Tags in the Software FactoryBlog

Hi everyone,In every day life we encounter all kinds of tags, like in the store where we find price tags. These tags are essential for you to know what the price of a particular product is, but it also tells you whether or not the product is actually for sale and not there for decoration. Nowadays more and more price tags are shown on a smart display and can show the percentage of discount or other information. Tags in essence can hold important information.But hey, we’re developing software here. Tags can also be significant for your software. The Software Factory allows you to define your own tags that you can link to many model entities. Here’s what our Documentation page says about tags:A tag is a freely definable property that can be linked to rows of a table and can be provided with a value. They provide information that is not available in the Software Factory's meta model.You can use tags administratively or in a meta control procedure (dynamic model) to manipulate your model.

Gathering user experience to (fully) automate deployments

I am looking for user experiences or ideas on a way to automate deployments of the Thinkwise platform. For this part limited to the steps that are part of Thinkwise, so no external service that do talk to the application.Feel free to also share if it is not exactly the environment my situation is in, so it could perhaps help other users as well or trigger possibilities. Any other tips are welcome as wellEnvironment: AzureFull deployment steps:Disable Azure App service (running Indicium / Universal GUI). Making sure nothing is running instead of only deactivating an application in IAM. Scale up Elastic Pool. Apply pre-upgrade script(s) on product DB. Only when data needs patching before an upgrade like in a situation a column becomes mandatory and could be empty before. Apply all generated deployment scripts for the product Apply after-upgrade scrip(s) on product DB. Only if any are needed. Upgrade Indicium with a newer version. Upgrade Universal GUI with a newer version. Apply hotfixes

Hidden prefilters suddenly showing up

As strange as it may sound, I have two prefilters set to on_hidden and off_hidden respectively, but when I click the not hidden prefilter, the hidden two suddenly show up. This seems to happen in the variant of a a table. The following screenshot shows how the prefilters are set: When the user goes to the right screen, they see the following:There is only one prefilter beside the search bar. But when the user clicks the prefilter the following happens:I do not know why it behaves like this, I have checked the context procedure and we do nothing in those with prefilters. And it does not have a layout procedure. What could be wrong?

Scatter plot with dynamic x-axis and y-axis

I was wondering whether it is possible to visualize a scatter plot within Thinkwise cubes? If so, which chart type should I use? Furthermore, I want to be able to set up the x- and y-axis dynamically such that they are always at the average level of the value specified on the x- and y-axis (see picture below). Is this possible?

Universal file upload security

Hi,We are searching for a secure file upload solution in a customer portal (universal GUI). Has someone experience with this to have a secure file upload that no infected files or malware files are uploaded to the server? Initially, we created a process flow, mailing the file as attachment, and then reading out the mailbox, so that there is at least a check via the mail. But that takes some time and is not clear to end user why the uploaded file is not immediately visible.So we are searching for an alternative approach.Thanks in advance!

How to clear user-defined prefilters?

For a process I need to clear all filters and prefilters (including user-defined) to make sure a newly created row can be selected and the flow can continue from there.I have tried the following process actions:clear prefilter restore prefilter default prefilterThere is basically no description on how these three actions work:https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_actions#clear-filtersrestore-filtersdefault-prefilters Is it possible to turn off (all) user-defined prefilters in a process flow?

Custom components, previewer (iframe) and it's restrictions.

I'm wondering with all the restrictions that the function of the previewer als portal to custom functionality will be. I was testing some external tooling to embed via the previewer. <iframe data-testid="previewer__setting-url" src="https://******/boards/1364237053117597402" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox" class="tsf-emotion-97u7f4"></iframe> Appareantly somethings are allowed, whilst others are not. Blocked form submission to '' because the form's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-forms' permission is not set. Is there an overview of what will work in a previewer and what not? I know I can test everything and find out, but wouldn't it be easier to share your thoughts on restrictions and allowed functions? Anyway, why are form submissions blocked? And can I unblock them?

Authorization to variant of table

We process different types of events, questionnaires and more. So we created different variants for that.To assign the authorization roles, we should be able to assign full rights to a webinar event, but only read access to e.g. masterclasses. Or looking at questionnaires: full access to invitations and no rights to session tests. Of course based on the menu we can limit the access to webinars / masterclasses. But giving full access to table evnt (for events, webinars, masterclasses, examinations) for webinars and read to masterclasses, the user has full access to both.So, can we get the option to grant access for a variant of a table?

Migrating Next group without label / icon to Field in next column

Currently we are investigating if we could upgrade our platform version from 2024.1 to 2024.3 Listed as a possible breaking change is that using the Next group option in the form would add an empty space above the first visible column of that group, with the recommendation to use the Field in next column option instead: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/blog/2024_2#field-in-next-column-support-for-the-universal-guiFor one of the major screens in our application it will result in undesired behaviour like this (blank space above the fields):However, when we change the option Next group to Field in next column, all fields will be reverted to the full width of the column regardless of the value of Field no. of positions further:Intended behaviour from version 2024.1:How can achieve having 2 (or more) fields next to each other per column without the column header in the 2024.3 version of the platform?

Hyperlink behavior

Can someone explain the behavior below?On mobile devices, hyperlinks are displayed in 2 ways. I just can't figure out why and I cannot reproduce this either. The URLs are exactly the same and are shown within a preview component. The example in the middle shows the desired behavior, where we can open the image with a hyperlink and the user can zoom the image or share it via WhatApp etc. Afterwards, this popup can be closed again with the 'Done' button.The example on the right does not work properly, because the image cannot be closed, the only option is to restart the application. What should be the right way to achieve this in a proper way? SF/UI version 2024.3 / 2024.3.10

Windows GUI deployment to multiple paths providing 'incorrect' new-version warning

Out situation is that we have 4 totally separate environments for each of the DTAP-environments.As we are using (also) the Windows GUI, and the fact that Thinkwise is advising to use the TWDeployer for installation, we install the Windows GUI to all 4 environments via 1 downloaded installer package.If we afterwards open for example the Windows GUI linked to the DEV-environment, and after that open the Windows GUI to the TEST-environment, we get the following message:This message ofcourse is incorrect as the installation is equal as stated before.A workaround is the install just for 1 environment, and then copy the binary's to the other 3 environments.If we do this, no ‘new version’-warning is displayed.Question is how others do this and if there is a way to follow the advised way of installation based on the Thinkwise Deployer. Thanks. best regards,Cyril

Web Connector how to deal with form-data response.

I have an API that I call to extract certain pages from a PDF. The request seems to be ok. However I get a response in form-data back and I'm stock on how to process. < HTTP/1.1 200 OK< Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2024 14:36:40 GMT< Content-Type: application/pdf< Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attachment"; filename="QUERO%20QUERO%201S24_rearranged.pdf"< Content-Length: 518605Now I fetch it with @document_data, but it needs treatment to be correct. The previewer cannot read it because probably the content-disposition header should be stripped?

control date output from date picker control

I have a Crystal Report that expects 2 dates as parameters.When I run a trace on the db using an extended event I can see what query the Crystal Repost is executing:exec "VMS"."dbo"."reporting_price_and_purchasing_headerinfo_v2";1 9, 1, N'1-1-2020', N'29-8-2024'The problem seems to be in the formatting of the date which is dd-mm-yyyy while the SP expects a DATE which is yyyy-mm-ddWhen I run the CR report manually and enter 2020-01-01 and 2024-08-28 as dates the trace shows:EXEC "VMS"."dbo"."reporting_price_and_purchasing_headerinfo_v2";1 9, 1, N'2020-01-01', N'2024-08-29'And the report shows the correct data.But how can I force the date picker in my Thinkwise application to output the selected date as yyyy-mm-dd rather than the more human readable (on this side of the big Atlantic puddle) dd-mm-yyyy?This question is related to my previous topic but the focus shifted from debugging to fixing a specific issue.

Web connector vs HTTP connector

I changed an existing HTTP connector to a web connector so we can change API key in IAM. Unfortunately there seems to be a difference in how the request body is forward. I have a generated request body that worked in the HTTP connector, type application/json In the web connector I've translated this in body type JSON and one input parameter that gets the generated body json. The API provider gives back a JSON parsing error on the web connector.

Performance Form List

@Yara Visser is actively working on a project that utilizes the form list and with the latest release of the U-GUI it's workable for this project (we needed the combos). However there is one performance thing, of which I am curious on how this can be improved. The form list uses a table, in which, you define your questions and answers. Whilst answers can be of different type a layout procedure has to be used to show the correct answer typed field. This is great of small form lists, but not for form lists that can have up to a 100 questions. I saw a test example of about 50 questions, which leads to 50 layout procedures to be fired. Can't we make this smarter? A typical call is 40-50ms .. if I have 100 questions this will be 4-5s.. This is a typical scenario of multi-row execution. Can't there be just one call from U-GUI for all the relevant rows in the form list?Any ideas on this @Arie V @Erik Brink @Vincent Doppenberg
