    Create bookmarks using keywordsDiscussion ongoing

    Would be great to have a way to create bookmarks using keywords. E.g. Writing something like !@TODO to automatically create them under the TODO bookmark section, but I guess we right now we have to right-click and create them each manually?

    Table properties windowDeclined

    The table properties window on data pages in the developer version is small and the size not adjustable, this is annoying in many cases. Can the window be made resizable?

    Have Both Model Debugger And Model Profiler working at the same timeDeclined

    Right now you cannot have both the model debugger and model profiler active that the same time. However this can be very useful for development Especially when testing complex database read/write strauctures

    WebUI help in productImplemented

    A recent map widget feature got us wondering with AIMMS User support, if AIMMS community would be benefit from a help-in-product feature. This feature would directly link widget options in WebUI to its corresponding documentation, through a tooltip (for example) “As a developer, and end user (role) I need the easiest accessible docs (functionality) , so I can develop much faster, and/or use the full scope of AIMMS widgets (goal) .” It could look like what we do see in Gitlab, for instance:   This would also help us to be more consistent in our documentation generation at AIMMS.   Please tell us what you think, and also suggest what would be your dream !  Would this feature make your life easier ? If yes, how much ?.. :)

    Hyperlink to specific page in the ‘latest’ versionDeclined

    An AIMMS partner was interested in such a feature. And we wanted to hear from the community! Current possibilities: we can create a link to the latest home, and we can create a link to a specific page using the version number.End goal: to create a hiperlink to a specific page and also to the 'latest' version. What do you think?

    Requesting a guaranteed/default number of ticks on the x-axisImplemented

     In the graph below there are apparently too many values in the graph to show the corresponding xticks properly, so AIMMS hides them. Instead, I would expect that the scaling is adjusted and I would see fewer x ticks, but at least the minimum and maximum and some ticks in between. So can the default x ticks be such that something reasonable is shown instead of no ticks at all?

    Is there a workaround for plotting "area" on a line graph?Implemented

    While converting a WinUI to a WebUI I have run into a line graph with an area shaded. That's a nice little option in WinUI, however if it's available in WebUI at this point I can't find it. Is it available? And if not, do you have a recommended workaround in the meantime? Thanks!

    "Filter" display set labels Linechart via elementtextidentifierImplemented

    Hi,   I have a line chart in where we show stock levels per day. For example for a period of 3 months ( 90 days, in a widget with column width 7. However, in the WebUI, the labels on the x-axis are empty:   Toggle full-screen gives the following result:   So I was thinking, let’s use a elementtextidentifier to only show a few of the items to make it less crowded. I created a string parameter for the set on the x-axis and only filled the first day of the week. However, all the empty values where filled with the original values. Therefore I added empty strings (“ “) to the rest of the days in a week. Which works in the “full screen mode” but not on the original page: Full screen:   On the original page I would like to show the same layout as in the last full-screen screen, is this possible?

    Requesting a secondary axis on the line chartImplemented

    I'm requesting a secondary axis on the line chart. Here is why: We have encountered a number of situations where we want to put two different types of data in one linechart. It is desired to combine the two types of data to see how they interact, but often they have a different scale or unit of measurement. For example, the image below shows some value and is cumulative. If we show the true cumulative (which runs from 0 to 100), the light blue curve would look like a flat line close to 0. As a work around we re-scale the cumulative value to create a nice picture, but now the y-axis makes no sense for the dark blue line. Although we can clarify much via tooltips, it’s not ideal. Therefore, having a secondary axis would be a great solution.    Light blue some value, Dark blue the cumulative of the value

    Requesting a 'in widget' legend for the line chartImplemented

    To be able to clarify the user what is being displayed in the line chart, I would like to display a legend within the line chart. Something like this: Be able to put a legend in the line chart widgetNote: I realize this post is similar to: https://community.aimms.com/aimms-developer-12/how-can-i-show-the-legend-on-a-webui-linechart-263 . But in that post, the solution suggested is to create a separate legend widget and style it through css. We choose not to apply that solution/work-around, because is will clutter the look and feel of the page too much.

    Requesting a label on the y-axis of a linechartImplemented

    We would like to put a label on the y-axis of a line chart to let the user know what he/she is looking at. A name and unit of measurement on the y-axis is at least good practice, but perhaps even a must have. As far as I can see this is not possible yet. Am I missing something? If it's not possible, then please consider this as a feature request.

    Will there be a possibility to auto expand secondary page actions?On Backlog

    Could it be possible to auto-expand the secondary page actions, preferably without the 'hamburger' menu, if it is just 2 secondary actions? A bit more background on why we would want this: When redesigning an app, we found that we would like to have 3 actions on all pages (Optimize, save and help), of which I agree that one should be the 'primary' action, the most visible and easy to go to action (for us 'Optimize'). But the 'save' action is also very important and because we also have the 'help' action, this disappears behind the 'hamburger' menu. But when it is just 2 extra actions, I don't think it would be too much on the page (with 5 actions or so, I would argue that it is too much). It would then look something like this:

    Changing text sizes, bold/italic/ colors dynamicallyImplemented

    I’m looking for a widget in where you can change text sizes / colors etc.  The text widget is perfect for doing this. However, when the application is opened via PRO, the user is not able to change anything in this widget. So I tried a scalar widget, there it is possible to change the text but the styling of the widget is fixed. I would be happy if; It is possible to change the styling of the scalar widget it is possible to change the text widget in the pro environment The reason for this request is that the customer is showing the tool during a meeting and he wants to add key notes to the pages.

    The need for internet connection while running AIMMSImplemented

    Hi AIMMSians, The last update on academic license delivery came with great features. However, I started to have some problems with the Internet connectivity condition. My runs usually take few hours, sometimes even a day. During these long runs, sometimes my internet connection drops for a minute, cause I have a weak wifi. If this happens when the solves is finished, I can see the error window and click on reconnect. But, when it is solving, then AIMMS just halts at the middle of the solve and exits without asking. This issue was dragging my work and my colleagues for the past two weeks.  I understand that you would like to tighten your academic license policy, but I suggest to keep the internet connection requirement to a longer frequency (e.g. weekly).  Please let me know if there is an other idea or workaround to resolve this issue.

Tried with simple text and in HTML format too.   Thanks,  Bogi

    WebUI larger dialog pagesImplemented

    I would like to be able to make larger dialog pages than is currently possible in the AIMMS WebUI. One use case as an example: Currently I'm working on Schedule Compare functionality, that (ideally) would be an overlay screen on top of the current Gantt Chart page. The overlay would then contain 2 Gantt Charts (before and after, so to say). Unfortunately the largest available dialog page is too small to properly show 2 Gantt Charts.

    WebUI unintuitive scrolling behaviourDeclined

    Hi, I received some feedback from a customer regarding the scrolling in WebUI pages. Unintuitive from page perspective To scroll up/down on a page, the user has to move the mouse to: An empty spot (without widget) A spot that contains table row headers (the rowheader-viewport) Users expect to also be able to page-scroll when the mouse is positioned on the grid-viewport of a table, especially when the table doesn’t require scrollbars. Unintuitive from table widget perspective To scroll up/down in a table, this is only possible with the cursor in the grid-viewport. Users expect that it’s also possible to table-scroll when the mouse is in the rowheader-viewport. Proposal (what I think would be intuitive) When the cursor is in a table, scrolling takes place in the table. It doesn’t matter whether the cursor is located in the rowheader or the grid viewport. When it is not possible to scroll further in the table (because the top or bottom is reached), continue with scrolling on page level. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Best regards, Sander

    WebUI Gantt Chart wish: deselect tasks by clicking in white areaOn Backlog

    Hi, Currently, it is only possible to deselect a gantt task by clicking on that exact same task again. Several users of my apps don’t find this intuitive, and I agree with them. Could you adjust the gantt chart such that clicking anywhere in the Gantt Chart grid (white area without tasks) will deselect the task? Best regards, Sander
