| ID # | Feedback Description | Submitted by | Area (e.g. Blogs, Q&A, etc.) | Related Link | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Asking questions regarding question title (number of characters remaining when entering the question title), revisions (limit on revisions per post), closing a question, and sorting replies ... | Veseliina Peykova | Q&A | Asking questions (beta) | In the road map |
| 2 | New Profile like survey issues. The "name" is optional, but surprisingly restricted to 30 characters. | Jim Spath | Profile | New Profile like survey issues | Reviewed, reply given in the thread |
| 3 | Opened a blog of someone else and found a button to create a new blog. Had not yet finished the headline and got the forbidden pop-up. | Juergen L | SAP Blogs | Reviewed, reply given in the thread | |
| 4 | Deleting a blog still shows up on topic page -> The indexing job runs once per hour, that's the reason why you might see content that was deleted appearing in search results and feeds that are fed by search. | Bill Murray | SAP Blogs | Under review | |
| 5 | Where can I define my preferred tags? At the moment I do no see any place in my profile settings to define such a list. Will there be something like a Tag cloud at the entry screen of "Questions & Answers"? | Christoph Hopf | Cross Platform (Metadata) | Re: Favourite Tags - Tag Cloud | Reviewed, reply given in the thread |
| 6 | I was testing the blog area and noticed that the old blogs don't show the views, it's 0. When new SCN is live are we going to see this information? | Raquel Pereira da Cunha | SAP Blogs | Under review Answer was communicated to Raquel | |
| 7 | When looking for a tag or a question in AnswerHub, even if you have a spelling mistake, you should get the closest relevant result | Gretchen Lindquist | Q&A and MetaData | Bug- Primary tag never found | Reviewed, reply given in the thread |
| 8 | There is no tag for the SAP Document Management space - SAP Easy Document Management is too specific a product. Need tag for capability/module. | Christoph Hopf | Metadata | On the roda map | |
| 9 | Having search filters in Archive (both for documents and discussions) | Veselina Peykova | Archive | Reviewed. [ Discussion is going on in the thread] | |
| 10 | Blogs from the current SAP Process Orchestration space are migrated to the SAP NetWeaver primary tag. This doesn't seem like an appropriate space as NetWeaver is a very wide area and therefore the blog is lumped with other non-related blogs in that primary tag. For the new primary tag, I'd suggest a naming that includes both the old product naming (Process Integration) as well as the new one (Process Orchestration) for the sake of continuity and "backwards compatibility". | Eng Swee Yeoh | Metadata | [BB]: We will remap the blogs to SAP Process Integration. Once (re-) migrated, additional tags can be added, or the primary tag can be changed (for example to BPM or BRM). | |

| 14 | What is the purpose have having SAP Blogs in the link text, when you link to a link on SAP Blogs | Jitendra Kansal | Blogs | Reviewed. We will add it to our requirements but not with high priority | |
| 15 | When you send a direct message from a members' profile page, it is not integrated as part of the SAP Relay queue on message.sap.com. My expectation was that it would be part of that list, and create an archive of the back and forth. May create confusion for others as well. | Caroleigh Deneen | Messages | On the roadmap | |
