Feature requests / Generalization of subtypes

« on: January 02, 2012, 06:50:37 am »

Hi,

First great thanks for the job already done since OpenGoo.

Then would next FO releases implement a generalization of subtypes as used in tasks ? e.g. it would permit us to create notes subtypes in aim to have our specific objects with their specific properties both in viewing and editing mode !

Today we manage this with note object custom properties (via the admin menu "custom properties") with the key custom property being a "Type" property. It works since we can manage reports based on the Type property to select only the desired specific object.
Anyway, it's really a pain to add a new specific object since the note object is added more and more custom properties as the number of specific objects increases.
It's really a pain when editing property values, less when viewing properties since only properties with a value appears.

IMHO the generalization of subtypes could permit to achieve the same need, but with a more clean management (creation, editing, viewing, deleting).

What's your opinions and needs ?

Feature requests / create customized objects appearing in tabs and as a widget

« on: March 07, 2011, 10:08:49 pm »

Hi,

first congratulations for this high quality product : as I've said before, I tried lot of collab webapp and FO definitely is the most advanced one in the standalone category (wich you can deploy on your own servers)

second my feature request : would it be possible to add a generic object, void for the most part, but custumzable using already available custom properties (those wich we setup via the preference manager, so tese custom properties would be available in reports).

I think these wouldn't be a lot effort to implement as they would just be like a note with custom properties for example. This would offer everybody a change to add support for specialized objects we are used to managed in companies.
For example I use custom properties for notes to manage an "asset management"-like (the goal is to manage these in one place, ie in FO rather than in GLPI.
If the "custom object adding" feature were there, I would create an "Asset" object with custom properties named "type" of type "list of values" setup like this : "computer, switch, router, etc...". We then could use existing object linking feature to associate "Asset" objects together !

For anaother company it could be adding custom objects named "medecine" for medical businesses.

In fact, it just would add FO such a flexibility to stick to the business model of everyone ! Don't you think that would be great ? Just by using existing features ?

How many people would be pleased to have such a possibility ? With the possibility to see "custom objects" defined in a new tab with the "create new" feature, this would be a feature must !!

Thanks by advance reating to this idea.

Mickaël.

Ideas / Asset management

« on: November 27, 2009, 07:01:37 pm »

What about an asset management tool ? A simple one, with the existing feature of custom properties would be a good base (to manage an IT machines park, finnancial immobilized ressources, furnitures and so on) ...

Ideas / RSS feeds reader

What about add a feature to stick at the cutting edge by being notified of the new items of a RSS feed ? It could be done as a new dashboard widget and a new OpenGoo tab "News / RSS feeds" next to the web bookmarks one ...

Ideas / whiteboard

« on: November 27, 2009, 06:37:20 pm »

What is always missing in collaborating environment is a tool to make succint drawings (vectorial based rather than bitmap based). It would be so nice to have the possibility to include (or link) such a drawing into Documents, Spreadsheet (GelSheet), or Presentation, or simply have the possibility to draw into a Note !

What do you think of this ?

Ideas / hierarchical milestones, tasks with dependancies, and Gantt chart

« on: November 27, 2009, 06:31:31 pm »

I think it would be nice to have milestones accept child milstones. It would permit project-like organization of tasks with what one calls "phases" (and "sub-phases" as well).

Another idea would be to have tasks with dependancies and a Gantt chart ...

What do think of these suggestions ?

How To's / OpenGoo 1.5.3 with OpenGoo 6.2 beta's spreadsheet

« on: November 27, 2009, 06:20:49 pm »

I'm using OpenGoo 1.5.3 yet, but I wish to integrate v. 1.6.2 beta2's spreadsheet (since 1.5.3 one isn't useable with functions in formulas).
Is there a way to do it ?

I would use v. 1.6.2 beta 2 in place of v. 1.5.3, but I find out that the 1.6.2' ckeditor is less useable than the 1.5.3 one (there is no more color chooser in the table properties, one has to enter the color code by hand ; there is no more anchor button to create an anchor in a document, etc. Is this a regression ?).

So the best solution for me is to use 1.5.3 with the 1.6.2 GelSheet ... Or if someone knows about configuring the 1.6.2 beta2's ckeditor to behaves like the 1.5.3's one, it would be another solution (therefore the 1.6.2 beta2 includes the new "archive" functionnality).

Somebody here for a quick way ?

Thanks by advance.

Getting Started / displaying workspaces label in calendar

« on: November 12, 2009, 05:56:56 pm »

Is there a mean to display workspaces labels in front of events in the calendar when the "all workspaces" is selected (i.e, there is no workspace scoping) ?
It would be great to have such display to visually discern what workspace an event is tied to.

thanks.
