I have Canvas’ with View revisions that has been deleted. If I delete the “object” directly in the Canvas, it works well. However, if I delete the Canvas directly without first deleting the objects, I get stranded nodes (FdmInstanceContainerReference nodes). If I delete a Canvas with object linking to existing View revisions, it works well.Would be nice if this was fixed since getting Canvas’ with outdated revisions is relatively common in a period with heavy data model development (revisions are constantly bumping, and we need to clean old revisions to stay below the view/revision limit). Now we are forces to run cleanup scripts on stranded canvas nodes on a regular basis

When calculating daily totals or averages using the Resample function, the calculation seems to be performed based on the 00:00 – 24:00 UTC timeframe. I would like the system to account for time zone differences so that the totals or averages are calculated based on the 00:00 – 24:00 period in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).

I have a timeseries chart in my Flow dashboard. When I select a time range (and press Apply), I see no change to the time range in the chart  

 The comment feature in Canvas is really great and we are planning to use it for our shift handovers. We plan to add multiple comments but having to click the comment icon every time to read the content is quite tedious. Since we want the comments to be immediately visible as soon as we open Canvas, we would love to have a feature, like ”pin” comment content.  

The proposal is to get in the Search overview, the location of the contextualized tag in the 3D CAD structure. Such feature will help the user from where the 3D CAD contextualization is coming from in teh 3D CAD structure.Rigth now we do not have this feature, and this should allow us to potentially correct, add, remove some pieces of the 3D CAD structure contextualizationSee the attached illustration... 

When dropping a file from your desktop/drives into Canvas, the file size increases. As one example, it went up 30 times; from 84kb --> 2520kb (without the canvas coverpage). The file size change makes it difficult to download the canvas, as it gets stuck. The end users cannot download the canvas they create and therefore are prone to stop using the platform. 

Hi Team,It was observed that List and Search queries have some functional limitations which are handled explicitly by teams. Below are the expectations: Search queries must support pagination, enabling users to retrieve results beyond the current 1000-record limit. Pagination should include a cursor or offset mechanism, allowing seamless navigation through large datasets without data loss or duplication. List queries must support case-insensitive filtering Users need substring search over large datasets, which is not fully supported. Can we provide feature like "Contains" which will allow substring search.Thanks,Rahul

Problem Statement: Currently, there is no great way to print comments in industrial canvas (If there is not aware of a good way).  Potential Solution Option(s):Anchored to DocumentComment Selection box in the download list (similar to multiple pages) that would allow comments to be turned on that would be anchored to the document based where the user placed it. Comment Pane on right side that shows comments for that page. (Similar to microsoft suite review pane)Separate Comment PageComment Page independent similar to the cover page that could be checked or un-checked that would display on a separate page that would be part of the download.  Downside is the comments may not make sense if there are not associated with the drawing.

 Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) appears to enforce a limit of approximately 200 Azure AD group memberships when resolving permissions for Service Principals. This limitation does not exist in Microsoft Graph, which supports retrieval of all group memberships associated with a user or Service Principal.As organizations scale their authorization models using Azure AD groups, this restriction can prevent access inheritance from functioning as expected and requires manual workarounds that increase operational overhead and governance complexity.Business ContextMany enterprise deployments use Azure AD groups to manage access to assets, plants, data products, and other resources within CDF.A common architecture relies on: Azure AD groups representing access domains. Group Object IDs mapped to corresponding Source IDs in CDF. Service Principals inheriting permissions through group membership. However, when the number of group memberships exceeds the current supported threshold, some memberships

The layers on a PDF are not currently clickable within CDF. I have an example of a file that was loaded as a PDF with certain layers turned off.  When we put this PDF in a canvas and then downloaded the canvas, all the layers were turned on, making it difficult to read. It appears Cognite turned on all internal PDF layers when creating the download.Ask: A - Let’s leave the layer state as is when downloading from a CanvasB - Don't embed the layers and leave them exposed in the resulting PDFC - Have layers viewable in Search PreviewD - (Future) Expose the internal layers in Canvas/preview 

SummaryWhen building workflows in Cognite Data Fusion to populate views in Data Models, there is often a need for intermediate, curated datasets between raw source data and the final target data model.Today, this intermediate data can be stored in RAW tables, but that requires customers to manage temporary tables, cleanup logic, naming conventions, and lifecycle handling manually. A native, workflow-managed temporary storage layer would make workflow development cleaner, reduce repetitive transformation logic, and simplify the overall implementation.  Business ContextWe are using CDF workflows to populate an Asset Hierarchy data model.The source data comes from multiple systems:SAP Functional locations Equipment AVEVA PI Tag metadata The target asset hierarchy data model contains the following views:Site Area Line Equipment System Subsystem TagThe source metadata arrives without the required treatment, standardization, or contextualization. Before writing to the final data model, the

Hi all,The point is to get the possibility to enlarge the All Categories column in the Search. This should be useful if views names are too long to facilitate the navigation.  

Example: The filter shows options in English, while in the list view they are displayed in Norwegian. For example, the filter shows “Ready”, whereas in the view it shows “Klar”.

Documents that are most important for the technician should be listed first, e.g. P&IDs (XB). 

Atlas AI – agent building and chatbot notesThe GoodAble to switch between list and tile view as well as Search. Having a Description is helpful. Nice that there are sample questions. Loading feedback. Ability to stop generation. Legal disclaimer near prompt area. Nice that it shows reasoning steps. Like the suggestions with Show More Bot background color is fine. Reasonable area to write a prompt. Great to be able to view the details using the info icon of what each agent is good at before switching to it.Could be improvedPriority 1Starting a new chat is “risky” because there is no history, copy or chat download/export functionality. Part of the point is to aggregate information for analysis later, sharing or collaboration Chat history/multiple threads Need a way to set expectations up front so that when a new chat is started, we can orient users as to what can and cannot be done. Description helps but gets cut off. Sample questions as defaults are not injected but auto triggered. This

Hi Team,I would like to request for a new feature from Cognite to provide the hard delete options of instances in FDM.Currently, the instances are by default soft deleted and if the soft delete instances limit is reached, no further ingestion is allowed in the Project.Issues faced in the past - We have a shared Cognite Project, which is being used by multiple teams, and one team was in process of migrating their data from SQL to Cognite FDM. In the process, transformations run successfully but few data were corrupted. So, they deleted the entire FDM dataset and performed the transformation again. Meanwhile the soft delete instances limit was reached, making the ingestion failure for all the teams using that project.Here, the first team wants to hard delete the instances however, with no option currently available left them with no choices. And the similar incident has occurred again.Hence, we are requesting to provide a feature to perform hard delete of instances, considering the perfo

When adding time series data to industrial canvas, providing the name of the tag and the description field in the time series tile window would clarify what tag is being shown.   Submitted at the request of the Cognite project team. 

I would like to submit a product idea regarding Charts calculations.Currently, calculations in Charts are performed only within the time range that is visible on the screen. We would like to request an enhancement that allows users to define a specific calculation period (i.e., start and end points) directly within the calculation formula.For example, when using the “sample average” operator, the result is calculated only based on the data currently displayed. As a result, the calculated value changes when the user scrolls or shifts the visible time range.We would like to be able to calculate metrics such as average values over a fixed, explicitly defined time range, including data outside of the current view. This would ensure that the result remains consistent and is not affected by scrolling or changes in the displayed window.We believe this functionality would significantly improve usability and enable more stable and meaningful analysis.Thank you for your consideration.

While working with a selection of time seies in canvas, I would like the ability to select a number of these to send to canvas in one action for further analysis. The way it works now I can send one time series to canvas and then have to search for the other time series i want to add to charts manually.

Currently, the search function starts only after entering a keyword and pressing Enter.Would it be possible to support incremental search, where results are updated dynamically as the user types?I believe that the “Data explorer” in Data Fusion (prior to the current Search feature) used incremental search.With incremental search, users can see results immediately, which makes it easier to try different keywords—especially for users who do not remember exact equipment names or file names. It also reduces the need to retype words.In addition, with the current behavior, there are cases where pressing Enter does not seamlessly trigger the search. In such situations, users need to click the search box again before pressing Enter, which can be slightly frustrating.On the other hand, I understand that incremental search may increase system load and could have performance implications. If introducing incremental search negatively impacts overall search performance, then the current implementat

When searching for assets or timeseries, there’s a feature in the detail tab that shows a list of Canvases where they’re used.↓Would it be possible to extend this to also show a list of Charts that use a given timeseries?Some example use cases:・Charts tend to be created in large numbers, so it’s sometimes hard to remember which Chart was used to create which visualization. Being able to trace Charts from a timeseries would make it much easier to reuse existing work.・Especially for scheduled calculation tags, it can be difficult to find the Chart where the original calculation logic is defined. It would be really helpful if we could trace back from the timeseries to the corresponding Chart to review the calculation.

Currently when plotting Work orders and Permit to work on Charts is difficult to see the difference. The colors are too close. It would be great to have different colors there to choose from or at least make more contrast on the default ones.

Hi!The Q2 Product Release describes the new Atlas Skills feature as “reusable, lifecycle-managed assets”. In my experience the current designmakes skills very hard to reuse makes it impossible to manage their lifecycleReusing skillsTo reuse skills means to me that I can add skills to my agents that have been authored by someone else for another use case. The agent builder in CDF lets me add new skills in two different ways:Search among the skills already added to the agent Upload a skill markdown fileSo the only way to reuse a skill is to download a skill from another agent and re-upload it to my agent? There is no lifecycle management here. Skill versions will become stale very quickly. You have no idea whether your skill is up to date or not.There is no repository of skills where I can search for something relevant to me. I have no idea what skills have already been created. There is no way to inspect a skill once it has been added to my agent (I need to download it locally). Is ther

SummaryThe Cognite Toolkit forces an agent to be defined as a single monolithic YAML file — config (name, id, description, LLM), instructions, the skills list (external IDs to pre-existing skills), and tools (including inline Python source) all in one file. We need a modular, file-structure-based agent definition that the toolkit parses at deploy time, so skills and Python tools can live as standalone, testable, version-controlled source files that are created and attached to the agent automatically on deploy. Pain pointsThe monolithic YAML blocks normal DevOps practice (isolation, unit tests, review, reuse). Concretely:Skills cannot be deployed from source. A skill should be an isolated directory containing a SKILL.md (possibly other supporting files as well, as per the emerging standard). But the toolkit references a skill only by external ID — the skill must already exist in CDF. There is no way to point the toolkit at a SKILL.md and have it create and attach the skill on the fly du
