Enhancement Request: iOS MultiUser Accounts

We have a single iPad in the house, but my wife and children use it as well. It would be a great feature to have separate user accounts on iOS for the iPad so that you can separate things like Mail, Calendars, Safari Bookmarks, Application Settings, etc. by user - just like OSX

I share my personal iPod/iPad with my kid, Also share my AppStore account to buy apps for my kid. Multiuser iOS will be a good solution, switch between work,home,parrent profile. Think about multi signature between personal email and work email. Personal, work, kid apps.
Multi user or multi profile iOS is priority.
What is your email signature if you replay email from your iOS device for work email, personal email, family email?
" send from my (iOS device)" that's so shame.
Did you share your "sing for kid apps" on the big screen when you doing presentation?
I want a multi user/profile. If not maybe I have to buy another iOS device and bring them every where I go hahahaha....

Enhancement Request: iOS Ability to "force" passcode lock

Passcode lock is a great feature but with limitations.
"Require Passcode" has the below options:
Immediately
After 1 minute
After 5 minutes
After 15 minutes
As a user who locks the screen frequently, I do not want to enter in my complex passcode every time I remove my iPhone from my pocket. With that in mind, I have set the "Require Passcode" to "After 15 minutes".
I would however, for security reasons, like the ability to lock the iPhone and force the "Immediately" option temporarily instead of waiting for the 15 minute interval.
There is currently (to my knowledge) no way to do this and I believe it would be a great feature enhancment to improve the useability of the iPhone.
Cheers,
Jason

It wouldn't be difficult at all actually. It's just software.
The API that is called to initiate the passcode requirement after the timer expires could alternatively be called by some other process.
Press and hold the power button for x amount of time.
or
Press and hold the power button and provide an additional "slide to secure lock" option under the current "slide to power off".
The options are endless

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

GOOD FEATURE ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Locking Projects

I have an excellent Feature Enhancement request for iLife '08 & wanted to post it somewhere in hopes it gets to the hands of the right people that can make things happen so I'm not wasting 5 minutes posting.
I (like anyone) like saving my iLife Printed Books, Calendars, etc. on my MacBook so I may always order more copies if needed. However, I fear somewhere somehow someone will be playing on my Mac & will accidentally move stuff around or even delete text / words / layouts / effects from an iLife printed project of mine which I ordered & may want to reorder years down the road.
*I'd like an advanced options area with options typically displayed in any kind of publishing software. Options in mind include "Group Objects", Ungroup Objects, Lock, Unlock, etc.*
Does anyone else here agree with me??

To add to Larry's suggestion....passwords and protected accounts are always good:
1. Put your iPhoto Library(ies) on an external drive and eject or disconnect the drive when you are not using the computer. Then, no one else can get into your projects. I have ten iPhoto Libraries on my external drive.
2. Make an iPhoto Library just for your projects and put that one on an external drive. That way, your photos are available to whoever wants to view them, but the projects library can be left alone.
3. Have you considered not letting others access your computer without your permission? If they are not responsible enough, setting up different user accounts would be the way to go. You can limit their access to your files.
If you want to suggest that Apple do something more global, feel free to make your suggestion here, as Larry recommended:

Mail enhancement request

I have submitted this before but there has been no response so ....
I would like to have "last" and "next" (forward/back arrows) in the mailbox sidebar to allow me to pop back to the mailbox I was viewing before I took a detour to look for something in a specific folder.
For those of us who have Mail windows open to more than one mail server, this would be a real convenience.
I often find I have "returned" to the wrong account and now have 2 windows open to the same IMAP server ...

Alternatively, if you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug (ER) ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Enhancement requests do seem to be worthwhile in the end...

Having requested the continuous/shuffle music video playback several times in the last 18 months or so, and urged people to do so via...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
...it has finally been implemented and I'm chuffed to bits.
Well done Apple, this is a superb enhancement though why so long to implement ?
Personally I feel this was a huge oversight for AppleTV ever since it was realeased, and seriously hindered both use of AppleTV as a media extender and obviated the point of buying music videos unless you watch them on portable devices which I don't.
I had become increasingly negative about the prospect of ever seeing this feature
appear - this cat doesn't wear a hat so I'll have to eat something else instead!
I am now likely to spend a fair amount on music videos at iTunes Store having vowed not to do so again as having to select each one manually to play was tedious to say the least.
Really baffles me how Apple have missed the opportunity for revenue from music video sales via AppleTV, particularly when iPods had the shuffle feature.
As I commented a few weeks ago I think perhaps priorities since 2.0 update have been to get the store up and running properly before implementing enhancement requests or new features.
Very pleased Apple have finally implemented this extremely useful feature, it may not be pointless in using the link above, it just takes time.
So the next thing we should do is think of things to officially lobby for in future updates.
My top 3 would be:
1 - Allowing connection via USB to rescue data from AppleTV for users who've had hard drive accidents/msihaps and haven't backed up recently - fact of life it happens even if you're careful! Files with DRM are safe from unauthorised use and those without DRM are no less secure than they were before anyway. This could even be done by only allowing AppleTV to dump media to an external USB device instead of allowing an external connection to AppleTV itself, and could be controlled from say a backup menu option. Alternatively full manual bidirectional drag and drop of media via iTunes to/from AppleTV could be implemented with a mode to prevent a new sync library connection wiping existing content.
What's in it for Apple? Huge boost in consumer confidence that Apple allow them to easily recover their personal files in the event of a problem - there should be no need to hack or dismantle AppleTV just to get at your data. Just think of all those people saying thank heaven I had an appleTV as my Macbook died and I'd forgotten to backup those wedding photos etc. We see examples of frustrated users almost daily with this problem.
2 - Additional codec support - it's all very well saying h264 is the best thing since sliced bread and the current Apple/Apple Store standard, but the limited video codec support is probably the biggest hindrance to AppleTV becoming an extremely popular media device. It has the slickest interface of commercial products but many prospective customers have files in long established older formats that are incompatible without prior time consuming and quality degrading transcoding. Locking down AppleTV in this way alienates many potential users. The argument about the source of files in other formats may have some validity, but it is not Apple's job to infer that a user's file is of dubious origin simply for not being in h264 format. I am not condoning filesharing/torrents etc merely saying that most people have older files in older formats they want to use without conversion. Many DVD players allow playback of DivX (never use it myself), and if there's a licensing issue offer playback as a per device plugin option paid for by the user in the same way the QT MPEG2 pluging is offered.
What's in it for Apple? Happy customers who would simply use something else like a PS3 to view their files and not buy AppleTV. New customers who would not have purchased otherwise. Happy customers who no longer need to trasncode files to watch. You'd be happy with being able to use older files, but would also get the benefit of using iTunes Store for new things.
The overhwelming thing would be a sense of 'fair play' gained by the consumer. For me personally since 2.0+ the device's overwhelming iTunes Store based menu design sticks in the craw and has relegated MY content to the bottom of menus. Give us the best of both worlds - an iTunes Store top level section for purchases and separate simple top level sections for combined personal/purchased media as in software 1.0/1.1. In essence declutter the menu system for playback lumping all the purchasing/preview/search options together.
3 - Tricky. Most useful would be an AppleTV SDK and 3rd party plugins/apps via iTunes paid and/or free similar to the iPhone model - I can live without widgets/visualisers/social networking plugins etc but they would be valuable to many users. As far as I know the iPhone Apps have been a huge success - no reason why not on AppleTV too, though commiting to this pathway would probably be very expensive in terms of developing a secure/sandboxed environment for running apps/plugins unless they could port the iPhone software fairly simply.
Anyhow, once again delighted Apple have added the music video feature - I will start buying music videos from iTunes music store again. Bad for my wallet but good for Apple and AppleTV. Perhaps I should be thankful and consider how much I've saved not buying music videos in the last 18 months or so.....
What would you like to see? Some things will be impossible/hardware limited, others quite feasible.
Discuss, but also use the formal feedback link to give enhancements any chance to appear!
Let's all help make AppleTV a success, and hopefully the media extender to beat!

to be honest, adding playlists (or whatever it is) for just music videos is of no use to me.
it is playlists for tv shows that i need. ie the capability of playing episode 1 to 5 of a particular season back to back.
Funny isn't it, how we all do things differently, have different preferences, enhancement wishes etc.
For me it's not really a big chore to watch an episode then to manually start the next assuming I or Mrs AC are still awake!
For episodes of short duration say 5-15 minutes I appreciate this could get annoying, and for longer episodes I suppose we are used to Play All type options on DVDs.
If these are iTunes TV Shows you're stuck at the moment, but if they're say 'home recordings converted for AppleTV' you could theoretically get round it by setting their types to Music Video. Clumsy but it should work.
I'm sure you can see the benefit of playlists/shuffling for music videos that may be 3-4 minutes each on average. I rediscovered dozens of iTunes Store music video purchases last night and thought 'yes, this is one of the big reasons why I bought AppleTV initially' - it did not say anywhere that AppleTV could not do this somewhat logical task - assumptions are dangerous though and invariably you only find out the full capabilities of products when using them.
additional codec support ? i would say there is no chance of this. x264 is pretty standard theses days (if you discount the pirate industry). x264 is even used for HD TV in the UK.
I agree, there's more chance of Tony Blair making a comeback!
Piracy is rife and I do not support it.
My views on fair use of media you personally own are quite different.
It's not the codec/container that's the issue it's how the material was acquired in the first place - it may simply be your home videos, digitised off-air recordings etc that is in a 'legacy' format that you don't want to transcode. We know from the modders that most other SD formats are playable on the current hardware so that's not the issue.
Take say an Elgato EyeTV device - I can record anything off-air, edit and transcode for AppleTV or just transcode unedited automatically. How much more sensible it woudl be if AppleTv simply supported the MPEG-2 transport stream playback rather than wasting time and computing/power resources doing the transcode.
I have some some standard video-CDs I made on a PC in the late 1990's, how nice it would be to be able to play the MPEG-1 content back without fiddling - it's not as though converting to h264 will do anything for the quality!

Looking for someone with ios developer account who can compile and test my app on ios 8

Hi,
my ios developer account expired.
Before I renew it i want to be sure that my app will still run on ios 8
It's a flex app , downloadable on google code : Source Checkout - helpdiabetes-air - HelpDiabetes written for Adobe AIR - Google Project Hosting
So i'm looking for some one with flash builder installed, with the latest flex sdk (4.13) , an ios developer account and a device with ios 8, who wants to build and install the app for me.
See if it runs.
thanks,
Johan

I have to say this is the hardest thing to diagnose that I have come up against over the past 10 years! Completely out of ideas.
If this was just the Intuos3 with the mouse on my G5 then I would just say it is a bad mouse switch, but when a different mouse on two different tablets (Intuos 2 and Intuos3) are both exhibiting the same behavior on two different computers (a G4 Laptop and a G5 Tower) - then something is wrong.
The only other thing I have done to both computers recently is I installed Adobe CS3. Have any of you that have responded also installed CS3?
This is not a Wacom Driver issue, because if you plug in a tablet without the Wacom Driver installed, the mouse should still work like a standard mouse and I am having trouble even then. Even during a restart of the computer as soon as the Wacom tablet blue light comes on - even before the desktop appears, if I hold down the mouse button the tablet will irratically flicker between blue (receiving power from USB) to green (mouse button engaged)? (Again it does not do this with the Pen - it always works fine - just any Wacom mouse).
If it were a USB power issue the tablet light would go off and on, but it doesn't - one of the LEDs is always lit. If it were a tablet grid issue, the Pen would also display the same symptoms - it doesn't. It acts like the mouse does not have enough "consistent power" output to keep the grid engaged when activated which would be easily explained by a bad mouse switch or for sure if the mouse had a bad battery, but I don't think the mouse has a battery does it? And none of this explains why I am getting this on two tablets with two mice (unless the mouse actually does have a battery and both are bad)?
Anyway I am 95% sure this is a communication problem between the mouse and the tablet - not the tablet and the computer and Driver is not in the equation.
Really stumped.

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.

Payment request for GL account

Hi All,
I'm using SAP ECC.6.
I want to create payment request for GL account, e.g expense accounts.
I try to use FIBLFFP, but it only allows me to create payment request for 1 GL at one time. My requirement is to have multiple GL account in 1 request.
For example, we have F-47 to create down payment request for vendor, which is also can be more than 1 line per entry.
Is there any idea how to do this for GL accounts ?
Thanks.

Hi,
The reason why I need this payment request for GL account is for the adhoc payment we paid to the people name or a company name without an invoice issue to us.
We cannot be always create a new vendor for all this type of adhoc request.
We also can't post to one-time vendor becasue no invoice involve.
Is something like expenses claim but this guy is not our employee.
The name on the payment voucher could be a merchandiser or dealer who claim the expenses from us.
Any respond ?

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

Enhancement request: Remote interface java file generation

Problem:
In release 9.0.3, If you want to write a method that is suppossed to be exposed in the remote interface, you have to first right click on the ejb-jar.xml's appropriate EJB name node and then add the method, specify the argument types (say about 25 in number in a small width textbox), return type, etc and check the check box 'Expose in remote interface'. Then only remote interface's java source gets updated and only after doing all this can you actually sit down to write the business logic in that method. If you first code the method and then try to add the same, it gives an error saying "duplicate method exists"
Suggestion:
The similiar feature in release 9.0.2 was much better and flexible as it allowed the generation of remote interface source after coding the actual method in the EJB source. You can first write the method and then expose it in the interface by just choosing it from a method browser and opting for exposing it in the remote interface. You donot have to write the name and number of arguments like we have to currently do in the 9.0.3 release.
(1) Actually, all public methods in the EJB source should by default be exposed in the remote interface because EJB are supposed to be used by other EJBs and JSPs only and all methods that are public but not exposed in the remote interface should actually be private or protected.
(2) Leave it up to the developer to edit the remote interface
(3) When the EJB source file is changed (public methods changed) compiled the remote interface should also be updated automatically. Why? already you have provision to change the remote interface source, so just dump all the public methods in the remote interface source when the EJB source is compiled.
(4) Ditto for EJB Homes
(5) Actually whenever the developer changes and compiles the EJB source, the remote and home source should automatically be updated AND COMPILED. (Refer: Pramati Studio 3.0 SP3 :- URL: www.pramati.com )
I was very happy with the earlier option. If anybody other then the JDeveloper Team finds this interesting, please respond. A suite like developer should be more User-friendly.
And yes expect more like this from me in the future

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for the quick response. This flexiblity in Remote interface generation and choice of methods in it at any given point in the development cycle is very much desired feature.
The other thing I would like to suggest is you look at another enhancement request in my name regarding batch updates of the "web.xml" file. You will find the thread updated today i.e. on 15th September with a reply
I will shortly post one more for lack of modularity in EJB components descriptors.
My Company Four Soft Pvt. Ltd. (www.four-soft.com) is Oracle's development partner and we use and support Oracle products. They are good but naturally we would like them to be better and more User-friendly.
Thanks once again.

Can I use a different id (email) for my iOS Developer account than my iTunes account?

Hello,
I am an iPhone and iPad app developer. I have a customer that would like to submit apps on their account. the problem is, they would like the iOS account to not be linked to their regular iTunes account, where they download all their music,etc.
Should I advise them to create a seaparate account with a different emaiul address? OR, is it possible to have an iOS developer account with different credentials.
I believe my customer already set up their iOS account, paid 99.00, and now realizes thay don'w want the accounts linked.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Phil

Yeah. I don't think that is possible. I know you can have seperate user accounts on 1 computer. But the data from each would be different.

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 didnt 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 doesnt 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 hasnt 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 cant be mapped to, then dont 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 cant 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 sizei.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 cant 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.
