Product Ideas

Hosted Extractor run triggerParked

It would very helpful to have a way of triggering a hosted extractor run. I have an extractor that we only want to run once a day when in production but we are trying to build it out and test it. It is very slow development when we have to wait a minimum of 5 minutes for the schedule to trigger. If hosted extractors get a trigger feature then I see nothing stopping it from being used in workflows.

Annotation SearchPlanned for development

We need the ability to search documents like P&IDs in CDF or the canvas to find annotations, some documents have 50+ annotations and without a search feature, we have to manually look through the entire document to find the asset tag we are looking for. 

Add the ability to pause Data Workflow and Function schedulesImplemented

Hi Team,With reference to post: Cognite Hub, I am adding the idea to add the abiity to pause data workflows and function schedules.Currently, the only way to pause the runs for both of them is to delete the schedule. This also does not aid in maintaining the schedules via toolkit. Adding a pause functionality like transformations would enable to pause their schedules as well.This will result in better user experience for data/deployment engineers using CDF.Thanks,

Workflow NotificationsPlanned for development

Sometimes workflows fail and I really need to know as soon as possible when they do. I think being able to send a well structured email with links to the workflow, the task that failed, and the error from the task would be the perfect addition to workflows. Is this feature in the roadmap and what can I do to influence the decision to prioritize it?

email notification for transformation errorsPlanned for development

This feature request is to implement email notifications for transformation errors within workflows.  

Workload identity federation in CDFNew

Today resources deployed in CDF (Transformations, Cognite Functions etc), requires a client and secret. This is done through providing the secret either through cognite-toolkit or in the user interface.However it is not possible to use Workload identity federation to be able to reach secrets in an Azure tenant from CDF. This is hindering the possibility of using a federated credential to retrieve keys from a key vault for instance. Using a workload identity federation would be:More secure, as this does not require client / secrets Reduce workload on secret rotation 

Record of "when was the last datapoint ingested?"Planned for development

Currently, CDF UI displays information about the timestamp of last datapoint ingested under the label “Last Reading”.For example:I have following timeseries, with “Last reading” as 16 days ago:  Now I add a datapoint : timestamp: 2025-01-05 00:00:00 (UTC)value:20The “Last Reading” gets updated to 12 days ago; denoting the timestamp of last datapoint ingested.  Additionally a feature of displaying when was this datapoint added will be useful because I can know when was this datapoint added to the timeseries for investigating failures or debugging. Its similar to the “Updated at” which records when any metadata/properties of that timeseries is changed. BUT this information will be for datapoints. 

Gantt - structure is doubledImplemented

As a user when I expand groups - I see that the group summary is repeated per group. I only need to see the summary on the lowest group level such that I don’t get redundant information cluttering the view

Add option to hide Gantt bars on GroupsImplemented

As a user, I want the option to hide the “Summary” Bars on the group levels in the Gantt chart and only show them for activites.  

creation of data set from extraction pipelineClosed

To create an extraction pipeline, you need to select a datasetit would be convenient to be able to create a dataset from that page directly or at least to have a link to go directly to the dataset creation page which could be hard to find for a new user

Attribute list should not be saved in Browser CookiesImplemented

As a user i want to see always the last update/version of Cognite Maintain.Currently we have the issue, that if we add new attributes in the Attribute table and also add it to the “Default” Table attributes it is not visible for users if the don’t reset their browser cookies.As we have an increasing amount of Maintain End Users, sending out e-mails to reset their browser cookies is not a preferred solution if updates on the Table attributes are done!    

Ability to customize list of properties in InField (Light - DM only)Gathering Interest

Ability to customize the list of properties shown in assets, maintenance orders and other types in InField (Light- DM Only). 

Allowing Entra ID service principals be used to interact with CogIdP endpointsNew

A user (jsablok@slb.com) from SLB reported encountering a 401 response when attempting to hit the API https://api-docs.cognite.com/20230101/tag/Projects/operation/listChildProjects/ using a service principal that is part of the admin group. Upon consulting with the Auth team, it was identified that EntraID service principals cannot be used to interact with CogIdP endpoints. This limitation has been acknowledged and added to the support backlog for future consideration.

Canvas Snap To GridGathering Interest

Hello,While developing inside of Canvas, it would be nice to be able to utilize the grid in the background by allowing us to optionally snap to the grid.

Retrieve timeseries and documents using asset infoNew

In InField the customer would like to be able to search timeseries (i.e. selecting the timeseries tab in search), then enter an asset name, e.g. PUMP-123, and bring up the timeseries associated with the asset. This would be a shortcut for searching within assets and then opening the resulting asset to see its timeseries. 

Custom list of properties in InFieldNew

In InField “light” (CDM version) it is not possible to customize the list of properties shown in the overview cards or details. The customer would like to be able to pick which properties to display.

Charts: Drag and drop source time series from the list to the calculation windowGathering Interest

Hi, I typically add all my timeseries to my chart before I start building a calculation. I’ve found myself trying to drag from that menu into the calculation window. That doesn’t work of course, so when I go to click the Add Node button, select a timeseries from the list, and add multiple ones they all stack up and its incredibly easy to have so many without knowing how many you have clicked on. I think this Product Idea is for 2 features.Allow drag and drop from left menu of already added timeseries into a calculation window stagger the nodes that have been inserted when clicking

canvas: RCA component download as PDFPlanned for development

hi there, when RCA has done and want to save as PDF in canvas,  now RCA component is in coverpage (the overall first page, which tends to be super large).we want RCA component is treated as one component and printed as a single page. 

Change Asset and Event type of data from image to text in CanvasPlanned for development

Today it seems that information like Assets and Events are included in Canvas as an image. It is not possible to copy the text. Also, if the amount of information is too large, the fixed resolution may be too low rendering the information so blurry it is impossible to read.When using data modelling it is not a workaround to go to “Find related data” (to be able to copy the text), since the search popup do not show all the properties of the viewIt would be helpful if the information was presented as text (allowing copy of the text) and not as an image

Canvas Mark-Up Capabilities and EnhancementGathering Interest

Within the Canvas Module of CDF, consider adding enhanced mark-up capabilities.Enhancement Considerations:Add Cloud polygon shape for revision indications Add Call-Out w/ Text Option (Box with Arrow) Opacity Option for Line and Shape Objects Ability to add / organize user-created stamps (toolchest) Ability to create layers for mark-up objects (Turn On / Off)

Ability to resize Comments/Text/Sticky Notes in CanvasPlanned for development

Need improved ability to resize objects in Canvas. Comment Boxes can not be resized at all currently. Files can not be resized if added via search (not + data)Text boxes and Sticky Notes can only be resized proportionally.  It would be beneficial to the visual formatting and organization of canvases if each of these items could be resized dynamically, without size ratios being locked.   

Canvas Comment Word Wrap ImprovementPlanned for development

Include the unit and unit quantity in the search table/filterNew

The units (linked to the unit system) is a powerful descriptor that is underutilized in Search.As far as I can see, it is not possible to search for it, filter on it nor show it in the table.Since the unit linked to the unit system guarantees consistent naming, it makes it a useful property to search/filter on. Eg, I would like to search/filter on unit quantities like “volume flow rate” or “Pressure”, or the unit “m3/d”

Infield "light" to group files by categoryNew

When listing files in Infield “light” (based on CDM/IDM) the grouping appears to be by MIME type (e.g. application/pdf). The request is to group by file category, as it is done in CDF Search results.

Recent activities to be exposed via APIGathering Interest

Solutions built on top of the Common Data Framework (CDF) may not initially expose the CDF user interface (UI) to end users. However, these solutions can allow users to delve deeper into data once they identify a problem, such as during a root cause analysis (RCA). This approach enables users to launch the CDF UI in the context of the identified issue.To enhance user experience, it is beneficial to show users their recent activities within the solution's interface. While the CDF UI currently displays recent activities, this information is not directly accessible to end users.This idea proposes exposing recent activity information through an API or other mechanisms. This would allow solutions to display recent activities on their own interfaces, providing an aggregated view of all associated workflows, context launches, and more. This integration would offer a seamless and informative user experience.
