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.

  • Hello everyone,

    We developed an app at Graphax to allow the creation of substitute by M-Files objects.

    This app allows to add a start date and a end date (for example I will be missing from next monday until friday), the substitute can be either a person or a group.

    Everything is managed by M-Files permissions (so you can give access only to a manager).

    If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me, I will be happy to help you Slight smile
