Give migration package powers to a new management level role on project level (project manager)

Currently only DB Managers / admins can manage migration packages (for DNG). In large scale deployments, a hand ful of admins is typically faced with dozens if not hundreds of projects and their management tasks, particularly the migration to DNG ...

Introduce a 'project manager' role that can take over admin tasks from DB managers, but limited to a project's scope.

In a typical large scale DOORS DB, thousands of users, hundreds of concurrent users, work on dozens or hundreds of projects, while the entire database often has less than a handful of 'database managers'. There is currently no management layer bet...

Allow removal of locks for specific users in the DOORS Databaseserver Administration Tool (DBSAT)

The current lock management feature is rudimentary: one list of all locks, a remove lock button to acts on one line/item at a time. Managing dozens or hundreds of concurrent users, it is important to be able to remove all locks for a specific user...

Allow resizing of the DOORS Database Server Administration Tool (DBSAT) window and columns.

The user experience is limited with the current implementation of the fixed size window and columns, particularly on very high resolution screens and when working with huge numbers of users / many lines of data.

Add a facility to the Database Server Admin Tool (DBSadmin.exe) that allows to filter with regular expressions on active locks displayed.

Oftentimes admins have to manage hundreds of concurrent users, and their stale locks. Working with a list of dozens and hundreds of rows in the DBSAT is unnecessarily tedious. The simple addition of a filter feature, ideally with regular expressio...

DOORS direct connection to company LDAP

DOORS is not able to connect directly to a company LDAP, like DOORS Next. DOORS is able to do it via RDS, that is more or less a simpler LDAP. So the ideas is to make DOORS available to connect to company LDAP. RDS brings a lot of software to be i...

Add a means of saving and loading filters (to/from internal repositories and/or file system) to allow for example baselines to use filters that cater for their structure & data (vs current data)

Filters are saved with views, and filters can change, which may break baseline viewing / filtering, if the structure (attributes etc) changes over time. Storing specific filters and re-loading them when needed would work around this issue and enha...

Request to be able to delete baseline references when baselines have been deleted

We have modules with more than 700 baselines, but a lot have been deleted. When we view the list of baselines in "Manage Baselines" it is slow to scroll through as all the baseline references remain, even though some have been deleted. We request ...

For username-type attributes, show contents as strike-through when the underlying username has since been removed from the user list.

Currently, for a username type attribute, when during data entry an existing username is picked - let's say JDoe, and the attribute is saved for this object; upon modifying this user JDoe, for example by renaming them to DoeJ, or by deleting them,...

Stop auto-scroll when two modules are viewed side-by-side

Two modules are open side by side and these modules have many links to each other. When you scroll down through one module you notice the second module also starts to scroll down, even though you have not touched it. The customer would like to sto...
