5. Capture from Streaming Data Sources (Apache Kafka) - Capture data from streaming data sources like Apache Kafka. 

6. View Sample Data Within a Data Store - Provide preview of sample data stored within a data store while in Edit within data store. 

7.  Improved Help Capabilities Via Context Based Help - Context based help that allows for search and easy navigation.

8. Admin Console for System Diagnostics - Admin Console that would help provide system and environment diagnostics for either cloud or on-premises deployments.

9. API Support - Improved API access to data stores, data views, and external data sources.

10. Pre-built Dashboards for Data Quality - Out-of-the-box dashboards that are pre-built for data quality metrics. 

Ability to Launch Assure User Reports from DQ+ / Print entire dashboard into a report like result (pdf). 

1. Know the Created Date and Modified Date of an object in DQ+ (Analysis, DataStores, Data Views etc). Preferably in the "Edit Settings" popup where the UUID of the object is displayed. 

2. The Execute drop down in DQ+ should not have the "Executions" option as the users often click on Run/Rebuild in an attempt to view executions. The "Executions" can be moved to "Watch" option instead. 

The Rebuild button “which will truncate the output datastore” is located next to the Run button. Our production system is currently manually operated and resources are clicking the Run button on a regular basis. Hence, either the Rebuild button has to be located somewhere else or it needs to have additional check /pop up window prompting to confirm that Rebuild wasn’t executed due to human error.

3. Node Copy and Paste feature within Analysis or PM

Example: 

- When a filter node is copied and pasted in the same analysis, the filter condition and the input output connections can also get copied. The connections can be changed if required.

- When an SQL node is copied and pasted in the same analysis, the table alias can come up as blank with an error, however, the sql statement and the output columns should get copied. This will avoid tedious task of creating all the output fields on a new SQL within the same analysis. 

- Joins and JS nodes - same as above.

This copy and paste function can be restricted to some of the nodes like Co-Groups, Select etc. 

4. Data Delete action without confirmation

Data store >> View Stage >> View Content >> Delete All Data -----> No confirmation is asked but the whole data store is wiped clean. This action is irreversible and the only fall back is disaster recovery. 

Data store >> View Stage >> View Content >> Highlight a work ID >> Click on the delete icon on that row -----> No confirmation is asked before the data related to that work ID is deleted. This action is irreversible and the only fall back is disaster recovery. 

It is preferable that both the actions above and any such delete actions have a confirmation pop-up before deleting the data.

Option to copy paste components from another analysis to current analysis in DQ+

While creating a new analysis in DQ+ we may have to use components like datastore/Group by/Join/Sql etc. which would already be present in another analysis that can be reused. If we are given with an option to copy the components from reference analysis and paste in current analysis then we need not do re-build.

Improve Permission Report

Currently the Permission Report (main menu/Admin/Reports/Permission Report) lists the unqualified name of the object for which permissions are being listed. If there is more than one object with the same name, they are indistinguishable. An improvement would be to add a column with the path to the object (or prepend the path to the object name, perhaps). Another improvement would be the ability to export to CSV or Excel in addition to PDF.

(This feedback is based on DQ+ version 3.3)
