   First, I want to say that I’m a BIG fan of the MachForm software and 4.6 is a great addition to an already great platform. With that said, here are some ideas that I think would greatly enhance its functionality and things that our company desperately needs.

   1.) Customizing PDF’s
   - Ability to enter custom HTML code or WYSIWYG editor for personalized PDF’s for each form separately. I know this has been discussed in prior posts, and has been said that there is something in the works. Is there a possible timeline on this feature release? Was hoping 4.6 :(

   2.) User Permissions
   - We want to give users the ability to edit/customize Reports but NOT the form itself. The only way a user can currently edit a report or widget data is by giving them the “Edit Form” permission. Can these user permissions be broke down more? Maybe add “Edit Reports” permission. See example… https://genprod.com/onlineforms/downloads/reportrights.jpg

   3.) Reports
   - Incorporate a search bar on the entries grid widget to pull out relevant data based on the search entered. (THIS IS HUGE!) See example…

   - “Drill down to data” ability on hover over (Tool Tips) on Bar/Pie Charts. Maybe a quick-look entry grid view of that particular data. Drilling down to the data is a big deal. See example...

   Thanks for any feed back!

   Thank you for your suggestions!

   1) We were hoping this to be included as part of v4.6 as well, but unfortunately we're hitting technical difficulties. We found out the PDF engine won't work when the HTML code is having incorrect tags. even a minor error would break it. We'll look for some alternatives

   2) Yes, we have this within our todo list already

   3) Search bar and drill down -- we'll consider this further

   May I recommend you take a look at AMCharts at amcharts.com to replace/supplement Kendo? We also started with Kendo charts for our internal system, but switched to AM recently and love their take on things.

   Also, I would like to add suppressing zero value items from the charts as an option within each widget.

   I think if we could have access to the updated Kendo UI's we would be set! For example, just the ability to be able filter data like this in there updated Grid would be amazing!!!!! We use ALOT of these views in a meeting setting. Trying to filter data in the back-end just doesn't work in a timely manner. But the updated Kendo grid widget would work perfectly!

   In addition to the widgets we have now, would be the calendar/scheduler widget. This would be huge for us as well!!!

   Yuniar: I recommend checking out http://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui#more-widgets and look at the possibilies!

   WOW!

   Hello Yuniar,
   for 4.7 I would like to ask, if possible, to have the overflow in the entry page and the ability to can order the columns present in it.
   With overflow the columns will not be truncated when the entry page has a many columns enabled and, with the opportunity of ordering the column order, user can give priorities on data he want to see.
   Let me know if I was clear and if can be done.

   Moreover will be really useful having another field type: Autoincrement.
   In that way we can add in the form a "counter" with a number that can be customized with an alphanumerical prefix / postfix:
   This "counter", in the form, customized with prefix and postfix can be, for example, the number of a cinema ticket :).

   For example: AAA123BBBB;
   AAA= Prefix
   BBB= Postfix
   123= auto incremental part

   Obviously auto incremental part can start/stop from a value choosed by users.

   Let me know if this can be done too and if we can have it in 4.7.
   Thank you in advance.
