Enhancement (UI): "Fix panes" / "pin" capability for the header, Actions and Information box of each Request - allowing scroll to only affect collapsible sections

[Berto2002]

I think it would be a productivity boost to have the 'top bar', Action bar and 'information' box of Request permanently visible when scrolling down the Request. My own preference is for a "pin" arrangement where each user can choose which of the 3 to have fixed; but perhaps with a default of the header being fixed.

Reasons:

1. Users often have multiple Requests open in various viewing positions and when flipping between them on tabs, they always have to scroll to the top to see which request we're acting upon
2. When viewing the timeline the analyst always has to scroll up to see the activities
3. When viewing anything further down, we lose sight of the status, sub-status, SLA, service, cat item, assignee and have to go up to the top to see them
4. The enhancement would mean all the actionable sections (action bar and activities) are always accessible at any time to the analyst, regardless of how far down they have scrolled; they can act referencing the timeline item they have just seen

This is flagged as an enhancement and has been seen by Development.

I'm not aware of any plans to place it in the queue currently, but if there are any updates they will be posted here.

Flagging to front of queue in case anyone else agrees 'pinning' the header bar, hub and info box would be useful in light of the new UI changes.

+1  - so effectively locking the container on the right-side to the screen and locking the top bar to the top.
