If CN goes thru multiple steps of approval/rejections and EBOM changes happen during that time, it sets CN to draft stage and gives a message that "Req contains items that are no longer in the eBoM. ITEMS NOT IN EBOM WILL NOT BE REQUISITIONED. Please confirm changes and then proceed with requisition." In large assemblies it is time consuming to go thru the entire EBOM and figure out changes made by other users. It is very useful to provide the list of items added/removed from EBOM in the message so user can make quick decision and proceed with the CN.

Hey we are dead in the water and getting no response from support, anyone on here able to help??? Both CAD connector and the Web browser are dead.

Current situation: when setting the Date Required for items on a CN, the date picker pops up and when the user selects a date, the date picker starts to fade out. Attempting to click the Update button before the calendar has completely faded will select a different date (whichever random day happened to be over the update button). Desired: After clicking the desired date, the picker calendar should vanish immediately. There should be no opportunity to accidentally click another date. Reason: Current situation is objectively bad design with no benefit. The bug will cause mistakes by users to attempt to click the update button "too fast" for Upchain to keep up and then who don't notice that Upchain caused an error.

This was a Feature available in thick client. Tenant Admins could re-sort the Item and eBOM attributes as required in the plugin. Most users would like to see the attributes that require user inputs to be at the top of the list. So the attributes can be filled out a lot quicker and there is no need to scroll seeking the required attributes that arent filled out , thus improving productivity.

HOOPS translations needs to support multiple configuration in same translation/item. We design several configurations under the same Solidworks cad file. So when translations are made, we want to see the configurations available under their 3D model translations. eDrawing translations currently support this. It would be nice if HOOPS can also support multiple configurations too.

In most cases users do the bulk export to send different format files to project PM/tool maker/supply chain. Please add an option to add recipient(s) (internal only) to the bulk export and once bulk export is ready, everyone added will get the download email. Please see the screenshot.

When doing change notices, the ability to select multiple projects when an assembly is used in many projects would save a lot of time. Currently I have to cycle through all the projects individually, changing the same parameters (date, check boxes, workflow, etc.). It is time consuming.

When creating markups on drawings, I like to save regularly to avoid waste if by chance a crash would happen. When doing this in Upchain you have to create a new saved markup everytime, instead of being able to continue working on an already saved markup. Having the ability to edit already saved markups eliminates a lot of waste and also the chance that the receiver may open and view the wrong markup data which is not only wasteful but has roll on risk associated with it.

In webapp, CR list from item quick view panel shows all CR's that item X is part of. Even if item X is just a child item of another parent being released. If there is a faint marker beside the CR number to differentiate that particular CR where item X is released, it will be beneficial to user when reviewing.

In google chrome, user can open multiple tabs to work simultaneously in various projects. For all the tabs it shows as Upchain. It will be beneficial if each tab name also shows the project/CR/CN that's open in that tab. For example 1. If user have their dashboard open, it should show "Upchain Home" 2. If user have project 9015 open, the tab name should be "Upchain-9015" 3. If user have CR9015-1256 open, the tab name should be "Upchain-CR9015-1256" Use case: Users open multiple tabs & work in most cases and this is helpful in clicking on the correct tab that user wishes instead of searching for the correct tab.

Situation: User had Assy A and Assy B open in Solidworks, where Assy B is one of the child component of Assy A. User initiates check-in on Assy A, switches window and selects CBOM refresh on Assy B. Current Result: Check-in of Assy A get interrupted and throw's an error showing "You are using multiple versions of the same item under same parent". Enhancement: Need to block user from performing the CBOM refresh on Assy B until previously started check-in operation is complete. Either the CBOM refresh button should be greyed out or an error should come up "Refresh operation is invalid, please wait for check-in process to complete".

It would be great if you showed the version of plugin in the title of the downloaded file when you guys do an update as this is what my upchain downloads folder looks like UpchainCADConnector(1).exe UpchainCADConnector(2).exe UpchainCADConnector(3).exe UpchainCADConnector(4).exe

when creating multiple new files for an assembly, you have to check them in, delete them and redownload before you can register the new assembly, there is no way to collect the required files quickly. the process requires deleting everything, and then manually navigating to each item in upchain one at a time. to re download. very time consuming for medium and large assemblies. we really need better file / item collection functions. inventor does generate a report, but you cant see the item numbers because the window is too short.

Due to the sometimes poor translation I prefer to work in a english setup with Upchain and Inventor, especially since I do record video snippets I can then use also for international customers The (Inventor-)plugin seems to take the language from the OS. Switching Inventor and the brwowser language does not have any effect. It would be great, if one could set the language in the plugin configuration.

Upchain keeps the CC parts in their specific folders now, what is great, but I ran into an issue here: I do have some demo assemblies that where created using german language settings, so there are items in Upchain that are linked to parts in the subdirectory "de-DE". I'm now working on a workstation with language settings in en-US, so new CC parts are stored in the subdirectory "en-US". Since the filenames created by CC are not unique, I do get errors, when I insert a component, that have already been imported into upchain in a different language. Of course the recommendation should be to use only one language settings throughout a company, but in reality a lot of customers are working in different language settings or have at least legacy data. Since the item of the multiple CAD files is the same, the additional CAD files should be added to the existing item. When downloading an assembly, all instances of the CC parts could be downloaded, if there is no way to determin, which instance was used in the assembly

Even Solidworks integration of configuration management is not ready, Upchain shall be able to manage versions taking into account part numbering rules or identificators that relates parts between them.

When adding users to create a Team in Upchain, it would be nice to be able to Import a list of users at once. This way, the customer would have to fill an Excel table templates with all the required values/parameters and send it to the administrator to fit Upchain projects requirements. We may be able to push it further by being able to Import a Team of users? or a Complete Project setups? That could give more time for managing the project itself. (it could be a Plus Value) Now, we can Export and it creates an table of users, see the image attached.

The current Document history only shows the uploader and upload date. Even when published via a workflow where someone signs off, there is nothing in history to show who approved the document and what date/workflow it was released under. Item History shows when the specific revision was created, who signed off, and the CR number. Document workflows don't have a workflow number/report to track so not showing who signed off means there is no history to track.

pranit.nagare · ‎08-03-2022

In our workflow, we want the user to pick disposition options from a picklist before initiating the CR. However, as that column is not a compulsory field (like Revision Note/revision type) there is no check if that information has been filled. We would like to be able to set certain attributes as required for a CR to start (and potentially adding a bulk selection of a value similar to revision note when multiple items are present). -Pranit

Sorting by Sequence number in a CR report(or other reports) would be very useful to have as it would help maintain the BOM structure of an assembly. Currently our reports are sorted by Item number only which does not maintain any BOM structure. Ideally what we want is sorted by sequence number first and then within that sort sort by Item number. This can be done in the web app via configure sort but because sequence number is not a field available in the jasper reports we cannot sort by sequence number. The export to excel function exports out the sequence number so we can use that for grouping sub assemblies but the jasper reports do not.
