1. 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.

2. 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.

4. Image Annotation to Provide IsEdited True/False

   Currently, the image annotation has no way of determining if an image is edited or not. This means, that each time an image is either edited or not, I need to re-save it to the database. This is a performance issue since at times, I can present 20 images in a File Gallery and have no way of determining which ones I should save and which ones I should not save to the database.

5. 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)

   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.

6. Allow custom buttons in a portlet to listen directly to a filter

   In Portal 2, there is currently no capability for custom buttons to directly listen to the same filters that a portlet uses. This limitation reduces flexibility and can lead to less intuitive user interactions, as demonstrated by the need for users to manually select an item in a scheduler portlet to trigger related custom button actions.

7. Starting behaviour for grouped list selection

   Currently, when we initiate a list selection we can start it closed or fully extended.
   Ideally, we should be able to just show the categories and extend them. Currently they are always fully extended.

   If we have a large list of over 20 items, the grouping could help with navigating easier. Like this, we need to close them first to see them as an overview. There are pictures attached to illustrate this.

8. Have a way to disable manual/keyboard entry for specific input boxes

   We have Novacura deployed on numerous handheld scanner devices running the Android client. Being able to lock out manual keyboard entry to certain input fields and require the input to come from the scanner would significantly improve the workflow for our users, and reduce the possibility of errors from manual entry as opposed to scanning the barcode directly.

10. 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.

15. AI Flow builder

    Problem: Creating workflows manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for complex business processes. Businesses need a faster, more accurate way to generate workflows that align with their domain and data models.
    Why It Matters: Manual workflow creation delays application development and increases the risk of misalignment with business objectives, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs.
    Proposed Feature/Idea
    Solution: Use AI to automatically generate workflows from user inputs, such as:
    A prompt described in plain language (e.g., "Create a workflow to move inventory parts").
    Existing business process or data model diagrams (e.g., BPMN, UML).
    What It Does: AI analyzes the input to:
    Understand the business logic.
    Create workflows (like the one in the attached image) that can be directly used as a domain and data model in the low-code platform.
    Example: Input a business prompt or upload a diagram, and the system generates a workflow like the "Move Inventory" process diagram in the attachment.
    Business Impact
    Time Savings: Reduces workflow creation time by up to 80%.
    Error Reduction: Ensures workflows are consistent and accurate based on predefined business rules and domain models.
    Scalability: Enables faster scaling of applications by automating repetitive workflow design tasks.
    Key Features/Capabilities
    Input Options:
    Plain-language text prompts.
    Uploaded business process or data model diagrams (e.g., JSON, XML).
    AI-Powered Generation:
    Natural language processing to interpret text.
    Diagram parsing to identify workflows and relationships.
    Workflow Outputs:
    Fully editable workflows in the low-code platform.
    Integration-ready domain and data models.
    User Feedback Integration:
    Allow users to edit and refine workflows with suggestions provided by AI.

17. Add proper Report Print Layout configuration to Flow

    There is a need for proper Report Print Layout configuration. Must allow dynamic sizing of all cells in a table/layout, logo, formatting, conditions etc. Today's HTML is far to rigid. For some use cases the layout is so poor that we can't even use it internally, not to mention externally.

    Main need is for PDF, e.g. Word would have been nice, but less important

    Ideally there should be an engine on the backside, allowing to be automatically sent on E-mail or printed to predefined print.

    For IFS users, similar IFS Report Designer and Print Agent. The built in IFS tools are strong, but limited availability of data to be fetched into the report restricts the tool far too much.

18. Customized Button Placement in Clients

    The suggested improvements to the current system involve enhancing the user experience and customization options in the graphical user interface (GUI). The proposal includes two main features:

    1. Customizable Button Placement: The users express a strong interest in having the freedom to choose where the buttons (outputs) from user steps appear in the GUI. Currently, the system only allows the selection of priority, but the buttons always appear in the bottom right corner of the user step. The proposal seeks to provide flexibility, allowing users to position the buttons according to their preference, resulting in a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.

    2. Button Color Customization: Another requested feature is the ability to assign different colors to the buttons. For example, the proposal suggests using green for "go," orange for "pause," and red for "stop." By introducing this capability, the GUI can offer visual cues that align with the specific action associated with each button. This color customization enhances usability and clarity, making it easier for users to identify the intended functionality of the buttons at a glance.

19. Customizable Spacing and Border Controls for KPI Cards in Portal 2

    Requesting the addition of customizable spacing options between KPI cards in Portal 2. Currently, a gray KPI card is being utilized as a workaround for creating space between blue and green KPI cards. However, there is an inability to disable the border of this empty card. We propose the implementation of features that allow users to control spacing between KPI cards and provide the option to toggle borders on or off for improved layout flexibility.
