    The timestamp function does not yet fully support use across multiple global locations with different time zones

    For example, the timestamp is set for Tokyo time and for US end users, when they sign-off on something using the workflow. If they are signing off on a test using the action button in the workflow at 12:00 noon, it will show a date of the next day...

    User can share customized dashboard panel with another user

    We have users that want to create a dashboard panel which is more focused on their country: e.g. issues assigned to the 4 different managers across their country. This is not something we can make available for every user because of the specific a...

    autosave capability

    Provide an autosave capability prior to the user being logged out of OpenPages. Currently, OpenPages logs out a user after 15 minutes of inactivity. Prior to that automatic logoff, OpenPages should save the latest draft of object.

    As a user I want an ability to update data directly within text fields in a grid view, similar to the functionality of Excel. This would eliminate the need to open individual records each time fields such as description or comments require modific...

    Object Commenting - Reply To

    I have demonstrated the Object Commenting feature to our key OpenPages users and they will start to use it by Q1 2026. They have observed though that it may not work too well for oversight users that may be commenting on many different objects to ...

    Hide Public Filters

    There should be a way to hide public filters from a grid view. Filters used in task views do not always need to be displayed to a user so these should have the option to be hidden. Controlled via a group access rather than individual user or enabl...

    Generate PDF documents from documents stored in OpenPages

    A new feature for converting Microsoft documents (Word, Excel, etc.) to PDF would be very useful. Users can upload documents in various formats to OpenPages, but reports for regulatory bodies must be generated in PDF format. With this feature, the...

    Ability to customize content of MyTasks (e.g. additional columns/headers, etc.)

    Currently, the content and layout of the My Tasks tab cannot be changed. Information is limited only to the ‘Type’, ‘Workflow Name’, ‘Stage’(Status), ‘Criticality’ and ‘Stage Due Date’. Some of this information may not be valuable to most of our u...

    Ability to update data within Grid

    When viewing data in a Grid view - be it the master grid view or a grid within a task view, it would be nice to have an edit mode toggle similar to how we currently have in task view where users can update attributes directly from the grid instead...

    Build Dynamic filters using WatsonX

    Not all business users are able to create filters with their desired conditions directly in the Grid view. To simplify this, we want to enable users to input their filter criteria in natural language through WatsonX. WatsonX will then interpret th...
