M-Files has shown some consultant tools like Vault comparer, Test tool, Vault documenter etc. - but they are all code-fixed and only to use as they are and without possibility for customization.
I'm just looking for enhanced deployment tools where metadata and configuration changes could be assigned to a implementation ticket and checked in into our local GIT version control. Then I can develop on my machine - a collegue works on an other problem on the same installation also locally. Then I would have to deploy all changes depending on it (new metadata, changing class properties, changing permission settings etc. etc. etc.)
When I'm ready with the task it should be to the approval system and if the feature is approved it should be deployed on production system where I have to decide if this can be during main office times or later in the evening. But I have to make sure that all changes are deployed and all check boxes of the NACL's are set correctly - main error: adding a group etc. but forget to set switch on the rights correctly. Export/Import structure has also no possibility for deploying "property should be removed".
That's why I would need some enhancement method for that - and I guess that other partners and even trained customer adminstrators would also need some of that.
Other example:
I have to add a lot of properties in 3rd level (Employee - user - substition user) to authorized all responsible people e.g. for budget data of their org unit - but hiding it for the others. This is a major manual work adding each property on third level due to scrolling through the properties etc. - and this depending on workflow state - multiple times. Lot of work but also hightly chance to make errors during that.
So I should write a tool using ComAPI and use some predefinitions and select multiple entries at one time - or even compare if PROD and TEST differ in that.
I guess everyone with more complex deliveries knows that problem. The question is if we can found a community implementation of supportive tools.
Here the example which I descibed where I don't even see all assigned entries on one page - not talking about security concept which we need for ISO 9001, ISO 27000 etc.
