As an app manager administrator, I would like to be able to configure the app manager to use an external authentication store (e.g. AD), so that I don't have to maintain a separate user list just for the app manager

It should be possible to use an external authentication store for access to the App Manager (https://portal.ombiel.co.uk/)

Having to maintain a user list in oMbiel's DB as well as our main user store (AD) is both a pain and a potential security risk.

Suggest at least LDAP provision, but should also consider Shibboleth and similar (Open Auth etc.)

Currently push notifications can either be enable, or disabled. If they are enabled, then ALL notifications are pushed (i.e. showing up on lock screen), if disabled, then ALL sent out notifications are in-app notifications (only showing in the tile counter when you open the app). It would be good to have a setting while creating a notification where you could select to either send it out as a push notification, or send it out as an in-app notification.

You should be able to search both fields in one search

Enable dynamic parameter for URL of tiles (ex pass a parameter from the user context in the URL).
For either RSS or Link tiles.

ex : http://a.b.com/open&name=[username]&token=[jwttoken]

Hide a tile based on a role.

I often get asked to hide tile based on role membership such as "first year students" or "final year students".

For example we use the timetable tile but some courses don't have a timetable and we would therefore like to hide the timetable tile for those students (who are easily identified by course).

the work flow is a simple one our user add content

 App Setting > Content > any content area

For this to be available in the app you have to go to

 App settings > Publish Content > select all the All options

As you only want to publish content when you are ready, and we have many authors. We have a process that says we publish at 8am and 12 noon. But a human has to do this.

I would like it to be automated so we can schedule content publishing.

We should be able to export and import the app manager settings/configuration between the development and live environments.

This would allow us to keep the two environments in sync and also allow us to test in development and then sync it to live without the possibility of human data entry errors.

Before publishing any new content, aek etc to the app it would be useful to be able to view a breakdown of what changes have been made since the last publish.

When viewing a particular role and moving tiles in App Builder, other roles (and their tiles) can be affected by the placement algorithm but it is not possible to see this impact unless all roles are visible at once or you notice after publish.

This can make management tricky and irritates users if you don't notice an unintended change - finding a way to limit/stop this would be very useful.

Enable an institution to customize the app manager feedback such that it can be redirected to a different feedback solution for ideas.

The current feedback mechanism is very basic. There is no capability for a user to see if idea an idea has already been posted or to vote on ideas. We want to instead direct users to a feedback portal (like this one) where they can see what other ideas have been raised and vote on.

When we have to create two version of a tile (such as LDAP vs. SSO or Mobile vs. Web) there is currently no way to label the menu options in App Builder without that showing up in the app itself. Clients don't want students to see "Library (LDAP)" at the top of the AEK screen, but it is helpful to have the designation visible on the backend when making changes or assigning menu options to the right roles/profiles.

Additional property in Tile Config within App Builder which allows a tile to be displayed between defined dates.

We'd like to be able to reorder the displaying list of the RSS feeds in our news tile. Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to do so. It looks like it orders them according to the order you created them.

The way that notifications currently appear from the App is by showing 'New message from MDXApp'.

In order to improve engagement with the notifications, is there any way to change that to show up as a drop down preview of the message being sent instead, that displays a part of of the notifications content.

This would be more similar to the way other applications' notifications show up on your phone and could improve our engagement rate with students.

The design team struggle to reduce the file size of the banner to the required 30K without it reducing the quality of the images if they are using photographs.
Please increase the size of the allowance to 100K

Please could the list of phones/devices available for preview be updated in the App Manager.

There have been a significant number of larger screen phones released in the last few years and the app manager currently does not render these devices making it hard to see how campusM looks on a large screen.
