Ignition Features and Ideas

The current docker-entrypoint.sh supports restoring a gateway backup when the image loads, but it does not support passing the --local parameter with the backup to include the local configuration on restore. When passing -r to the script it only accepts a file name, even though gwcmd.sh supports restoring a backup with local configurations by passing --local. This feature is really useful if the gateways share the same certificate authority for SSL and for cases where the UUID needs to stay the same on restore.

Implement support for a dual authentication system in the event there are communication issues to the authentication service. In this case, the authentication can fall back to using local accounts

A method to build redundancy on top of redundancy for critical systems using geographically separated redundant pairs or individual nodes

Create a hardware recommendation tool of some kind. Fill out an automated form with the use case info and it spits out minimum requirements.

Improvements to listing gateways in Ignition Designer Launcher such as reordering, sorting, small icons, list, or grouping. Especially needed when administrating many gateways

Add an inbuilt alarm scrolling marquee to perspective. Ideally with the option to scroll vertically or horizontally. Can currently be worked around through use of animated style classes.

Copy/paste or export Global Find results. I often have many results in the global find window, and cannot "click through" the find dialog to everything that it finds, and even if I could, there might be more than I could do at once. Need to be able to copy/paste the find results into an external document, or export it.
