    Allow a BULK IMPORT of Attachments

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 on ‎11-05-2012 08:15 AM

    It is highly tedious and annoying to attach a pdf or a dwg file to a list of items in a workspace. Having the ability to bulk upload attachments to specific items in a workspace would be ideal for mass drawing updates or file updates.

     

    One solution would be importing a zip file of the attaching files and an excel file that would have the item descriptor in one column and the corresponding file name in the other column.

    Copy custom views between users

    Status: Accepted
    by Employee jared.sund ‎06-14-2012 01:45 PM - edited ‎06-19-2012 09:24 AM

    I've seen that the custom views created in the item viewer are not avaliable for other users.

    Is there a way to do this?

     

    As administrator I'd like to create some default views for all the users

    Allow bulk Import into Multiple Selection Picklists

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 ‎11-14-2012 10:52 AM - edited ‎11-14-2012 10:53 AM

    When using the import tool, performing a bulk import of values into a "single selection" linking picklist is possible. Unfortunately I cannot select a "Multiple Selection" linking picklist it in my import to do the same thing.

     

    This feature is very important for our company since it would allow us to show our linked product items in one specific field, as opposed to having multiple "single selection picklists"--which doesn’t make a clean visual. 

     

    The data I have is in a excel format. With over thousands of entries, having the import tool to bulk import the linking picklist values in the multiple selection picklists would allow me to provide my tenant with the information it needs efficiently and visually appealing.

    Item Preview Enhancment

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 ‎11-06-2012 08:22 AM - edited ‎11-06-2012 08:25 AM

    The TABS section of the preview should open up and expand when clicked on instead of redirecting to the specific item. This would allow the quick easy access to key information such as BOM items, attachments, relationships, changes ext. Also there should be the ability to click the specified print view for the item as well.

    Great Idea, I've seen some mockups that are very similar to this idea!

    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

    Jonas, interest idea. I don't think is something we'll address right away, but let's come back to this in the future

    Formatting with Reports on PLM360

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 ‎03-01-2013 07:12 AM - edited ‎03-01-2013 07:33 AM

    Currently when generating a report, PLM360 provides a plain excel output which is not very practical dealing with a large amount of information for over 1000 items.

     

    When exporting the report to Excel, the report should be formatted similarly as the HTML version.

     

    Below are some features to make reports on PLM more practical. 

     

    • Freeze Panes - Top Row
    • Filters on column headings
    • Bordering lines to show column separation
    • Colored rows

    To illustrate and example of what I mean...

     

    Example.png

    This is how a regular excel exported report looks.        This is how it should ideally look.

    Organize Groups/Roles Section Better

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 on ‎09-13-2012 11:38 AM

    Instead of having all the roles for every workspace just listed top to bottom, it should be sectioned for each workspace separately.

     

    Also if the possibility of creating custom sections in the groups tab would be available, it would help organize things much better!

    Admin - Report System Log

    Status: Accepted
    by Asingh5 on ‎09-26-2012 06:47 AM

    Under the reports section, Admin should be allowed to create a System Log Report to see what users are logging in, when they log in and how often. This would help management monitor user behavior and analyze it.

    I could have used this today! See if we can't get this into a future release.

    Adding Project Management items in the Project Management tab is tedious at times. Being able to add project items through scripting would allow an automated procedure involving less time consumption and tedious routine work.

    Status: Implemented
    New read/write scripting access to project management is now available in the May 2013 PLM 360 release!
