Order of Hierarchy in Navigation doesn't seem to be correct

Example: Press Shop Asset is at the beginning of the hierarchy but is being displayed at the last in navigation.

If a user defines a custom property he is free to decide how to name it and what key should be used. The key is used as property name in the data model of the asset, which is created based on this custom property. As there aren't any limitations to what keys the user can define, he could use keys, which are already used as built-in properties. This can result in strange side effects.

For example if the user defines a custom property, which has the key type, he could by accident override the built-in property type, which is used to identify the asset type. There should be a blacklist, which contains keys, which must not be used by users and are marked as built-in.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create asset property with type complex property and add 3 key-value pairs
2. Save the asset property
3. Assign the property to an asset
4. Navigate to asset page and submit details for the respective asset and save
5. Now Edit the property and add 4 the key to same asset property, and it will not provide option to save it

Video displaying the occurrence of the issue

While I was able to use localization till now, but once I upgraded to 1015.0.0.312 i started getting error to "Configure the feature branding to use the translation memory."

I am already subscribed to feature branding but still getting error.

UI version: 1015.0.0.312
Microservice version: 1015.0.0.312

Issues are mentioned below,

1. When user is creating a custom property, and default value is already filled, then the moment user clicks on Max length check box, empty validation error is displayed for default value. It should be displayed only if the default value does not conform to the max length of characters.

2. When creating a custom property of type text, in minimum length field, user is able to reduce the value to lesser than 0 using the decrement icon. This should not be allowed.

3. If user selects type as a text and configures min & max length, it is observed that if they don’t provide value as per the condition then error message is being displayed only for min length not for max. Though user can’t provide text beyond max length.

4. Validation issue when creating custom property of type number. In case user provides a 2 digit number as maximum limit and enters a default value greater than that, then in validation message only the first digit is seen.

5. Validation for Key field is missing in the complex custom property. It accepts space/special characters as valid input.

1. Create an asset type with the simple custom property. Navigate to Assets page and create an asset hierarchy. Now navigate to subassets page, the custom properties of an asset is being displayed on right side of the screen.

Behavior observed: Only the properties value has been shown, which is not very clear for the user.
Expected behavior: Properties value should be shown along with the name.

2. Follow the steps mentioned in the above issue. Instead of simple custom property, create complex property.

Behavior observed: The property key is being shown as a property header under custom properties which is incorrect.
Expected behavior: The property label should be shown as a header.

3. If user deletes a property from the asset type which is used in an existing asset hierarchy and add another then the property which is added newly is not getting loaded under custom properties section in subassets screen.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download latest version of DTM from https://github.com/SoftwareAG/cumulocity-digital-twin-manager/releases
• Open Safari, Go to administration > Eco System > Upload Web application
• Upload works fine, a success message is shown
• =>However, opening the application does not work, there is an endless loading loop

Note: also re-login does not help. In other browsers it works, seems to be Safari related

In the Digital Twin Manager application, under Assets section, validations are missing for the below scenarios :

1. User is able to create 2 hierarchies with same asset name, this should not be allowed.

2. In Assets page, able to create Asset with blank name. This should not be allowed.

3. Asset names donot have any upper limit on the maximum number of characters.

1. Once the asset is created, later if user try to modify the custom property value, and if there is validation error, then the message is not displayed. It displays an empty validation.

2. The cancel option for properties is not working as expected. Edit the custom property and change the custom value and click cancel. Value does not get saved but when clicked on edit again, it shows the modified unsaved value which is incorrect.

Currently in DTM application the below issues are observed with respect to hierarchy creation and hierarchy structure :

1. Adding same device for different assets should be restricted. User is able to assign the same device to multiple Assets, which is not logical. This should be restricted.

2. Moving an asset outside it's parent should be restricted. Currently user can move an asset outside the parent and place it in a totally different asset hierarchy, which should be restricted.
   Eg : User can move the printer asset from under a Building and place it in Production line which is not relevant/ logical.

   3. When user tries to move an asset, it is observed that alert popup is getting displayed. Currently the following message is getting displayed on the popup "Do you want to move the group?", this has to be changed like "Do you want to move the asset?".

   4. A generic isseue observed throughou the application is that, user can create duplicate labels / names or names with whitespaces only. Both should be restricted.

Found on dtm-ui-1015.0.0.312 that Properties Tab getting displayed even when no properties are assigned
Tried with 2 separate tenants with different hierarchy

In DTM application, in any of the pages where a check box is displayed against the rows, user has an option to select all the rows using Select-all at top.

On click on this "Select all" icon, another link gets displayed asking if user wants to select all the rows in all the page. But on click of the option, the rows of other pages are not selected.

Either this option needs to be removed or the functionality has to work so that all rows gets selected.

Another issue observed is that in "Assign devices" page, (lazy loading is implemented here) on click of Select all option, only 20 devices or the number of devices loaded currently gets selected, which is not the expected behavior. Ideally on Select all, all the rows will have to get selected.

Asset Properties section keeps loading and doesn't display any data

Occurred after adding a 3rd complex property with 3 items.

After I deployed the webapplication zip file and selected Digital Twin Manager in the app switcher the App is not loading. I only see the turning wheel.

I'm on eu-latest.cumulocity.com

JS console says:

Hello Digital Twin Team,

Is there any more recent version of the Digitial Twin Manager that you can upload?

In the Asset configuration section below scenarios are allowed, which should not be allowed or user has to be notified regarding the same :

1. Since the same assets and devices can be assigned to different hierarchies/ assets, deletion of these asset or devices from one asset/ hierarchy will affect the other assets/ hierarchy. And the user is not notified about the same.

2. Deletion of an asset type, used in an existing asset is allowed, which is wrong. No user notification received.

3. Deletion of an asset property, being used in an asset type is allowed, which is wrong.

User is not notified about the same.

Added Digital twin Admin permission to existing Global Role assigned to my profile. Import Assets link on the assets page is still missing.

In DTM application, navigate to Localization page.

1. On hover over , edit icon is not getting displayed for translation field. Scenarios are mentioned below.

   a) If user configures all the columns.

   b) If translation text is too long.

I'm assuming we could create, update, delete Asset hierarchy/models etc using the Managed Objects API. Is that correct?

Is there any documentation for JSON schema other than reverse engineering it from the sample https://github.com/SoftwareAG/cumulocity-digital-twin-manager/blob/main/samples/sample-asset-models-for-vaccum-factory or exported models

We'd like all of our changes in Cumulocity to be scriptable.

Description

I have defined an asset model "building". The asset has a complex asset property field "c8y_Position" (not required), including the properties lat (Number, no default value) and lng (Number, no default value).

When defining the asset property field, the UI shows the preview of the data model as follows:

{
  "c8y_Position": {
    "lng": "",
    "lat": ""
  }
}

Why are lat and lng defined as text string?

How to reproduce the bug

Once I start to create a new building asset without defining the property c8y_Position, I observed different behaviors:

1. Leaving the input fields for c8y_Position untouched, the created asset object has the c8y_Position property defined as noticed above with an empty string as value.
2. When I first enter a value in the input field, remove it again, click on the create button, then the c8y_Position property of the new asset looks like this:

{
  "c8y_Position": {
  "lng": null,
  "lat": null
  }
}

Expected behavior

Because the properties lat and lng are defined as type Number, I would expect to not try to cast those as string text field, when the field is empty. I would expect to define the values lat and lng as null. So from my perspective, the correct model should look like this:

{
  "c8y_Position": {
    "lng": null,
    "lat": null
  }
}

Switching between two complex properties in the property library without clicking on cancel in-between will display an empty property. (v.1014.0.7)

In Property library page If the property label is too long then in list, label should be displayed with ellipsis and hover over on the label entire text should be shown as a tooltip text.

When I am trying to upload microservice dtm-ms-1016.0.0.561.zip (downloaded from latest release) , I am getting the following error : Microservice application name is incorrect: only lower case letters, digits and dashes allowed. Maximum length: 23.

The navigator logo will not be displayed, if the DTM is used with a custom branding. (v. 1014.0.7)

Unable to subscribe to microservice via file dtm-ms-1016.0.0.561.zip

Tenant Type: New tenant without any application or microservices related to DTM

I'd like a widget that uses the Digital twin asset model/hierarchy and combine that with measurement & event/alarm data.

Are there any existing widgets or sample code that support this?

Ideally I am wanting something that supports expand/collapse of the hierarchy, and filtering by asset type.

Otherwise I'm assuming I'd need to create a custom widget and use the API to query the asset model... correct?

I would like to add child devices to an asset but I'm unable to do so:

I would expect to see the show child button to be able to add child devices to an asset.

Information:
All my child devices are not marked as c8y_device because they don't need device management functionalities.
DTM version: 1015.0.0.318

In Asset Overview page, When there are more than 10 entries in page and user selects "select all" checkbox on top, there is an option that says "select n entries". [n in total number of assets]. But when clicked on this, it does not select all entries.

This is the case for all pages with Pagination option.

In DTM application, the below validation issues are observed :

1. In Asset types page, when creating an asset type for "description" field, we can have an upper limit on the maximum characters allowed. This limit can be based on the total length of text displayed when user hovers over the description tab and the maximum text that can be displayed in the hover pop up.
2. When creating an asset type, user has an option to create a custom property field as well. When clicked on create new custom property option, Save button is getting enabled even though required field is empty.
3. Currently in Asset type page, the confirmation pop up and the success notification on deleting an asset type is different when we delete the asset type via check box and via delete icon. Uniformity has to be maintained.
4. When creating a new asset type, In the notification pop up for Asset types, the key is being used instead of label.
5. When creating an asset, the validation message displayed is blank, incase it violates the rules mentioned in Custom property. Validation messag has to be displayed.

Screen recording of the same is visible in this file: screen-recording(1).webm

When adding a subasset to an asset you can navigate to the asset and see its properties (with the bug of not having the labels that is already reported) but if you click on a subasset you only see the devices assigned and no the properties of the subasset.

I think is a bug but i cannot label the issue.

Even when both the file types .PNG and .png are allowed, the platform gives error when uploading a .PNG file

Renaming the file extension works immediately

It would be nice to have the possibility to order complex properties after creation.

In DTM application the beow issues are observed :

• The asset count displayed at the bottom is not correct. Instead of count, a variable gets displayed which is not the expected behavior.
• In Assets page, the no filter label and the help icon for filters have to be removed as there is no filter option in this page.
• Currently in all the screens where configure column is available, user is able to deselect all columns which should be restricted.
• When creating an asset, for next button to be enabled, user has to click outside the form. This is the behavior for all forms.
• If there are more than 20 Assets, then it does not get displayed on the grid. User is able to see the same in left pane though.

Custom properties reordering doesn't seems to be working as expected

Backend: 1015.0.218
UI: 1015.0.79

Screenshot

Currently the README.md does not explain a couple of important steps for the installation of DTM:

1. It is not explained when (if you want to use the CSV import feature) & how to install the microservice
2. After installing the microservice, roles must be properly configured. How this can be done should also be documented (or better automated).
3. The import feature might also fail if old asset type definitions are used. This should also be explained.
4. For the localization feature, the Feature branding needs to be subscribed. It would be good to a) explain this in the README.md as well and b) only show the localization feature within DTM if the Feature branding is indeed subscribed.

Furthermore, it would be nice to improve the error messages within the UI so that users can resolve issues more easily. Currently, when trying to download a template you will always get the same error message: "Unable to download the template"

After the creation of an Asset you create some subassets and they are not displayed with their icons but with the folder normal icon.

I think that's a bug but i cannot add a label

As a suggestion, when you are using Digital Twin Manager in a tenant that already has some folders, the folders are shown in the DTM and messes up the assets configured through DTM and the older assets. There should be an option to hide the folders that doesn't have an asset type defined in DTM

Screenshot added

Try to create a hierarchy. While adding assets, try to assign device and click on any device name. You will notice that the whole flow breaks as soon as you click on the device name and there is no way to go back

One workaround could be clicking on device name should open the device page in next tab.
