Views that extends CogniteActivity can be included as an object in Charts, shown as a colored overlay in the timeseries. However, it seems it is a forced filter on assets that are included in the Chart. I can remove the default startTime and endTime filter, but not the asset filter. It is a very likely scenario that I want to add a notification or workorder for an asset that doesn’t contain the timeseries I’m interested in(sensor is upstream). It also might be the case that the asset with the notification/workorder do not have a timeseries at all (it resides further down in the hierarchy).It can be helpful to add a preconfigured asset filter based on the assets indirectly included via the timeseries, but it is an absolute requirement that I can remove that filter. Right now, if the asset with the notification do not have any timeseries I have not found a workaround allowing me to add the notifications I want.   

If you in Charts add a timeseries that is contextualised to a CogniteAsset, you will get the “P&ID” link icon. By clicking on it you will enter search mode for that specific asset, showing the File links as default. This is a nice workaround for a “Find related data”, also allowing you to add CogniteActivities.The instance is shown as a CogniteAsset, and it obviously use the inspection endpoint since you are allowed to change between different views for this instance. However, it doesn’t show the View that is the CogniteAsset extension. The consequence of this is that I’m not able to see neither CogniteFiles nor CogniteActivities as their extension (my CogniteAsset extension has reverse direct relation to the CogniteFile and CogniteActivity extensions). This seriously limits me when filtering on important properties since they only exist in the extension.  A workaround is to go directly to “+ Add data → Add time series”, and then select my CogniteAsset extension when I search, but

Currently data modelling in CDF only support “soft deletes”, which in day to day operations works well and support the necessary sync features. However we have scenarios where we need to delete vast amounts of instances, ideally in a very short timeframe.During testing we sometimes need to delete and recreate a data model We are currently migrating data models and have two living in parallel for a time, eventually we will delete the old one, which has more than 50 million instances, with the current limit of 10 million soft deletes this would 15 days due to soft delete retention period. Cleanup of old test data Decommissioning of data models (or oil rigs for that matter)This is an ongoing issue in one of test environments where we have a need to do a full wipe of all instances within the CDF project.The feature I am looking for is a way to skip the soft delete default, and simply do a hard delete right away. In the scenarios I’ve listed the features of soft deletes are not needed as we

The “Scheduled” feature, currently in beta, has proven to be user-friendly and well-received.I believe this feature is currently available only to users with both “Checklist admin” and “Template admin” roles, but would it be possible to make it available exclusively to “Checklist admins”?In our company, we assign permissions based on the following roles, and it is often the people who actually perform the inspections (i.e., “Checklist admins”) who issue checklists from the “Scheduled” tab.Therefore, making this feature available to “Checklist admins” as well would make it even easier to use.Template admin → People who edit templates. Only a few people.Checklist admin → People who actually perform inspections. All InField users.This may differ from the original design intent of this feature, but I would appreciate it if you could consider this as one suggestion.

Currently, when attempting to schedule certain functions—such as moving averages—the results may differ from the normal calculation results verified before the scheduled execution.Additionally, the results of scheduled executions vary depending on the execution cycle.A sample is shown in the screenshot.Although I haven’t been able to verify everything, I suspect that similar issues may occur with other functions that set the window size.Users typically assume that scheduled calculations are performing correctly without being aware of these discrepancies, and as things stand now, there is a risk that they may rely on incorrect results. Therefore, I expect that the correct calculation results will be recorded regardless of the schedule settings.

Currently, monitoring alert emails cannot be customized beyond a certain point: the email subject is always “An alert was created” and the body of the email cannot be customized to be more user-friendly for readers, etc. I would like more customization for the alert emails.

In Charts, you currently have to set up monitoring jobs on an individual basis.  I’d like the ability to set up a single monitoring job and have it available to apply to multiple charts.

This feature request is to add the ability for Charts to send notification alerts via mobile texts. Often times, manufacturing leadership would like to be alerted off-hours for major operational issues. Text messages have proven to be an excellent means of alerting key resources outside of normal working hours.

Today there is limited to no API access to Charts, creating several issues.One obvious issue is that we cannot automate the setup of Charts. Eg, when an anomaly detection method detects an issue, we would like to be able to auto-create the Charts with the necessary timeseries, timerange, calculations and overlay anomaly insight (CogniteActivity extension). This is not possible today (only pre-build url with instances and range).But another issue is around the maintainability of Charts. Due to the limit on the number or Views/revisions, we need to deprecate and delete old revisions on a regular basis (in particular in periods with heavy data model development). As far as I have seen, Atlas, Canvas and Chart lock the View version to the latest version (or maybe based on the location filter) during config. For Atlas agents and Canvas’ we can find the View versions via the API, allowing us to identify users depending on models that are deprecated, and also auto-duplicate with the updated v

When creating calculations in CHARTS it would be VERY useful to have logic functions (AND, OR, NOT, XOR) which allow multiple (>6 for AND and OR) boolean inputs (TRUE/FALSE) and a single output.This would be really useful for tracking events which may be dependent on multiple conditions being active (or not active). 

Recently, the use of Charts has been increasing, and more users are creating complex calculations for data visualization.In this context, we have received feedback requesting a “Back” button (undo function).When users are building complex calculation formulas, there have been multiple instances where the calculation source suddenly disappears, forcing them to restart from scratch. The more complex the calculation, the greater the impact of this issue.To mitigate this, it would be extremely helpful to have a function that allows users to go back one step (e.g., an undo or back button).We believe this feature would significantly improve usability and reduce the risk of losing work during calculation editing. Thank you for your consideration.

This might already be reported, but I was not able to find it when I searched.Currently Chart only uses an internal, and very limited, unit conversion. It would be a big step forward if we could also use the native unit conversion in timeseries, which is much richer than what is offered via Charts.Since you might have timeseries with no CogniteUnit, Charts still needs to support unit conversion defined in the UI, as a backup solution
