Viewer Builder

We now have the Editor Builder which is a good way of letting people update the metamodel without having the navigate the back end.

Application Dashboard

It would be useful if we were able to drill into the pie charts on the Application Dashboard. The summary views are great and like the fact that the applications are all listed down the left with the ability to look at the app and what categories the app falls into. Also like the fact that it simple...

Re: Add 'Known Issues' tab to application editor

Hi John

You can create a custom editor using the Editor Builder editor. Easy enough to add additional Panels or Tabs. Could be worth creating Issue editor as well to let users create / edit them first and then go into the App Editor (custom one you created) to create the relationship between them

Business Glossary

It would be good to have a basic business glossary within Essential

Something as simple as term and description that is presented in a catalogue would be handy

Re: Recording SLAs

Hi Jason

Thanks for the reply

That sounds exactly what we would like - I was being very simplistic in my example. Would definitely give this a big +1

No Strategic Plan Catalogue

I might be missing something, but I cannot see a Strategic Plan Catalogue showing a list of all strategic plans. There is a Strategic Plan Summary report under Technology but that does not work as you are not given a chance to select the strategic plan you want a summary of first so details are all ...

Contract currency showing in $ not £

Hi

We are using Essential to record and manage our suppliers and contracts. I have added a contract and specified the CCR Currency as British Pound (see Capture1 attached) yet it is showing as $ in the Supplier Contract Management view (see Capture2 attached)

How do we change the label in the view?
