creat
I often have this message in the Web GUI when logging in again using this screen (for example when the browser tab is closed and opened again): What is it, and why is it shown? It says the application is not available, but I do not agree on that, because when I click OK the application does seems to work?
Does anyone know if it’s possible to send a push notification to a mobile user. F.e. to notice an employee that there is a change in his planning. I’m not talking about a badge in the app but about a notification in the message center of a mobile phone.
Dear Universal Team, As I was reading the Universal Update of March 2020, I was wondering if there was any shortcut for clearing the cache. I read that the functionality for that should for now go through: log-in screen→ clear cache → log-in with cleared cache. When I'm developing i mostly use CTRL + ALT + F5 for clearing my cache when I'm already logged in and want to reload the files. I wonder if this is possible for the Universal GUI? Or is there some other way to do this, when logged in? Thanks in Advance, Jimmy Scheer Pre-Sales | ThinkWise
I am trying to configure the login page for the webgui to my likings. I have noticed the following behaviour: After changing the setting.ini to: Application_title = Binatic Software b.v. www.binatic.nl Application_login_logo = \\*******\logo_binatic.jpg Browsericon = \\*******\favicon.ico ShowLoginInfo = No and recycling the application pool I have the following, desired, result: After logging in, logging out and then using SHIFT-F5 in the browser to clear cache, I get: The title is the same title I use within the IAM. I cannot get the right logo/title back unless I recycle the application pool again. Is this the intended behaviour?
Hi, i have 2 tables as shown in the picture below: when i try to set up a look-up in Subjects on item_cast columns, it works only for item_type_cast, the final output is shown in the picture below: when i press the “search” icon, i see no entries in warehouse_items_table. Main problem is: i don’t know how to build a look-up with a reference to 2 primary keys.
On this screen you see the details of the selected shipment in the list, on the tab page next to it (Edit/add). When you select another row, you see the details from that shipment. What if we want to have a new tab with the details of another shipment next to the shipment that is already selected? So we would like to see the details of more than one row at the same time.
We have the requirement that a user should be able to write a flat csv file to a fileshare. This file is created in a task-script. Because of security reasons the xp_cmdshell is turned off for ‘normal’ users. We can’t turn this on from a sql script with the command EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1; We had the idea to turn the xp_cmdshell on just before writing the file to the file share and directly after the file has been written we turn the xp_cmdshell off again. The file is a csv file used for import in a financial system. What should be an alternative without giving anyone the xp_cmdshell rights in de SQL DB?
When executing a some tasks I get the message “CLEAR PANEL”. What is causing this message? After clearing the message with “Informatiepaneel wissen” the panel is cleared and disappears. But the space that was used by the “Informatiepaneel” is not freed. So it is a lot of unused space. Is this a bug? I am using the web GUI version 2019.2.17.0.
Is there a way to suppress the application title on the webgui login page? I would like to use a logo only, but when I enter no value in the parameter ApplicationTitle it uses the default Thinkwise’'. I have tried the values No and None but they do not work.
Does anyone know why this tree structure shows up in a list. Which setting causes this behaviour? I don’t manage to get rid of it. I want to show the “opdracht” field the “deel” field and the “dagnummer” in a normal list and not some of a tree structure. It’s good to know that this behaviour shows up in our mobile menu started from the windows GUI. But in the mobile GUI the “dagnummer” shows up before the “Deel”.
Are there options to control the excel import function per subject? What i would like to do is by default set the following options for 1 subject: tickbox for: import use clipboard (ticked) tickbox for: column names are translations (ticked)
We use the Thinkwise Platform to build massive administrative systems that support companies in their core processes. Not all of these companies have the required expertise when it comes to the management and maintenance of hosting a database and web server. This makes sense, every man to his trade. Yet many companies deploy their software on-premise.In this blog, we explore various facets of a different approaches on deploying applications on Azure. Managing applications on Azure is relatively easy, as there is no need to worry about the underlying infrastructure or services.Both database and web servers are easily scalable and exposing the application world-wide is relatively easy. Depending on the scenario, deploying the application on Azure is cheaper than on-premise.To be clear, we are not talking about Azure Virtual Machines in this blog. Azure VM is an IaaS solution, not much different from hosting at a datacenter. While it does remove the need to worry about the infrastructure
Google Play and the Apple App Store require a number of screenshots for an app before it is admitted to the store. For iOS, these screenshots must exactly match the specified dimensions. But creating a 2732 x 2048 screenshot on a 1920 x 1080 monitor can be quite a challenge. This posts describes an easy way to create those screenshots using the Chrome DevTools. Step 1 Open the Thinkwise Viewer in debug mode using the included debug.bat file. This will show the Chrome DevTools inside the viewer. Step 2 Click the device toolbar icon at the top to show the Device Toolbar: Step 3 Select the appropriate device from the device toolbar. Optionally change the orientation using the rotate icon. Don’t worry if the image is zoomed or if it’s too large for your display. If the device is not available you can add an emulated or custom device using the Edit option. Step 4 Create a screenshot using the option Capture full size screenshot and select the location where to save the file. Step 5 File
We have created a new screentype. At design the Available for user preferences is checked. When we log in in the web version and open a previous designed screentype we have options to change it to other screen types As you can see the new Screentype FF_detail_tiles is unavailable to choose. Also another problem is that when we set a specific table as default to the new screentype, another screentype can not be chosen Is there somewhere an option that I overlooked, so that the new screentype is available to choose and when table is opened with the new screentype other screentypes can be chosen? At the moment we use verion 2019.02
i've created the INI file for testing my application (thinkwise courses): Database , server name and credentials works fine in MS SQL Management studio. But i receive “'project_vrs'” when I try to execute the application….
Hello, I'm not sure if it happened after the update to version 2020.1, but if I do a creation and I get the question if I want to copy project folder then no new version folder will be created. Permissions on the directory are correct. It is noticeable that in the "Copy project version" screen Project is empty and the version is set to 1.00. I can select the project and set the correct version number and all is being update except the creation of the new folder. What could be the cause of this?
Is there a document stating the proper datatypes for the parameters of the FTP connector?
I get the following error when I execute a task which use the TSFReportMailer in the Windows GUI of our application. I receive this error message since the installation of Microsoft Office 2019. Which steps do I need to take to fix this problem?
Hi all, After upgrading to the 2020 we are unable to use the Indicium viewer anymore. Is this a known problem, or is there something wrong on my side?
Dear Thinkwise Relation, First, I wish you and your loved ones good health in this very unusual and difficult time. In order to protect our employees and relations against contamination with the Coronavirus, Thinkwise has taken several measures that are in line with the recommendations made by the government. This means that: Work in our office buildings is being limited; Employees are working from home as much as possible using online tools and telephone; Our projects will continue as usual; Support is still readily available. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. Moller Toma (community manager)
I can see in the session log who is logged in and when he/she has done this using what kind of software. Which is nice. But i have no idea how long this information will stay in this logging. Can anyone tell me how long the information in the session log will be saved? And is there a way to influence this period?
I'm trying to monitor or find out how to deal with 'test coverage' using unit tests in the SF. Let's say i'm having the subject "Project" with a number, description, start date and an end date. I have applied a constraint that the start date must be equal to or before the end date. To prevent the user of having an error message that makes no sense (*1 see image), I've added a default concept telling the user he's doing things that are not possible. For this default a unit test can be added. And also for other concepts (layouts, task etc.) unit tests can be created. I want to measure that all SQL code (logic) is tested properly. When you generate the unit test for the situation above, you'll get this: create procedure def_project( @default_mode tinyint, -- 0 = add, 1 = update @import_mode tinyint, -- 0 = regular, 1 = import row, 3 = import @cursor_from_col_id varchar(255), -- column that triggered the default @cursor_to_col_id varchar(255) output, -- cursor
I'm wondering if there are any people here having experience with deploying the same application to different companies combined with the usage of the same IAM database. What we're doing is that we deliver the same application to multiple companies. Due to the pricing plan we apply we are in control of the amount of users and what modules (roles) we let them use. I currently don't know exactly how we could set up or use IAM to have one (only 1) system administrator per company that can manage their users, e.g. change permissions, but not adding new users or modules they don't have access to. When taking a look at the Administrator roles (https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/iam/administrators.html) and trying them out, it looks to me that they don't really apply to us. Alternatively, we could build another application on top of IAM dealing with all these issues, but that's really something we don't want to do I guess? Another alternative is to deploy per customer 1 IAM database, but
