1. Dynamic List of Values in Clients

   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.

2. HTML to PDF Connector

   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 have a new “report designer step” that is a low-code/WYSIWYG editor. With this approach, the flow developers do not design the report with HTML rather use the editor to design. So even someone who does not know HTML can design a report.

   Advantage – Flexible, feature rich design capabilities with no HTML knowledge needed.

   Disadvantage – Migrating existing customer flows with HTML to PDF connector in Flow Classic to this new format might be challenging.

   b. Generate PDF report as a client feature – Once we have figured out a way to design the report, the PDF generation can happen in the client-side. This would enable offline PDF generation since we do not need to communicate with the Flow Connect backend for PDF generation.

   Advantage – Offline PDF Generation. No connector setup is needed to design & generate reports.

   Disadvantage – If the PDF’s are too big (in size) it will affect the performance of the client. especially in mobile/handheld devices with limited memory capacity. Might have an effect on battery life as well.

   Option 1.a & 1.b are mutually exclusive. We can stop with option 1.a where a new design step that keeps the PDF generation server-side. Or we can have the existing report design machine step but have option 1.b to generate the PDF on the client side.

   Option 2

   Keep HTML to PDF connector as it is – We can also have the exact same functionality of the HTML to PDF connector in connect. So, a connector configuration is needed design & generate PDF reports as PDF generation is happening server-side. With this approach we can borrow lot of stuff from Flow classic (e.g. the design of the machine step) and reuse the existing connector infrastructure.

   Advantage – Migration from Flow Classic to Connect will be easier. Also, since its server-side pdf generation, the connector should be able to handle relatively bigger PDF files.

   Disadvantage – We will continue to have the same issues as it was in Flow Classic. (e.g. Rigid/lack of design capabilities, formatting & logos, no offline printing, etc..)

   Option 3

   Use a third-party service like ConvertAPI. Convert API also provides dedicated servers if needed.

   Advantage – Already available and easy to setup with the existing REST Connector.
   Access to other documents formats like DOCX,XLS,XLSX, TXT,JPEG.
   Relatively easy migration from Flow Classic.

   Disadvantage – Since its REST service hosted by a third-party 3rd party privacy terms apply.
   Lack of on-Prem hosting options (e.g. Convert API does not provide any onprem hosting solution)

4. Translation panel and standard buttons

   Support for multiple languages in Flow can be a involved process and with many large workflows in a solution it can be challenging to provide a consistent translation (and terminology!) in your apps. In the translation industry, a common way to work is to have a side-by-side or spreadsheet view of all text with the original language on one side and the translations on the other. I would love it if the Languages tab in Environment could collect all text from one or multiple apps and then put that text in a table with editable fields where you can enter translations. That would both make translating an app easier and faster (since you don't have to click through lots of User steps and Buttons) and make the translations themselves better and more consistent since you could cross-reference all the text in the app.

   In addition, it would be really helpful if you could configure a set of "standard" buttons in your environment where you can set translations but also make sure buttons use the same terms throughout an environment. When all buttons are free text, it's easy to end up with apps where some buttons say "OK", others say "Next", "Continue" etc. although they do the same thing in concept (move forward in the app). From an UX perspective, apps with more consistent buttons look more professional. We did something similar in some RISE apps where we call a fragment containing a table of standard button texts which works fine, but it would be even better if you could select a Standard button from a dropdown (with one selection obviously being free text).

7. Global Functions for Cross-Script Usability in Flow Environment

   We request the implementation of a feature that enables users to create global functions within the Flow environment. These global functions should be accessible and usable from any script within the environment, irrespective of their location. By having the ability to define reusable functions at a global level, users can avoid redundancy and promote code modularity across their workflows. This enhancement would significantly improve the efficiency and maintainability of scripts within the Flow environment.

8. Allow Developer to Open a Fragment Without being in Edit Mode

   We would like to open up a fragment from the editor instead of either needing to enter edit mode or search in the server content window. There are times when multiple fragments of the same name exist in the server, and it becomes important to know which version is actually used. Furthermore, editing fragments, and not committing or reversing changes causes lock out of apps - all just to open an fragment to inspect.

13. Enhanced Search Result Details in Web NG Client

    In the current Web NG client, when users perform searches, the results do not indicate the menu under which each workflow is located. This lack of contextual information can lead to confusion, especially when multiple workflows have identical or similar names but reside in different menus.

    Proposed solution is to improve the search functionality within the Web NG client to include additional details in the results, specifically the menu location of each workflow. This information should be displayed clearly beneath the workflow name in the search results. Providing this contextual detail will help users quickly identify the correct workflow, reducing the likelihood of errors and improving navigation efficiency within the client. This enhancement will significantly enhance user experience by making search results more informative and actionable.

15. Map Portlet in Connect

    The Map Portlet is already a valuable tool for customers using Portal 2, allowing them to visualize spatial data and navigate easily within a mapped environment. To ensure a seamless transition to Portal Connect, we are bringing this functionality forward—along with some exciting enhancements.

    The Map Portlet in Novacura Flow Portal Connect will not only retain the core features from Portal 2 but also introduce new capabilities, including:

    Interactive Map: Users can zoom, pan, and navigate smoothly to explore spatial data.
    Real-Time Markers: Display live positions of equipment, personnel, or other points of interest.
    App & Component Integration: Click on markers to trigger apps or interact with components for faster workflows.
    Customizable Layers: Add multiple layers to visualize different types of information on the map.

    These improvements will empower users to better analyze and interact with spatial data, enabling more informed decisions and enhancing operational efficiency.

16. Seamless OData Projection for Workflow Subscriptions Across Environments

    We would like if a warning message can be implemented when you add a new projection in DEV/TEST environment and then subscribe to PROD, that has not the new/added projection. Which is to get a warning with info about it, or that the projection is added automatically when it happens. Or such a solution so that End user will not get affected.

19. Map - Improve display of multiple icons/pins on the same exact position

    In the current versions of Portal it is quite difficult/impossible to display multiple pins on the exact same location. We have another Map-solution which handles this quite well, and I would propose something similar be added to the map for Flow Connect. See attached screenshots.

    We have used these libraries to achieve this: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.markercluster
    https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-leaflet-cluster
