  2. It would be nice to be able to view data grid columns without first having to be in edit mode in studio. As it stands, when you select a datagrid element while not in edit mode, it only previews the column names in that boxed area, and depending on the length of the names, only shows a few of them. It would be super helpful if we could go a layer deep to view each column, it's data source, and perhaps just the entire edit screen in general without having to officially open it up for editing.

  3. When doing complex operations in Flow, either as a loop of machine steps or as a machine step with an iterator, the user is left in the dark about what is happening. It would be great to be able to present the user with a progress bar that gradually fills while Flow is processing the operations. This could be a special User step that requires no interaction from the user and disappears when the process is done. Inputs would be a counter variable, a total of the number of operations and a user message detailing what is going on.

  4. We kindly request an enhancement to the DataGrid functionality in Studio, allowing users to pre-select one or more default rows when binding the DataGrid to a table and enabling selections, including single selection mode. Currently, users are unable to set default selections, which can result in additional manual steps for users to accomplish this. This proposed feature aims to improve the usability and efficiency of DataGrids by providing the ability to automatically mark specific rows as "selected" upon binding.

  6. The current Now() function in Flow retrieves the time based on the device's local time. This can lead to inconsistencies for users or workflows operating across different time zones. To improve this, there's a need for advanced time manipulation functions and settings.

    Proposed solution is to introduce new functions like Now().utc, allowing users to retrieve time based on specific time zones like UTC. Additionally, integrating a timezone setting for each user in Studio, similar to the existing Language and Locale settings, can ensure consistency and accuracy in workflows, catering to diverse customer needs. This enhancement will grant users greater flexibility…

  7. we would like to have enable a feature that allows downsizing to specified size (in MBs). Solution calculates the required resizing factor and use a quality down sampling algorithm (e.g. bicubic) that maintain adequate image quality and get it down to specified file size or just below. from the flow itself.

  8. Currently, the menu sorting order in our system is limited to priorities 1-10, which restricts our ability to effectively organize a large number of menus. We kindly request an enhancement to the sorting functionality that allows for a broader range of priorities, specifically from 1 to 100 or, ideally, any integer. This would provide us with much-needed flexibility and control in managing our extensive menu collection, leading to a more seamless user experience and improved efficiency.

  9. When you create a sequence arrow then right click, there is no need to have the word "CREATE" before each element.

    Additionally, the list could be alphabetized to easier find the type of element you want to add.

  10. Frequently, I design a workflow and realize the need to switch it from a User Flow to a Fragment, either due to oversight during creation or the newfound requirement for reusability. The current process of converting the workflow in the studio is rather cumbersome. Although I've managed to export the Flow, manually tweak the XML, and then re-import it to achieve a Fragment, it strikes me that this procedure could be streamlined. Perhaps a more user-friendly approach would involve incorporating a 'Convert To' option, accessible through a simple right-click within the server explorer, offering a range of flow type transformations

  11. Currently, when looping through a dataset/table, users need to create a copy of it, check if it is empty, fetch one row at a time, process it, and then exclude that row before continuing the loop. This process involves unnecessary steps and can be time-consuming. Therefore, I propose the implementation of an easy-to-use "For Each" loop element. This element should allow users to set the dataset and define the assignment of each row, simplifying the iteration process. It should automatically handle row traversal without requiring additional checks or dataset manipulation. This feature would enhance productivity by streamlining dataset processing and…

  12. A feature enhancement that allows users to update the values of flow variables from outside of a script. Currently, when working with variables X and Y, executing a script step only allows for returning a value to overwrite one of them, or utilizing a complex workaround with a record to update both variables. We propose the addition of a simple syntax, such as ":flow.X = "something";" within the script, where the ":flow" prefix defines the scope of the variable being modified. This improvement will streamline the process of updating variables, eliminating the need for additional steps and making script operations…

  13. We request an enhancement to enable script steps to directly interact with included workflows and machine steps. Currently, this limitation leads to complex workarounds and inefficiencies, particularly when processing datasets in loops. With the proposed improvement, users can easily call included workflows and machine steps from within script steps, streamlining data processing and reducing the need for intermediary datasets. This enhancement will significantly improve workflow efficiency and simplify task execution.

  14. Dear Novacura R&D,

    As much as powerful the grid element in the User Step is, it would be great to enhance it with dynamic features.
    Like the 'Condition to hide' that affects the elements in the User Step, it would be great to have something similar for the content of the grid. And thus, if a particular condition is met, say a column is empty, then it could be hidden.
    We quite often find ourselves in situation where we have multiple scenarios and data that differ from each other. Instead of creating multiple grid variants in one User Step, it…

  15. We kindly request the implementation of a new feature within Flow Studio, allowing the integration of "Workflow Fragment" as a Seed Item while utilizing a data arrow to the start step. Currently, any attempt to include a Workflow Fragment as a Seed Item leads to undesired outcomes. Specifically, when users press the "Run" button, the flow crashes, or upon selecting the "Publish" button, an error message surfaces: "Missing mapping for NovaCura.Flow.Designer.CanvasItems (..). Possible usage of unconverted elements from previous Flow versions."

  16. Currently, when right-clicking a user step in the application, users have the helpful option "Select Everything East of Item" available in the context menu. However, we propose the inclusion of additional options, specifically "Select Everything North of Item" and "Select Everything South of Item," to further enhance the usability and flexibility of the user interface.

  17. This is related to ideas https://ideas.novacura.com/forums/953926-novacura-flow-classic/suggestions/47158924-change-sql-validations-in-studio and https://ideas.novacura.com/forums/953926-novacura-flow-classic/suggestions/47473418-update-the-version-of-the-sqlparser. Sometimes Flow Studio will flag steps with a yellow "non-critical" error because Flow can't parse the code correctly. Most often I see this in SQL Server machine steps, but it can happen in other kinds of connectors too. While it would of course be lovely if the parser could be better, I think it will be hard to make it 100% correct. That's why I would like a RMB option to Ignore a yellow error on a machine step, sort of like when I want a word processor to stop flagging…

  18. When stepping through a workflow with breakpoints, the step that is about to be activated is highlighted. This could be made clearer by instead highlighting the arrow leading to the next step, indicating exactly what is about to happen. This would also show which path has lead to a step with multiple inputs.

  19. A lot of times i want to copy + past multiple steps from an existing flow. This is currently only possible for one element OR in Edit mode. If someone else has a non committed working version we cannot even set it to edit mode to copy/paste parts of the flow.

    Same goes for machine/script steps which are larger. Since you are not allowed to scroll you cannot copy the content without setting the flow to edit mode.

    Would be nice to give the possibility to select like in edit mode for both these cases so we can copy whatever…
