New and changed

Detail navigator and task execution based on selected pivot table cell

new

When selecting a cell in a pivot table, the Universal GUI now determines the underlying subject, filters the dataset according to the selected cell values, and selects the first row. This results in the detail forms displaying the first active record, so table tasks on the subject receive the correct row to populate the parameters.

When a cell's axis results in more than one row, the first row of that result will be selected according to the subject's sort options. You can determine the sort options in menu Subjects > Default/Variants > tab Data > tab Sort. For more information, see Sort columns.

If the subject has no visible list style, such as a card list or grid, we recommend that you configure the following settings in menu User Interface > Subjects > tab Settings for optimal performance:

• Set Max. no. of records to 1
• Set Page size to 0

Change in bar behavior for collapsible sections

change

We have updated the display behavior of the bar for collapsible sections based on your current settings.

The bar is shown when:

• The checkbox Field on next tab page is selected, the field Tab page label is empty, and you have provided a Tab page icon.
• The checkbox Field on next tab page is selected, the field Tab page label is not empty
• The checkbox Field on next tab page is selected, and the Tab page label contains a white space.

These settings are available in menu User interface > Subjects > tab Default/Variants > tab Components > tab Form. For more information on these settings, see Fields in next tab or section.

List bar menu search now includes groups

change

The search functionality in the list bar menu has been extended to include groups. When a search term matches a menu group, the list displays all matching groups along with their items.

For example, if you search for "Finance", the list will show the "Finance" group and its items.

'Today' button in the Scheduler

new

In Universal GUI version 2025.1.13, we changed the behavior of the Scheduler. When Sliding pagination was enabled, the view would incorrectly start one month earlier if the top timescale was not set to Year. This has been fixed.

This change also had the unwanted consequence that a manually changed date range would be lost when switching between views. To solve this, we have partially reverted this behavior so that the current date range will be retained. To make it easier to return to the current date, we have added a Today button that changes the date range to the current date.

Image upload domain control in offline menu task

change

The offline menu tasks have been updated to support the Image upload domain control (menu Data > Domains > tab Form > group User interface > field Control).

In addition, when a user selects Continue in the Go Offline banner, the confirmation question has been removed.

Restyled filter pop-up

change

The filter pop-up has been restyled. The field width is more compact, and the pop-up is optimized to show well on smaller screens like mobile devices.

The old filter pop-up looked like this:

The new filter pop-up looks like this:

On a mobile device, it looks like this:

Process flow filters converted to user filters

change

When a process flow filter is used to change a lookup column, and the result is one matching display value, the Universal GUI will now convert this filter into a user filter, filtering on the display value instead of the key data. The user sees the display value in the filter form.

For users, nothing changes; only the request to Indicium may change a little.
 

Minor fixes and tasks

• We fixed an issue where the maximum number of characters defined in the domain was not applied in grid editors, even though it was correctly applied in form editors.
• When an Indicium version lower than 2025.1.12 was used in combination with a newer version of the Universal GUI, lookup IDs were sometimes displayed instead of the translation. This has been fixed.
• In editable grids and forms, a modified lookup editor briefly showed different values before the actual value appeared after leaving the field or record. This has been fixed.
• When a lookup display column is a numeric column, the Universal GUI would sometimes crash upon leaving the field. This has been fixed.
• When a pivot table was used in a detail tab, the double-click drilldown pop-up did not filter the parent context. This has been fixed.
• When using Microsoft Edge, embedded reports would open on the same page as the Universal GUI, overwriting the application. This has been fixed. Reports now open on a new tab.

What we will be working on next sprint

The next sprint we will be working on:

• 2025.2 platform release improvements.
• Extended filtering possibilities, such as filtering on detail and reference relations, and advanced filtering with 'and/or' groups.
• Highlight action buttons ('call to action').
• Separate menu color theme configuration.
