Greenbyte Ideas

Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

  1. Use metadata for alert conditions

    I would like to use a metadata field (site and device) as an alert condition. In this case the capacity meta data field.

    Anyone who has more user cases where a similar scenario applies - please add your comments!

    At present, alerts can only be configured based on absolute values (e.g. MW) and not relative values (%). This means for every new site added certain alerts (e.g. grid curtailment) need to be duplicated and adjusted for the site specific absolute values. It would be easier if alert rules could be defined based on relative values and made applicable to all…

    Thanks for your feedback, this is a great request. It’s open for voting from other users.

  2. Audit trail of comments in the comments section in portfolio page

    Currently, we can only see one comment against the stop and it is often the latest update on the stop. To see a history of work undertaken to bring the turbine back online, it would be useful to have an audit trail of comments that can be saved somewhere in the back end. That basically means that when we use APIs to export the comments in status logs it only pulls the latest comment- like it does now but there should still be a provision to view the history of comments including user, date and time elsewhere in GEC.

  3. XML Upload Provision for Weekly Intervention Planning

    Workflow proposal;
    1. Operator receives weekly outage planning XML file from Enercon (et al.)

    1. Upload XML file to Breeze
    2. Site and Machine accesses are created by reading XML file data

    (Integrating this into write permissions for the API would be ideal)

    When you do a zoom in Data Studio, make that zoom applicable to all charts and not only the "over time" ones.

  5. Export data: add the option to edit existing exports

    Right now if a wrong setting is made in the export, the export must be done all over again. Adding an "edit"-Button to exports would solve this. It would also be helpful for recurring exports when the old export could be edited instead of using the template function.

  7. Upload emergency plans in Breeze

    It would be nice if emergency plans could be uploaded as a PDF in Breeze. It should then be able to put that on a dashboard of a wind turbine for example or be able to view it from 'Monitor wind turbine.

  10. Status Categorization miscelaneous filtering option

    Detailed description
    A few suggestions related to Status Categorization:

    1 - Be able to filter out Status Codes from being displayed. I may not want to see irrelevant status (untwisting) or too frequent status (curtailment) Same as filtering out status with time < xx 1 Add a Task combo to easily apply a Task to a Status Code (same as with Contract Category)

    2 - Bulk Assingment. Add a checkbox next to Status Code so you can select several Status and apply the same configuration at once (Contract Category - Comment)

    3 - When Expanding Status Codes - add a…

  12. User created content rights should be administrated not only by creator (Templates - Custom Dahsboards - etc.)

    As currently implemented - user created content such as Report Templates - Custom Dashboards - etc. - can only be administrated (VIEW and EDIT rights) by the creator.

    Problems:

    team work limited
    deleted users creates "zombie" Reports/Dashboards that cannot be administrated by anyone
    Suggestions:

    Users of the Administrators group should always have access to these settings - everywhere
    A third right could be added: VIEW/EDIT/ADMINISTRATE and distributed by creator/administrators among users

  13. Edit Status event from Status overview inside Data studio

    Normally, We use Status categorization for monitoring/editing/add comment in each of event occured in our wind farm.

    but sometime it's easier and quicker if we monitoring the status event by using Status overview which is sub-function inside Data studio.

    It would be really great if I also can edit/modify the status right from the bar graph of Status overview.

    Hope you understand what i mean.

  14. Administrate Alerts - Show severity

    It would be good to have a severity column when you administrating alerts, sometimes you want to add the severity, but you don't know which alert already has one, so you need to go one by one.

  16. Icing detection

    There is an existing idea posted in influence regarding the calculation of icing loss by the IEA Task 19 method, but there is no option to comment on it so I created this new topic.
    In order to achieve the calculation of icing loss, there should actually be an option to set up an alert that would generate "curtailment" statuses by the IEA Task 19 method.

  18. Adding dynamic tools to report

    We would like to have the option to add dynamic tools to the generated report. Moving away from a simple PDF view and being able to show more information, regarding low performance, detailed charts etc. Most of those widgets would be generated via PowerBI and added to the report as custom sections.

  19. The "New suggest / idea" should be reviewed.

    The New Suggest option must be reviewed and switched to a democratic system.

    Every time we suggest a new idea we received the same answer (copy & paste) saying: "We have great new features lined up that we can't wait to share with you. Unfortunately this request is not part of the roadmap".

    These kind of answers without a proper explanation and ignoring our requests and ideas, It affects our team in terms of working time and use of the platform.

    If you set up a democratic voting system you should wait at least 24 hours until everyone can vote…
