In the "Manage Gateways" page, allow some sort of organization of gateways and data sources. Data sources are currently arranged in the order they were added, which makes it harder to locate a source or manage multiple sources. Some sort of organization is needed, even if its just sorting them alphabetically. Ideally there would be options for searching, sorting, or nesting based on name, date, data source type, privacy level, user, etc.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

Totally agree. Ideally it would be possible to sort and manage in any way you want, i.e. creating sub folders, ordering by name, ordering by type, etc.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

I agree, we have over 100 data sources. We must have, at minimum, a sort for the sources. Thank you

RE: Organize gateway data sources

At a minimum alphabetical ordering. When I enter new data sources it does not even list them in the order they were entered. It's totally random.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

How are large enterprises supposed to use this in current state? Makes one wonder if Microsoft is even using this product. sigh

RE: Organize gateway data sources

Again these is basic stuff, surprised the Gateway has been out there for so long without this functionality.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

I do agree, this would be much helpful to manage mutiple sources.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

Agree. We need to be able to search somehow. The passwords are not easy to change with so many gateway/ data sources when you need to find one, and as for now we need to maintain a separated database with the information of the data sources name locally.

RE: Organize gateway data sources

Absolutely agree, alphabetically makes the most sense, and any way of organising with folders/nesting etc. would be hugely benificial

RE: Organize gateway data sources

Alphabetical + possibility to create folders would be really helpful
