Template Reports
Company templates which can be set up by an administrator or admin supervisor and deployed to supervisors then either have these so they can be locked down and updated centrally by the admin or have them as templates so supervisors can start from that report and customise

You're welcome, it is great to have this conversation so that you can be kept up to date. Going forward, we are going to be sending out e-mail communication to notify re-sellers about future releases and enhancements up to six weeks before launch date. This will allow you to get a better understanding of what is coming to Akixi and will give you enough time to promote and share these enhancements with your customers.

Great news Marcus, appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I look forward to the enhancements. Be good to be part of all enhancement notifications when they go live as we get a better understanding and can share with our customers as required.

I can confirm that in Q3 this year, we are releasing the 'copy report' enhancement. This feature will allow supervisors to clone reports within the same supervisor account. I would also like to emphasise that we have a number of enhancements planned that will go a long way to reducing the time spent on creating and administrating reports going forward.

agree to an extent but not a good message to pass back to our customer who has raised this in week one of going live.
also a similar issue raised is that a supervisor is unable to duplicate a report/wallboard for themselves to change the line been monitored. i.e. I create a wallboard for line A which I customise with rules, fields etc. I then want the same wallboard for line B so in can transition between the 2 but rather than clone the existing I need to start from scratch.
Will this also be addressed with the other enhancements due 2020.
Im sorry to be negative as im newish to Akixi and the system is great but feels like basic functionality has been missed and I worry selling further to hit the same complaints.

I'd rather Akixi take their time and get it right. Rushing this out could cause far more frustration...

Thanks Marcus good to know but frustrating that its taking over 1 year to put in place.

We have a number of 'copy report' based enhancements coming to Akixi. I believe what you are specifically looking for is a 'send reports to' feature. This will allow you to setup reports on a supervisor account which can then be sent and deployed across to other supervisors. This means you will only ever have to configure the same report once and not multiple times on several accounts. We are looking to have this feature included within the first software release in 2020.

Thanks for your suggestion Peter. I am pleased to let you know that a template/duplicate report type enhancement is already on the roadmap backlog for development to start next year. Things such as read only permissions on a report by report basis are being considered for inclusion within the enhancement.
Once in development, you will automatically be kept up to date via the feedback portal.
