I have a process A and process B in my model and I want to run in a manner that as soon as process A is complete, Process B should start…
Mouseover Hover Text for Model Builders
I think it would be helpful to model builders if there was a hover over option to display the text of a particular element. There are instances where the description is cut off for certain display elements and there is no option to resize columns for that element (I see this most frequently in the Module Blueprint and Data…

Allow column Formatting on Lists Grid View
Lists with multiple subsets (having long SS names) become confusing in grid view where columns only show partial names in headers. There should be an option to format columns similar to modules to increase column width etc.
Can you link to a specific record on a new UX page
I have a list of projects and i have a line item that is a link to the project page, but would like to go to the specific project they are clicking on. The html for the page is the same no matter what the item, but can you add a tag to the html at all, like you can in other apps?
Expand "Tree View" for Lists beyond 1,000 items
Lists automatically convert from "Tree View" to "Grid View" once the 1,000 item limitation is reached. In my opinion, the Tree View is much more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate, particularly as the data set gets larger. It would be great if the Tree View was maintained for an infinite amount of items (or at…
Add List Search Option while create module and Import from Existing Model
Hi Team, If we provide a search option to select a list when creating a new module, it helps model builders select the required list. Similarly, if we provide a search option to select the source for any import from existing model views or lists, it also helps model builders.

Drag & Drop Manage Views
The current process for managing saved views for modules is a bit time consuming. If you have a lot of saved views for a module and you need to sort them out. You need to click each saved view and either click "Move Up" or "Move Down", then it would still take time for the system to refresh. So imagine if you have 10 or…

More descriptive history entries for Blank Model Changes
Model history can contain entries saying "Blank Model Change", which can occur for example when changing the SSO access of a user. These could be more informative so we can understand what the change was. Another example - if you are setting a users access, it is usual to copy another users access by selecting an entire…
Waking up the model with Cloudworks
Hi everyone, As you know, initializing the model (moving it from disk to memory) can take a while, especially for the larges ones. This can be quite painful for the first users of the day, or for the first one to connect after lunchbreak. I don't find precise or recent informations about it, so here are my two questions:…
Additional modes for Formula Scope
Whilst the current method for formula scope encompasses the existing options (Actual, All Versions, All Versions Except Actual and Current), there is sometimes a need for formula scope to be applicable to specific versions outside of this scope - For instance, side loading of a budget. Whilst Add Version Formula covers…

Weirdly I noticed that it doesn't open the list/module/db etc. if you click on the name (text area) but works if you click…
Referenced by for filters
I would like to see details of whether a module or line item is actively in use as a filter. When a line item is referenced by a formula elsewhere the target line item is displayed in the reference by column. Can this be replicated for line items which are used in all types of filter? This will help significant when…
Variance module using item subsets
Good morning team. I have a labour model that I am looking to add a variance module to and need some assistance understanding my options. As we have a number of different versions, using native versions for the variance is inefficient and will cause the model to grow much larger than required. The planning module currently…
