  1. I'm missing the functionality "Update all to use this version" that exists in Flow classic. Updating assets are currently very time consuming and have an increased risk of human error since we need to manage all dependencies manually (and in the right order).

  2. Currently, the user step includes:

    Image Viewer

    Image Selection

    File Gallery

    However, we are missing a PDF Viewer, which would be a very powerful addition.

    Purpose and Benefits:

    In-app Document Viewing:
    Allow users to open and view PDF documents directly within the workflow, without needing to open an external application.

    Document Editing:
    Enable users to make basic changes to PDF documents (e.g., annotations, comments, or form filling) and save the updates.

    Multi-page Support:
    The viewer should support navigating through multiple pages easily.

    Digital Signature:
    Allow users to sign PDF documents directly within the viewer.

    Full-Screen Mode:
    Users should be able…

  3. If needed I would like to be able to run a component several times without the use of a "Flow loop" and instead use an iterator similair to Machine Step - SQL - iterator, using this method we can make the application clean and more presentable.

  4. 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…

  5. Having a way to stop users or groups of users from being in the web client could be nice. The problem we are having is when users are completing registration they are getting driven to apps, but right now we are onboarding a lot of "portal only" users. So they get confused. We are sending a welcome email to link them to the board, but sometimes people don't read the email. When everything is said and done we have people who are web client only, portal only, and some who need both.

  6. When compressing images it would be nice to be able to say what size you want the image to be uploaded in, not what percentage it should be compressed to. For example, if you take a picture with an iPhone the image will be 18MB while if you take the same picture with an iPad it will be 4MB, then it would be nice to be able to say that we want images that are 5MB and the Flow client will then compress the images that are larger than that to the desired size, while the images that are smaller…

  7. The Image Selection user step option has the ability to show base64 encoded images. Can you apply the same logic for the Image Viewer? This request is for the NG Webclient and Connect web.

  9. Some customers don't want the option to use barcode scanning (camera) on some input fields and want it on others (to prevent data errors)
    We should have an option to enable / disable this.

  10. Since there is no function in the portal today to determine whether user steps are present in components, all components start silently. And at runtime, if the component has a user step, an error saying: "Invalid usage of user step within component" is displayed.

    Such a function would allow components with and without user steps, increasing the usability

  14. 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…

  17. Feature Request: Component Mapping Option During Import and Shared App Installation

    We need a way to map components when importing a flow or application into the hub. When a flow is imported, the system should provide an option that allows the user to map the imported component to an existing component in the hub.

    During the import process, the user should be able to choose whether to:

    Map the component to an existing component, or

    Import the component as a new component, even if a component with the same name already exists.

    This option should always be presented to the…

  18. Force Users to Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for External Email Providers

    Requested By:
    Customer Direktoratet for Samfunnssikkerhet og Beredskap

    Description:
    As requested by Customer DSB, the system should enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users who authenticate using external email providers such as Microsoft, Gmail, or other supported identity providers.

    This requirement is intended to enhance security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access caused by compromised passwords.

    Objective:
    Ensure that all users authenticate using two or more verification factors, improving account protection and aligning with modern security standards.

    Proposed Behavior:

    When a user logs in using an external provider (e.g., Microsoft,…

  19. When using empty pages as navigation parents in the portal, users report confusion when clicking them, since they only see a blank page.

  20. In Classic, there is the ability to automatically focus input on the first element if it is an input field. This needs to be ported to the Connect applications as well. Use case: in a scan heavy environment (Cycle Counting, Picking, Shop Orders, etc) the extra time it takes to touch the screen every single time adds up and leads to end user frustration and carpel tunnel.
