  • Users connected to GS should be visible and if necessary "forced to logout"

    Angelo Caltagirone
    • Planned For Future Release
    • 5 Comments
    Every user that accesses GS (project server) gets a CAL, even if they are not working on projects on the server. Support told me, that a CAL is taken if a suser has some server based projects in his list. It should be possible to: a) see which user...

    • Idea Delivered Partially
    • 10 Comments
    This idea is simple. There should be a chance to create a custom sequence of phases in GroupShare. For example, instead of the usual 4 phases, I might need 8 or 9 phases of work for a given project. Also, customization of phase names is a must.

  • TM Emergency restoration from SQL backup

    • Planned For Future Release
    • 5 Comments
    It would be great to have a tool that will allow export TMs from SQL databases without GroupShare instance. Another workaround could be batch TM export/import functionality with schedule support. There are real use cases from my practice: Customer...

    Dear all, we are wondering if there could be in the future an option in GS to left click an URL in the translateable section (like in office programs for Hyperlinks). Currently you can click the URL in the Group Share editor. (Right click "Go to .....

    Not being able to move TMs from one organization to another is a real shame and complicates things greatly during major re-organizations.

  • Handling file check-outs

    • 1 Comment
    Considering the cost for Client Access Licenses, it is important to monitor and control who is using your CALs. As long as a file is checked out to a user, this user occupies a CAL and might in some cases block access for others if you are running out...

  • Read-only GroupShare TMs and enable update restrictions

    Burckhardt Rueffer
    • Accepted, Not Yet Planned
    • 3 Comments
    There are several reasons to make TMs read-only or to restrict modifications: It is very easy to delete an entire GS TM from within Studio. Just a right-click... and except for a warning, poof, it's gone. Not good, because accidents happen. We use...

  • Editable Project Templates in GroupShare

    SDL Gov Fulfillment
    • Planned For Future Release
    • 2 Comments
    Is there a way to make the project templates editable in the GroupShare WebUI or to have a project wizard in the GroupShare WebUI similar to the one in Studio? There is a need to change the values of certain fields when creating a new project. For example...

  • Ability to force upLIFT alignment for server-based TM

    • Not Considering
    • 0 Comments
    In GroupShare 2017 SR1, the current implementation of upLIFT alignment for server-based TMs is such that a TM is only flagged as a candidate for alignment if certain criteria are met, according to a builtin algorithm. This would be fine in an ideal...

    In a scenario with many users connecting at the same time GroupShare may start to work slower than usual. It would be great to actually track the load balance in real-time, a bit similar to what Microsoft does with regard their Exchange Online or Azure...
