Re: Two-factor authentication - Status changed to: Planned
Hi Oleksandr, Thanks for your update on this feature. Firstly, I’m pleased to hear our feedback has been taken on board and this has been put into active development. I have two points to raise off the back of this: Firstly, my opinion is using email as a second factor (and having this as the only option) is a half-baked approach to 2FA. There is a flaw with this approach, in that if a user’s email is compromised, the attacker can both reset the account password AND receive a 2FA token to the email. This ‘single weak point’ goes against the spirit of 2FA in my view. Granted, this is more secure than not having 2FA at all, but has this weakness been considered by the team? (https://www.identityserver.com/articles/the-dangers-of-considering-email-as-two-factor-authentication) Secondly, I appreciate it’s early days but it would be good to understand more about the mechanics of the rollout – specifically with the ‘default on’ approach. I am in a bit of an unusual position in that we have several thousand users of our platform and the majority will not want to use 2FA. Will I be able to control the rollout of this so that users receive no communications / prompts to use 2FA unless I decide to turn it on? (I don’t want the update landing, users being asked to use 2FA, and then me later turning it off). In other words, will I be able to configure this before it ‘goes live’ and starts affecting users? Thanks again for the update on this - Joseph20Views0likes0CommentsAllow text wrap for column / bar chart category titles
Since L2025.3, the algorithm for how ‘long’ category labels are handled in column / bar charts has been adjusted. These used to wrap as needed (and have a fairly long character string limit), but the wrapping feature has seemingly been removed completely in L2025.3. The result of this is text that would previously display fine is now overly-truncated. I thought this might have been a bug, but support are saying this is intentional. If the aggressiveness of this truncation algorithm is not going to be reviewed, please can we have the option to enable / disable text wrapping with the old character limit. I have attached an image showing the old vs. new behaviour.47Views2likes0CommentsRe: Global ElastiCube Builds Schedule Report
Just came across this idea an it's honestly brilliant and would be really useful to us, as a user that is often struggling to juggle multiple Elasticube refreshes at appropriate times. Goillocorcent's mockup of the interface is exactly the sort of thing I was after, and I think has everything I need (with the csv export giving more flexibility if needed). I see there haven't been any updates on this since July-2024, when it was mentioned as potentially part of the H2 2024 roadmap - is this still on the horizon? I really hope so!

Another vote for this suggestion. Moving multiple widgets down a larger dashboard can be very time-consuming. I like the idea of a toggle at the top of the dashboard that allows you to click a checkbox next to each widget, then drag multiple at once; into a new position, a separate dashboard, or have an option to delete them all. It would also be great to be able to 'tick' several widgets, then vertically resize one, and have all be resized to the same height. My current approach for resizing multiple widgets to be the same height is to hold a physical ruler up to my screen, which doesn't feel very high-tech!574Views1like0CommentsAdd functionality for updating the Elasticube a Pulse Alert is associated with
When changing the Elasticube associated with a dashboard, any Pulse alerts built off widgets from that dashboard will not be changed and will continue to be affected by the old Elasticube. This is an issue if you are replacing one Elasticube with another. There is no warning / message when changing a dashboard's Elasticube that pulses will be affected. There is no way to see the Elasticube a pulse is attached to - only the dashboard (but again, changing the dashboard's Elasticube doesn't change the pulses). There is no way to see which pulses are built on top of an Elasticube from the Elasticube screen (unlike with dashboards). I would like the ability when changing the Elasticube for a Dashboard that has Pulse alerts associated to it, give the prompt option to update to the new Elasticube for Pulses as well. This could either be done: Via some new UI Via some warning (similar to when you try and delete a cube with active dashboards / pulses) - but this would then also need the secondary ability to manually change the Elasticube associated with Pulses.620Views5likes2Comments
