When clicking “+Add data” and “Add time series”, you can search for other data types, like assets. However, if you try to follow links, like parent of child asset, you are kicked out of Charts and pushed over to full Search. This means it is impossible to use the asset hierarchy to locate relevant timeseries. Similar issues are seen if you use the files (like P&ID) to enter the asset (to find the timeseries) The test was done one a CDM based data model

When adding data in Charts via the “+Add data”→ “Add time series”→ “Explore and select your data” the behavior using classic vs data modelling is very different.  By using a CDM extended data model we see that a series of actions related to Assets push you out of the “Explore and select your data” and into full Search. We do not see the same behavior when using classic data model.Here is a non-exhaustive list of actions that kick you out of ChartsFrom an Asset, clicking on parent, an asset from the path, or children  from the “assets” reference  From a File, clicking on any Asset reference From an annotated file, clicking on the “Open” button on the popup when you click an Asset annotation From an Activity or TimeSeries, clicking on Asset references Clicking on any Asset in the “bread crumb” trail in the  “Explore and select your data”  Clicking on the back button in the “Explore and select your data”, if the last item in the “bread crumb” is an Asset What does not kick you out:Maneuve

Charts provides a variety of built‑in functions. However, aside from intuitive operators like basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), many of the other operators and functions are not very familiar.Because of this, it is often difficult to understand what kind of calculations are being performed and in what situations these functions can be useful. As a result, there are many functions that we are unable to take advantage of, simply because we cannot easily imagine their use cases.If we are overlooking functions that are actually useful, that would be a great missed opportunity. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could provide sample calculations and concrete use cases for these functions somewhere.Ideally, it would be fantastic to have something like built‑in help documentation for Charts functions, with direct links accessible from the Charts interface itself.

Points of Interest that can be created in a Scene may be used for various purposes, such as near-miss incidents, work procedures, and safety notes. However, at the moment, all Points of Interest are displayed in the same color without any distinction.It would be very helpful if Points of Interest could be tagged and visualized differently in 3D—for example, by displaying them in different colors based on their tags, or by enabling filters to show only Points of Interest with a specific tag, such as near-miss incidents. This would greatly improve usability.

Users are requesting that adding text to shapes (like a rectangle, arrow, etx.) rather than overlaying a text-box onto a shape. This makes having specific formatting on text move more seamlessly and fit the format of other tools (PDF editor, google slides, powerpoint, etx.) Currently it becomes cluttered to try to move things around unless I control-select or drag on top of both. The drag on top of both only works when there is nothing behind it, making it cumbersome to do versus having this as an intended way to add text to shapes. 

Users are requesting that .eml (outlook email communications) are viewable in Canvas and Search.  Our teams consistently leverage different file formats, including emails, as part of their engineering packages and root-cause failure analysis. Users are noting that .eml files (outlook email communications) are not viewable in Canvas. Currently teams export the file to a PDF or other compatible format before they can be uploaded. This adds an additional step before use. 

Strategic Objective: Establishing CDF as the Definitive Source of TruthFor Koch Ag & Energy Solutions (KAES), the primary goal is for all stakeholders to trust CDF as the most accurate and reliable resource for operational data. To achieve this, we must move away from "silent failures." We require proactive monitoring to ensure that if data is missing from CDF, the system—not the user—is the first to identify and report the gap.New Requirement: Proactive Integrity & Trust MonitoringIn addition to standard execution logs, the Kafka Connector API should provide hooks for proactive health checks:Data Freshness Latency: Real-time reporting of the "age" of the last record written to CDF versus the timestamp of the event in Kafka. Source-to-Sink Parity: Automated counters to verify that $N$ records consumed from Kafka equals $N$ records successfully ingested into CDF. Proactive "No Data" Alerts: The ability to trigger a log event or status change if a high-priority Kafka topic produc

They would like to see not only the previous value but also the most recent three data points (date + data value), even if only the values are displayed. They also want to identify trends using a checklist. 

I want to suggest that Cognite should team up with mimstech.com. This can improve the digital twin by providing a full digital engineering drawings. Then you can move away from PDf hotspotting. MiMS tech cover all engineering disiplines. Mimstech comes with open API and is also web based. 

Within the CDF search tool, it would be helpful to have the option to toggle the preview of the file to be full-screen, to better preview the information. Having a compressed window for a document containing a large amount of information is tedious to zoom and scroll. The only alternative is to download every document, but this defeats the purpose of using Cognite.The same logic would be helpful with Canvas as well, the ability to select a document and toggle a full-screen rendering, possibly with a pagination type toggle that could flip through the different pages that have been sequenced in the Canvas.

It would be great if they could compare InField data with PI Data directly within InField checklist. The attached file shows InField values, but they would like to be able to display them for comparison with instrument readings (PI Data). 

Since they cannot issue accounts to partner companies, they would like to make it possible for their representatives to provide handwritten signatures on the checklists.

Now it's challenging to find the correct timeseries, especially for OPCUA, where we have many service signals. It would be good to have a way of prioritizing it in all the UIs, including Canvas and Search. Could be a flag in the timeseries properties or any other way.
