Top 3 tool features
Was training a new starter here the other day and was discussing which parts of the Teamstudio tool suite are the most valuable. The obvious answer is Configurator because it just saves so much time finding stuff in the design every day, but most people know about Configurator already. Most people also know about CIAO and it potentially saves a company more money than any other tool, especially when linked with Build Manager.
This discussion though was more about the hidden gems of functionality that most customers never discover or see the value of until they actually use the tool. One example is the audit functionality in Analyzer. Most customers use the documentation only and don't look at the audit, but the power of the audit to check parts of the design against pre-written rules or standards makes it a sort of automated code review, which increases the value to the development team many times over.
So this is where I throw this open to the readership; what are your 3 favourite features of Teamstudio tools? To get the ball rolling, here are mine:

So this is where I throw this open to the readership; what are your 3 favourite features of Teamstudio tools? To get the ball rolling, here are mine:
- Snapper's Undo Buffer - It saves having to remember to take a copy of the element before making a change. I didn't know about Snapper before working here and even though I've been developing in Notes for 14 years it has saved my bacon on more occasions than I care to remember. If only I had it 10 years ago.
- Design Manager's Code Snippets - Simple re-use of the little loops, lookups and handy bits of code that I have collected over the years. Up there with Configurator on actual time saved purely because I use it so many times a day.
- Validator's Resolver - Easily resolve data differences in documents. Having previously worked with a mammoth database with data quality issues I'd have loved to have had this to be able to sort out duplicate data entries. Other tools have similar functionality but the UI for Resolver makes it almost easy enough to give to users. In fact the whole of Validator almost makes the list as the way it can automatically find documents with problems on a daily basis meaning the end users have fewer issues to call the support desk for.
