  1. Portal 2's current interface and interaction design do not cater effectively to tablet and mobile devices, presenting challenges for users on these platforms due to the lack of touch-friendly navigation and responsiveness.

    The enhancement focuses on redesigning Portal 2 to be fully optimized for tablet and mobile devices. This entails revising the user interface to ensure that all elements are easily navigable via touch interactions. Key considerations include increasing button sizes, ensuring that dropdown menus and other interactive elements are easily selectable, and implementing responsive design principles so that the layout adjusts dynamically to fit various screen sizes and orientations.…

  2. HTML to PDF connector is a frequently used connector for designing and generating PDF reports in Flow Classic. Additionally, it's also possible to merge existing pdfs with this connector.
    As mentioned in this idea https://ideas.novacura.com/forums/956630-novacura-flow-connect/suggestions/48235034-add-proper-report-print-layout-configuration-to-fl
    The design capabilities of the existing connector are somewhat limited/rigid. Ideally, it should be far easier/flexible to design a report layout in connect. Here are some options we can consider for HTML to PDF connector in Flow Connect.

    Option 1

    Can be divided in to two sub sections.
    a. Report design as its own step in the designer – The idea of this is to…

  3. Currently, the inability to run offline flows in debug mode in Studio complicates development and testing, significantly increasing development time. Resolving this issue soon will streamline the process and improve efficiency

  4. A fully web-based designer. No longer needing to download a thick-client to utilize the Flow Studio. Instead, just open it up in a web browser. Let us know if you have any ideas for the new web designer for Flow Connect!

  5. In Flow Studio, users have access to various property types such as variables, tables, and more, which enhances flexibility and functionality in workflow creation and management. However, in Flow Connect, this capability is limited as users can only create properties as variables without any specific type assignment. This limitation reduces the utility and adaptability of Flow Connect, especially for users transitioning from Flow Studio who expect similar functionality.

    Proposed solution is to expand the property type options in Flow Connect to include a range of types similar to those available in Flow Studio. Introducing diverse property types like tables, lists,…

  6. It would be great to have two separate List Selections in a User Step. These list selections should impact each other such that what I select in List Selection 1 would change what is seen in List Selection 2. This is possible in 2023.3 Portal, but this functionality is needed in the Android, iOS and webclient.

    We are happy to inform you that development work has begun on your requested feature. Our product team has assigned resources and is actively working on implementing it. We will keep you updated on its progress.

  7. Our framework is currently stringent in how to work offline: you download your sources (like in the morning), start working (deliberately offline) and your transactions are synced as soon as you are back online.
    In many circumstances Flow users in service do not know whether they will have internet while working though and they work offline foregoing on many advantages of being online.
    Ideally, we would have a variable available in our start variables (like DeviceId and ClientType) so that in the flows we can take different paths depending on whether the user has internet or not - analog to…

  8. Typically when developing an App or a set of Apps, you don't exactly know how the Apps will end up and it is difficult to have a clear component strategy from the start.

    It would therefore be super helpful to be able to take a part of an app, a sequence of workflow elements, and turn that into a component when needed. Directly from the Designer.

    Preferably the function should be smart enough to suggest required input to the component.

    When created, the selected sequence of workflow elements should be replaced automatically by the newly created component.

  10. Currently, Flow Studio allows developers to view the XML code of their workflows by pressing F7, but there is no direct way to integrate these files with GitHub for version control and code storage, only server side in the Flow Server.

    Proposed solution is to implement a direct integration feature between Flow Studio and GitHub, as an alternative to Flow version management. This feature would enable users to seamlessly push the XML files of their workflows directly to a GitHub repository from within Flow Studio.

  11. In Flow Connect users can access apps quickly through favorites section on the Home screen.

    In the future we would like to give users quick one click access to even more apps by opening up new possibilities to customize the client home screen.
    Users would be able to see a large number of apps and launch them directly from the home screen without navigating a folder structure.

  13. Flow Classic has a way to send push notifications via swimlanes. I have never been a fan of using swimlanes, but you could at least use them to send push notifications.

    In Flow Connect, I'd like to see Novacura implement a "connector" that could perform the same functionality. The connector could: iterate through a list of users, require a Push Notification message, optionally pass in an app GUID that would "forward" the user once they click on push notification to.

    Bonus points if you could use a websocket backend so this could also be implemented in the webclients as well…

  14. Flow 6.15 and the earliest versions offer a possibility to choose a type of property which is either text or table. The latter ensures that more data can be stored under one property.
    Infor M3 Labs uses that funcitonality to store a dynamic data that affects the way how each and every workflow behaves, ie. the prompt proposals, buttons and input fields, automation of user steps are just a few to mention.
    In other words, the end-users, who more often than not are function-oriented, can utlize the table to adjust the values in the table.
    By that, workflows can be…

  15. It would be great to have a variable or a connector/API I could call and get a list of apps/users/user groups from hub/environments.
    (or few extra features such as sending invitation to a user via flow).

    Like in flow classic, see attached picture.

    If updating users are not available due to security reasons, but at least fetching a list of users would be great.

  16. For data driven apps or any BI apps it would be great to have an easy way to create a complex result set of data.
    With this function available we could create amazingly flexible and "Qlik-like" apps in no time.

    Let's consider one scenario.
    We want to display sales per period, per a few selected sales reps and products.
    As dimensions we have Period (Quarter/Month), Salesman, Product.

    For the actual sales we have one big fact table with all all sales, including the dimensions above.

    In an app we want to select a group of salesmen and a few product,…

  17. Today, a customer can download offline data. But if the app crashes, or the user in the field (who is offline) makes changes and then app crashes or they quit out by accident, its confusing to the user as to what has been completed. To the user, it feels like the data has been lost.

    An example, lets say I have an offline flow which downloads 10 records in a table. While offline, I add 2 new records to that table, and go to the next step. If the app crashes when the app reopens, and the flow is rerun,…

  18. There is a need for proper Report Print Layout configuration. Must allow dynamic sizing of all cells in a table/layout, logo, formatting, conditions etc. Today's HTML is far to rigid. For some use cases the layout is so poor that we can't even use it internally, not to mention externally.

    Main need is for PDF, e.g. Word would have been nice, but less important

    Ideally there should be an engine on the backside, allowing to be automatically sent on E-mail or printed to predefined print.

    For IFS users, similar IFS Report Designer and Print Agent. The built in IFS tools…

  19. When selecting a row or row(s) in a portlet table and then starting a workflow, the row selected is no longer showing as (gray) selected, making it hard to find what row was just worked with and pulled into the workflow. This may not always pertain to selected rows because some are actually deleted or removed from a portlet table.

    However, a good addition would be to allow for tables in Portal 2 to deselect/not deselect the row and to allow the table to automatically update/not update the table after completing or closing a workflow. These are possibly some things…

  20. The suggested improvements to the current system involve enhancing the user experience and customization options in the graphical user interface (GUI). The proposal includes two main features:

    1. Customizable Button Placement: The users express a strong interest in having the freedom to choose where the buttons (outputs) from user steps appear in the GUI. Currently, the system only allows the selection of priority, but the buttons always appear in the bottom right corner of the user step. The proposal seeks to provide flexibility, allowing users to position the buttons according to their preference, resulting in a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.
