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. Would be great to have a Viewer Builder to allow us to simply create views from scratch or from using existing views with a few alterations. The out of the box views ar...

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

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

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 ...

We are trying to map activity within a project so that we can see this on a roadmap. Problem is that Project Activity does not appear in any of the Project related views / reports. Is this by design? Should we be creating activity as separate projects that are linked back to a parent project? Is the...

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?
