New Desktop UI Release 2022

New UI interface seams pretty but in terms of productivity and optimization it fails, don't have the possibility to see the metadata card on the bottom pane, gives to the users a lost of time and productivity more clicks, more time to complete tasks I don't believe that was missed out.

Hi, have you tried to open the metadata card into a new window (Alt+Enter)? In the new window, it is possible to see the metadata card and preview side by side. It is also possible to get the metadata card window to reopen dynamically when another object is selected from the listing. To do this, the following setting needs to be changed from the MfAdmin client:

Configurations > Advanced Vault Settings > Configuration > Client > Desktop > Metadata card > Allow Single Metadata Card Popup Only = 'Yes'

We appreciate your feedback! Is there any other specific things that you think lowers productivity compared to the old UI? Or are you referring to the four panes Home view that is no longer there?

Hi Samuli, with multi-file this solution does not work, even if we have a default pdf file set for preview. Is there a workaround for this also?

Samuli, thank you for your information, your sugestion is an workaround that works fine for a non daily user, but please don't forgot to fix it, adding the feature or even the possibility to use the same layout than in the Web Client, that is great now.
Thank you. 

Hi Benny, you cannot open the preview in the new window, but you can still have the preview open in the main client window and metadata card open in the new window. Selecting another object in the listing will then reopen the metadata card window, and the preview in the main window. Does this help in your case?

Hi Samuli, 

I understand this as a temporary workaround, but it is counterproductive on the long run. A lot more clicking around and also counterintuitive. We should really keep things simple for end users, like it was to date, especially if it affects all users around the globe. Something M-Files was known for (ease of use) and appreciated by many satisfied users.
