What will become of the old IFS Forum (Open IFS)?

Anyone on top what will happen with the old IFS forum called Open IFS?https://open.ifsworld.com/forum/default.aspxStill seems to be active discussions going on there, and no comments about switching to the new community.

IFS Idea Wall in the Community?

Quite often when we send support requests to IFS Support Center we receive the response that the application works as designed and the request will be added to the Idea Wall. It would be very interesting to see the Idea Wall and receive some feedback as of which ideas will be included in future versions of IFS. Please let me know, is there a plan to include Idea Wall or enhancement requests in any form in this forum? It would be great to let the community comment on the ideas and receive feedback about how R&D think about the way going forward with the customer requests.

Community login problems

Every time I log into IFS Community my password is not accepted.. I am able to reset it, by following the reset password link. The problem is when i come back later (short or long period of time), the password is ‘wrong’ again. This happens EVERY time, and I am positively sure that I enter it correctly. :-(

Is there an IFS Community App?

At this years SAKO the leadership team challenged us to think of ways to improve the IFS Community. My immediate thought is there an App for the Community? It would be allowed me to access content in the community quickly from my phone and also notify me of updates to things I have subscribed to or posted/liked. Hopefully allowing people to contribute and interact as they do on Social Media platforms. I would welcome any thoughts on the topic.

How to access wit.ifsworld or docs.ifs links on this site:

There are several questions within the community where a link that begins with wit.ifsworld.com or docs.ifs.com has been offered as part of the solution. But when members click that link, they’ve been unable to login to see the content - even if they’re a customer or partner. Here’s why - and how you can access the same content, in your own IFS instance: wit.ifsworld.com is an IFS internal system and is not intended for non-employees. UPDATE* - docs.ifs.com is now public (Aug 2020) Here’s how the wit links can be tweaked to work for you:Replace wit.ifsworld.com with your server info at the beginning of the URL. Example:Apps 9Navigate to landing page e.g. http://SERVER_URL:PORT/ifsdoc/f1doc/ Copy the wit/docs-link from ‘Foundation1’ and paste after your server URL e.g. https://wit.ifsworld.com/f1docs/apps9upd15/Foundation1/040_administration/255_business_intelligence/040_BI_Analysis_Package/300_BIAnapacConfigLookup.htm becomes http://SERVER_URL:PORT /ifsdoc/f1doc/Foundation1/040_adminis

IFS 10 Technical documentation removed from docs.ifs.com

I have noticed that IFS10 documentation which was available in https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/ is news removed. As a consequence, the links pointed to IFS10 technical documentation in forum questions are no longer working and forum members won’t have a common documentation to refer.Hope forum moderators will act on this.

How advanced is the IFS Community Search?

For an example, I need to search all the posts which has the wording ‘ERROR_359’ in IFS Community? This would help me to see situations which has happened around this particular error and see how the community has solved that issue? Today, when I search, I get so many unwanted results and the result count is 1000s. Also, if some tags can be made mandatory like the track etc, at post creation it would be possible to filter the results effectively. (at least in the relevant forums)

Archiving Unanswered Older Topics

Hey Community,I’d like your feedback on something. The community has been busy the last couple years. We currently have over 20k topics on the site.And while we work to make sure everyone gets an answer, some topics aren’t replied to. Maybe the query is really complex and requires more time than community members had. Or maybe it was a member looking for an opinion, rather than a how-to, and there wasn’t a similar situation to share. In any case, we have just over 1000 topics with no replies. We have members who answer regularly and we reach out to occasional contributors to answer specific posts, but when I ask people to help, I want to make the best use of their time.So my thought is, if you asked a question 6 months ago and didn’t get a reply, you probably aren’t still waiting on an answer. How would you feel about me moving any questions that are 6+ months old into an archive? They would be closed - not appearing in the search results and not circulated among staff to find an answe
