Business ready dashboard sharing

The dashboard exported from DO for DSX is currently a json file. The business user has no way of easily opening and reviewing the dashboard. Ideally the dashboard should be packaged in a way that is directly consumable from the business user witho...

Reusable Gantt chart for Python models

Provide interactive Gantt that can easily connect to a Python CPLEX model, without writing code for the Gantt. (see e.g. how SPSS Modeler provides reusable and configurable visuals inside their new UI, we are looking for a similar experience, i.e....

Support custom installed Python libraries

DO for DSX seems to not support custom installed Python libraries.I installed a Python library for performance profiling in the notebook for my optimization model using '!pip install yappi'.The notebook runs fine, but when importing as model, the ...

Full optimization modeling editor inside DO for DSX

The DO for DSX model editor needs to be on par with other optimization model editors (such as our own CPLEX Studio) to remain relevant and for people to buy in. It should include built-in capabilities also to do sensitivity analysis, monitor model...

More consistent handling of .csv data when manually duplicating/creating scenarios

Problem statement/pain points: When creating a new scenario via duplicating an existing one manually (not using Python code), there appear to be currently two ways to make a change to input data in a table of the new scenario: 1) change data direc...

Ability to add/remove rows in "Input Data" tables in Model Builder

Use case: I duplicate a scenario in the "Scenarios" panel. The scenario I'd like to test involves adding/removing one data point, e.g. adding a new machine in the predictive maintenance model or taking that machine out of service by removing it. ...

Visual Modeler interface for CPLEX in DSX

In our current DSX offering we enable programmatic access with Python API for CPLEX engine to solve optimization problems. Leveraging this capability requires a user to have deep technical and programming skills. Iterating across scenarios with mo...

Ease call, edit, debug, and monitor OPL / CPLEX models within DSX

OPL is a much simpler way than Python for optimization modeling and today we provide only https://twitter.com/AlexFleischer1/status/909759411484274689 . If we had a simpler way OPL / CPLEX customers could move their models to DSX and DSX data scie...
