Hello all,We find that using icons is a very nice way to visually help the user navigate through the tool and understand the actions they will perform. We use the icons for example in the task buttons, made available in the icons tab. thee are all light weight svgs, but as you can see in the screenshot, they are a major reason for delaying the opening of the document, up to 10 seconds. Any ideas what the reason could be and what we can do to improve this performance?
Hi,Response times (ping) are sometimes quite slow and we are noticing with the Universal GUI that it creates some odd/unwanted behaviour. Especially when it comes to defaults, layouts and contexts.. they appear to get loaded at last. Which means that tasks, tabs and als fields that get disabled via procedures stay open between loading entity and the loading and application of the def/lay/ctx procedures. A similar thing happens after executing a task. During execution the task is greyed out.. but short after it gets enabled again. Due to the sometimes high latency the refresh is not instant. The user gets the option to click the task again. What are the options here to deal with this? Can we somehow group entity loading including procedures that influence it's behaviour?
Hey all,i have 2 filters, one gives me only records where the activity_kind is equal to 10 and the other gives me records where activity_kind is not equal to 10This is how it is configured in my default table:In this case it should only give me records where activity_kind is not equal to 10This is how it is configured in my variant:In this case it should only give me records where activity_kind is equal to 10When i have everything configured like above^ everything works fine..However i want them on hidden, but when i put the show_not_parcel_delivery_kind on on hidden in my default table it doesn’t give me any data in my variant.Does the state of the filter carry over to the variant if it’s on on hidden? Any idea what the issue could be?Thanks!
Hi!I am working on a link task where the user wants to ‘import’ data from one table to anotherFor example: Purchase orders can be generated through a purchase needs table. The purchase order table consists of purchase order lines. The user also wants the possibility to import purchase needs into an existing purchase order. I set up the following process flows:Process Flow 1The user clicks on the link task located in the purchase order line. The purchase_order_id is one of the task parameters. The purchase needs table is opened (as a floating document) with the necessary active filters. Only active purchase needs with the same supplier as the purchase order’s supplier are shown. A hidden column ‘link_purchase_order_id’ in the purchase_need is filled with the purchase_order_id. This is done in a decision process action.Process flow 2The user must be able to select multiple rows in the purchase need table. A decision performs an update and empties the ‘link_purchase_order_id’ of all unse
Hi,i'm trying to create a pie-chart with values to see the amount of days it takes for a certain department to process a request.I want to show this pie-chart in the details tab of the request.When i try to get the chart working with some test values, it only shows this:what can i do to fix this?
Hi Team,We have created the time field in universal to get the time from the user in Universal. But in that field Time-picker is not popping out properly while clicking on that time-picker icon. Is there anything we need to do or the functionality itself in thinkwise is like that? I have attached the screenshot with this query.
I want to hide a delete button that’s available in a variant. When i disable it in the variant permissions, it doesn’t disable in the universal but it is disabled in the windows GUI.
BugPresumably from the latest SF version in which we no longer talk about project versions but model versions, starting branches directly against the SF all results in one and the same application definition.The mouse-over shows the application_id instead of branch_idmodel_id = 'NIVERPLAST',branch_id = 'ADDITIONAL_COSTS',branch_description = N'1687',WorkaroundTo make it workable, I use application icons as a workaround and add the application IDs to the description.Workaround using icons and branch_description Desired solutionPresumably the model_id is now displayed all "Niverplast” desirable would be that the branch name (or another recognizable column) is visible. Another bug?Setting the sorting in the list bar is not replicated to the sorting of applications in the tile menu.Sorting order - List bar menuSorting order - Tile menu
If i enter values for Label or Field width in Subjects>Settings no changes seem to happen (If i enter Field height this do change it for every column for that table). If I enter values for Label or Field width per cell via Subject>Components>Form the width change does happen. Although then, if a field is added later, this does not have the same properties of course because it reverts to the defaul values. Is this a possible bug? Am i missing something?
Hi I'm working on adding the hyperlinks for WhatsApp and Viber to an html field in a page in Universal GUI. The links for both messenger apps open installed application in the computer.but I'm not so successful with Viber. for some reason universal GUI removes the href property of the html <a> elementprobably because it doesnt start with https heres a sample. WhatsApp (Works)Link: <a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=0900000000">WhatsApp</a>Viber (Dont Work)Link: <a href="viber://chat?number=0900000000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Viber</a> Note1: the viber link works if you search for the link viber://chat?number=0900000000 Note2: when I inspected the element in developer mode in the browser it seems it is removing the href property of the <a> tag in html of universal page. I used an HTML(property) domain to render the html link tag Is there are rule on how hyperlinks are displayed in Universal? Is there a way to make this work
Our organization uses order folders to log different kinds of order reports. For example: order confirmations, shipping orders, certification etc.I have created a system flow which receives information through a HTTP connector (from a process flow). Six (DevExpress) reports are generated this way and eventually written into an order folder. This works fine for three reports except for two documents which contain scripting and one report with a watermark. The report is saved into the correct folder, but it’s empty. As if no ID was forwarded to the generate report process action.The document with the watermark was eventually saved successfully when we deleted the watermark, but this is a rather inconvenient ‘solution’. Is there a known issue with generation and writing reports which contain scripting and watermarks? Process flow with the HTTP connector System flow for generating, writing and moving a report.
Hi,I am trying to upload a (potentially large) document using staging within indidium. The document itself makes use of a storage location based on Azure Files. When I use the straight forward HTTP POST API .. /<app>/document:{ "document_type_id": 1, "document_date": "2023-05-18T00:00:00Z", "name": "Test upload document 1", "storage_location": { "FileName": "test_upload_doc-1.pdf", "File": "JVBERi0...” }}this works fine. The file is BASE64 encoded and will be, as far as I know, be posted as one chunk.For large documents however this approach is to limited. I have read the posts about staging and think this will be the way to go for large documents. I have implemented a setup which uses the following steps:Create the stage for a new document: HTTP POST .. /<app>/document/stage_add Patch some columns: HTTP PATCH .. /<app>/staged_document(#<stage_id) { “name” : “test_upload_doc-1.pdf” } Try to upload the document Commit the stage: HTTP P
Hey all, i am having an issue with my tasks filters and search bar not appearing in Universal.In the web gui it works fine: but they do not appear in universal: This is how the screentype looks like: Any idea what could be causing this?Thanks in advance!
We have developed a small external web app. This web app needs to retrieve a file which has been imported and stored on a reachable location on the server using the file name and path. The file name and path are stored in the database. Using this file name and path the web app can read the file from the location it's stored. This needs to be done with an XHR GET request.Is there a way that this integrated web app can do a GET request to the Indicium API to retrieve the file path it needs? It just needs to get a piece of text from the database that contains the path to the file, then it can read the file and view the data using said file.
Hi, In my Grid view, I have a prefilter with statuses. These prefilters should not be visible in the Form. These components (search/prefilter) are not set in the screentype. In the win gui; GridForm In the universal gui; Grid viewForm View Note; in win gui I can do a right click and see the prefilters. But that is far less intrusive. Why is this? If a screen type does not contain a Prefilter or Search Component.. why show it? And, how can I hide these on only the form in Universal? Thanks in Advance! Alexander
In a cube I would like to have the average of columns (e.g. year, quarter, month), totalized in the rows (e.g. group, device). How could I achieve this?
Hi. A quick question on the status of the Thinkstore. Are solutions being maintained ? I was trying the translation solution, but it doesn't work. Based on this solution I was hoping on extending the functionality with custom translations, to get them into the end-product as well. Is there any additional documentation on managing code generation. With some more exemplary examples to create our own translation functions, including custom translations.. https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/functionality#managing-code-generation-with-staging-tablesIf I follow the SQL code from the Thinkstore example.. I really don't get the complete picture.
Hi, We use several additional apps that are loaded via the previewer. On desktops it works perfectly fine.. however when we access the U-GUI via iPad/iPhone the iFrame sometimes loads but more-over ends us loading ‘blank’.. Why is that? There are no errors, no notifications.. just the iframe loads the app (and then it works) or it loads blank and it stays empty obviously. attached a .har file.
We want to email a CSV file to a customer every week with a system flow. It actually concerns an export of a view.We are now thinking of system flow in which we send the result of an SSRS report.Or is there any simpler approach?
Hi,I try to delete an iam user, using the indicium api. Creating and fetching a user works fine, but when I try to delete a user I get the following error: 400 Bad Request - Invalid OData URL.Below you can see what I tried.Can somebody tell me what i’m doing wrong?

Hi everyone,We have one SF that we use to deploy (create) to a development environment and an environment for testing and user acceptance. This is set up in Azure environment 1. We are in the process of setting up the production environment. This is Azure environment 2. The production environment will have its own IAM and an application.The IAM database is created and set up in the production environment (Azure#2) by means of the Deployment Center. Also, Indicium and Universal have been set up in an app service on Azure#2. appsettings.json has been provided with the correct (pool) user data and database name. This user has verified access to the database. The next step would be doing a creation from the SF on the development environment (Azure#1) to the production environment (Azure#2).The SF offers an option to configure a custom pool user for a runtime configuration. However, this option is greyed out and read only for us. The pool user for the development environment (Azure#1) has t
I have a system flow A that runs every second. Most of the time nothing happens but sometimes someting does happen. Am i right to conclude that the next scheduled run of system flow A is skipped if the previous run of system flow A has not yet ended?I want to avoid that multiple of the same system flow run at the same time. I've done some tests and the next run seems to be skipped when the previous run has not ended yet, but i cannot find a definitive answer in the documentation.Thank you
Hi, I've copied a user with these tasks in IAM available; Task all hereWhen this new user logs in;No tasks How is this possible? Thanks! Alexander
I would like to discuss this topic based on the following quote from the Thinkwise documentation:" When your end product is started in developer mode, extra options become available in the Developer tab in the ribbon. For main administrators, developer mode is enabled by default. ”As Main administrator of the tenant, the Developer button is visible but the debugger does not work. You can access the debugger but as shown below it remains empty regardless of any actions.Debug remains emptyAs a work-around, I always log in with another shortcut based on another configuration file (.ini) in which I specifically include ExecutionMode = Developer. In my opinion this should not be necessary because I already have the role Main administrator.May I consider this a bug and can it be fixed❓or are there other opinions❔
Hi Guys,In Universal, is it possible for the "next group" checkbox in the grid component to be applicable only to the default state of a subject, excluding its variants?I would like to remove the "next group" checkbox from a variant without having to remove it from the default.
