Enhancement request: Entity Properties - Sort order/alphabetize

You know the product is getting seriously good when enhancement request are for non-critical items. Thank you to all the team for a great useable product. Now that I've buttered you up...
As a general question, where should enhancement requests such as this be addressed? This forum or elsewhere?
My request: Would it be possible to include some way to sort/alphabetize the various lists in dialogs (by standard behaviour: clicking the heading)? For example, in Entity Properties - Relationships, the relationships are listed in no particular order (well, probably in "natural" order, according to order of creation). This makes it difficult to find a particualr item in long lists. This applies to nearly all such lists (unique identifiers, responsible parties, documents, dynamic properties, user defined properties, etc.) for entities, attributes, tables, and so on. For long lists, it would be very useful to be able to visually scan through the list in alpha order, rather than hunt-and-peck.
Thanks

I logged an ER for that

  • Request/Service Offering Sort Order Problems

    I am having a difficult time finding a way to sort the results of a MP Enumeration List prompt type.  The sort order on the portal user prompt is random even though I have arranged them in teh Service Manager console list to be alphabetical.  This
    does not apply to the prompt the end user sees in the portal.   It is not alphabetical.  Anyone have any ideas? 
    The MP Enumeration prompt is mapped to the Service Request Source list.   Version is 2012 R2 with update rollup 2 installed on all SCSM servers.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, have you found a solution to this?

  • Alphabetize Song Title Sort Order Under Genre on iPod

    Here is the general idea of what I am trying to do on the iPod.  When viewing songs on the iPod, if I select Genre from the main menu, I cannot find a way to display all the song titles in a selected genre in alphabetical order.  This can be done easily with the songs in iTunes on the laptop or desktop but seemingly not in the iPod.  There is no big problem if you have only a handful of songs in any one genre but if you have several hundred songs in a particular genre and titles do not display in alphabetical order, then finding a desired song is very time consuming and necessitates scrolling through the entire list.  Is there a way to alphabetize the song title sort order within Genre on the iPod?

  • Sort order in Leave Request Approver screen

    Hi,
    Where can I set the the sort order for the portal screen which lists the managers tasks to approve when they select 'Launch WebDynpro' from the UWL.
    Rob

    This is the note 1484853 but as i said you cant see it unless you raise a Message for SAP , We have to add yout company to the note.
    these are the steps
    Symptom
    In LeaveRequestApprover application, a higher level manager can
    approve/reject a leave though he/she is not the owner of the approval
    workitem (TS12300097). It happens when a higher level manager clicks on
    the leave in the TeamCalendar launched from the LeaveRequestApprover
    application.
    Other terms
    LeaveRequestApprover, TS12300097, prepare_select, WorkList,
    LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF07
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Reason:- This is caused because the approve/reject button were not
    restricted based on the logged in user.
    Prerequisites:- IT105 entries for the backend PERNRs should be correctly
    maintained.

  • OWB 10gR2 - some enhancement requests

    Hi, I've been working with OWB 10gR2 for approximately a week now, and I've come across a few (minor) bugs, as well as a list of enhancements that I think would make the tool better. I'd like to surface these in this forum so they can be either disagreed with or have workarounds suggested, as well as getting this list in front of Oracle. Also I'm new to the tool, so maybe there are ways to accomplish what I want.
    p.s. as a side note - please don't take these as criticisms of the tool. I'm actually very impressed with OWB 10gR2, but just want to surface some ideas that I think would make the tool better.
    Thanks,
    Scott
    ---Bugs:
    1.     If I enter a quote character in one of the business description fields (i.e. for a cube or dimension), it causes the DDL scripts to blow up. It probably mentions the list of valid characters in the users guide somewhere - but if a character isn't legal, it should be flagged when I try to enter it originally – not when deploying
    2.     I can enter illegal strings in an expression operator that fail validation there, but the whole map still passes validation. For instance, I put in an expression (for a varchar2 field) using a single quote at the start, but mistakenly with a double quote at the end. I didn’t bother to validate this within the expression. The whole map validated fine, but (of course) blew up with the illegal syntax when generating the code.
    3.     I get the following error when trying to browse a cube (ROLAP, not MOLAP) through OWB, but I'm able to pull the cube up fine using either the excel add-in or biBeans: CubeDV_OLAPSchemaConnectionException_ENT_06952???
    ---Enhancement Requests:
    1.     Add a “deploy” button in control center next to the to “default actions” and “reset actions” buttons
    2.     Allow an option to have dimensions and cube defaults set to either “deploy all”, “deploy data only”, “deploy catalog only”, “deploy aggregations” (for cubes). Also, why is the default set to “deploy data only”? Does deploying the CMW2 metadata involve huge performance impacts or something? It seems like the CMW2 is almost “free” – so it should be turned on by default. Its a pain to use the dimension wizard, but then have to go in to each dimension afterwards to set this option.
    3.     When using “configure” on dims and cubes in control center, the first time the “configuration properties” dialog pops up, everything is fine. However, when you try to configure the 2nd object, the “background focus” switches from control center back to design center. This makes navigation very slow if you have lots of items to change. I've noticed this behavior in a few other places as well.
    4.     Some dialogs do not have maximize buttons (i.e. dimension wizard dialogs), and default to a very small size. It is possible to have size of dialogs dynamically scaled to screen resolutions, and attempt to size columns so they fit properly. Or better yet, have each dialog remember how large it was last time, and automatically open up to that size?
    5.     When generating the “autobind” relational table while creating a dimension, it seems to be “randomizing” the order of the attributes within a level (although it does sort the “top level” attributes first, followed by lower level attributes), at least when using the dimension wizard. It would be nice if the attributes in the relational table came out sorted in the same order as they are specified in the attributes tab.
    6.     When using a “unmapped” display set– there doesn’t seem to be a way to refresh the set (i.e. remove the items that have since been mapped) unless you select “all” and then “unmapped” again. Would be nice if you could simply choose “unmapped” again and have it refresh the object
    7.     While doing a mapping, right click on canvas allows option to “generate”. Would be nice to also add the “validate” option to this menu
    8.     Validating mappings takes a decent amount of time – would be nice if a “busy” icon was displayed to let user know that OWB hasn’t locked up.
    9.     default size of “job details” dialog is too small, and even if I maximize I still have to go through and manually adjust the size of each pane. Similar to enhancement #4
    10.     Horizontal size of operators in mapping seems to be determined by the length of the operator name, instead of tying directly to the icon. Looks strange. Very minor
    11.     When displaying dimension objects in a mapping:
    a.     For the “surrogate key” columns – add an icon to indicate this attribute is a surrogate key. Likewise, since its not legal to map anything to this column, remove the little “arrow” next to it (the one that turns gray when something is mapped to a column), or perhaps don't even show this column at all.
    b.     For the “business key” columns – add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key (or make color different, etc.)
    12.     Similar to #11, for the cube operator in a mapping:
    a.     For the “surrogate key” columns – if they can’t be mapped to, then don’t show them
    b.     For the “business key” columns – add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key
    c.     Separate the “measure” columns from the dimension columns
    13.     For the “Aggregation” operator – can you move the “<None>” default operator to the top of the list. At the bottom, it means you always have to scroll to use the most common operations (which are at the top of the list), i.e. sum and avg, etc.
    14.     In the log on prompt, if I choose SQL*Net connection, every time I start it up it defaults to the details being shown (even when I chose no detail last time), with cursor in the “host” box. I should be able to have the details hidden, and this dialog should ALWAYS default to having the active cursor in the password box on startup
    15.     When printing in a mapping, the “page setup” print dialog is very slow. Also, the “print setup” dialog shows margins, but you can’t adjust them. It would be nice if this could be changed here
    16.     Add a “print preview” icon to all of the toolbars. Printer icon is there, print preview should also be.
    17.     In the dimension attributes, we need a way to tag an attribute as being the “insert record” date or the “update record” date. The corresponding MERGE SQL should be updated to use these attributes.
    18.     It would be nice if the mapping canvas defaulted to an unlimited size…i.e. when I want to add new operators and the screen is already full, I either need to shrink the zoom factor down to the point where I can’t read the icons anymore, or I have to pick up the new operator and “drag” at the bottom / right side until it scrolls enough to drop it where I want. If the canvas had an unlimited size, I could simple use the scroll bars to scroll to where I want.
    19.     Scroll wheel functionality to zoom in / out (and have it zoom in around the currently selected object)
    20.     Option to have operations automatically resize when longer attribute names are added to them (can workaround by mimimizing and then maximizing, but would be better to have the operators automatically adjust size to fit)
    21.     Ability to sort output attributes in an operator (just like table column sort functionality). If I create a new operator, it would be nice to group it with related operators instead of always having it at bottom.
    22.     re: column sort functionality – drag and drop instead of up/down arrows would be nice
    23.     It would be nice if, when adding output attributes to (for example) the expression operator, it would choose the default data type the same way the dimension attribute wizard works (i.e. if it sees “ind” in name, automatically choose char(1)
    24.     Change the “zoom in” button so that it zooms in on the currently selected operator – i.e. if I click on a particular table and then hit the zoom in button, it should keep the table I selected centered
    25.     When in a mapping, clicking on a line should highlight the attributes on both the source and target operators (to allow easier visual ID of where data is coming from / going to)
    26.     AWM has a feature where table attributes can be sorted so that mappings between them don't have "crossed" lines. Similar functionality in OWB would be very appreciated. It may be harder to automate this, but even manual drag and drop of attributes within an operator would be nice.

    if you could copy/paste this whole thing into the submission form (see feedback option under the numbers menu). The more people that request these features, the more likely we are to see them in an update or the next version.

  • Hierarchy table sort order no longer required in 11.1.1.3?

    Hi guys,
    I am working on loading Dimensions through EPMA interface tables. Hyperion version 11.1.1.3. The sort order for the records was not in line with the hierarchy. Still the dimension got loaded without any errors. I remember in the older versions we would have to have the records in the hierarchy table in the right order for the metadata to get loaded properly.
    Just wanted to confirm if this is a 11.1.13 version enhancement and not something that I am missing.
    Thanks.

    Hi Luc,
    I have checked our bug DB, but couldn't find any bug that would explain a change in behavior of processDatabaseChangeNotification() in 11.1.1.3
    On the contrary, we have been working on issues related to NPE during its execution recently (fix will be included in JDev 11.1.1.4.0).
    Could you create a Service Request in "My Oracle Support" and upload your sample ?
    We will have a look.
    Regards,
    Didier.

  • Please explain how to change Album sort order

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution.
    Itunes appears to be sorting my albums by year. For instance on my iPad under Dave Matthews the first album is Remember two thing from 1993.
    I want to change the album order displayed on my iPad for everything under Dave Matthews Band. How do I do this?

    Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
    I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

  • Enhancement Requests for AWM10g

    Hi, before I start in on the enhancement requests I want to say that I am pretty impressed with AWM10g. Definitely a huge step forward in creating AWs. Having said that, I think there are a few enhancements that could be done to the tool to make it even more user friendl.
    Note that these are in no particular order, just ones I came up with while using the tool. I'll add any others that I come across.
    Please don't take this as nit-picking - just trying to help make it better.
    Thanks!
    Scott
    1. On dimension hierarchy types, instead of "value based" call it a "parent / child based" (thats what everyone knows it as)
    2. When creating levels, allow more than one level to be created at a time (currently it closes the dialog after each level is created, forcing you to go back and choose "create levels" over and over again). This may be as simple as having a "Save and create another" button or something.
    3. When typing names in the "system name" boxes, it would be nice if we could simply type the descriptions using spaces, and have the system name automatically replace with an underscore. Right now its a bit tedious to remember to type all names using underscores.
    4. In "mapping" view, move HELP, APPLY, and REVERT buttons off of bottom status bar and up to the top toolbar. There is lots of unused space at the top, creating a second bar at bottom just eats up screen real estate
    5. On "create dimension" dialog, no need for an entirely separate tab for "implmentation details" (that only has two values - generate unique keys or use the existing keys). Put this on the front tab so users don't have to keep selecting over to it (unless of course there are additional values that can show up there?)
    6. Mapping dimensions with multiple hierarchy - seems odd that we have to remap shared levels. Is it possible to make this where you would map all the values in the first hierarchy, and then only map the "missing" levels in the second hierarchy? Seems like an opportunity for hosing things up
    7. Drag and drop ordering when setting up the dimensions in a cube would be nice. Interface is the same as prior version of AWM (pretty clunky)
    8. Bug - when typing in any "name" field, if you highlight the entire field and delete all characters, under the "description" fields only a single character gets deleted.
    9. When there are multiple hierarchies for a given dimension, some sort of visual indicator of which one is set as default (without having to drill into details of each one)
    10. Its difficult (impossible?) to resize panes (for instance, when doing the mapping). Seems like sometimes I click on something by accident (other than the < and > arrows) that resizes the panes, and then I can't figure out how to get them back (other than exiting and restarting)
    11. When writing template out to same name as one that exists, AWM2 is not giving a "do you want to overwrite" prompt
    12. Some sort of clear visual indicator or message when a dimension is not completely "mapped". I had a dimension where I mistakenly forgot to map the leaf level dimension member. I didn't find out about it until I ran a load and the load blew up.
    13. On the XML logging at the end of a load process, the dialog box isn't big enough to show entire error messages if they occur. Since I haven't found a way to actually write the output to a txt file, this makes it hard to debug what is wrong with a solve.

    Anthony - thanks! In the meantime, I've come up with a few more requests / suggestions (and will probably have a few more yet to come...)
    Thanks again!
    Scott
    1) Rather than just showing the "working" bar while a load / solve is going on, would it be possible to replace this with some sort of functionality that queries against the OLAPSYS.xml_load_log table? And perhaps allow the user to click "refresh" or have it auto-refresh at a certain number of minutes so that users can actually see the progress being made?
    2) Since CATALOG view is no longer available, remove the options to have AWM write the log files

  • Default photo sort order on IPhone syncing with iPhoto

    Is there any way to get the Photos app on my IPhone 4 with iOS 6 to stop displaying my photos and events with the OLDEŚT pics and events at the top - displayed first?. 
    This means I can only get to my most recent events after extensive screen scrolling through my library of 4700 photos. 
    I have iPhoto on my iMac successfully configured to show most recent events first (at the top) but when I perform an ITunes photo sync this sort order reverses !
    Apple programmers, are you listening ?

    1. No Apple programmers. Or any other Apple people are not listening. This is, as explained in the TOU you agreed to, strictly a user to user support forum. No Apple involvement
    2  you want answers about iPhoto for UOS but are posting in the iPhoto for Mac forum. Posting in the correct forum will greatly enhance your possibility of getting a correct answer
    3. I will request that you post be moved

  • HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

    Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

    Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.

  • Enhancement request:: Add audit columns during forward engineering

    How about adding a check box on forward engineering to add standard audit columns to all tables being engineered?
    User Created
    User Modified
    Date Created
    Date Modified
    We can do it today using the table template transformation but that is a manual step you have to execute after forward engineering new entities. (works well but a bit annoying to do over and over again in an iterative design approach)
    So you could basically just add the option to automatically use a template table and the current script. You might also deliver a default template table that the user can modify perhaps (then they can apply their own naming standards to the columns).
    Thanks

    Dear Kent,
    Your request will be a nice to have, I had the same need and used the table template transformation approach.
    How about allow to define Scripts in entity properties for logical model (as already exists in the table properties for relational model) that is applied when being engineering to relational. This allows to define different "templates" to apply according each entity (audit columns in transactional entities, versioning/history columns in content entities, etc. ).
    I use similar approach in the relational to DDL step using the table scripts (before create, after create,etc.) .
    Because we use an internal data dictionary framework, each table that is added need to be categorized before to be possible to create the object.
    So, this feature allow me to add in each table properties a Script "Before Creation" where an anonymous PL/SQL block is used invoke the method with classification and set this script to "Include into DDL script".Making the use of "dynamic properties", we dynamically define certain properties of categorization that will be used in the creation of script.
    So I think that the enhancement of scripts in entities + dynamic Properties (already existing) will be a interesting mix for DM empowerment.
    Thanks

  • UI Enhancement Request: Media Encoder CS4

    Assumption:
    1. I am sure some or all of what I  am about to list is already in the works, but I do not know that.
    2. This list is limited to UI and not functional elements.
    3. I have not found this type of enhancement request while searching the forum. (Didn't search really hard tho)
    Request:
    1. Skip individual element. (Functionality but needed for UI enhancement. Once tagged, it skips encoding in queue)
    2. Category/Grouping:
    --- As with a lot of lists, it is commonly found grouping of items are provided.
    --- Tab is a nice way to provide the functionality, like IE8, firefox and so on. (Default tab: "ALL", then create as needed)
    --- Drag/drop support. Drag item to tab name and it should change item to that group.
    --- Group functionality: Skip all within group, resume
    --- Property: group/category: destination directory (designate where encoded files go), color, encoding option, check box "add as skipped/paused"
    --- Add New: has option to choose group where group property brings necessary property.
    3. Estimated time for completion: when item is added to the queue. (Functionality but needed for UI enhancement.)
    4. Ordering option: move-up, move-down, sort by
    That's all for now.

    Hi,
    There is Enhancement Request on this problem created on Metalink (Bug 5571606) for about a year. It is marked as "Very desirable feature" but no info about when this desireable feature will be available. I asked Portal consultant at Oracle Services and was told, it depends on how many and how big customers would request this feature on behalf of their valid Support Contract.
    So the only way I think is to create Service Requests on Metalink asking for patch.
    I did in September 2006, what about you dear colleagues?

  • Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

    Hello,
    When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
    This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
    The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
    My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
    ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
    UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
    LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
    ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
    newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
    newListItem["Title"] = title;
    newListItem.Update();
    clientContext.Load(myList);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    The code in the webpart is this:
    SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
    Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
    {"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
    {"Title", txtTitle.Text}
    SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
    int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
    DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
    ds.Item["Title"] = title
    ds.Item.Update();
    why is the sort order wrong?
    if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
    <OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
    if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
    i don't get it....

    Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:
    Uploading documents using object model - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491(v=office.14).aspx
    Uploading documents using web services -
    http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html
    If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
    be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
    <Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

  • Enhancement Request: Viewlink based on an Association

    Hi,
    one highly repetitive task is creating associations and then creating a view link which in 99% of cases is an exact representation of the association. An enhancement that I would find useful is a create Viewlink from association context menu. Ie. right click on an Association and select "New View Link from Association". All of the relations from the association would then populate the view link properties.
    I know that these can be generated from PK/FK relations but the business components from tables doesn't allow you to specify Association, View Link names or their location, resulting in a big bucket of ADF objects all in one level (this is is probably another enhancement request).
    regards,
    Brenden

    does anyone else feel this would be of benefit?
    After months and months spent solidly developing in JDeveloper this is the single most repetitive (and trivial) task i have had to do.

Maybe you are looking for
