Ignition Features and Ideas

Built-in DateTime functionality to use the locale. https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-732-locale-for-datetime-picker-on-components/71212 Also: https://inductiveautomation.canny.io/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/dutch-nl-locale-for-perspective-datetime-components

There are many scenarios where highly available systems require a SCADA connection to a primary and secondary version of a device. A general approach to Ignition device connection redundancy would solve a lot of issues with janky solutions. Otherwise, just the ability to specify a failover endpoint for DNP3 and Modbus TCP connections similar to OPC-UA redundancy would really help.

It would be great to either: a) Assign a parameter type (color picker, path picker, icon picker, etc) to a particular parameter meta data, or b) Have the parameter type inherited by binding, so that if a parameter is bound to a color property, it automatically provides the color picker, etc.

When events overlap, only one can be selected and displayed. It'd be great to have an overlap: False option to display them all at once with a reduced height, so they all fit the same row.

Manual deletion of errored tasks is one at a time and requires extra steps. when errored tasks are over 200 entries time to delete and slow response is excessive. These were failed buildup over time due to bulk updates Send Project (thru Web Config EAM Task) and Send Tags (thru Designer). Would like to see a checkbox select multiple and delete interface on Web config EAM Tasks. Manual deletion in internal DB requires expertise and carries risk 1) idb, selecting the GATEWAYTASKRECORD table we could see all our tasks that we want to delete 2)We first found key factors that distinguished the tasks we wanted to delete from the tasks we wanted to keep then updated our query to be a DELETE query with a WHERE clause (where ISFORCED = 1 was the first WHERE clause and TYPE = 'desired type' was our second 3) restarted the Gateway to push the changes

I've set these tags below to be a mixture of read-only and read/write with write permissions set, however they all just display with the same icon making it far more work to know which are writable with permission and which are not at all. It would be really nice if the icons with different, like showing the lock for read-only and a security badge for write-with-permissions

When are you going to bring "grouping and ungrouping" feature to ignition perspective (like vision & other platforms have); as far as components/ objects on a screen? Then perhaps have short cut keys for them (i.e. Ctrl +g for group & ctrl +u to ungroup). This feature is desperately needed. Thanks,

Add a checkbox to run a script in the Script Console as though it were running on the Gateway. OR Check a box and the Script console would highlight lines that might not work if run as a Gateway event script. I've figured out my issues this time, but it's hardly the first time that I've been all excited that my script runs great in the console only to have it fail miserably while I paste it into a Gateway event script.

After integrating Okta with Ignition, I have come to find out that Vision has very little support for the roles handed down from Okta for the user. Perspective appears to support this, but we are running a fairly large front end built in Vision. This is a disappointment

With the current implementation, the labels of XYChart flicker and disappear when the user makes a selection - shifting the whole table over. This is true when there are more than around 300 rows of data on the XYChart, and the problem worsens with more rows. By virtualization, I mean that the component should not be trying to process every datapoint when rendering. If the user selects a month window, even 5-second-long durations are being rendered. I've made attempts at pre-processing the data to simplify it, but I think it would make more sense to be baked into the component. Turning 8000 rows over 10 columns into 300 rows is possible - but visually the results look completely different.
