Should be able to change font size and colour within a sticky note. Also, why not be able to change the colour of the sticky note with HEX codes, and only restrict it to four colours?

there is no option to edit a chart directly from canvas. you have to open the time series in charts. Save as a new name and then reopen canvas and manually add the new chart. It should be possible to edit the chart directly from canvas, save and then update the canvas.

When manipulating the chart, like zooming/translating, or just moving the pointer to the chart are such that the slider appears, or select/unselect the browser, it triggers a refresh of the data in the “Explore and select your data” window. If you have zoomed in on a file, or searched and filtered on properties, everything gets reset. It seems unnecessary to refresh the data on the “Explore and select your data” window every time I touch the chart, and it makes it impossible to move back and forth when investigating a P&ID

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

When using classic data model, there is a separate button in the right column allowing you to add events in the Charts For Data Modelling you have to do “+ Add data” → “Add time series” → select either Asset or the Activity category → select the Activity you want to include.For a new user, the “Add time series” might throw you off a little (reoccurring feedback from SMEs trying Data Modelling in Charts).It would be good to have names that allow a new user to find things more easily 

Today, when adding data (using data modelling), the Category defaults to CogniteTimeSeries.Would it be possible to have Chart remember your selection (some engineers always search via the Asset) so you do not have to select every time? 

Can a simple label be added to Infield so that a user knows which environment they are in? We have 3 different environments and the only way to know which we are in for certain is to log out and log back in. We have had users create templates in our UAT environment before they realized it. Then they had to recreate them manually again in production.A simple label at the top would suffice. This would save us countless times of logging in and out and also make sure users know when they are not in the correct environment. ​@Andrew Montgomery 

Now, when selecting the stacking function in Charts, all the selected timeseries are combined in the same Y-axis. See attached picture. It is reported by the SMEs that this UI is very messy and hard to read properly. Suggestion to improve this would be a feature where the user can select if he/she want to stack the Y-axes separately (see picture). This would help with better readability of the data in the chart. 

The File category view is very useful, allowing you to quickly filter on the right files. But some file categories are more important than others, especially the P&IDs. It would be good to be able to configure the order of the file categories in that list, allowing us to eg “pin” the P&ID category on the top 

there's an unnecessary amount of filtering options under search. I guess its okay to show the options available, but for several tags there are multiple filters without any hits - why are these shown? The number of filters is already many, some of them with descriptions not too accurate (but I guess they are for some people...)  This is mainly for trying to remove some noise from the filtering functions.   An explanatory information document for the filter options would also be nice. many people who will be trying to filter will really struggle to know what to filter on.Can hide properties from filter if none of the values are populated.

When selecting an instance in Search, the Overview tab is very useful (seeing more than one data category without having to switch view). The challenge today is that the tiles have pre-defined columns, and they do not allow for filtering. It is of course possible to go into the “full screen mode” for each category, like Activities, but then you loose the possibility of seeing data from more categories in context.It would be very useful to be able to configure the properties we see in each tile and to filter on properties, like we can do in the “full screen mode”. 

With the data modelling framework, most models will end up with a significant number of Views. Today we are not able to control the order the Views are presented in a good way. By reverse engineering it seems like the order of the Views is based on The order of the (first mentioned) CDM extension in the model definition. Alle non-CDM Views are listed at the end, irrespectively whether it is listed before CDM or not  What is considered a CDM extension by the UI is not based on the implements, but whether it reference at least one property from one of the CDM containers Inside each Category (eg, a specific CDM extension, or the non-CDM Views), the order in the model definition dictates the orderIf I choose alphabetic sorting it seems to only affect the non-CDM-Views, and not the order inside each CDM category. It do however put all the CDM categories first or last It is very inconvenient to use the order of appearance in the model definition as the way of sorting (we have to sort both th

When selecting an instance in Search, the Overview tab is very useful (seeing more than one data category without having to switch view). However, the tiles are static and cannot be resized. Resizing would allow the user to see more of the data in one category while still see the other data categories (eg I want to see more of the properties from the Asset while still seeing the list of workorders.For the same reason we would like to be able to change the order of the tiles, eg moving the workorder tile up next to the properties tile, to better focus on the things we want to see.The same behavior is also relevant when searching for data via Charts and Canvas

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.  

When selecting the property that will be used for the x-axis in the graph, the list is not searchable. For more complex Views the list of properties can be long (100+), which makes a non-searchable non-sorted list relatively hard to work with
