There is a feature request from National Grid UK that, super users should be capable of defining columns for different views in the search explorer globally.This means that a super user will be able to set the visible columns for different views and set that as the global project setting for everyone. Individual user can override it but it should be possible to re-apply got global columns settings for the project buy a click of a button(s). This should be applicable for both data model views as well as classic CDF resources.
Unless there’s some other sort applied, the filters and the items within the filters should be listed alphabetically to find items easily.
I would like to change the standard default search setting for all our environments for all our users.Today each user have to set up their own search setting with regards to which metadata to show etc, but I would like the users to have a better starting point first time they log in to fusion. This would make it easier to have a good start with using fusion, also I think most of the users does not know that this setting can be changed.Is it possible for me to set up the default fields to show for each category for all users?
Please add the ability to globally enable metadata categories as default columns.For example on files - since the majority of our files are P&IDs (and the file titles are numbers) we would like to have the metadata categories such as drawing title or description a default option for our network rather than have to show everyone how to add it every time they log in - a large population are not computer savvy and this would help with product integration/user friendliness.
I’m creating this feature request on behalf of @Smitakshi Sen Elapsed time unit should be next to Elapsed time by Default in CDF Data Explorer screen under Events tab for Meta data section for Failure events.
Allow for customer to choose their own Configuration of columns rather than the default Cognite view.This would be the new default, after which users can move fields around as they choose as designed.The configuration includes:which column is displayed in the table view what order the columns appear in the width of the columnThis configuration is set by the customer - maybe in a dedicated page on fusion that is customer specific.
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 All, Instead of relying on the “with metadata” query which only takes in boolean ‘true vs false’ value, is there a way for me to be more specific with which meta-data to bring in? i.e. the ability to select the meta-data to ingest into CDF instead of all meta-data when ‘with metadata = true”.
Hello!We have added specific metadata fields to our Cognite Functions (project name, git branch, git commit hash, git actor, etc) so we can target very specific deployments in debugging and development. But I am not able to list cognite functions with the python sdk by filtering on metadata. For example, the following client.functions.list(metadata={"my_key": "my_val"}, limit=None) just returns an empty list. I know the functions are there, since I can target some of them by using the external id prefix argument. We have the same metadata fields to our time series and sequences, and I am able to successfully list these by using their metadata argument. Is this a bug in the API?
It would be very helpful to have ability to copy and search by Azure Source Id.Currently User can search group by name, ID (internal) and capability. The link between Azure group and CDF group by Source Id. Also, if user doesn’t have access to edit CDF access group - only options to copy ID (internal) but not Source Id. Which is useless for user.
On behalf of Celanese super users:I would like the ability to save layouts/templates for common filters that I use when searching for data in CDF. Currently, every time I use CDF, need to apply similar filters in order to focus my data search, such as dataset and/or additional metadata filters. If I was able to utilize user defined layouts this would make the user experience more streamlined and approachable.
In multiple cases, the validation of a Checklist is not needed and thoses checklists will remain pending, depending on the Team Captain avaliability. And this could also require time from the Team Captain to approve all the pending Checklists.The suggestion is to create an option on the Template creation screen so the user can define if it’s necessary to have an approval or not for the checklists generated from that Template and a possibility to define the group of users that will be able to approve it.As complement, new status for Checklists could also be created to indicate that a Checklist was finished but needs to be approved and a status to signalize the approved.
Need the ability for admins to configure the default on/off state for all 3D resource types (CAD, Point Cloud, 360 pano). This setting should be persistent for all users. For most of our intended use-cases and personas, all three should be ON by default.
Hello, We currently have the need to support radioactivity timeseries that are measured with the gAPI unit. What is gAPI? • API (American Petroleum Institute) units are commonly used in the oil industry to indicate natural radioactivity in geological formations, particularly using gamma ray logs.• gAPI stands for giga API units (1 gAPI = 10⁹ API units), but it’s often a confusion — in most cases, gAPI simply means “gamma API units”, not giga.• In well logging, 1 API unit is a relative measure, not an absolute unit of radioactivity like Bq. This makes gAPI very difficult to integrate to the CDF unit catalog (https://github.com/cognitedata/units-catalog). Since we cannot have an absolute conversion to an SI unit. This conversion depends on calibration curve or lab measurement linking the gamma ray count in API units to disintegrations per second (Bq). My question is: is there a way to support this in the unit catalog? Support of units without conversion to a SI unit? It is very important to us that every timeseries is linked to unit in the CDF catalog and have a unit_external_id even though we will not use conversion for this particular unit. Happy to discuss. Thank you,
I would like to have the ability for a third party web application to have a link that opens a new CDF Charts with pre-configured time-series, start/end times and other charts metadata. The typical way to do this would be for the 3rd party to call an HTTP POST or GET method passing the right parameters. The 3rd party application in question is based on DataMosaix so you can assume the user performing the operation is already authenticated.
We need to establish a process where a user can create new or fix inaccurate contextualization. This needs to be access that is limited to certain users determined by Marathon.
Currently, when a user attempts to access a project via direct URL (e.g., https://ra-neworgprefixpreprod-40-nonprod.fusion.cognite.com/ra-neworgprefixpreprod-40) without the necessary access permissions, the application displays a generic or unclear error screen. This lack of a clear and descriptive error message can confuse end users, who may not understand whether the issue is due to a system error or lack of access rights.Expected Behavior:When a user tries to access a project without sufficient permissions, they should see a clear and informative message such as:"You do not have permission to access this project. Please contact your administrator if you believe this is an error."This will improve user experience and reduce confusion by clearly indicating that the issue is access-related.Suggested Improvement: Display a permission-related error message when a user lacks access Ensure the message includes: The fact that the user lacks access Optional guidance on how to request access or who to contact User Name -Vilas Dharma Suryawanshi | vilas.dharmasuryawanshi@rockwellautomation.comOrganization - Rockwell
Hi team,There should be a API provision to migrate the pre-existing charts and canvas developed in Dev project to be migrated to Prod. Currently all of them need to be recreated from scratch.
Posting on behalf of Koch Ag and Energy Solutions SummaryWe are requesting functionality to enable support for defining custom GraphQL schemas and resolvers on top of CDF. This capability would allow our team to build tailored, efficient APIs for operational applications that surface actionable insights from contextualized manufacturing data.ContextWe are using CDF to centralize and contextualize key plant data — including assets, sensor readings, events, shift logs, inspection documents, and relationships to business systems.Our application team is developing internal tools for specific use case enablement.These tools require fast and intuitive access to data, but CDF’s default GraphQL schema is too low-level for these user-facing applications.Current ChallengesOur frontend developers must manually chain multiple queries to get asset status, performance trends, and associated work orders. Common business logic (like calculating asset availability, filtering alarms, or joining time series to asset metadata) must be repeated in each app. We cannot easily present business-specific views like “ProductionLineHealth” or “ShiftSummary” without building and maintaining our own middleware.Requested CapabilitiesWe are asking for the ability to:Define custom GraphQL object types that aggregate and shape CDF data into operational concepts (e.g., ProductionLine, MachineStatus, DowntimeSummary) Implement custom query resolvers for calculated fields (e.g., OEE, MTBF, energy efficiency) Integrate external system data (e.g., SAP PM, shift logs, scheduling systems) into a unified query layer Apply business rules, KPIs, and filtering logic server-side for reuse across applications Secure the schema and field-level access based on user roles (operator vs planner, plant vs corporate)Example Use CaseCustom Type: ProductionLineOverviewgraphqltype ProductionLineOverview { lineId: ID! name: String currentThroughput: Float availability: Float topFiveAlarms: [Alarm] openWorkOrders: [WorkOrder]energy UseToday: Float} This schema would simplify dozens of low-level CDF queries into a single, reusable API call for our production dashboard.Expected ValueBenefit Impact Streamlined application development APIs are aligned with plant workflows, not just data structure Lower integration effort Data from multiple sources can be presented in one logical schema Faster time to insight Field users access actionable metrics in fewer steps Consistent KPI logic Calculations like OEE or uptime are standardized Broader adoption of CDF More teams (maintenance, operations, digital) can build on it directly Potential Implementation PathsAllow deployment of custom GraphQL services inside CDF projects (e.g., based on Apollo Server) Provide schema extension hooks that pull and reshape data from CDF's GraphQL or REST APIs Offer first-party support for calculated fields or composite objects in GraphQL Enable hybrid access to external data systems within the same query contextClosingThis capability would significantly enhance how our teams leverage CDF in the field, drive app development efficiency, and improve visibility across operations.We would be happy to participate in design validation or pilot this capability if/when it becomes available.
In Canvas, when you add an Object, if it is related to another object through Annotation (purple lines). We’d like the canvas to show when Objects are related as well (similar to my red lines below). Also, the ability to turn each type of line off independently. !--scriptorendfragment-->
hi, when using rule in canvas, I would like it to be easy to see which rules are assigned to which objects.i can’t do it in rule lists, i have to select each object(shape)to see which rules are asigned to it.I'd be happy to have it checked.
At Aker BP we the need for support of video files. Much like with regular files (PDFs) and 3D models we want to annotate videos towards tags and assets in CDF. An added complexity here is that the tagging within a video should have a time element so that we can tell at what part of the video the tag was seen.Potential use cases include, but not limited to:Drone footage ROV Headcam Robots (boston dynamics like)
As we are learning more about how our users use Canvas, there are two main themes emerging from several use cases. STATIC: Use cases that are focused on events are more static in nature and users DO NOT desire the data on their canvas to change or update. (RCAs, Investigations, work packages, etc.) LIVE: Use cases include collaborative spaces for teams to use for ongoing monitoring require the data (timeseries, files, 3D, etc.) to update to the newest version as it flows into Cognite.We are seeking a way to allow users (or systematic processes -- system built work package canvas) to determine the behavior of the canvas that best suits their needs. This could be a toggle in the settings able to be set by the user in the settings or and setting that can be systematically set. This affects files the most today for us and we have to choose one or the other (we have chosen to keep files live at this point). We are happy to demonstrate examples to help define this out more.
Users are asking for functionality within the note-card or similar interface to be able to have full text editing capabilities, similar to a PDF editor, which would allow them the following (and more, reference PDF editor as needed). Another feature they requested was to have shapes that text can be added to (think of a balloon with an arrow on it) where the balloon can have text put in the middle with the arrow pointing to the line. This could be a shape with a connector if needed but having more defaults (custom created by customer if needed) or prebuilt to standard industry symbols and uses. The balloon reference is commonly used for tie-points for projects, another example could be a triangle with a number in it used commonly for revisions. Details requested for the shape of the box and the text functionality within it. (The users specifically said everything we can do with this product request entry text would be great with reference to this request pane). 1. Change the format including shape (rectangle, circle, triangle, etc.), size (dimensions), color (border and internal)2. Change the font color at a character level (not a whole card level), change the bold/italicized/underline of text, change the justification of the card.
Currently if a checklist was not done due to an UPE or any other plant outage, there really is not a good way to capture these situations. The only options are:Option 1 - Set all tasks to “NA” or “Not OK”, set the checklist to “Done”, & add a note explaining why the checklist was not done.Option 2 - Delete the checklistsNeither are good options from a metric tracking POV. This doesn’t tell the whole story of why the checklists were not completed. Adding a status of “Not Done due to Outage” or something similar would easily give us insight into situations like these.
