In the AddAccess dialogue, do not display user names together with group names by default.

Large organisations with hundreds or thousands of users and groups often manage access controls through groups. Displaying all the users together with all the groups in the 'Add Access' dialogue by default, is often not necessary and creates consi...

Make the 'Add Access' dialogue window resizeable to allow displaying Group or User names that are longer than the width of the default dialogue window size.

Items (objects, modules, projects, folders and others) in DOORS 9 client, have a properties - access panel, which has an 'add access' button. The 'Add Access' dialogue behind it, is of fixed size, which can lead to overly long group and usernames ...

In Word to DOORS export, add document structure management similar to RTF import in DOORS.

Request to introduce a hierarchy structure to the DOORS views list. Long lists of many views become easily unmanageable in the current UI. Introducing categories under which view names can be grouped will greatly enhance the user experience with long view lists.

Tools->Option->"OSLC Link Query" tab needs to be intuitive

It takes a lot of time to search for the right project when the list is so (which is , in our case). It would help us to win a lot of time if we had an option to search for the project and then choose it/select it.

Request the ability to resize Excel OLE in DOORS in order to view additional data
