Common Navigation, functionality and iconsNew

For a good User Experience, in general, a Cognite Specific Icon should serve the same purpose in all Cognite programs.  Navigation and functionality should be similar across modules.  Cognite should adopt a consistent philosophy in how you manage this and converge all of your applications for consistency:1) When you search for MBD1070, CDF finds MBD-1070, but Maintain does not find any asset.2) In CDF, when you pan to another asset in the 3D model and single click , you can select the next asset over (MBD-1270) and open the meta data.  In Maintain, if you select another asset you highlight the shape only.  You do not get any data or even identification of the asset.3) When you select an integrated asset (PW-424-A) in CDF you get a section of pipe and 6 valves.  In Maintain, you are able to select and highlight a single valve or shape.4) Maintain has no access to photogrammetry or laser scans as layers in the 3Dmodel.5) You are able to take measurements in both Maintain and CDF modules, but the measuring tools in CDF are much more robust (polylines, polygons, areas, volumes).  Maintain has straight line distance only.  In CDF you can change the units from metric to English, in Maintain distance is in mm only.6) CDF allows slicing in all three planes. Maintain allows slicing in the vertical plane only.7) In canvas, if you add a 3D view, you cannot use any of the 3Dmodelling tools, such as measurements.8) The icon for adding layers in CDF search changes the marker legend in Maintain9) An icon with a question mark in CDF shows Navigation guidance, while an exclamation point shows the same information in Maintain.

Cognite Data Fusion: Data Set Group/Tenant/Company Selector Within a Project To Switch Between Groupings of Data Sets User Has Access ToClosed

Hello!We currently have a multi-tenant application (multiple companies data can be stored within same DB with a tenant Identifier to segment data).  Our business performs services work for these companies, so we have internal employees that are granted access to several of these companies.  We are in the process of migrating some of our functionality over to being backed by CDF.  During this transition, we will have internal employees demoing to customers in both our product and the CDF UI.  For Data Sets, we plan to externalId them prefixed with Company/Tenant Identifier combined with the data source, so that the externalId may be something like “abc-inc-app-that-does-stuff” where “abc-inc” would be the tenant identifier.  When our internal employees are demoing results using both our product and CDF to Company A, the internal employee does not want other companies (Company B) data to be visible.  In our app, a user with access to multiple companies is able to switch between Companies accommodate this, but I don’t know the best way to do this in CDF.I would like to be able to group data sets into a “Data Set Group” (or Company or Tenant if we want to be more specific/rigid about the meaning).  Then I would like to be able to select a “Data Set Group” in CDF and have only Data Sets within that “Data Set Group” be visible when navigating between types of data. Initially, I thought I would be able to use different CDF Projects for this purpose, but according to Torgrim Aas we will need to store multiple Companies data within a single shared Production Project we are being provided with as a part of our partnership.  This is why this feature request is critical for us to move forward. Thank you for your help.
