First I'll say eisy-ui is awesome, you guys have done a great job so far.

I feel like creating/editing programs is taking a lot more clicks & scrolls compared to the AC. Would be nice to reduce this if possible.

• When creating programs the AC remembered the last Action which a lot of times is very helpful especially if it's a complicated action like sending a UDMobile notification which requires many clicks to do the same thing, and when a different node is selected have it remember they last way that nodes options were selected.

• It would be great if UDMobile notification action as made a first class action instead of having to go find the node, but would be really nice if all Notification nodes were first class since I use a few.

• The "Select Notification Template" modal is great, suggestions:

  • Sort by Name

  • Open with details collapsed, otherwise it can be a lot of scrolling.

  • newlines seem to be ignored when showing body?

• drag/drop programs to move into a folder

• cntl & shift click for selecting multiple programs to drag/drop into a folder

That's it so far, but will add to this post if I have more suggestions or add yours if you have any.

@Jimbo.Automates Will add on to your list after working with some programs today:

-Using Schedule Last Run option --> Programs all open with nesting open which made it VERY difficult to scroll thru to find the right program with over 1000 programs.

-Any change made during hte programing process for example tweaking the schedule, RESETS the program to blank causing re-scrolling/ searching. Was very time consuming.

-Same when picking nodes.

-Adding new program, even though I was clicked on a folder, put the new program into the overall tree, requiring several more clicks (after finding it), to move it to the original folder I had highlighted when I clicked ADD. AC was much more efficient.

-Adding a WAIT requires clicking hte ADD button twice; once to activate it, and then to actually add.

Its coming along though!

Yes, that default of last action is a big time saver when programming.

Yes, lots of clicks are needed when programming, which is annoying. Also, it would be nice if the variable list defaulted to state variables instead of integer. I use state variables much more often.

@bmercier, @Javi any feedback on the requests in this thread?

More requests:

• When I click on an action, the Edit Action has a Copy Icon which appends a copy and closes the window. Instead can it just be an "Append" button on the bottom? This is useful when I have a similar action with a slight change to add. So I can make the change then click Append. With the current method I have to Copy then click on the new item to open it, edit it and save.

• If I try to navigate away from a modified program the Unsaved Actions modal options are Cancel & Discard. Add a Save button.

• When cursor is focused in the Programs the cursor up/down moves the highlight to a different program but doesn't select that program. In AC it would select the program and cursor left would collapse a folder and right would expand it.

• The "Program Selector" window always opens with every folder expanded, it would be nice to remember the previous state.

• Notification Editor needs ability to insert Variables etc like AC has.

This was always confusing in the Admin Console, it is only normal as we are all familiar. I've spent many hours trying to explain how to edit AC Programs. So the separation of edit/add/copy, while adding a couple more clicks makes the process more intuitive for most users.

This is captured at a global, e.g. navigate away, so save is not in the context. This is more of a "Your Current changes are going to be discarded, if you navigate" than a save dialog.

Feature request.

Issue: "Enter button does not select program when using arrow navigation."

It is memorized, however there could be some things that derail the expand collapse. The latest release should be better about this, previously very active systems would reset the state and derail expand collapse.
