WK import is scheduled to run daily. However, we see a failure in this process on average 1-4 times per month. Each time it fails, we receive an email notifying us of the failure and we have to go in and manually rerun the process. 95% of the time...

Ability for admin to delete fields from the UI

Fields are often created in error or are no longer in use but they can never be deleted from OpenPages. This causes a lot of confusion in the administation screens. Admins should be able to at least hide these fields from their views

Often times when copying objects there are fields that have to be reset. One example would be updating the status field after copying an object. Another use case would be to update fields after copying templates from the library.

We would like to have an option to be able to disable the Change Locale on a per profile basis or as a application permission similar to how we can disable access to standard UI. This is to prevent users from being able to change locale under the ...

Dynamic Children Section in Admin View should include Copy Associated action.

The new Admin View in 8.3 allows us to add the Dynamic Children section, which shows all the child relationships for the object (similar to the "Associations" listings on the left side pane of the old standard UI). This is great as it allows us to...
