  1. Some customers need to run Flow Connect on their premises (on-prem) for different reasons.

    1. Data requirements – Strict data security/privacy/legal requirements where the data is not allowed to leave the premises. For these types of customers, it is essential that everything runs on-prem since they don’t want any connection to the outside networks.
      Some examples:
      • Aerospace & defense
      • Defense manufacturing
      • Healthcare
      • Government and public sector

    2. Low-latency requirements - Some customers have low-latency requirements with systems handling a high volume of transactions/executions. Typically, their existing infrastructure/external systems are already on-prem due to the exact reason. For these…

  2. More UI controls/elements for endusers like progress bars, toggle, chip, filters, card layout, charts, map, tabs, timer, sliders,...

  3. 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,…

  4. 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…

    The feature request has been approved and is now scheduled for development. Our product team has determined that it aligns with our product roadmap and will bring value to our platform. We will keep you updated on its progress.

  5. In many cases user would like to use the data in Novacura Clients in other apps. Like to copy text from a work order and past into an e-mail. Or to fetch the work order number and query in another app.

    Today it works in Android client and of course the web client. It doesn't work in the iOS client.

    ==>Make all clients similar with same capabilities.

    Thank you for voting on this feature request. Our product team is currently reviewing it and evaluating its feasibility and potential impact. We will keep you updated on any progress.

  6. Since Flowscript is so powerful now we can put extensive Scripts/loops in the script. If we do that in a userflow we cannot tell the user what's happening, because currently we have no way to add a client message like in other steps. Would be nice if we can get a flowscript function to add messages at different steps of the script execution. Otherwise UX for long running processes will be poor (missing user feedback)

  7. A clear and flexible way to move between user steps in navigation-based apps.
    Navigation items replace the fixed buttons at the bottom of the step and allow navigation to other steps in the app. An exit can carry data to the next user step, for example, passing the data of a selected item in a repeated control.

  8. Implement a reusable tooltip component to provide on-demand context across all UI elements. This addresses the need for detailed explanations behind short labels, buttons and ensures small chart values are easily accessible.

  10. In the web client, when a grid is present in the user step, an option appears to expand the UI to the full browser window.

    Feature request: always show the expand option for the user's step (regardless of whether there is a grid inside).

    Also, make it a designer option to default to expanded or collapsed. Today it seems to remember my choice next time I run the app, but that is probably only for that app and that browser. Be able to control it more generally, both as an admin and as a user.

  11. Enable connect Apps built on Novacura Flow Connect to communicate directly to external systems (e.g., IFS Cloud or other REST-based services) when the external system supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for client authentication.
    This will allow secure, client-only communication, reducing dependency on the Flow Connect Cloud for certain REST API calls and improving performance by eliminating unnecessary round trips through the cloud.

    Business Value
    Performance: Reduce latency by avoiding cloud roundtrip.

    Scalability: Offload traffic from the Flow Connect cloud.

    Security: Leverage OpenID Connect’s standardized authentication and token handling.

    Scope
    Applicable only for Mobile & windows clients (assuming it will not work…

  12. 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…

  13. The feature request aims to bring back the "Multiline" behavior for text input boxes in the NG web client, similar to how it worked in the old web client. This enhancement will allow users to expand text input boxes to accommodate multiple lines of text, providing a more seamless and user-friendly experience when dealing with longer inputs or when composing messages that require a larger writing space. By reintroducing the "Multiline" behavior, users can effortlessly resize text input boxes, leading to improved productivity and enhanced user satisfaction.

  14. The process of “skipping items” that contain errors in My Work is now 3 clicks, with no way around it.

    This used to be one click per “delete.” Ideally there are not a ton of errors, but if there are, it now means 3x the amount of clicking for the user (potentially on a small mobile device).

  15. We want to change how Assertion Steps are displayed to the user who runs the app. It is annoying and impractical that the label of the Assertion Step is shown to the user. Better to only show the phrase, as it worked in Classic. It is confusing and language-mixing for the user to see the label of the Assertion step. (See enclosed files).

    For me, this should be permanently changed or at least make it an option to hide the Designer label of the Assertion Step from the user who runs the app in the client. Our clients use assertion…

  16. Now when you run some app on mobile device and you toggle off screen/switch app/small lack of internet, you will get The Network connection was lost message. It will take you back to previous step without proper indication and some of the machine steps will be already done. Would be good to have:
    -more explanation on help web page about such error messages
    -some kind of batch processing posibilites to handle such activity

  18. 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.
