Make Chrome your preferred browser

In the USA, chrome is the most common browser. We have run into ongoing issues dealing with Chrome with IBM MaAs360. We are forced to use Edge instead which is frustrating. We have cleared our cookies and cache but it does not help.

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...

In DWA GUI add a notification mechanism (similar to ELM) when content displayed has changed in the background and offer to refresh.

DOORS Web Access lacks the triggered viewport refresh of the DOORS 9 Windows client. It has however all the necessary hooks available to it to display a "data has changed in the background" notification, and to provide the user with a choice to re...

(optionally) Store filter and view settings with a baseline

Baselines store data. But they do not store the views and filters and their settings at the time the baseline was taken / current data. This creates issues down the line when views and filters change or get removed. It would be preferable to store...

Add means to update / modify baseline access controls in limited scenarios.

Static / frozen Access Control Lists block baselines from being accessed on different - or same but evolved, databases, where users and groups differ / have changed. This is especially an issue when a module with baselines is restored from an arch...

Add an audit trail / history for user and group management operations

Audits frequently review what admin added/modified/deleted which user/group when and why. This is currently not recorded in an integrated audit or history feature. It is obvious why this would be useful. Tracking these operations in the logs fails...
