1. Support for deciding which clients (portal vs. clients) an end-user can log in to

   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.

2. Option to default style of the GRID control (table/card)

   Hi,

   This Requests comes from the customer HomeServe.

   • Ability to default the Grid in Mobile clients to Card view.

   The Grid is very useful in the web client, it's harder to make it look good in the Mobile Clients where more than 2-3 columns often get cramped by the smaller screen size of the devices and the user needs to scroll sideways. And sometimes the Card layout of the Grid is just a better option to display data.

3. Allow Barcode scanner feature on/off for input fields

   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.

4. Allow to run Components with user steps in the portal

   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

8. On-Premise (onprem) Runtime

   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 types of customers, flow connect adds a roundtrip through the cloud to access the data that’s already in their premise. This adds to the latency. It would be beneficial for this customer category to avoid the roundtrip through cloud infrastructure and be able to access their data locally.
      Some examples:
      • High volume manufacturing
      • Retail
      • E-Commerce

   3. Intermittent connectivity – some customers do not have stable, always available internet connectivity due to the nature of the work they do. This does not mean they are not connected to internet at all. Rather internet connectivity is not a guarantee. Even if the internet is available, it might not be stable or with very low bandwidth. These customers want to carry on their work while being offline and once they are connected to internet, they want to sync their data/transactions/executions. We can divide this into two subcategories depending on how long they are disconnected from internet.
      a. Short term disconnection
      Typically, the disconnect from the internet lasts from a few hours to a few days. Examples include service technicians who goes into the field to carry out his work, field operations, mobile service units, etc.

   b. Long term disconnection
   The disconnect is long-term ranging from few months to a year or so. Example includes mining & oil rigs, fishing & maritime, engineering & construction sites, etc.
   Suggested approach
   The section below describes the approach RnD could take on handling some of the use cases/requirements mentioned above. It’s also important to note that the suggested approach will not cover all the requirements and use cases.
   RnD wants to avoid taking a big-bang approach, but instead take a step-by-step approach where we solve one problem at a time and build on it. This would allow RnD to get feedback on the first step before moving on to the next steps.
   Definitions & Disclaimers
   • Design Time – The part of Flow Connect where the application packages/apps/components are designed and deployed to different environments. Design time also includes defining the connector configuration for the apps. So, Flow Hub, Flow Designer, and Portal Designer falls under design time. Please note that in the suggested approach the design time will always be in the cloud.

   Stage 1 – Online on-prem
   This solution involves running some parts of the Flow Connect runtime on the customer's local network. This lets Flow apps run machine steps directly on local systems without needing to connect to the internet/Novacura Cloud. The Internet is still needed to login to the flow connect client and to download the Application packages, apps, and components. However once logged in and loaded, the execution will be routed through the customer's local network. The following diagram illustrates the flow of data with this approach on a high-level.
   Suitable for:
   • customers with low-latency requirements - since the execution occurs locally it is an efficient solution.
   Limitations:
   • As mentioned previously, Design time will be always cloud only.
   • Internet is still needed to authenticate with Novacura Flow Connect and download app packages/apps/components/modules/configurations.
   Out of Scope
   • On-prem design time
   • Web client on-prem (web client delivered from a local on-prem service)
   • Integrations

   Stage 2 – Runtime on-prem
   Stage 2 builds on top of Stage 1 where more services run on the customer's site. The goal of this step is to run flow connect apps without the need to communicate with the Novacura cloud. With this solution,
   • Users will be able to authenticate themselves locally
   • App packages/apps will be delivered from a service running on-prem
   • Execution of machine step will be 100% on-prem (modules and connector configurations delivered from a local service)
   Suitable for:
   • Customer who wants their apps to work without being connected to the internet for a longer period (Long-term intermittent connectivity).
   • Customers who do not want any of their data to be exposed outside.
   Limitations:
   • Design time is still cloud only.
   • Data can be updated on-prem but no syncing back to cloud is allowed.
   • An internet connection is needed occasionally to be able to receive updates from the Novacura cloud.
   Out of Scope
   • On-prem design time
   • Integrations
   Considerations
   Although stage 2 looks very appealing it is an inherently complex solution with many unknowns (the diagram is an oversimplification). It will require a significant amount of work and time to fully implement for production level. There are many unknowns when it comes to different services that will require their own PoC before starting to implementation.

   Offline client
   Offline functionality makes it possible to work with flow apps without an internet connection for a short period of time. For offline functionality to work it is required that the data needed to execute apps are downloaded beforehand. With offline functionality all transactions that are produced by the apps while offline are put in a queue. Then The transactions are executed automatically in the background when the device has internet access.
   Suitable for:
   • Field operations, service technicians, etc. who are disconnected from the internet time to time. (short-term intermittent connectivity).

   Summary
   • Customers who want everything on prem will not be covered with the suggested solutions since design time will always be in the cloud.
   • Customers with Low-latency requirements will be covered with Stage 1 of the proposed solution.
   • Customers with Long-term intermittent connectivity requirements can be covered with Stage 2 of the proposed solution. However, it is a huge undertaking with a lot of unknows parts.
   • Customers with Short-term intermittent connectivity requirements will be covered with offline client functionality.

   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.

12. Component Mapping Option During Import and Shared App

    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 user so they can explicitly decide how the component should be handled. This will give users better control over component reuse and help prevent unintended overwriting or duplication.

    Additionally, the same functionality should be available when using the shared application feature. When a user shares a URL for an app with another organization, the receiving user can use that URL to import the app into their environment. During this import process, the system should also allow the user to map the components used by the shared app to existing components in their environment, or choose to import them as new components.

    This ensures consistent behavior across both direct imports and shared app installations, while giving users flexibility to reuse existing components in their organization.

14. Add Auto-Focus to Connect iOS/Android applications

    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.

16. Print Connector

    Generating Reports and labels in Flow seems to be an ever increasing use case.

    We have some tools (e.g. HtmlToPdf, the consulting developed Document Management or external services like Convert API) to generate reports and labels, but we are missing a way to get them printed if needed.

    For this use case it would be very useful to have a Print Connector, where it would be possible to send a printable file to a printer.

    Please fix. Thank you.

17. kanban - LOV value for the Group by

    But when building interaction flows for drag-and-drop, I need to insert the ID of the resource I group by.

    Giving the option to use a List of Values for the Group by field would enable both displaying a friendly name, but also using the ID for interactions

18. Voice Step

    Using voice as input when executing a task is becoming increasingly more useful and also more requested, with the use of AI.

    To make this experience smooth and seamless we would need a voice step which automatically or on demand (by pressing a button) starts a recording. The recording can be paused or stopped (or auto stopped after a defined number of seconds of relative silence). The recoding is then returned to the workflow and can be processed in the following steps, using AI.

20. Meta data from photos taken from mobile and tablets

    When taking a picture with the phone there is some meta data attached to it (when and where etc.). Accessing that data with flow will make the geo position more accurate.
    Today we use the gps coordinate feature in Flow, but as the technicians can take the pictures to then upload much later, the geo coordinates are wrong (i.e. from the location when uploaded, not where taken).
