Apps GUI Suggestions

The goal is to gather some suggestions and forward them to iX-Systems.

For easy reference the priorities are linked to a future release for reference purposes and should be read as "The following release or earlier". When given a priority the following is taken into account:

• The amount of complaints about something
• How invasive the change is, most likely, going to be vs. the time till the aimed release.
• If there are any TrueCharts features that are currently "on-hold" or struggeling, due to the lack of a certain feature
• The added value a feature is going to have for TrueNAS SCALE
