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...

How to prevent users from changing the Default Module View

Currently many users create and save their own views as the Default view of the module. There is no way to lock down the Default view for the module and to prevent users from saving their own views as the Default view for everyone.

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...

RDS support for RHEL 8.x

Since SDS - Security Directory Server is available on RHEL 8.x, and SDS is part of RDS - Rational Directory Server, it could be possible to make RHEL 8.x available as operating system also for RDS?

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...
