1. Allow Scheduler Portlet to listen to "onRefresh" of other portlets, particularly the record viewer

   In some instances the drag-and-drop functionality of the Scheduler is not ideal, but you still want to display the data in a Scheduler and edit it in a separate portlet like the Record Viewer. This works, however the changes are not reflected in the Scheduler portlet until it is refreshed, and you cannot set a Scheduler portlet to listen to OnRefresh from a Record Viewer Portlet.

2. Update Web Service connector with new WSDL file once connector has already been setup on Cloud

   Currently a WSDL contract is necessary when creating the connector. However, once the connector is set up, it doesn't need ongoing access to the contract. On an on-premises server setup, the contract could simply be placed in the file system and accessed from there. However, on a cloud setup, direct file system hosting isn't possible.

   One suggestion is using a file system connector, which would allow users to upload the file onto the cloud server and then point to it. However, this approach is somewhat unconventional and a bit of a “rouge style”. An additional layer of complexity exists if there are linked XSD files in the WSDL. If the WSDL is to be hosted on disk, it needs to be self-contained, meaning all necessary components, like XSD files, should be integrated directly within the WSDL or be locally referenceable without external dependencies. Ultimately, the best option is that the contract need to be hosted as a proper web service or the WSDL must be modified to ensure it is self-contained if hosted from a disk.

3. Option for Daylight Saving Adjustments in Addition to Static UTC for Scheduled Workflows

   As a user, I would like the option for scheduled workflows to adjust for daylight saving changes, as the system currently only supports a static UTC setting. Adding this flexibility would accommodate different timing needs, allowing for both local time adjustments and consistent UTC scheduling.

4. Improve Windows Tablet Compatibility for Web Forms web client – Bluetooth Integration, Photo Attachment, and UI Navigation

   Recent user feedback from field training highlighted critical challenges when using the Novacura Web Forms web client on Windows tablets due to the absence of a dedicated Windows application. These challenges include a lack of Bluetooth integration, a non-streamlined photo attachment process, and navigation difficulties within the UI. Current issues prevent full functionality for mobile users on Windows tablets, prompting us to recommend using only Android or Apple tablets until a solution is in place.
   Details:
   1. Bluetooth Integration:
   o Issue: The current Windows Web Forms web client does not support Bluetooth integration, a critical feature for seamless field operations on mobile devices.
   o Impact: Bluetooth functionality is central to several workflows, and without it, a significant portion of the app's functionality is unavailable, limiting the usability of Windows tablets.
   2. Photo Attachment Process:
   o Issue: Users must capture photos externally, save them, locate them in the file system, and manually attach them in the platform.
   o Impact: This multistep process hinders efficiency, especially in field conditions where speed and ease of use are essential.
   3. UI Navigation with Touch:
   o Issue: Navigating the Web Forms web client on Windows tablets without a mouse is challenging, particularly for scrolling within grids and selecting elements in confined spaces.
   o Impact: This creates a double-scroll issue (page scroll vs. grid scroll) that hampers usability with touch controls, especially when using gloves, a common requirement for field users.
   Suggested Solutions:
   • Bluetooth Integration: Develop or enable Bluetooth functionality within the Web Forms web client.
   • Photo Attachment: Streamline photo attachment, perhaps by enabling direct access to the camera for image capture within the app.
   • UI Optimization for Touch: Optimize the UI for touch interaction to reduce double-scroll issues, improve selection accuracy, and enhance usability without a mouse.

5. Manual re-compile all enabled projections in OData connector

   In the context we hae customers like Elvia and soon DSB where flow is having a usage of 300+ projections. With frequent updates in IFS ( ever green with new releases every 6 month and service updates in addition). The projections needs to be recompiled one by one. This is timeconsuming and have a risk of not handling it correctly.

   I would be great and useful to add an option/button/way to easily re-download the metadata of all enabled projections and re-compile them in OData connector.

   Especially, after an update of IFS, it would be great to do it manually.

   Even if just the admin page gets this function(like: https://odata-ifscloud.novacuradev.net/) and not from machine steps in flow studio.

6. Push Notifications

   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 and not just the mobile clients.

7. New FlowScript function for BI apps and other data driven apps

   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, and then display, sales per quarter.

   For this we need two operations (possibly in one FlowScript function):
   1. Combine
   2. Populate

   Combine: Create one table with all combined dimensions (like an outer join without a on/where clause)

   Populate: Map one (or more) columns from the fact table and put the aggregated result in the corresponding cell in the combined dimension table. Have a default expression for the cells without any value. This table would the be the output from the function.

   The output could then be used to display & update data in a effective and comprehensive way.
   Of course this can be done using existing FlowScript functions, but the suggested function would save a lot of time and have the potential to create a lot more flexible solutions.

9. GitHub Integration for Flow Studio

   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.

10. Portal Scheduler: allow buffering of changes / What If Mode

    In the current Portal 2, drag&drop option, resizing or moving of tasks get synchronized and data set is loaded again.

    It would be great, if we have options here. Eg. the changes are not synchronized and only shown right away.
    Datasets can be big and load for 1 - 5 seconds, if a lot of resizing happens, this is noticeable to the enduser. I could see more than one solution:
    - add option to synchronize changes instantly (todays functionality)
    - add option to trigger all changes
    - synchronize the changes in the background (similar to offline functionality). This would only visually show the changes in the front end and not reload the data set, but working on the changes in the background.

11. Add "Sortable" Option to Table Portlet in Portal 2

    Portal 2 currently lacks the option to disable the sortable functionality in table portlets, a feature that was available in Portal 1. This feature is crucial, especially for touch device users, as the default sortable setting can lead to accidental data reorganization or confusion when interacting with the interface.

    Proposed solution is to reintroduce the "Sortable" option in the table portlet settings within Portal 2. This feature should allow administrators to toggle sorting capabilities on and off according to the specific needs of their interface design or user experience requirements.

12. Support for Continuous Two-Way Bluetooth Low Energy (BL-LE) Communication with Data Aggregation

    We are working with an external Bluetooth device that transmits image data in chunks, which need to be reassembled upon receiving an end-of-data marker. Our current integration with Python successfully handles this process, but the Novacura platform seems to capture only a single notification. We require functionality to write to a characteristic ID, receive continuous notifications, and aggregate multiple binary data packets into a single file (e.g., JPEG) until an 'OK' marker is received. This feature would significantly enhance value for our customers by enabling seamless two-way BL-LE communication in Nova, with the ability to trigger this process multiple times.

14. Add JSON sorter functionality to FlowScript (Playground)

    Now and again I need to define my data type in FlowScript(by get the definition from IFS - API Explorer and using the Inferred result type functionality in the playground).
    Usually I dont need the whole datatype only a few specific KeyPairs but these can sometimes be hard to find as the datatype can be large and not in any kind of order.
    So a built in JSON sorter that will take a JSON as input and order the KeyPairs by KeyName or KeyValue (selectable by user) and return with a ordered JSON would be a nice to have feature.
    (Of course you can do this by creating a Flowscript by yourself but would be a nice to have feature built in to Flowscript)
    See picture for an example

18. Create Component from part of an App

    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.
