   We are happy to inform you that development work has begun on your requested feature. Our product team has assigned resources and is actively working on implementing it. We will keep you updated on its progress.

2. 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.

3. Change Font, Colors, and Alignment within User Elements

   Within a User Element in a User Step, I would like to be able to change the font, front size, font color, alignment, bold, italics, and more so that I can make more visually appealing workflows.

4. Get list of apps/users/user groups from hub

   It would be great to have a variable or a connector/API I could call and get a list of apps/users/user groups from hub/environments.
   (or few extra features such as sending invitation to a user via flow).

   Like in flow classic, see attached picture.

   If updating users are not available due to security reasons, but at least fetching a list of users would be great.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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

8. Navigator - lacking placement possibilities

   The current Navigator in Connect Designer is lacking in functionality compared to the Classic Studio in regards to placement possibilities.
   I always have the Navigator activated and when developing I prioritize canvas area left<->right and therefore I want the Navigator at the top, unfortunately this is not possible in the Connect designer (see picture from Classic Studio).

9. Change back symbols for arrays to []

   In current version of FlosScript {} symbol is used for declaring arrays(Pic A), inside IF and FOR loops(Pic B) and to showcase when Flowscript will be used(Pic C).

   I think, using same symbol for everything makes it's purpose unclear and can cause unnecessary confusion. Was change from [] to {} for array declaration cause by some real need?

10. Return to parameter view from flow6 in Components

    New version of parameters for Components in counteractive and in opposition to Lowcode philosophy behind Novacura products. Frankly it looks unfinished, which I hope it is. Moreover in old version you were able to open used Component, which would be even more important now, when they are all dumped in one place and not divided into folders or even show which flows they are assigned to.

11. More effortless usage of types with typed output everywhere

    Typed variables in Flow is a good thing, but most often it creates a lot of extra work to make it work.
    As many of the ideas here suggests, while FlowScript provides a lot of possibilities, it has in its current form made Connect come a bit too far from being Low-Code.

    To simplify the handling of types it would be of great help to be able to easily make sure that the output variables always are of the wanted and expected type.

    For example:
    - In a IFS DB Machine Step be able to easily ("low-codish") define types for the output data, both for a query and for a script.
    - In a data grid, be able to have numeric and date columns that is easy to format to the desired format and that always output the same type as the inputted type.

12. FlowScript Code Formatter

    Currently, Flow Script does not offer any assistance in code formatting, which could lead to less readable and harder to manage scripts.

    We suggest the introduction of a "Code Formatter" button in Flow Script. This button would apply some basic formatting rules, such as indentation, to make scripts more readable and easier to maintain. Even though users may request further customization options, having basic formatting support will be a significant improvement over the current situation.

13. Enhanced Flow Variable Update Capability Within Scripts

    A feature enhancement that allows users to update the values of flow variables from outside of a script. Currently, when working with variables X and Y, executing a script step only allows for returning a value to overwrite one of them, or utilizing a complex workaround with a record to update both variables. We propose the addition of a simple syntax, such as ":flow.X = "something";" within the script, where the ":flow" prefix defines the scope of the variable being modified. This improvement will streamline the process of updating variables, eliminating the need for additional steps and making script operations more efficient and concise.

14. Revert to an old version of an app or component

    I want to be able to automatically revert an old version into to the current working version, similar to Flow 6.
    Currently you have to open both the working version and the old version in Designer and manually copy between them.

20. When importing an Flow 6 archive (wap files), get the question if you want to auto-commit components without errors

    When I'm importing a Flow 6 file with a lot of fragments, I need to open all new components and commit a version before I can use them in my app. This is very time consuming.
