Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?
"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.
BetterSoftwareSuggestions.com is proudly maintained by myself and the developers at SSW."
It would be awesome if we could see who added or configured a widget on an Application Insights dashboard.
When a widget has appeared on the page and you would like to speak to the person about the purpose of it, it would be nice to see an “Activity Log” or “Dashboard History” page.
Microsoft Teams suggestion – Help me find the highlight and font color
I expect no-one uses these 2 buttons regularly like they do in Outlook and Word. Therefore I think if you look at the current status of usage, these icons would not be used that much. If you were to change them to look just like Microsoft Word I’d bet the usage figures would go up.
Please consider using the same colour on the highlight and font colour icons
(Please tell me if I got this wrong and it is for the Microsoft Forms Team)
In Teams, you may have mistakenly moved a Microsoft Form into the team and now you want to get rid of it… but it is quite invisible.
Can you add an easy way to get to this screen (on the right)? Maybe add a 3rd option (after Rename and Remove) called “View this Form on Microsoft Forms | Group Forms”
When looking at form responses and seeing “Respondent x” it is an unpleasant experience.
This happens when you change the form to be available outside the organization. Now all responses are anonymous.
This should not happen for the internal employees.
Suggestion to Microsoft: Please add a new setting that requires you to log in to a Microsoft account before submitting a response (could be your Domain eg. SSW or personal). Then we can share the Form externally, but also store the internal employee names on the submitted form (essential for follow up questions).
Nasty workaround: Add an extra question to the form asking who it is, but that still wouldn’t give us the email address… So we would need to add another question for that too.
When you have 6 options like this, and one is “Other”, the users will type answers and then you want to read them. The problem is if, in the answers, you don’t give numbers or letters for each choice…
Tip: To avoid this problem and make it easier than find the others add “1. 2. 3 etc” or “A, B, C, etc” See Rules to Better Microsoft Forms
