Hi there,
I don't know if this is a glitch or if only I'm facing this problem. But the outliner names don't update in the Quantifier Pro Objects window.

  Hi Manish - it is not really a glitch, just a design choice.  Only components will display their name, not groups.  If you want the name displayed, then you should convert the object to a component.  The problem with groups is that different groups can have the same names which presents a problem for reports, import, and export.

  A possible solution we could implement is to display both the group definition name and the instance name in the Object$ dialog.

  Great thanks Dale. 
  Good to know! I'll convert the ones I want to schedule to components. Makes sense too.. 
  Love the product. I'll keep you posted if I need any features. 
  Here's few:
  1. Ability to change the order of the column in the report settings 
  2. Ability to order elements from A-Z based on certain parameters. Like how we use the filter option on excel based on certain columns, etc

  It should be possible to re-order the columns of the Component Report by dragging them in the report.  I haven't tested this recently though.  The order should persist.

  You can also order fields A-Z.  However, for more complex sorting, it is recommended to export the report to Excel and then apply your filters and sorting as needed.
