DOORS DXL: Add support for single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in DXL string to eval_(), similar to how checkDXL() behaves

Currently eval_() cannot handle single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in its input string parameter, as it prematurely escapes string. This limitation is not documented, and therefore not clear to users. This limitation contradicts ...

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.

Some shared modules can have a huge number of views. Naming of views is often not conducive to usability - ie. showing frequently use views on top of the list to avoid (long) scrolling) when selecting a view. Naming views to achieve this (for exam...

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 feature that tracks (and/or controls) DXL scripts database wide during runtime and beyond.

Currently DXL scripts offer powerful customisation options, but since they're entirely run client-side, it is hard to manage them centrally and database wide, especially when they impact performance or stability, or when maintenance tasks require ...

Allow users to manage / unlock their previously stalled and prematurely terminated DOORS client <> server connections

Currently, users who get disconnected by any means other than the proper DOORS Client "File" "Exit" termination, may find their DOORS session still being active albeit stale, or locks still in place from a previous session. Currently administrator...

DOORS: Users shall be able to edit the ReqIF definition "Name" and "Description" fields

When a user creates a ReqIF definition and clicks OK there is now no way to edit the "Name" and "Description" fields. If the user has made a typo their only option is to delete this ReqIF definition and create a new one. DOORS should allow users t...

Implement identical richtext capabilities between DOORS 9 client and DOORS Web Access, for example RTF colors

Currently RTF in DWA is more limited compared to the DOORS 9 client. For example, text colors that show in the client are not displayed on the web. Similar feature scope for Richtext between the two methods of displaying module data, is desirable.

Allow the controlled modification of attribute definitions while some module data is locked for shared edit.

In a high availability around-the-clock scenario, it is not feasible to stop shared editing in order to modify attribute definitions and purge objects. Both types of tasks need to take place within the same time frame. Perhaps the concept of setti...

Allow to copy projects, folders and modules while data is locked for editing therein

In a busy database accessed by users across multiple time zones, the limitation of exclusivity between copying projects, folders and modules, and locking data in modules for editing is a serious constraint. Breaking up this exclusivity will greatl...

Allow archiving of projects and modules while users have edit locks on data

Currently both tasks - archiving and editing, require exclusive access to all modules in a project (project archives), all data in a module (module archiving) (exclusive edit) or some data in a module (shared edit). This excludes the ability to cr...
