Hi, a couple of ideas that could be super useful when using the design graph in web -
1) When viewing a design graph there is a section called 'connects to' that shows linked designs, attributes and interfaces connected to that design.
It would be helpful if dependant workflows were also visible, preferably as a new section added to the bottom under 'parents' called 'workflows' which displayed the designs and their linked workflows in the same way as the 'connects to' section does with linked designs (please see image 'workflow idea').
2) In the same vein, it would also be very helpful if (when linking designs in the 'connects to' part of the design graph) it were possible to have greater control of how one design links to another and to be able to filter based on attributes within a design.
Say for example I needed to link a list of team members to a design, but only wanted certain team members, or members of certain teams, to be able to be selected as options on the drop-down for that specific design, it would be great if when linking them you could do an AQS query or a parameter or something to filter the list of team members based on an attribute so only the appropriate people appear in the list? I can think of many scenarios where this would be a really useful feature, enabling only appropriate items from certain universal lists to be available in specific designs and not available in others.
Hi Tom, thanks for the idea, with your first point, we've reviewed it and it may be something we look at implementing in the future. With your second point, this should be achievable through Item Forms which we are currently working on. You wouldn't set the AQS filter on the specific design but instead use AQS filters on the form controls themselves.
