    Desktop folders

    Status: Future Consideration
    by JONAS_ANDERSSON on ‎02-13-2013 03:45 AM

    A function where a "desktop folder" can be added inorder to add/view documents from the desktop/finder directly into PLM360. The folder to be added should be connected to a certain workspace, where the user can chose which workspaces should be able to "share" information. 

     

    The folder should be a direct connection through the username and password from the user, where permissions should be added depending on what role the user has.

     

    Similar to dropbox, but with the added finess of PLM360.

     

    Kind regards,

    Jonas

    UI Enhancement - Fixed Tabs

    Status: Future Consideration
    by Contributor DonovanJr on ‎12-03-2012 11:49 AM

    It would be helpful for all workspaces when displaying a detail record that the Item header and tabs and any available buttons (edit, save/cancel) remain fixed at the top of the screen when you have to scroll down to access or view the detail information on the record.

     

    Below is a screenshot for reference

    This is interesting idea. My concern here is that the scrollable view area becomes quite small on some screen resolutions if this was implemented. While this is a good idea, I’m going bench this one for a while. We’re continuously looking at ways to make the UI more usable. One of the areas of UX we’ve been looking at is keeping controls in-front of the user. I’ll make sure this is in the list of ideas for our UX team.

    I have an Excel application I would like to run in PLM 360.  It uses VBA and could draw from data in PLM 360.  It is a relatively large application and has a large screen footprint which means there must be capability to scroll to the right to see important data.

     

    Perhaps this capability already exists and I'm not aware of it.  Since many of us are coming from spreadsheet intensive environments it might make the transition easier for us if we could use our Excel applications directly in PLM 360.

    I’m not sure about running a spreadsheet project directly within PLM360, but we've had internal discussions around adding grid like functionality to the item details page. This is a good idea; however I think we’ll have to put this one out a ways. I also think you’re spot on about the advantage of this feature for users coming from excel solutions.

    Description

    The Header/Footer artifact is ok, but it lacks the ability to have a header/footer on each and every page.


    Impact

    This does not act like a true header and footer which you expect to see when working in other applications like MS Word. Currently if feels as though it is printed from a web page, rather than a document.


    Severity

    High


    Solution

    I understand this could be a different issue to solve, but it would be good if the prints could be made a little more neater and professional by allowing a header and footer on each page to make it look more like a proper document.

    Unfortunately we’re limited to how browsers support this functionality. We’re looking at different output formats to help with this.

    More Custom Print Capability

    Status: Future Consideration
    by Valued Contributor obourne on ‎08-21-2012 03:04 PM

    Previously I was able to create a custom print/form in 360 and it worked well enough BUT I could have used more functionality.

     

    I would prefer to be able to use a scanned document as the basis of my custom print. In that custom print I want to overlay the desired fields in the correct spacial location on the scanned document. In usage within an item I want a particupant to see the document directly an enter in the required feilds as needed (error checking and all). This is the same workflow as filling in a PDF file but instead it would 360-matized.

    Status: Future Consideration
    I'm going to move this down in the list for now.
