CDF: User Experience Issues

More issues:

Please see how text is overlapping  with the next column in two occasions

@ibrahim.alsyed: as for the point on improving the 3D model overview page, this is currently in progress and should be part of the June release.

Hi @ibrahim.alsyed,

Lars mentioned the timeline for the 3D model overview page, as for Point no 2 will be ready by the end of the month and for point no 1 will need some help from @Philippe Bettler with the timeline.  

Thank you,
Andreea.

@Andreea Pastinaru  what about my last post on overlapping text?

@Andreea Pastinaru @ibrahim.alsyed , as we roll out FDM objects, there will be more clarity on what the user is looking at, and it will become easier to navigate the data for #1.

The use case is interesting as the UX will need to make it easy to bring different but related objects constraints in parallel e.g. the users wants to see Alarms for a given site. 

@Andreea Pastinaru if we want to improve data exploration in CDF then it is important to acknowledge that data in CDF must have a domain expert UI. This means that there is no such thing as data sets, data source or any other terminology as meta data etc. 

Hi @ibrahim.alsyed ,

Ref to your last post on overlapping text, the team is working on it, should be very soon fixed. 

I totally agree and aligned with your last comment. The terminology will change as we roll out FDM objects, as Philippe mentioned as well. 

Thanks,
Andreea.

@ibrahim.alsyed The issue is fixed and we just released the newest features in Data Explorer. 

As for terminology and more improvements with focus on the Domain Expert UI,  will come by June. 

Hi! We wanted to come with a short update. We are currently working on a data exploration experience with the business/Subject matter expert user in focus, where our goal is to abstract away the “IT language”. We will be needing several iterations to nail this, and engaging in user testing across the customer base. An update on the status will be shared in October release. 

Hi there!
Providing an update on this request, as we have addressed or are in the process of addressing the points raised.

We are significantly simplifying the exploration experience with Industrial Data Search that focus on the Industrial/SME user and their needs.

What you can expect in Industrial Data Search; 

• Filters are not focused on the more “Data Engineer” user group, but rather the SME. We are not exposing all potential filters (Data Sets, IDs etc), and will also in the next couple of releases support customization within in each project to define what filters to show. 
• Event types over the next releases we will give the option of pre-filtering data for all users of a project, as part of supporting more customization. One such example, can be to define some filtering rules for the type of Evens you deem valuable for the Industrial/SME users to see, and have those filters auto-applied. 
• Location/Site/Facility is possible to configure, and acts as an efficient filter on the data a user has access to. For an Industrial/SME end user, this simplifies the data exploration, as they start their exploration on only the data belonging to the facility they care about. 
• Finding the right 3D model has been challenging. In Industrial Data Search, one can configure 3D scenes that combine 3D models (CAD, pointcloud, 360 images) and ties them to the correct facility. The user does not have to select which 3D model to open, this is configured for them.
  • Directly from the Landing page in Fusion.cognite.com, the user can click on “Browse 3D” and be taken straight into the digital twin. 

Best,
