Link to Perspective

Avatar
  • updated

In companies with many perspectives or when you have users who may not be 100% familiar with ARCOS such as during a large winter storm. It would be beneficial to be able to send a link to a perspective, instead of having to navigate away from the perspective and then take a screen shot of the hierarchy to allow someone how to find the correct perspective. It also makes it a bit more difficult in indicating the correct perspective to utilize in emergency procedures.

Hi Cameron, thanks for the suggestion. We are working on a new "Perspective Search" feature that will add a search box above the folder list that allows the user to type a full or partial perspective name to find (and navigate to) that perspective. A question back to you, would this type of search functionality replace the need for the "link" you suggested?

Good morning, Mostly Yes it would, however there is still at least one-use case for a direct link and that would be used in conjunction with the other idea bank suggestion of a user that doesn't get logged out, kind of like a system account so that in the EOC and other emergency/operations centers we can have ARCOS up on one of the video monitors showing real time dashboards. a direct link would simplify the work for the IT folks that set those up.

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification. We are also looking at a way for users to "bookmark" Perspectives to provide easier navigation between their favorite ones. While we evaluate the bookmark options, we'll also take a look at being able to share a link.
