We need the ability to create a default configured view on CDF because the default views are not really helpful for domain experts. The new release allows us to configure our personal views but we need to have a default for Celanese that we can configure for all to have a starting point. This view that CDF has not a good starting view. we need Name, Description, Document Type etc. This is high priority.
Hi, Ibrahim.
If I understand you correctly, you like the new feature where each user can configure the columns that are valuable for them. But you would like the possibility for a company or project to set a different set of starting default columns than the ones that come as standard suggestions?
Best regards,
Knut Vidvei
yes- currently the default is fixed, correct? and i cant change it?
That is correct. The default is the same, and it is up to each user to set the ones that fits their needs the best.
I believe I understand your need, and will take it in to the team.
Yes. We need the ability to configure the default for each Company/Project.
Hi,
We are still looking into how we can solve this best. In the mean time the Domain Experts can set their preferred columns themselves in the UI.
For understanding your needs better, could you share the preferred columns domain experts in your company would like to see as default, and their order?
Best regards, Knut
Thanks for the quick response. The columns that are of interest to people of different backgrounds are going to be likely different, which is why the ability to have a configurable view, where an user can choose the columns of his interest would be helpful. Once the user chooses his or her favorites and arranges them, it should be the same next time he logs in.
Hi, again Ramarao.
What you describe is already available and released feature where each user can set which columns are visible, and the order of importance. This is as you say because different people have different backgrounds and needs.
The icon is at the top right within each data type. Click the icon in the red box in the image. You can even show metadata as columns here. And you can drag to re-arrange the order of your preferred columns.
Today these are stored in the browser, but later we will store them in the user profile of the user so it carries wherever they login.
The other request made earlier in this thread is the ability for a company to configure the starting-set of columns per customer project, applied to all users. That set of features are not solved, as we are still investigating the best way to handle such a need.
Knut
Thank you for the email.
This will be valuable input to this work!
Best regards, Knut
Hi@ibrahim.alsyed . In the new business/SME user focused data exploration under development and testing with you and your team, the option to define default columns and order of these (properties) is possible from data modelling setup side. We are also exploring if/how users can edit these themselves, as the feedback we have gained so far strongly favors the option to customize the view.
We keep in touch on the topic during biweekly sessions.
