Difference in the UI/navigation between Cloud and older versions.

The biggest being the removal of the RMB. From my experience, users who are used to the older versions, have not enjoyed the initial transition across to Cloud. As its simply not what they are used to! Ill admit, I wasn't a fan initially, but over time you do get used to the changes. It works particularly well now across different kinds of devices as it scales correctly.  

Loss of Group and Sum functionality

Limited range of Conditional formatting colours.  

I find the Cloud/web application annoyingly “glitchy” - you think you’ve made a selection but the page hasn’t quite loaded so you’ve ended up selecting the wrong record.  Difficult to define but just not as ‘definite’ as Apps9

Copy and paste functionality not being robust (or even available in some cases) - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

Not being able to choose custom fields to display in the ‘panels’ - at user level - everyone gets everything.

Maybe I’ve forgotten how glitchy Apps9 was :-) 

One of the greatest advantages of IFS Cloud is its ability to run seamlessly on any device.

However, the following limitations can also be observed.

In IFS Cloud,

• Finding the correct node in the navigator is a real challenge for me as it shows so many navigator nodes.

• It's difficult to differentiate between searching and filtering, and the lack of advanced search features is a significant limitation.
• After entering the search criteria, we need to click the Search button to populate the data. Ideally, pressing the Enter key should also work, but there doesn't seem to be an option to enable this. The 'When Criteria is Changed' option in the Search settings doesn't seem to help either.
• Application Search functionality is missing. It's been used by many users to easily navigate to the relevant record. It has been mentioned that it’s being implemented using AI, but not free. This feature should be comes with the framework as it was there in the previous versions. 
• When scrolling down a page, the header and commands section move up as well, requiring users to scroll back to the top to run any commands.

• 

• Poor readability. It’s hard to differentiate the Field labels and  data. It should be possible to add a border around the field or change the color of the fields to contrast the field from the background. None of these features are available on appearance designer. It would be great if the readability of the pages can be improved.

Dear Thilochana Ekanayake,

Thank you for your detailed answer!

I tried the 'When Criteria is Changed' option in the Search settings and it works properly for me. When any criteria is changed a new list populate. You have to set it up at every pages where you want this method. 

There is a keyboard shortcut what could help you with this problem:

(“When scrolling down a page, the header and commands section move up as well, requiring users to scroll back to the top to run any commands.”)

If you push the “.” button 

A command list appear so you can choose any command you want. 

You can see “page commands” and If you mark a line you can choose those commands what are related to lines. 

Its almost like the RMB was.

Hi Roland,

Thanks for sharing the shortcut to access the commands. It’ll definitely improve the usability .

 'When Criteria is Changed' option works for me too. But there’s no central place to set this option for all pages as the default search setting.
