Enhancements to the T2P Tool
After our first experience with the new T2P tool, we would like to suggest the implementation of the following enhancements:
- Pagination in "Changes Logged Against This Project"
The current page to view, select and manage the changes lacks pagination. This makes navigating large sets of changes difficult, especially when we need to manually select or unselect hundreds of changes.
Pagination would significantly improve usability and efficiency.
- Promoted indicator should be tied to ENVIRONMENT
We have noted several that the current behaviour is not ideal. The main suggestions would be:
--> The Promoted field should reflect the status of that change in regards to the environment to which could be exported. If a T2P project can promote changes to TEST and LIVE, for example, the field should reflect whether the specific change has been promoted to the environment to which the export would be made to.
--> Though not consistent, we have seen that the Promoted field will reset between sessions - therefore, we are unsure of whether a change has been promoted already -. For now, our workaround is to export all changes linked to the project every time, but it is inefficient.
- Filters for visible columns
We would like to be able to filter the changes by Exported and User fields at least... Though ideally we should be able to filter with any of the fields offered.
Also, we would like to have the option to apply advanced filters, as we can do in listviews.
This would help manage large change sets more easily.
- UI improvement: move the delete (trash) icon
Currently the button is placed on the left, close to the "Select all" checkbox. Though unlikely, this could lead to someone deleting changes.
The suggestion is to move this to the right, where there are no user-interactive elements to work with (right now, if we added filters as mentioned in the previous suggestion, it wouldn't so necessary :D).
- Include UTA version activation as a logged project change
We changed the Version in which new Applications would be created in our Submission Manager. However, the change did not appear in the list of changes to apply in the T2P tool. This means this change needs to be done manually for every environment - which is not ideal -.
We plan to review pagination, search, and filtering capabilities within the T2P tool. If versioning is not being promoted, it should be reported as a defect to support.
