    SCN: Lane color by volumeDeclined

    As an end user I need a different lane color based on volume (e.g. green – orange – red), so that I can easier see what the large lanes are.I know there is the option to show Lanes by volume, and then the thickness changes.

    SCN: Clear descriptions of outputDeclined

    As an end user, I need more clear descriptions of the output tables and columns (especially in Results tab ‘Production’), so it is clear what is meant by Capacity, Volume, BOM Capacity Consumed (is it in tons, hours, etc.?).

    SCN: Always show input columnsImplemented

    As an end user I need the input columns always being shown, so I can easier change data and run scenarios.If you have not put any data in some columns (like Minimum Capacity) in the template, these columns are not shown in the input tables.

    SC Navigator: errata and improvements for the data input templateImplemented

    The file “Template SC Navigator.xlsx” would benefit from the following changes:Errata: On the [Notes] worksheet lines 36-37 are duplicates of lines 34-35 and the “Jump to Attribute” links do not work.Suggested improvements:Add an introductory worksheet to explain the color coding used on the [Notes] worksheet, the worksheet tabs, and the attribute columns on various worksheets. Add a table of contents worksheet with links to individual worksheets. This would be similar to the “Jump to Attribute” functionality on the [Notes] worksheet but would be specifically for worksheets. Lock to top row and add a filter on all worksheets. Wrap text and change column widths so that field names and descriptions have more space and can be read without having to select the cell. On the worksheets [Single Value Data], [Single Value String Data], [Settings] & [String Settings], align the entries in column A with the entries in column D. Remove extraneous blank columns like columns F:M on worksheet [Single Value Data] and columns N:P on [Periods]. Use the Outline feature to group the Attribute columns on worksheets and permit the columns to be easily hidden so the descriptions to the right can be easily read. Here is a version of the template that includes these improvements. Template SC Navigator_with ToC.xlsxHere is a version that also has macros to facilitate navigating the workbook. Template SC Navigator_with ToC.xlsm Note: The Table of Contents was created with an Excel add-in called ASAP Utilities.

    SCN: Show product name and descriptionDeclined

    It'd be convenient to have the product name ánd description in the tables. I know you can add the name in the description, but when you export the table to do some analysis you then still have to trim etc. So 2 separate columns with the name and description (if set to 1 in sheet Settings) would be perfect.

    Thousand separators for array parametersDiscussion ongoing

    For numbers parameters in array, I cannot define whether I want to use thousand comma separator or not. For currency maybe we need it but for other case, such as purchase order number, we don’t want the thousands separator. Might be good to have this option along with “decimal places” in widget properties

    Default slicer for table widgetDiscussion ongoing

    In table widget property, add option (maybe tick box) to use configuration of an identifier as default for other identifiers. So that we don’t have to define the same slice type and value repeatedly for all identifiers in a table.

    Index for contents in webui Table widgetDiscussion ongoing

    the order of the header in webui table is defined by putting the contents in desired order. Sometimes it is difficult to see the right order after moving the content up or down because there is no visible order index. Maybe it is good to have numbers index in front of each content.

    Table V2 - Specify read-only via the defaultImplemented

    Hi,Really nice that we can now specify the decimal places and read-only attribute per identifier. What I miss, however, is setting the read-only status via the defaults (like we can with decimal places and show units). Could you include this please? It would be very efficient if we can put the entire content of a table to read-only with a single setting.Thank you and regards,

    Set decimals per identifierImplemented

    It would be very useful if we could set the number of decimals per identifier in the webui tables, so we could have some columns with 0 and 2 decimals.

    Skip Cost to Serve calculationImplemented

    I'd like to have the possibility to skip the Cost to Serve calculation. In 95% of the runs I'm not interested in the Cost to Serve results, and it could take a significant amount of time (in some instances as long as the optimization). Would be great if a user could set CtS calculation On/Off in the Control Panel.

    Wrap header names in webui tableImplemented

    Can it be possible to wrap the header names in the webui tabel widget?Especially when the data itself has not that many characters, I prefer the header to be wrapped instead of making the column wider. And is it possible to turn the header direction (from top to bottom for example?

    SCN: Min/Max Constraints - Order of columnsImplemented

    As an end user I need a more intuitive order of columns in the Min/Max constraints table (same as in template sheet ‘Periods', first Min and then Max per ‘type’), so it is easier to set these constraints.

    Number of seats by user groupDeclined

    I currently have 10 seats at AIMMS PRO and 2 user groups. One of the user group need to always be able to use a seat. So, I would like to set a number of seats per group. Exemple: Group 1: 2 seats, 2 users (main planners). Group 2: 8 seats, undetermined number of users (competing for seats). Is it possible?

    Clear Filters via procedureDeclined

    A lot of times, users will add many filters to a table/widget, but they will then want to clear all filters from all widgets. It would be great to have an AIMMS procedure/function that could clear these filters via a button.

    Mark non-preferred library references directly in editorDiscussion ongoing

    Hi, the Cross Library Reference overview nicely indicates which library references are not preferred (red marking in picture). However, this feedback is now only given on request. That is: a developer/reviewer has to open the Cross Library Reference overview to see these references.It would be nice to directly get this feedback in the editor when typing the non-preferred reference.

    Upload multiple files at once (not via ZIP) / single-click upload functionImplemented

    This idea relates to the upload widget of the AIMMS WebUI. At the moment this is a double-click process. To increase user-friendliness a single-click process would be more convenient.In addition to this, files can only be selected one by one in the current feature. A nice addition would be to upload multiple files at once (not via ZIP)

    Can we please have a network object in WebUI?Implemented

    It's a pain to try to use the map widget to redneck a network object workaround. (See how in this post.) It'd sure be swell to have a network object native to WebUI. Thanks!

    Remove the need to click the upload button twice when uploading a file to webIUImplemented

    Hello!Currently, in order to upload a file to WebUI, the user first needs to click the upload button, which then opens up the file selector. Once the file is selected, the user needs to click that same button once again. Otherwise, the upoad process will not be completed.We feel that this is a counterintuitive feature, and many of our end-users have made remarks on this topic, asking if it would be possible to remove the third step. In that way, once the users select the file and click the "open" button, the file would automatically upload, removing the need to click the upload button a second time. Step 1: Click the upload buttonStep 2: select a file and click “open”Step 3 (the one we would like to remove): click the upload button once again Would that be possible?Thank you!

    Use string parameters for menu items, filters, etcImplemented

    Is it possible to use String parameters for (tab)page/menu names to make them language dependent?The language in our webui can now be switched with a checkbox (there are only two options).When we switch, we would like the following to change (dashboard →  panel) as well:We have the same question for the filter boxes (Select Location → selecione o local):And for the text of a scalar (Show this checkbox → Do not show this checkbox | sorry for the bad example):

    Use the text attribute (or similar) of an identifier to automatically set a "pretty name" in WebUIImplemented

    We can of course modify the <model name>.properties file in ~\MainProject\WebUI\resources, but as this is a feature which we probably want for all parameters shown in the WebUI, could this be made more developer-friendly? This would also resolve that we have to update the .properties file when we changed the name of an identifier. Perhaps this could even be done in such a way that we could use string parameters for this “pretty name” which allows them to change dynamically. In this case, I think we don't want to be forced to use string parameters (as this would result in a lot of additional parameters), but we should be able to also use a static string.
