Enhancing Document Search in Thinkwise with AI Integration

Hello, I'm exploring ways to enhance document search capabilities within Thinkwise, specifically focusing on textual metadata such as the content of the document, document name, document type (name), document number, and author. Could you point me towards the documentation to documentation or resources for integrating AI-powered search, including leveraging external services like OpenAI, configuring custom search criteria, ensuring relevance and ranking of results, and implementing features such as natural language processing and document summarization?

Common integrations with Thinkwise applications

The Thinkwise Platform offers a wide range of integration options, allowing you to connect your application to virtually any third-party application, tool or service. In many cases this can be done using out-of-the-box integrations: ready-made components, controls, and connectors to integrating with, for example, Microsoft Exchange, Maps, OpenID, AI and barcode scanning. For all other integration needs, the platform provides generic connectors that allow you to connect to web services or APIs, databases, cloud services, and more. We are often asked which integrations have already been realized by us or our customers, and whether there are any solutions that we recommend for specific use-cases. In this blog post we list a number of implemented integrations that are known to work well in combination with the platform. This article focuses on functional integrations with Thinkwise applications. In addition, the platform also offers many DevOps-related integration options to streamline the

Error when using generate report (colorspace not found)

Hello, We are building a report which works when it is started as a ‘Start Table Report’, but not when used with a ‘Generate Report’ task. We want to store the document we generate in our database, along with the record that it should be attached to. For that reason we need to be able to access the file_data, file_name, and file_path in the process/system flow. We are generating the report, and then using the ‘Write_file’ action to store the generated report in our file system. From here I want to use the ‘Add row’ action to add the document to our database. Generating the report works, but when I go to open the PDF I get the following error: It is saying that the colorspace is not valid in the PDF. We are using the windows gui to generate the report. We have used DevExpress to build the report. Any idea how to fix this?

Generative AI via an enrichment is incredibly slow

Hello everyone, We recently implemented a solution for manual tests. This is that we can generate a description using generative AI. This works well for single objects, but when I want to generate descriptions for all of the remaining 200 tests, it becomes incredibly slow, and eventually even freezes. I thought this was my code at first, but when I tested it with the already present description generator for template code, it did the exact same. So now I have to generate my descriptions one by one, which will take an incredibly long time, otherwise I can wait about an hour for it to reach 25% only for it to freeze. We make use of GPT-4.0-turbo. Is this known to be slow or is there something wrong?

Getting a global vertical scrollbar for my screen(types)

Hi all, I'm working on building a screen type with a lot of information on the screen in the form of tables (5) and a form (1). During the design phase, it was determined that the page is vertically oriented and that users should be able to scroll through it at the page level (not at the table level). We assumed that the vertical scrollbar would automatically be added when you put 'too many elements' on the page, but this is not the case, and that's where my problem lies. I would like to have the scrollbar, but I'm not sure how, and I've already tried several things. Can someone point me in the right direction? I’ve added a sketch for clarity. ps. Im on the most recent version of thinkwise and using the universal GUI. Thanks in advance!

Go to row not working on different pages

Hello! I have noticed that, sometimes, when a screen has pages, the “Go to row” process action does not work if the record is saved with a custom task on a different page than the one that is opened. For example, now i have the first page opened. If the record is saved on the second one, the focus from “Go to row” is not going to be put on the record. Is there a different way to select a row even if it is on another page?

Why are all indexes rebuilt during a smart upgrade

We currently use the Thinkwise 2023.3 product. It seems that in this version all indexes are being rebuilt when doing a smart upgrade. In the current version of our application only one new table is introduced, but it takes much longer than in the previous version of the SF (2023.1) we used. Hundreds if of indexes are created, so the upgrade takes longer than expected. Anybody else have experienced this? Is this new in this version and if so, why? Can't it be “smarter”?

Maps data mapping limited to maximum of rows/markers?

We have a (detail) dataset with 65 rows with x-y coordinates, which we like to show on the map. For some reason only 50 items are visible on the map. Is there a maximum number of markers that can be shown on a (detail) map?

Secure deletion of files

Is there a way to securely delete a file from Thinkwise which for example is stored in Azure (Files), on a local filesystem (share) or other type of storage device? The requirement comes from a GDPR related specification which states that it should be possible to securely delete a file by: Overwriting it’s contents with random data to make it non-reproducable Overwriting it’s contents by encrypting the file (and throw away the key)

Disable the PWA installation option

Due to a problem we have with the OpenID Connect authentication provider in combination with PWA we would like to disable the “Install as PWA” from the menu so end-users cannot use this functionality and just use the browser based variant. Does anyone know if and how PWA installation can be disabled?

Pagination and max no of records in Universal 2024.1.13

Pagination in Universal is a nice new feature in 2024.1.13. However, it appears that the number of pages for a table is maximized to the modeled number of "max no. of records" for a table. For performance reasons with the Windows Gui, we have provided some tables with a maximum number of records, but in Universal this is not necessary with pagination. It is even inconvenient because some of the records are no longer accessible. Or am I missing something?

Getting a -5 from a generate report action which should only go as low as -4

Is it possible that the docs was not updated https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/process_flows_connectors#generate-report ? it says theres a status code as low as -4 but i am getting a contraint error on the output parameter because it is trying to output -5. Now i am not 100% sure there isn’t something weird going on in my process and the -5 is coming from somewhere else. But to rule it out would be nice to get some confirmation. Thanks.

What is the purpose of Process actions right in roles?

What is the purpose of being able to enable/disable process actions in a role? The reason asking is that when one action is not enabled, the whole process flow is not granted and therefor not working. Here an example situation: Example of a simple process flow There is a table task on several screens which all execute the same type of action and flow to opening a report. For management it is easy to have all entries in the same flow. In a role only one or limited screens need to be available to the user, so only those parts of the flow need to be accessible I would think. Lets say the first line in the example and not the Pink and Green marked ones. Another consequence is when you are developing and adding a new screen with the same task and you add it to the flow. Let say the Green marked one. Now in all role that have this flow, the functionality is broken, because there is a new action available even though that would not touch anything in the old roles. You need to enable this acti

Catch HTTP Errors

With an HTTP connector within a custom protocol process flow we make a call to an external API and in certain scenarios it returns an expected 404 code as response. How can we ensure that such a 404 response is not written as an error in the Indicium log? We like to keep the log file as clean as possible.

Object not found error

Although there is a solution mentioned about 8 months ago to solve this problem (disabling auto-edit), this is not possible for our solution. We make use of the form list functionality which depends on auto-edit being always “on”. The seconds possible cause is that we make use of state changing forms. This means that a user enters data in the form and when done, clicks on a task-button to post the form to be processed by a backoffice system. The task-button starts a process which performs additional validation and when successful posts the form. The posting of the form changes the state of the form by which it is no longer visible to the end-user and the form is automatically closed using a process task. The form is closed, but this does not prevent presenting the “Object was not found...” error message. We know that the form is no longer available (due to no longer complying to the filter condition of the variant), but cannot find a way to suppress the error message.

How can I show progress in the execution of a multirow task?

I have a multi row task that starts a process flow. This process flow executes HTTP requests for the selected rows. Now I want to show progress (tsf_send_progress), but this progress is not shown in the Windows GUI. When I look in the debug tab I can see the messages are sent. How can I show progress?

Importing & using excel data in a single flow

Hi, I am running into a problem when trying to import and use the data of an excel document within a flow. I have made a task that has a file column which is coupled with azure file storage. Uploading the task to azure file storage works fine. However, I want to use the content of the excel in the flow that has been started by this task. The process action that, at least to me, makes the most sense to use would be the read file process action. This is where I ran into my first problem. The input of the source file parameter could be random when a user inserts files with the same name. Additionally, the read file process action does not translate the data from base64 to a string, is this intended behaviour? Or would this not be possible with the read file process action/ any other process action? In short: Is it possible to import an excel file from a task and use the data from the excel file within the same flow? I am looking forward to any ideas that will get this working!

Show User Location on MAP

We are trying to create a screen where the user can get their current location and want to show this directly for verification using the maps component. From here we want to start location-related tasks, such as field inspections, observations, etc. For the test, this view is used ​SELECT tsf_user = dbo.tsf_user() , device_gps_location = NULL , maps_coords = '{"CoordSets": [[{"Lon":"4.7635140", "Lat":"52.4253230"}]]}' , map_marker = 'BLUE' ​ It looks like below: A marker on the map should move to current location after leaving the GPS Location field. I know how to control the maps component, but I can't get it to work. If possible the current location of the user is shown immediately when the screen is opened and the users allows the application to use the location. Any ideas?

How can I show the element translation of view lookup?

There is a domain with 5 elements and they all have a translation. In a task I am using a parameter with the same domain, but to limit the options in the selection, I have used a view to reduce them to logic choices and the column uses the same domain. When I now use the task, it does indeed limit my choices, but now it does not show the translated values. Clicking open the lookup, you see the options there are translated. How can I make it work that the parameter also uses these? Task showing db value, while the lookup view shows the translation. (Universal GUI 2024.1.12.2 Platform: 2023.3 with hotfixes applied)

Persistent default procedure

Hi, I’m encountering issues while editing a specific table form. When I click on any of the checkboxes, it immediately clears the forms. I assume this is related to the default procedure because when I disable the default procedure in subjects, the issue no longer occurs. However, even after re-enabling the default procedure and commenting out all of the code, and then executing the empty default procedure script, the problem persists. Also, this problem only occurs in Universal Gui (2024.1.11.1.0). What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

IAM - Is it possible to set the user configuration on user group level?

Is it possible to set the user Configuration on a user group level instead of per-user? https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/iam/users#configure-user-preferences Select a Configuration or create a new configuration using the pop-up. Available configurations are: None - No user preferences are stored and the user preferences ribbon is hidden. Resize - Users can collapse and expand their menu and ribbon. Furthermore, they can change the sort sequence and column width in a grid view. Move - Resize plus the option to configure their own start objects and set the sort sequence of all subjects. OnOff - All options except for changing screen types. Complete - All user preferences options are available to the user. As far as I understand setting this to complete also enables the user to change screen types and save user-defined-prefilters. I couldn’t find an option to set this on a user group.

Maps shows gray on customer location

I am using the Maps component, but when I open the location, the map keeps gray. Sometimes, just before the gray block, less than a second something blue is appearing but then it goes to gray. This functionality does work when I use the application outside of their network it does show the data. However I want to find out where the application is being blocked. How can I best approach this problem?
