How does your development team review model changes?

We have the following proces: The work for our development team is defined in user stories, for each user story we create a feature branch. Once the development for the user story is done, the user story will be set to ‘ready for review’ and a different developer will review the code changes in the feature branch. This works fine for code, but in most user stories the model is also modified and we want to include that in our review.The challenge is that it is not always clear what exactly in the model is changed. I know there are different ways to get all modified objects of a branch (Model rights - new objects, Difference analysis, Prepare merge and look at impact), but none seems targeted on the review proces.So I am wondering, how does your development team review model changes? Is there a Thinkwise best practise?

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

Open document (modal) as detail

Hello,I have a question about the process action “Open document”.I would like to click on a specific cell in a grid in order to open a new document as modal window. The process action has a input parameter which makes sure the document is indeed opened as modal window. However, I want this modal to only show the details of the line I clicked on. Is this possible?As a workaround, I can:start the table task with (a) table task parameter(s) Open the document as modal Filter the document using the table task parameter(s)

Multiple API calls to same process flow at the same time

Hello,I have a question about a process flow which I made specifically for an integration with another application, say “App B”.The process flow makes sure to merge the correct record into the correct tables. There is some custom logic where checks are done whether to insert or to update the record. This is an atomic transaction.We have a webhook configured in App B, which means that every update App B receives is immediately send to our Thinkwise application. Now it seems that App B is updated via an integration as well. Sometimes, this means that the same record in App B gets updated multiple times in rapid succession.Our process flows is not able to handle this correctly. I get the following error: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object “XXX” Do you have any recommendations in order to solve this issue?Will simply rewriting my check into a merge statement rather than the custom check help resolve the issue? The issue is that I have no easy way to test the issue in another environ

TSFReportMailer exports different than regular report generation?

Being able to use the TSFReportMailer for quite some time within Windows, I noticed something odd today which I cannot explain. When using the TSFReportMailer for a report, I notice the generated file of the report has random spaces within the text fields, wich are consistent every time. However, if I generate the report through the GUI, the report is showing the correct format as expected.The following snippet is from a report that has been generated by TSFReportMailer:When generating the report directly from the GUI, this problem does not persists: I was wondering what could cause this, since the exact same report is being used within the TSFReportMailer ánd the GUI. The fields in the Crystal Reports file are regular field boxes or text boxes without any conditions or mutations to the text. The datasource (view) is showing the data correctly when querying directly on the database.What I can find online is that is a known issue with CR SP30 and lower, but I believe we are running the

How to customize display in the Grid and save the layout

Hi, Would need assistance to guide how does a particular users change the order display of column on their view. example, below screen shot is a grid_only screentype, and the original column order showsD | Status | Customer reference | File A particular user wants to change the order of the column to Status | D | File | Customer reference How can they move the column and save their own layout, so after logout and login to the system they still able to see the last saved layout they made. But other users should not be affected, they should see the default unless they change. Is there a configuration on the system to allow this change for User? Or any recommendation to make the column order dynamic? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Close document only for popup/zoom

Hi all,For a process flow I have a ‘Close document’ action. This will close the popup/zoom when the process flow is executed. However, I can also trigger the process flow when no popup is available. The process action will close the main screen (as the popup is a different variant of this screen).How can I prevent the process flow of closing the main screen? The ‘Open document’ action is in another process flow. Therefore, as far as I know, I cannot use a Document ID.Kind regards,Rick

[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

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

System flow - start date bug

Hi, I have made a system flow that mainly consists of 3 sub flows and a decision + 2 tasks for handling data of a flag value. This is the diagram in SF:The initial decision checks if the flag value can allow the process to start, otherwise it goes to end.In the execute subflows, the main process is based on doing repetitive GET calls on ms graph endpoints in order to recieve data for microsoft plans, buckets and tasks. For those processes I use some DTO tables in order to store the fresh data and at end of each subflow, the data from dto table/tables is sync in a transaction with the data from our environment. When I schaduled the flow to 1 minute for example, everything went smooth and I could see the changes in our environment but things went a little strange when I changed the scaduler to start the process each 5 seconds.In my oppinion it should check for the flag value and if this is not yet released from the previous run, it should stop the system flow immediately.

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.

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

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?

Archive a protected branch

Hello everyone,We have a protected branch that served as the version branch for a major change we made to the software. This has since been merged back into the MAIN branch and we now want to archive this protected branch. All branches with that version branch as its origin have been merged and/or archived. Is there a way to get this branch archived. If I need to delete all branches that have branched from this version branch I get the following error no matter how long ago they have merged: How can I archive the protected overlaying branch anyway, and if it is not possible without deleting the child branches, how can I get these deleted anyway?

Possible bug when switching between dropdown options

Hi!We have the following situation, we have some elements that each can have attached a picture.When the list element is changed, as you can see in the video, the image is not updated on UI, even if in background it seems like it does. At the moment of the video the background image was updating but only at css level, however we encountered also times when it stays the same.It shows the a2 image for a1 on both ui and cssthe proper image for a1Looks like if we select an element without an image or clear the element and select after that one with image it works, but this is just a remark, not a fix.

"Full" vs "Smart" Generation method

Recently we started the discussion in our develop team again if a “Smart” generation would be ‘smart’ when deploying to PROD. This as a smart deployment is most of the time much faster then a full deployment. And the fact that we deploy during office-hours we want our deployment to be as fast and smooth as possible.I think I had a chat with a Thinkwise Thinkwise-developer a year of 2 ago, and he stated that he always uses the Full method as he believed this was a more ‘reliable’ way of deploying.As there has been done a lot of work in optimization of the SF Generation in the last couple of year, we wonder if “Smart” is advised to use for deployment in PROD environments.

Process flow action "Change filter" possible when Meta does not allow. (Working as intended?)

When setting my role for a certain process flow, I noticed that the “Filter” was not enabled in “Meta”: Set Filter allowed, but Meta is disabledI had indeed not allowed “Filter” on the Subject and for the “Filter” I had set all columns to “Visible for filter” = “Never”.It came to a surprise that my Process flow was actually working and indeed using the “Change filter” action.Reading up in the documentation I see this:Description under process flow action “Change filter”I would think my situation is not conforming this statement as the Subject does not allow nor have any columns enabled for filtering.The reason I had initially disabled the filter options, was that I wanted to prevent a user attempting to change a filter and later I decided the research my process flow options.Now my main question is, is this functionality working as intended?I am happy it works as it does now, but I want to be aware when this is not supposed to work like this and might get fixed, causing these flows to
