Hi,I am currently in a position where I would like to change the order of fields based on a selected input. In the layout cp you can set fields to hidden/mandatory based on a selected value.Is it possible to do the same for the order of the fields?Thanks
In a form I want to provide extra information for some columns. I don't want to have this information always visible in the form, only when the user needs the extra information. According to the feature matrix the tooltip feature is not working (yet) in Universal GUI. When will this feature be avaliable and what is the alternative?
Hi,As the title asks is that possible?Can I have a custom Task button that opens a URL link on a new browser Tab ?Thanks
Too few developers create their own custom validations and solely rely on the default validations offered by the Software Factory. Though this default validation set is already great for higher quality, there is always room for improvement, especially in certain situations.Developers tend not to make custom validations for several reasons:The functionality is unknown Development itself has more priority Validations are not being used at all Developers think creating a validation is difficultTo stimulate the use of custom validations, we created a video in which we show an example. We hope this motivates you to create your own validations. Create a custom Validation in the Thinkwise Software Factory
Hi there, I’ve created a label report in SSRS to print on a Zebra printer. When I run the report from SSRS the label is printed Ok. When I save the report in the SF and I run the report from the End Application (via the SF) the label is printed 10 times smaller then when I run it from SSRS report builder itself. What can I do about this??? See photo. The first label is from the SF. The 2nd one is from the SSRS report builder
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem? The error message appears only for 1 person we currently know of.
I’m trying to setup a connection between my application and the simple notification service (SNS) from AWS. This is proving to be troublesome because of the way AWS manages these subscriptions.To subscribe AWS first sends a subscription token to the endpoint (in indicium) that will receive the SNS notifications. The endpoint in my application then needs to reply with the SNS-token to verify the subscription.To send the subscription token, AWS sends two messages: One without authentication and then one with authentication based on the header that is received in response of the first message.The endpoint in my application needs to respond to the first message without authentication with a 401 code with a header that specifies the type of authentication that is expected*: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=“<application>” .Indicium automatically responds with a 401 code and the header:WWW-Authenticate: Indicium realm=“<application>” Even when using a message protocol-independent w
Hi,we are currently investigating migrating our application authorization setup to IAM a configuration.As we'd like to check from the SF if a user is member of a certain IAM-role, we were wondering if there is a variable in the system which we can use to determine the location of IAM database.If not, we will create a value in a table to lookup this setting.Thanks.
In the latest version of the Universal GUI, We are able to have responsive fields (provided that field width and label width are empty). Responsive fields that resizes its own width depending on the size of the screen(Width).(Is it possible to have an option or do we have an option) in the SF->Subjects->Default->Components ->Form, where the field automatically resizes depending on the height of the screen?or Is this already possible by applying in a different way other than in Subjects?Currently In my knowledge we have "Field height in positions" in Subjects ,to add height on a field that can contain a paragraph of strings, in SF, But this is a fixed size as shown in my GIF example.
How to give users a (one-time) notification?For example:With the current situation in Russia and Ukraine, we want to alert colleague about deliveries in these countries. The user should indicate that they have read this notification so that it will not be displayed again next time. I was triggered by the SF message you get as a developer after performing an upgrade.
I am currently trying to connect OneDrive to SF instead of Azure Database. I wanted to know if anyone had tried this earlier? If yes how can we make this work?
Hi. I have a question. I have various CSV files (updated every month) of 1GB (comma separated) how would I create a flow that would pick up this file to subsequently merge it into a table.. basically only inserts and updates. Anyone experience with this amounts of data? In total it will be over 80 million records.
We recently upgraded the Thinkwise platform to the latest 2022.1 version. I just tried the very first creation process with it but it doesn’t seem to be doing a smart upgrade. As you can see in the screenshot I did choose the smart option:However this seems to produce code as if it was a full upgrade. The many code steps below indicate this as well. Before this list was often a lot shorter when doing smart upgrades: I don’t want to do a full upgrade especially when I repeat the process on the production database.I’ve already regenerated the definition of the previous version but that doesn’t seem to have an effect.What else can I try here?
Hello,In our application I can let a user execute a Function with the Execute As option set to ‘sa’, but can't seem to do the same with a procedure. It gives the following error when executing: Error message when executing Subroutine options Settings in procedureSeeing as I can execute a function as ‘sa’ just fine, user ‘sa’ must be available to me. Can anyone explain why this is happening?For some context, I want my user to be able to use the results of xp_dirtree, but don't want to give him the rights of sysadmin. I need this to be a procedure since I can't use a temporary table in a function and I need to select rows from the output of xp_dirtree. Thanks in advance.
Hi,I need to access a WEB URL from within my app. I know that this is possible with a Custom Screen that will basically embed a web based application within our Thinkwise App.How can I handle the Login to this web based application to be seamless? The Web Application URL is for M-Files DMS system. Any help is appreciated
Hello,We would like to redundantly equip a print server for printing with Reporting Services.Example:- SRVPRT01 (with printer PR00001)- SRVPRT02 (with printer PR00002) The wish is that if one print server fails, that the user can select another printer on the other print server with also Reporting services installed. Now I understand that you can only install 1 Reporting services on a Windows machine which looks at the print queue. If I activate the back-up print server which looks at the same queue, one gets the message "Printer name '\SRVPRT02\PR0001 - ThinkWise Test' not found in installed printers. Valid values are: PR0002 - ThinkWise Test". Is this a warning? The wish is that the Reporting service on the SRVPRT02 can be active as a back-up printserver and must be able to look at the same queue without the error message/warning. What is the best way to implement this?I hope I have explained it clearly. With regards,Randolph Beekman
Since the new version the generation process is done by Indicium. However, often this message is displayed; It usually disappears/appears a few times and the generation does not fail, but still, It does not look good to me. What is the cause of this message?Thanks!
Hi,Is it possible to add dynamic messages to a message with only 1 parameter? What I have:A simple popup warning message with 1 parameter in Translations tab Using a control procedure to send dynamic message content to display What I get If I remove the parent text tag then I only get the first column translation and the rest is ignored which is not what I want.Is there any way of making this work?-Thanks
Recently Thinkwise has been crashing every time I close a report (made in crystal reports). At first this only happened if the report was empty (apart from the date) but since today it started to happen on all the reports for some reason…Any idea why, and preferably also how to fix it?
I would like to start a process_flow when editing/updating in the scheduler. I have tried the proces actions edit_row & grid_edit but both actions showed no sign of executing a process flow: Is it possible to kick-off a process flow in a scheduler and if yes: how?

At Thinkwise, we strive to make development and maintenance of enterprise applications as easy as possible. But in the end, an operational application will have a lot of moving parts. Performance troubleshooting comes down to identifying and resolving a problem in one of those many moving parts.Unfortunately, most of the time it ends up in a witch hunt. Kick in every virtual door to find out what causes the curse. This makes performance troubleshooting very time- and resource intensive. Today, I’ll share a very focused approach to resolve performance issues.The title of this blog might as well be: How to avoid the red herrings! Performance troubleshooting processThere are many ways to approach performance troubleshooting. This blog uses a certain script that can be used and adapted for your own needs. The script assumes a single, agile development team working on an application.The script for performance troubleshootingI’ll go into detail for all the steps, but I’d like to start off wi
Hello,We are creating a project and are using Universal as the main GUI, for this GUI we want to use some important process flows. The process flows wont execute with certain screen type layouts. The question is well explained in the topic of my colleage here: Can someone help us figure this out?Thanks in advanced!
We have a view which contains a lookup column to another table. Whenever you edit a row in this view, the user is able to select a value from the lookup. This looks like follows:Whenever we press this lookup, the user is able to select a cost record:This works like intended. However, we would like to have a prefilter which filters the records on a vessel type which is selected on the parent table (in this case our parent table is so called calculation). See the image below:So the idea is when this prefilter is ON, we want to filter all the cost records in this case on L-Class ice. Is it possible to collect this value and use this in our prefilter? For now we activated the search bar, to make the user manually fill in their vessel type. Thus, filter that way on their desired types for which they want to find cost records. This is not how we want it to work though. Using a prefilter would be way better to achieve this! Does anyone know if this is possible?
We’ve built some prefilters that only function if certain prerequisites are filled, we’ve arranged that these prerequisites are filled in a process flow (triggered by a task) and eventually that prefilter will be toggled using the change prefilters process step.That all works great! however our user can also see the prefilter and click on it on their own, that’s unfortunate since it won’t work when the user does that. is there a way to hide it from user selection without disabling it for the process flow?
