Autocomplete Polarion Input

The Polarion extensions developed by us - we market them under the brand name UPPS! Extensions - enjoy the reputation of being very efficient, easy to use and always reliable little helpers in the daily work with Polarion.

We are planning to develop a new UPPS! Extension: Auto Complete, AC for short. The idea is to assist users in filling in Polarion fields by automatically completing texts.

The best-known example of this technology is probably the quick selection of users in Outlook: Typing @ shows a list of all known contacts, one of which can be selected. If you continue typing, the list is filtered according to the name, email, domain, etc., and selecting a list entry automatically converts the content into a link. We currently have the following ideas for Polarion:

Special character	Reference	Autocomplete	Application examples
@	User	Users whose names or IDs correspond to the input text	Insert user (with link), for example to name him as the author of a comment
$	User	Users whose names or IDs correspond to the input text	Insert user (with link), for example to name him as the author of a comment, supplemented by the current date and time
!	Workitem	WorkItems whose titles or IDs correspond to the input text	Insert link to a searched WorkItem
:	WorkItem	WorkItems which are located in Live Documents of a configurable type and whose titles or IDs correspond to the input text	Insert link to a WorkItem which is located in a glossary or a standards directory, for example
#	Baseline	Project- and module baselines	Insert link to a project or module baseline
/	Command	Commands which complete predefined content	Insert the current date according to time zone UTC+2

In Polarion, this could look as follows, for example:

Please feel free to tell us what you think of our project, whether you can imagine it as a useful little helper in your daily work with Polarion. And we would be particularly pleased if you could contribute ideas for improving or enhancing our project. Please send your feedback to service@upps-ext.eu with the subject Auto Complete Feature Feedback.

Of course, we don't want anything for nothing: We will be giving away 3 licenses, valid perpetually for all Polarion users of each winners' company, among all those who have reported an improving or advanced idea to us by January 31, 2025, which will become part of the product profile of the new UPPPS! Extension Auto Complete. The draw will take place on 31.05.2025.

We look forward to your feedback and keep our fingers crossed for the prize draw.
