Hi, We generate some XML files for a financial interface. These XML files are generated by a Scheduled Process flow. On a daily basis this averages on about 40 files. These files are saved in a Azure File storage. However, our client has a shared disk in the company network, where a File Handler is scanning a set folder. When a XML is in this folder, it is uploaded to the Financial Interface, Currently, the end user has to download these XML files manually, and place them in the shared drive.We want to automate this process, so that the end-user has no longer to this. These files cannot be zipped, but must be 40 separate files written to this shared drive. What would be the best way to achieve this? Any advice in the right direction is very welcome. Regards, Blommetje
IntroductionThe Software Factory provides a menu item where it is possible to access screens related to a large part of your model, named “Model content” (formerly “Full model”).Because these screens are not shown in the context of a particular process, all available data in the screen is shown. This results in a lot of tab pages that display a lot of information.These screens are also present on another place in the SF, where the are optimized for the process they are part of. Think of:Data model > Tables: when you want to create a new table. At this stage you don't need to worry about the UI aspects of the table. User interface > Screen types: when you want to change a screen type. This screen contains a handy designer which can be used to visualize what your screen will look like. Processes > Tasks: when you want to introduce a variant for a task. The screen type here is set up hierarchically, which means there will be enough space to work with when a variant is introduced.
As developer we are given some data model table types, namely making a Table, a View or a Snapshot. In the documentation it only says "In a snapshot, just as in a view, data from one or more tables can be combined, though in a snapshot this data is actually saved." I am unsure how to use it and do not really have the time to experiment with it. Is there someone that can show me what a Snapshot is, what it does, how to set it up (in depth preferably) and what advantages (and maybe disadvantages) it has? Thanks in advance!
Hi,We'd like to use the following Thinkstore solution: But like the last comment in that closed topic says: could you please update this solution to get rid of said errors? It seems it hasn't been updated since that topic's been made.It's a really nice piece of functionality, that we'd love to see working straight out of the box.Thanks :)
Hi. I have flow that downloads a file from the internet HTTP connector, which I subsequently want to unzip. This doesn't work.. the return JSON value stays NULL and there is not errorlog in indicium.. how do I find out what is going wrong? Ps. I would be great if you update the docs with an example output JSON.. It just says that a JSON is returned not what it looks like so we know how to process it.
In this example I have 2 screens both showing data from the same view:A BWhen I have both screens open and I change the data thru screen B I need to do an manual F5 when I go back to screen A. Is it possible to have it automagically perform a F5 on the reactivating of the screen?I can use “auto update” but I dislike the fact that it is not realtime unless I use for example 1 second. But that causes a lot of sql requests.Any suggestions?
Hi,In a windows gui we cannot have a subflow (some API calls which can take a few seconds) in a manually started processflow, so we have made a systemflow starting this subflow based on a queue table.From the client, we have a task starting a processflow that inserts a record in the queue table, and then system flow will execute. During the execution, I want to disable the task-button and when the systemflow is finished I want to refresh the table so the user sees the new information.In the queue we have a processed bit, so it’s possible the processflow progress. When the processed bit is set, we can finish the processflow. Using waitfor delay seems to freeze the whole application.Is it possible to pause or temporarily loop a processflow, without freezing the app?
Hello, we're using material filled icons with an subicon from icons8 to add form headers to our form. If i would zoom in to 400%, the icon is displayed correctly:However, when i zoom out to 300%, the icon is scaled weird and this goes on the further you zoom out.The image look correctly on all zoom levels when we download it. Is this an universal bug?
After the upgrade to 2023.2. The message “Model folder specification has been phased out and is no longer available” appears at the ‘validate definition’ step, with a reference to ‘c: temp’ . however that file path is no longer in use anywhere in the model.
Hi everyone,We're working an a screen showing a venue that belongs to a topic. There are more venues for the main topic. So, there are speakers for the topic, and the speaker is selected with a venue for that topic. So, the speaker is linked at the topic. The speaker has more topics he can speak about. However, we want to be able to add more topics to this venue. Each speaker confirms the topic at a later date if he or she is speaking about a topic at that venue.We can't seem to get a list of topics (linked to the speaker) for the venue, so that we can select 1 or more topics to add to that venue. How would we best get this done?So, we have topics, and topics have available speakers. Each speaker has one or more topics. We select a venue, and go into that venue. We then want to have a list of topics that are linked to the speaker of the venue. The venue is now our t1. Can we make a view of possible topics (linked to the speaker) in a variant of venue that contains all topics for the sp

All the standard indicium API's are expecting JSON and have JSON as output, also most of the 3rd party API's use JSON, therefore I think it would be useful to have some different JSON approaches and examples at one place, please feel free to add your own in the comments.Creating JSONWhen creating a simple JSON statement it would look something like this, this is without data from a table, but for example data you get in a process flow for 1 record and need to pass it to a JSON API.--Having an example variabledeclare @json nvarchar(max)set @json = ( select 0 as Value_1 ,1 as Value_2 ,1 as Value_3 ,1 as Value_4 ,0 as Value_5 ,0 as Value_6 ,0 as Value_7 for json path, without_array_wrapper)The output would look like this:{ "Value_1": 0, "Value_2": 1, "Value_3": 1, "Value_4": 1, "Value_5": 0, "Value_6": 0, "Value_7": 0}When you leave out the "without_array_wrapper” you will treat the set as an array and the result would look like this,
I want to use the new Toolbar component but in version 2023.2.11 b1.0 sizing of icons still doesn't work. The topic below says it has been solved. In which version is this solved?
Sometimes some of our users have the problem process flows running from Universal don't work anymore. Logged in on their system (a scanner running Android) using a different username it works, running the process flow on a different system using their account name doesn't start the process flow. In the Indicium log no messages turn up.How can such a situation occur, is there a way we can find out what's the problem and how can we fix this? Sometimes resyncing the application to IAM works, last time this happened we needed to dis- and enable the application to get the process flows running for these users. Of cause, this is not the right solution.
Hey all,I have a task where the parameter ignores the constant value even after the creation. here is the domain: This is the only default assigned to the task:declare @print_qty int = (select top 1 cast(setting_value as int) from setting where setting_name = 'default_no_print_copies')if (@no_of_copies is null) begin set @no_of_copies = @print_qtyend This is the process variable Any idea what could be causing the issue?
We currently have a task where if you click on it. It redirects you to an other table and it activates its document. This part work on our Dev envoirement and we have synchronized it with our Acc envoirement as well. But testing it on our Acc envoirement. The variable does not get filled in our process flow monitor in Acc envoirement. While on the Dev envoirement it does. How can I solve this issue?
Hello,I would like to generate a report based on a table record. After the generation, I would like to insert it as a record into another table (the storage is in azure blob storage).My attempt was with "generate report" process flow action, after which I tried inserting the value into the table with a task, however that did not work.Would you please provide me with some tips on how to approach this subject? Thank you..
It looks like that the StartupProcedure no longer works?Has something changed?Last test shows that it only works for the Windows GUI and users with Windows Authentication.I thought it should work for all GUI's and any type of user authentication, correct? Windows GUI + Windows Authentication Windows GUI + SQL Authentication
I managed to put a customers signature on the shippingdocument by using the “ add picture” and its location setting in Crystal Report. However, because the signature (collected on a tablet with the Universal GUI) is a transparent .png, it shows like this in the PDF: When I edit the .png to a pink background, it shows like this: Is there a way to solve this by getting a non-transparant signature from the U GUI ?
Hi, I'm toying with the following. I have an Indicium and Universal GUI. In this universal I open a View, that displays another website. This website is also mine, connects with the same data database, but shows some things that cannot be done in Universal. I have created a URL showsomething.companyname.com and open this in a view (iframe like). This works fine. BUT I do not want this data to be visible by anyone browsing the web. So, I (have) a login on this. Now the end user must login in the Universal gui, and again in the 'iframe’. This is not super user friendly and I think that we must be able to pass the user login cookie to this site as well. If the user is logged in Universal, it shows data. If you browse the site outside of Universal; Access Denied. I have read this topic but we can't get it working. Do we need to place the 'iframe’ in a subfolder in Indicium? Or next to it? It would be very nice if this is possible. Any help in the right direction is very welcome! Thanks!Blo
Hi, As stated in the earlier post from community, FTP connector do not support SFTP.Can we use it now or any other ways to upload document with SFTP?
I have a processflow that does some logging and calling an api when certain tasks are executed.This works fine except for one task.This task also calls another processflow and therefor never calls my api processflow…My first idea was “can I call a processflow from another processflow?”, well it seems I can do that with a subflow…But a subflow cannot call a task (I use a task to collect data before logging and calling the api).I can add the logic also to the processflow that is being executed but I rather keep everything in a single location ;)Any suggestions?
Is it not yet possible to use conditional layout on a cube in Universal? Can't find it in the feuture matrix in TCP. It works in Windows GUI but not in universal.

Hi all,I have the following problem. Can anyone think along with me, and push me in the right direction?We have an app deployed that is on premise at the customer. Latest version of both gui and IAM. Everything works fine on my pc, and uat environment, but the customer environment throws this 405 error. See here: Errors and Unknown error popupsAny advice on this? I would like to advice the customer on what to change here;Thanks! Blommetje(title is weird - had issues with the forbidden keywords. Found out they we in the screenshot through Teams - but can’t change it! Should be of course ‘on-premise’)
