Product Ideas

Currently, the Japanese translation for the operator used to perform exponentiation in Charts is shown as 「電源」, but this makes it difficult to understand at a glance what the function actually does.Would it be possible to correct this to a more appropriate translation? It’s a minor detail, but since this is a function that is used fairly often, I would really appreciate it if you could consider reviewing the translation.

In Charts, it’s possible to freely configure the units for each time series.However, I’m having trouble when trying to merge a manually set unit with the default unit.For example, in the screenshot, the upper time series is a calculated value added using “Create calculation.” I manually set its unit to “°C,” and attempted to merge it with the lower time series using “Merge unit.”But Charts recognizes them as different units, so the merge doesn’t work properly. To work around this, I have to manually reassign the unit “°C” to the lower time series—even though it already has the correct unit. This is quite time-consuming.If I'm doing something wrong, I would really appreciate it if you could point it out.If this behavior is actually by design, I hope it can be improved in the future.

With the data modelling framework, most models will end up with a significant number of Views. Today we are not able to control the order the Views are presented in a good way. By reverse engineering it seems like the order of the Views is based on The order of the (first mentioned) CDM extension in the model definition. Alle non-CDM Views are listed at the end, irrespectively whether it is listed before CDM or not  What is considered a CDM extension by the UI is not based on the implements, but whether it reference at least one property from one of the CDM containers Inside each Category (eg, a specific CDM extension, or the non-CDM Views), the order in the model definition dictates the orderIf I choose alphabetic sorting it seems to only affect the non-CDM-Views, and not the order inside each CDM category. It do however put all the CDM categories first or last It is very inconvenient to use the order of appearance in the model definition as the way of sorting (we have to sort both th

When manipulating the chart, like zooming/translating, or just moving the pointer to the chart are such that the slider appears, or select/unselect the browser, it triggers a refresh of the data in the “Explore and select your data” window. If you have zoomed in on a file, or searched and filtered on properties, everything gets reset. It seems unnecessary to refresh the data on the “Explore and select your data” window every time I touch the chart, and it makes it impossible to move back and forth when investigating a P&ID

When selecting an instance in Search, the Overview tab is very useful (seeing more than one data category without having to switch view). The challenge today is that the tiles have pre-defined columns, and they do not allow for filtering. It is of course possible to go into the “full screen mode” for each category, like Activities, but then you loose the possibility of seeing data from more categories in context.It would be very useful to be able to configure the properties we see in each tile and to filter on properties, like we can do in the “full screen mode”. 

When selecting an instance in Search, the Overview tab is very useful (seeing more than one data category without having to switch view). However, the tiles are static and cannot be resized. Resizing would allow the user to see more of the data in one category while still see the other data categories (eg I want to see more of the properties from the Asset while still seeing the list of workorders.For the same reason we would like to be able to change the order of the tiles, eg moving the workorder tile up next to the properties tile, to better focus on the things we want to see.The same behavior is also relevant when searching for data via Charts and Canvas

When selecting the property that will be used for the x-axis in the graph, the list is not searchable. For more complex Views the list of properties can be long (100+), which makes a non-searchable non-sorted list relatively hard to work with 

When clicking “+Add data” and “Add time series”, you can search for other data types, like assets. However, if you try to follow links, like parent of child asset, you are kicked out of Charts and pushed over to full Search. This means it is impossible to use the asset hierarchy to locate relevant timeseries. Similar issues are seen if you use the files (like P&ID) to enter the asset (to find the timeseries) The test was done one a CDM based data model

Recently a change was implemented to make the connection lines between documents on a Canvas to be orthagonal and to combine and flow between documents.There are some Canvases where I would like to be able to see a direct straight line connection between my references to quickly locate interconnectivity.My product idea:  add a toggle to allow me to choose between orthagonal connectors or straight line direct connector.

Current BehaviorIn the transition from InField 1.0 to InField 2.0, PDF rendering on mobile devices shifted from utilizing the device's native viewer to rendering in-app using the Unified File Viewer. Native viewers are written in native code (C/C++) and render directly to the GPU meaning that they can stream pages and down-sample large images on the fly without memory constraints. But this change, while necessary to support advanced interactive features, subjects the viewer to strict memory limits enforced by mobile browsers (e.g., iOS Safari, for example, caps total canvas pixels at ~16.7 million.). Consequently, when a user attempts to open a highly complex or large document that exceeds this safe mobile rendering threshold, the browser fails without providing any notification or context to the user.Proposed SolutionImplement a clear warning prompt within the Unified File Viewer when a document’s size exceeds the safe mobile rendering limit. A notification such as, "Document size too

In Charts and Canvas and Streamlit, items created for quick checks or simple testing (which are not valuable and can be deleted without issue) are listed together with highly valuable items used in daily operations (which would cause problems if deleted).Although only the creator can delete their own items, as CDF usage grows and more Charts and Canvas assets are created, the risk of accidentally deleting important items increases.To prevent this, could we have an optional deletion lock feature for Charts and Canvas and Streamlit?When the lock is enabled, the item cannot be deleted; once the lock is manually removed, deletion becomes possible again.This would help protect important items from accidental removal.

Alternate Tank Numbers – It looks like the alternate Tank numbers are not included.  I tried to search for Tank 35-2 and it wasn’t able to locate it.  Would be possible to add a field for the alternate name for tanks?P&ID Connections – I like how Cognite draws connection lines between references currently, however I think this could be improved by adding a conditional for matching line number so that each exact pipe connection only is shown.Text ID – on some of the P&IDs, it looks like the text identifier struggles to ID rotated text, is there any way to improve this?  Ex.  Can the AI run another similar search with each P&ID rotated 90 degrees?

When creating calculations, the four basic arithmetic operations are some of the most frequently used features. However, in the current Charts experience, creating even slightly complex expressions requires configuring a large number of Functions.For example, the Add Function can only add two time series at a time, so even for a simple expression like A + B + C + D + E, you need to place four separate Add Functions.Could this process be made simpler so that basic arithmetic can be built more easily?Ideally, it would be great if users could enter an expression directly on the “Create calculation” screen—for example:A + (B - C) / (B + C) * 100 + D × Eand Charts would automatically generate the necessary Functions.If the expression format followed something similar to Excel, most users would find it intuitive and easy to use. 

In the checklist section of InField it is a need to be able to sort on functional location attributes. If we first are able to choose which attribute to sort on, and afterwards if it is in rising or falling order it would be really helpful! A specific use case for this is to sort on location/area. Then the user are able to see all f.loc that is in the area that he currently is working in.  

There is a need to create a check list based on a list of functional location copied from an external source (Such as an excel sheet) or manually typing in. The functionality makes it easy for technicians wanting to create checklists based on a list of functional location from mail or other list to make tag data/work orders and 3D model available in the field. Using templates for this is not a viable option since these are one-off needs (Check list is only needed once). This functionality has been available in earlier versions of our InField which can be used for reference.

Sylvamo users are looking to avoid scrolling with the trackpad, essentially. When navigating the Chart, the idea is: Buttons that allow users to scroll through the time series (see screenshot below). These buttons could dynamically scroll either large chunks of time or relatively small ones, depending on how quickly the user was clicking them.  End users are using Dell, Lenovo etc.  laptops

When exploring data in CDF search industrial tools, I want to be able to open & expand the 3D model/ asset results in a new tab, without (pop out in new tab  button) without leaving my search page ,currently I have to expand the result to full screen & leave my search page ( not easy to compare between different assets & have to duplicate tab & consume time for search results to load then expand only one asset per tab)not sure if I am missing an already existing feature,But a pop up button for asset overview, would be very useful for me & my clients 

Today the CogniteUnit is not shown under the Properties in Search. It is also not used in the timeseries Preview tab. It would be helpful to be able to search and filter on CogniteUnit, and do unit conversion in the timeseries Preview

Sometimes is difficult to navigate in Search. Lets improve filters in Search by adding "Contains", "Is empty" (and probably numerical options like greater, less etc) options. This is industry standard. But CDF doesn’t have it 

In Celanese, we are reviewing moving multiple data model views to streams due to the growing instance volumes. Several of the views have direct relations to each other and to other data models. Within one record, we need the capability to define a direct relation to a data model instance and to a record in another stream.

The user from MPC have requested the ability to customize the Tooltip on the Annotation display on the Canvas. When hovering over an annotation in Canvas, the tool tip is listing the Source IDs of the referenced files.  The Source ID is less meaningful to users than the drawing number or the title of the drawing.  They’d like the option to control what appears in the tool tip.CC @eric.dixon@cognite.com

the 3D Model pushed into a power BI dashboard with the annotation as well, to be utilized in external dashboards.

Currently, when a Canvas or Chart is created, the creator is automatically assigned as the “Owner.” We would like to request the implementation of a feature that allows ownership to be transferred to another user.BackgroundIn our operations department, Canvas and Charts are used for long-term operational monitoring. However, the primary person in charge changes relatively frequently. Therefore, we need a mechanism that allows ownership to be transferred smoothly to the next responsible person.From a long-term operational perspective, having the original creator remain as the owner even after role changes or internal transfers raises concerns regarding internal security and governance.For these reasons, we would greatly appreciate it if an official ownership transfer function could be implemented.Additionally, ​@Shun Takase-san from Nippon Shokubai commented that since Canvas and Charts can be searched by the creator’s name, having the current responsible person listed as the creator si

When viewing an asset in search, if you click the asset tab in the overview window, that tab is defaulted to the “Asset Parent”, but path would be a more appropriate default, showing details for the currently selected asset.   

In Workspace Data Management / Data explorer you can preview a timeseries and download datapoints as csv (image attatched). In workspace Industrial Tools / Search, you don’t have this option to download as csv when previewing a timeseries.CDF users who use Industrial Tools / Search, have to find the ts externalId, copy it, switch workspace, paste and search for the ts externalId, preview and then download. This is very confusing and non-intuitive, especially for new or casual CDF users.
