Please improve the "substitute users" functionality

Dear M-Files,

Can you please consider improving the substitute users functionality?

My suggestions:

  • Make it more prominent for users to actually see/access the functionality. Can the option not be listed immediately under the 'User Menu' options?
    • Or what about having an actual button on the homescreen between the 'User Menu' icon and the 'Object Creation' icon?
  • Users: disabled users show up as possible substitutes. Can you filter so that only enabled users are showing as possible substitute users?
  • What about an expiration of the substitute period? Or some kind of indicator on the users homescreen to show that the functionality is active?
    • Some of our users forget to remove the substitute users when no longer required. What about a icon on the homescreen that remains as long as substitute users is turned on? (e.g. like the yellow icon that shows when updates to M-Files are available)

Thank you.

Patrick.

  • Thanks for the feedback, I've recorded it to our internal development tracker. The substitute user functionality unfortunately hasn't been a development focus lately so cannot promise any enhancements in the near future. I personally agree that there are many potential improvements that could be made.

  • Also it would be helpful if privileged users (the user's supervisor , manager or similar) could add and remove substitutes. People get sick or have accidents and may not be able to add their own substitute. We need an option to do this on their behalf.
