Missing features in UCM for decision making based on cost vs needs

Hi Experts,
I understand that UCM is a component in ECM. However what I'd like to know and can't seem to find anywhere is a summary or explanation on missing core features of UCM that can be found in IPM, URM and IRM. For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCM.
I need to know briefly (high level, mid level if it is necessary) on the missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URM so I can decide on going between ECM or UCM, taking cost into factor. FYI I will be having WebCenter too and future add on will be BPM suite.
Thank you,
bav

bav,
first, let me correct few things in your statements:
I understand that UCM is a component in ECMECM (Suite) is a suite of products, one of which is UCM.
Since 11g, IPM and URM have been re-written so that they have UCM as its foundation (document storage). URM was UCM-like even in 10g, IPM was quite different.
IRM is a completely different application, which can serve as a security add-on regardless the document storage.
For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCMWhere have you found that? DAM is certainly a UCM feature (can't imagine correlation to Records Management, if there is some, it is with Web Content Management).
I guess you have seen that both URM and UCM both contain Record Management - in a nutshell, UCM's RM can be used for simpler scenarios (sometimes referred to as 'retention management'), whilst URM is necessary for formal records management scenarios - compliance to legislative norms, such as DoD 5015.2 or MoReq2. URM also contains Physical Content Management.
missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URMFor URM, I believe, to get a high level info is enough what I've written above.
For IPM, see this post: Re: Difference between UCM and IPM
For IRM: as I have written, it is a completely different cup of tea - in a nutshell, IRM allows so-called 'sealing' of documents. E.g. rather than having a Microsoft Word file (.doc), you will have encrypted file (.sdoc - 'sealed' .doc), which a user can open only if he or she is authorized to do so. Whilst security in UCM/URM/IPM restricts users from having access to documents (or search for them), IRM restricts reading the document once you have it. It can also restrict other operations like print, copy from the document (even to screenshot), prevent untracked changes, etc.
I hope it will give you some initial insight.

Missing features on iPhoto for iOS 7

After the announcement of redesigned apple apps, I immediately downloaded the new iPhoto for iOS.
Aesthetically, this new iphoto is more clutter free than the previous version. However, a lot of very important features on the previos version is missing.
1. Creating facebook folder within the app is missing
2. Tagging people within the app and the option to tag them in all photos to be uploaded
3. Creating description within the app
4. Batch uploads are now limited to 10
A lot of users are using iPhoto because of these featured aside from it's editing prowess. So please Apple! Add these missing features again!

Hi..
This is a user to user forum.
You can send feedback direcly to Apple using this link > Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

Best coverflow and missing feature alternative solutions for all platforms.

Personally for me coverflow was a important feature. Not JUST a feature but what really defined iTunes as BEING iTunes.
I would have actually loved if apple instead of removing it expanded on it and made it faster,better,stronger. With things like back label support so on and so forth.
I'd like the communities thoughts on some of the best alternatives for the missing coverflow & other features currently left out of iTunes 11 on both Mac and Windows.
Also, If there is a way to link(link up) any of those to iTunes 11 for track and volume control. Ideally for not just sending but also receiving track and volume input.
And whats the absolute BEST solution for each platform. I understand running iTunes 10.7 or 11 sandboxed or on another machine may also be an option.
So.. lets look at things like resource usage Vs usability...
For me CAD (CD Art Display) has always been helpful especially combined with raindrop even tho it doesn't have flow options for the most part on 99% of themes. It still makes my library pop.
Looks like there are 3 options for Mac
Steel Sky (SteelSkies)
Everplay
CoverStream
Its worth noting Everplay has Last.FM support. Not sure if that can be integrated into iTunes 11 somehow.
For windows the only thing i could find remotely like coverflow is a widget called XDeskCover
To mods:
Please stop deleting my posts. If you want to take the time to completely remove a feature from a program atleast let us explore some alternatives so we can continue actually using apple products.

another method suggested in these forums in the post "session manager stopped working with firefox 3" by Charles Anderson works for me and allows me to use my little X.
go to options -> General tab
under startup/when firefox starts -> change to something other than "show my windows and tabs from last time".
I've had this on show my homepage previous and it got changed somewhere and I think it was from an update or addon which is why a few others are having the same issue.

List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

hello everyone,
I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
2. merged clips should be more flexible,
- it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
- replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
bugs that need to be fix:
- audio dropouts!
Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

iMac Mac OS X (10.3.6)

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!

I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 - (2) G4 Powerbooks, A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.

Missing Features Issue for custom upgraded solutions

I have restored SharePoint 2010 database for migration and upgraded all my custom solutions to SharePoint 2013 using visual studio 2013 and deployed it successfully on SP2013 environment, but when I run
Test-SPContentDatabase command it is giving feature missing as well as Setup file missing errors for all custom upgraded solutions.
Interestingly the SP2010 WSPs that I don't have code for and I want them to run in SP2010 mode works fine and does not appear in missing feature list once deployed to SP2013.
I also have verified that the custom upgraded features and web parts are available for other test application in SharePoint 2013.
can anyone help why the Test-SPContentDatabase is giving Missing Feature error for upgraded custom solutions.

Hi - From the list of missing features returned by test-spcontentdatabase, can you try to find out whether they exist in far...get-spfeature powershell....

Looking for a web based filemanager (or similar).

Hello,
I have a small server at home hosting all my files and I am looking for a simple setup to be able to access these files from pretty much every where.
Usually I'm using ssh or sftp but the thought of being able to access the files through a web interface is really sounding good. So, I have been searching for a web based file manager and found a few, but none that really made me go wow.
The best so far is probably Ajaxplorer. One thing that I'm looking for though is a PAM authentication feature which Ajaxplorer doesn't have. Are there any web based file managers around that supports this?
Or... maybe I'm looking for the wrong things. Are there other nifty solutions available for accessing files on a remote folder through a web interface?

zenlord wrote:
If PAM authentication is all you're missing, why don't you setup http_auth?
THX for the suggestion, I was looking for something like this myself and the next version should have LDAP_auth - alrighty then!
Zl.
http_auth... do you have any nice links on how to use it? I've never heard of it
Ajaxplorer is quite nice after all and setting up repositories isn't all that bad. Looks like I'm sticking to it while I continue my search for another app.

How to have decision making in UWL?

Hi All,
I have a customized subview which provides me the required tasks and for the same I have added two more columns for Approval and Rejection which are basically checkboxes.
I have a Submit button as well. Based on the selection of the check boxes I have to perform some action on click of the submit button.
Currently I am getting an error "This action is not valid for this item".And thus I am not able to achieve the requirement of decision making.
I request you all to share your experience so that I can proceed.

Hi.
If I understand it correctly, the user will either perform the Accept action, or the Reject action.
So why dont you use a radio button group, instead of checkboxes. the given error will not occur.
With checkboxes, you will have 4 altenatives, not two.
Another alternative is using two buttons, which is also used in the workflow scenario. But this option depends on how you have planned your event handling.

Where are the many missing features in Numbers found?

The more that I use Numbers the less likely that I will ever go through the motions of trying to get Numbers to do enough of the things that have to be done in order for my income tax program to work. Like in another post I have some of my smaller tax forms to say that they are too big to be imported. There seems to be too many missing features to do a useful job.
This leaves trying to use Numbers to handle new small, small, small spreadsheets. At the present times I have little problem setting up a format for a cell providing the formatting is available. In Excel the easiest way to copy a format to a new cell is to use format painter. Many time copy/paste will work. But copy/paste will move the formula also. I have not been able to find a way to do this with Numbers.
So far the sliders feature is the one feature that interests me enough to try to use Numbers in the real work handling portion of my business. Many things I want to do either I can't find out how to do them or there are too many added keystrokes needed compared to Excel to make me want to do a spreadsheet in Numbers.
Since the majority of my spreadsheets do not use a header row or header column I have to get that turned off. Tax sheets have a lot of blank spaces to start things out & normally will be different than the next sheet.
I used a lot of cell/range names as well as individual cells. I use 450+ cell names in my main Form 1040, A,B,D,NE,IA page. That still leaves me needing to know the row/column designation most of the time. I cannot find where that information is displayed in Numbers.
I keep looking, but generally do not find the needed feature that I need. Many like the cell designation is so basic. Being able to use the arrow keys to move to a cell for inclusion in a formula is another one that I am unable to do. Using the help files do not come close to answering any question that I have with Numbers. Where is the Numbers, "Missing Manual?" I need what I don't have & may not be made at the current time.
Like Pages 1.0, Numbers 1.0 doesn’t seem ready for prime time use. There are too many missing features be a very complete spreadsheet. Some I probably can’t find, some probably are not there.
I need help.

Missing features - when to expect them

I bought my Nokia Lumia 620 a few weeks ago and have been struggling to get it to do what I need. I've been looking online but I haven't found a solution/answer to my doubts. Maybe somebody here knows:
Although the Lumia's calendar is compact, it does not come with a weekly overview. It only shows a daily or monthly view. Can a weekly overview be activated/added?
Is there a way to search your text messages? If possible I'd like to look for key words/phrases, but I'd be happy with just searching for contacts. Now you get an endless list of text messages and you need to scroll and search manually.
Is there a way to send multiple attachments (that are not photos) in an e-mail. If you use the built-in e-mail application you can only send photos. The Office application allows you to send documents from Skydrive, but only one at a time...
I've read that there are (paid) third-party apps to overcome some of these problems, but not all. As a professional user of Office and other Microsoft software I was expecting something more from the productivity features of this phone. Or am I missing something?

Hi there,
I can certainly see the attachments issue being a bit of a pain if you need to send multiple non-image attachments on a regular basis. Perhaps a query for this area?:
http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
Ditto for the message search feature.
As for the calendar, I have to admit that the built-in app isn't much good. I much prefer a paid app called "Week View 8". It's money well spent given its flexibility and features. Run a search for it in the app store.

Missing features

I'm delighted with many aspects of iPhone, but there are several "missing features":
1 - There is no <Find> or <Search> function at all. Being used to Spotlight on Mac OSX, I expected to be able to search for keywords in text messages, contacts, notes, etc etc etc. This is a grave omission and reduces the functionality of iPhone for me. Let's say I'm looking for an electrician, and I know I have someone in my contacts, but can't remember his name. I should be able to hit <Find> and type in "electrician" - which would deliver a list of contacts and notes containing that word.
2 - There is no way to send a Contact to another phone via Bluetooth or Text message. Every other phone I've ever had (from some really old Nokia phones to the latest Sony Ericsson) had this function. You could select a contact, then open a menu and choose "send as...", and then select how to send the info, either via Bluetooth or Infrared (if applicable) or simply via SMS to another person's phone. This is VERY restrictive.
3 - As a Mac user, I am used to contextual menus everywhere. Hold <ctrl> and click and you get lots of options wjich relate to whatever you are doing. There are no menus at all on iPhone. I'm sure this was intentional, but it would really be useful to have menus in many areas. For example, to send a contact as noted in my point 2 above. Or to re-name a pin in Maps.
4 - What about being able to copy and paste text? I can't believe this is not available. It ties in with my suggestion above for contextual menus. We really need more functionality on the iPhone
I do LOVE the phone and find the whole experience captivating, fun and intuitive. However, the missing features noted above really sour the experience.

Missing features in Audition CS5.5

Ok, I have been playing around intensively with Audition CS5.5 for a few weeks now. Aside from the thing that SES to SESX import did not work natively (thanks Todd, for giving me the link, although I do think that it should have been included in the software in the first place), there are some other things that bug me.
Here's my top 4 (in order of personal importance):
1. GROUP CLIPS
This feature is missing. If you're working on a mix, you need to be able to move parts quickly, not risking screwing up parts that are OK. Manually selecting all clips and then moving them is timewise not very efficient. IMHO, we really shouldn't have to wait until CS6 for this feature to return...
2. LAYOUT
I keep hitting the vertical zoom sign whenever I want to zoom in horizontally. I use horizontal zooming much more than vertical. Of course you can use the + or - signs on the keyboard, but I find myself hitting the on-screen button time and again. In Au 3 they were in the "correct" position. And there's no way of adjusting the workspace so that I can place the buttons where I like them to be. I am so used to this on-screen layout, that I think it will take a long time to adjust to this.
3. CLIP TIME STRETCH
You can't drag clips to stretch them to a desired length. You do have an improved dialog for Strecth and Pitch (which I like), but you can't do it visually on the timeline.
4. PRE-LISTEN TRACKS
I Au 3 you could quickly sort through multiple effect tracks by pre-listening them using Auto-play in the import dialog to find that right type of swoosh you need from your sound collection. Now you can't, or you have to rely on Adobe Bridge.
I know that the Adobe Bug Report / Feature Request form is the best way to submit these (and I frequently use that), but I'm also curious if other sound editors deal with the same problems.

I believe no one has responded to the original post because all of these topics have been discussed in other threads since Audition CS 5.5 was released. We absolutely appreciate knowing which missing features are most important to our users so that we can place priority toward implementing them. While I can't divulge what features will be in Audition CS 6 at this time, I think it's safe to say that most of these requests will be satisfied.
Regarding the layout of the Zoom buttons, it is possible to display these buttons both within the standard Editor panel (the default view) and as a separate panel which can be positioned as you like. Click Window > Zoom in the menu bar to open this panel.

Missing Features in BT Cloud

The thread is intended to keep together a list of BT Cloud features that people would like but that are not present. It is sometimes difficult to keep buts and missing features apart; if posting please try to keep to the 'missing features' subject. While I can, I will edit this first post rather than adding extra posts as I add extra comments.
BT Cloud is a new service (or a new interface to an old service) so has many missing features; with luck if we record these the team will try to get them added at some point. I have found them very responsive on the issues with speed (even though they haven't yet managed to resolve them), and I hope they will be equally responsive here.
~~~~~~~~
Sharing of directories
I can share files but not directories. On the Windows GUI, 'Share' is greyed out when a directory is selected. On the web GUI, you can select 'Share', but all the options are then greyed out except 'Show Sharing History'
~~~~~~~~~
Multi-select
Normal multi-select options don't work in either GUI.
Expect shift-click to select a range of files/directories.
Expect ctrl-a to select all.
etc.
~~~~~~~~~~
Not enough control of when backup happens
No control to prevent BT Cloud starting when computer starts
Also, it starts instances for ALL users ~ in many cases backup will only be required from one 'main' user.
No pause button to pause backup
No exit button to stop backup altogether
Correction: these buttons do exist, but are in a completely non-conventional place,
after clicking left button on the notification icon a secondary (nonstandard) pair of icons comes up,
if you right-click on the left of these you get a useful menu with pause, exit and help.
These should all appear on a right button click of the notification icon,
and help should be available from the main screen as a button or by hitting F1.
~~~~~~~~~~
Backup of folders from network drive
Don't seem to be able to select folders from a network drive to back up.
Dones not work using either network drive directly, or via mapped drive letter.

Easy backup of music files from android
This is available on Windows, and can be done manually on android, but esasier interface needed on Android

You will have to disregard my previous comments. It seems that when I tried to use the BT Cloud app for the first time it had not set up fully. There was no access to the help pages.
A section by section read through the instructions shows that most features in my listing are there. Even a pause feature, and of course, being able to quit the app..
For every day use the app seems to be fully effective.
Other users with more advanced demands may find some problems.
The demands on the Windows 7 operating system are low, using little processing time and only a minor RAM usage.
