Small wishes:
- Being able to double-click a line in the overview tab and have it bring up a filtered assets tab that shows what is in that station / system / region. (Basically, have it add the region / system / station to the current asset tab filter and change focus to the asset tab.)
- Adding a system security (-1.0 up through +1.0) column on the overview tab if stations or systems is selected.
- A drop-down on the overview tab to only show hi-sec, lo-sec, null-sec assets.
- A drop-down on the overview tab to only show a particular region (faster then flipping back to the asset tab and editing the filter). |

Ah hah, I will look for the right-click menu.
Mostly I'm just interested in "is that station null / low / high sec", so I don't need the true-sec at all. It would be the same security level information that is on the Asset tab that I'd like to see added to the Overview tab. |

On the "Industry Jobs" tab, is it possible to add an additional "State" filter which would show "Active or Ready or Pending"?
It would save having to flip between those 3 filters to figure out what is going to be ready and when (or that something is already ready). |

Does the SQL engine (or whatever database engine) underlying the assets tab allow for the SQL "IN" clause? I'd love to be able to say the following as a filter:
Name In 'Coolant', 'Enriched Uranium', 'Mechanical Parts', 'Robotics'
Which would let me do some queries that can't currently be accomplished. |

On the materials tab, it would be nice if it showed not only the total value and number of units, but also the unit price.
Could the "Summary" section could be moved to the very top of the list?
Can we add a +/- button on the black bars so that we can expand/collapse them at that level? Maybe with a double-plus button that expands not only the black section but also the grey sections underneath in a single click? How about being able to double-click on the grey/black background bars in order to expand/collapse them in addition to using the +/- button at the front?
(And thank you for adding the PI materials to the materials tab.) |

In 1.8.0 - the Meta field is now either "blank" or 2 (Faction) or 5 (Tech II). Which means that any existing queries that relied on the Meta field being equal to zero no longer work.
Maybe make "blank" = 0, or add a "Is Empty" comparison? |

Sort of a longer term wish here.
The ability to define, for a specific character, at a specific station, in a specific hangar a list of items that I want to maintain a stockpile of. Maybe as a Tools -> Stockpile mini-application.
1. Define the stockpile with a name, allow me to select a user or corporation for the owner, a system, optionally a station within that system and optionally a specific hangar. If the filter is defined as system-wide or station-wide, the tool should roll-up any piles into a single number. I won't care about specific locations in that case, just whether I have it in system somewhere.
I would probably have 2-5 stockpiles defined for a small corporation at different locations, possibly serving different purposes at the same location (such as a POS fuel stockpile, or a mineral stockpile, or a T2 production stockpile).
2a. If I right-click on an item elsewhere, I should be able to add it to a stock list. That would be how I would populate the list of what to stockpile.
2b. Alternately, let me add items to the stockpile list by typing in the item name on the Stockpile tab.
2c. Removal of items from the stock list would be done via right-click delete.
3. For each item on the stockpile, I'd want to see "how many I have", "how many I want", "difference", "unit price", "stockpiled value", "to be purchased value (how many I want)". Maybe total m3 in stock, total m3 needed to get a feel for hauling volume.
The status line should indicate total ISK value of "in stock" and total ISK value of "need to buy" along with the m3 volume for both categories.
Longer term:
- The ability to export the stockpile setting to an XML file for import by someone else who also uses jEVEAssets to help keep track of corporate assets.

To expand a bit more on that feature request while I drink my coffee and tend to my PI planet farms.
Right now, I can easily setup filters that tell me how much of something (or somethings) I have in a specific location, but it doesn't do a good job of answering the question of "am I short on stock". To get that, I either have to type the numbers into another spreadsheet where I have estimated my weekly needs, or I have to do the math in my head and constantly make shopping lists in a note.
As a for-instance: POS fuel. In order to keep the POS tower running, I need to maintain X units of nine different products (plus a stront reserve) in a nearby station to ensure that when it comes time to fuel the tower I have enough to meet the needs. So I would define a stockpile that looks at the station hangar and tells me whether I'm over/under stocked on the appropriate mixture to keep a tower running for say 2 months.
Then I would clone that stockpile plan and adjust it to report on each station where I maintain a POS tower fuel stockpile. So during a weekly audit, I could flip through the various stockpiles and see quickly that "system X" needs stuff while "station Y" has enough at the moment. Maybe I place an order with a fuel service, or I have one of my minions go fetch.
(A possible useful addition - some sort of "export buy qty to clipboard" report. Click the button and get something that you can paste into an EVE mail, one item per line. Each line with quantity and item name. A summary at the bottom with "estimated market value" and "total m3 to be hauled".)
I would probably also clone the individual stockpile plan and create a more generic one that would look at a specific region, across multiple star systems and stations as an overview sort of stockpile plan. This would be my "how are my overall strategic reserves looking?" plan. Maybe I'm short in system Y, but overall I have a lot of spare POS fuel in the system so instead of purchasing, I could just move fuel from one location to another.
Primary uses: - POS fuels (keeping N weeks of fuel on-hand as a reserve) - PI inputs for a factory planet (keeping N days of PI inputs on-hand to keep the factory running) - Manufacturing inputs (keeping N weeks of input materials stocked) - Other manufacturing type scenarios or invention - Anything that regularly consumes items on a daily/weekly basis

More thoughts on the stockpile page concept. Since you already track market orders and industry jobs, including those in the counts would be useful.
Let's say that I have a station where I always want to have 500 units of XYZ up for sale or ready for sale and I also want to have 400 of ABC stocked there or that there is a buy order (which can get messy...). So the stock plan might look like:
ABC stock: 400 inv: 50 manuf: 0 sell: 0 buy: 150 need: 200 - Goal is 400 units, I have 50 in the hangar, I have zero for sale, I have a buy order up for 150 units so I am short 200 units - We'll assume that the buy order will meet my needs for desired stock level - Ignore the range on the buy order, only look at where it was based out of for "location"
XYZ stock: 500 inv: 200 manuf: 50 sell: 200 buy: 0 need: 100 - Goal is 500 units, I have 200 in the hangar and I have 200 up for sale - I have another 50 being manufactured - I need an additional 50 units at that location

The ability by category (and possibly group) to force the use of base prices rather then market value.
Or a bit more sanity when pulling prices from eve-marketdata (Tritanium's price at the moment came back at around 5500 ISK/unit instead of the roughly 3.0-3.3 per unit price). But I suspect that's a bit more of a eve-marketdata or evemarketeer wish where they give us a weighted average of the top 5 market hubs rather then just reporting on Jita prices. |

Type ID 27 (rented office at a station) shows up in the asset list tab as "!27".
Stockpiles work fine at the system/region level for corporate assets within a corporate hangar, but when you tell it to look at a specific station, it fails to find anything. (Station XYZ, Owner "corp name", All flags, all containers) |

Ah, okay, now the "All" checkbox makes sense - I understand what you're trying to do...
A possibly slicker way, would be to initially list only the stations/systems/regions where you have assets, but add a special item to the top (bottom?) of the list saying "(show all stations/systems/regions)" which, when selected, would re-populate the list box with all of the possible stations/systems/regions. Then have, again, a special item at the top of the list saying "(show only my locations)".

A few more minor nits (but loving the feature):
- If I add an item to a stockpile from the assets tab, it would be nice if focus would not switch to the Stockpile tab. That way I can just right-click on the next item in my asset search and add it to a stockpile instead of tab-switching.
- Every time I add/remove something from the stockpile list, the tab forgets which stockpiles that I had collapsed. Makes it tricky to work with stockpiles that are at the bottom of the list.
- There's a definite slow-down in the GUI as you get into having 200-300 items across a dozen stockpiles.
- When a single stockpile has more then 2 dozen items, the Items->Edit method gets a bit unwieldy.
- Being able to multi-select items in the stockpile window, then right-click to add to a stockpile would be handy. Right now, when you do that, you get the little stockpile quantity dialog, which doesn't actually do anything. |

Story time, a.k.a. how Bob know thinks that he knows what is going on in his supply chain - which will probably turn around and bite him on the arse. Some of the stockpile lists that I now use:
Manuf (T2 Buy) - A list of all of the things like Ferrogel, Fullerides, Nanotransistors, Electronic Parts, the Carbides that I want to keep in stock so that I can make things from them. I've estimated out how many of each type I need to keep stockpiled in order to only have to go shopping weekly. Now I can run out of everything at the same time instead of running short on item A on Tuesday, buying it, then running out of item B on Thursday.
Manuf (T2 RAM) - Keeps track of my RAM stockpile so that I don't find myself short on that.
Manuf (T2 Datacores) - Same concept as the other stockpiles, to give me a quick look as to whether I'm about to run short on these. Ideally, so that I only have the minimum needed to keep the invention lines running all week without having to run to Jita or somewhere else in a panic.
Manuf (T2 Build) - A list of everything where I own the BPOs and can make the parts from stuff that I buy off the market. Such as the meta-0 items, or the additional components needed by the T2 BPC, or sub-parts that can be built from BPOs and used for multiple T2 items.
Manuf (T2 Metas) - A list of the various Meta 1-4 items used in my invention jobs, along with a desired stock level of each so that I can do at least a few days worth of invention of that particular item if the profits are good.
Manuf (PI Materials) - I keep the PI-sourced materials separate, some of it I make on my factory planets, other stuff I have to buy off of the market.
Manuf (Mineral) - The stockpile list of all of the basic minerals so that I have enough to make everything I usually make each week, plus a bit extra in case an opportunity shows up or a buy order takes too long to fill.
POS Fuel (location) - Two months worth of fuel at a particular location to fuel towers at that location.
Sales (location) - A list of what I want to always keep in stock on sell orders at a particular location. That way, when a sell order gets bought out, I know that it is time for me to put up a new one.

New wish for the stockpile color-coding:
Green - Total Stock >= Target Yellow - Total Stock is >= 50% of Target Red - Total Stock is < 50% of Target
That may need to be an option in the options menu, or (better) a per-stockpile setting. The thinking here is that "green = fat and happy, yellow = time to put some in the oven, red = needs attention".
2nd wish:
Add the "group" column in front of the "name" column in the stockpile list, then sort by group first then name. In some of my stock lists, I have a lot of different items listed and they end up mixed in with other types of things, which makes it a bit harder to see what is going on (without breaking it out to a 2nd list). |

1.9.1 looks good.
On the existing stockpiles, you will have to edit the stockpile and change the character. Instead of the owner being my alt's corp, it got changed to look at the previous member in the list (an off by one error?). Let's say that the list of Owners in the drop down looks like:
Sam Jack Corp ABC Acme Holdings Fred Bob
The "Owners" field in the "Edit Stockpile" used to say "Corp ABC Acme Holdings" in 1.9.0, after updating to 1.9.1, all of the stockpiles started looking for "Jack" as the owner instead. Editing the stockpile and changing the owner back to "Corp ABC Acme Holdings" fixes the issue and is an easy work around.
(Rather minor issue - unless it indicates a deeper bug. Although it does make me ask the question - what happens if you add a new account key which jumbles the list of people in the Owners drop-down list?) |

Is it possible, in the assets/stock list that if an item is inside a container within a particular station tab, that the item record's "Flag" field still reports "CorpSAG#" or "Hangar" instead of "None"? |

Sorry, I'll try to explain that a bit more. The issue arises because I have a corporate office, with multiple containers inside, which contain things that I want to track as a group, but I only want to see those within a specific corporate hangar tab. I don't want to count things in a different corporate tab.
Corporate Hangar - Tab #1 -- Container A -- Container B -- Container C Tab #2 -- Container D -- Container E
If the items were lying on the floor of tab #1, they would get tagged with a flag field of "Hangar". But as soon as they get put inside container A, their flag changes to "None". Same thing happens to items in the 2nd corporate tab; they would normally have a flag of "CorpSAG2" but as soon as they enter the container those item rows end up with a flag of "None".
If I want to create a stockpile that tracks Tab #2 contents, I'm kind of stuck because I can either look for items on the floor of that tab (CorpSAG2) or I have to create one stockpile per container. I can't have a stockpile that looks at both the items in Tab #2 and also looks inside all the containers within Tab #2. And I'm stuck using multiple containers, because you can't put more then 1000 items into a single container (and I have > 1000 singletons).
So I'm not sure whether you can adjust the flag field on-the-fly to inherit from the container's parent. |

I see #3 being the better choice. It makes sense that if an item's owner is within a particular corporate tab, that the contents of that container should also show up in the stockpile.
It would allow me to setup a stockpile which looks at a particular corporate tab's contents, without being blinded to stuff that has been sorted into containers for more organization / auditing.
Would this fix also affect the asset list tab? As in I could now create an asset search that shows me everything within a particular corporate tab, even if the stuff is inside a container? |

Right... I'm tempted to say #2 for the Asset tab and #3 for the stockpile feature.
In the asset tab, you could then easily setup a filter that says "Container" "contains" "CorpSAG2" and get what you want since the container field would be "Office # > CorpSAG2 > Container #". But that wouldn't really work for the stockpile feature, which is why I think you'll have to go with #3 for the stockpile tab. |

And another possible quickie.
On the stockpile page, a text box up by the New/Collapse/Expand buttons which would let me enter text which would filter which stock lists are shown by matching against the stock list's name. So I could, for instance, create 12 stock lists for different stations, different characters, different corps - with that information encoded by how I name the stockpile - then I could quickly filter so that I only show the (3) stock lists matching a particular string.
When I got past 30+ stockpile definitions, the list gets rather lengthy and I'm looking for a way to do ad-hoc filtering so that I'm only looking at stockpiles where the name contains a certain string. Doing it based on the stockpile's name field seems fast & easy. The field label might just be "Name filter: [text box]".
A slightly more advanced option would be to have (2) fields up there.
1) text box where you enter a search term
2) a drop-list which allows you to say whether the search term looks at the name / location / owner / flag / container attribute.
But I'd really just be happy with the basic "search the name attribute" and rely on the user naming their stockpiles in a way that provides easy filtering. |

Another small wish-list item for the stockpile preferences. Let me set the break-points between red/green or red/yellow/green manually. So the first line there would be:
(red) (textbox) (green) - where I could enter a value between 0% and 200%, with the default at 100%
(red) (text box) (yellow) (text box) (green) - where I could enter the two values (default of 50% and 100%).
What I'm finding is that I have to over-purchase to keep the lines green. I like green. Super-green.
The downside of the having to over-purchase is that it makes the copy-to-clipboard a bit less useful because I feel like I'm always behind on my stocks as bars are constantly going yellow (I use the tri-color). So with that option added, I would probably go with 40% and 80% as my break points because I like keeping the lines green.
(The defaults are fine, I just want different defaults.) |

A refinement on the above idea. The key issues that I'm trying to solve with the search box on the Stockpile tab are:
1) Being able to look at a select list of stockpiles (such as all of them that belong to character X, or are in location Y). In this case, I'm looking to return the entire stock list (and hide the non-matching lists).
2) Remembering which stockpile tracks a particular item. In this particular case, I'm looking for only the matching item detail lines to show up (along with their parent stockpile grey bars). The non-matching detail lines, or stockpiles which don't contain that particular detail line should be hidden.
However, #2 could probably be satisfied if #1 allows me to search for "item name" (stock list contains a particular item) in addition to "stock name", "location", "owner", "flag", "container". I'd still have to scroll through the list of detail items for the listed stockpiles, but it would cut the list from 40-60 stock lists down to a few and most of my stock lists contain only 10-15 items.

That would be a problem with the price data server that you're using. Someone has managed to game the price (or pull a temporary monopoly) which affected the price server. For stuff that you can only get through contracts (such as faction items) - go complain to the folks at http://prices.c0rporation.com/.
For the other, regular items, I generally find eve-marketdata's price method to be less prone to manipulation then eve-central's method. At least, for any item that sells in moderate to high volumes.
When you find something that looks mispriced, right-click "Edit - Price" on the item and put in something more reasonable. The downside is that it will never auto-update from the price servers again. |

I guess one more thing would be price data from jita system only, not The Forge as a region, because sell prices in the region can have significant variance with Jita 4-4.
Thanks for this software GG.
Pricing is an art and also a very fuzzy science. Do you want your prices to be based on "doomsday, must sell lots of stuff quickly to buy orders" or "this is about what it's worth, on average" or "this is what it can get if you put it up as a sell orders" or "I need to quickly acquire N units of this, how much will it cost". Some of the answers to those questions can result in prices that are up to 10-20% different from how someone else answers the same question. Plus, prices can fluctuate 5-20% from day to day.
Personally, in terms of accurate valuation, I prefer the "5% simulated buy" prices. Those look at the market, see how many units are available, then calculates the average of the cheapest 5% of the total volume available. For goods which move in quantities and which are stocked in large quantities, the "5%" price offers a fairly good statistic.
EMK calls this "sell_lowest5". EMD calls it "sell price". EC offers something close as "sell/percentile".
For instance, here are the various prices for minerals in all of the Forge using the above mentioned methods:
EMD - 4.49 5.10 56.73 67.74 521.87 761.00 2577.79 3769.96 EMK - 4.52 5.10 56.76 67.69 522.51 760.35 2579.65 3760.93 EC - 4.50 5.10 57.43 67.83 525.14 769.77 2583.81 3769.73
I've also been pressuring Callean (of EMK) to offer "trade hub" numbers (5% sim across the 4 primary trade hub systems) and "trade region" numbers (5% sim across the 4 primary trade regions). |

New wish for the clipboard feature of stockpiles. Right now, we get output that looks like:
105x Bouncer II 28x Curator II 292x Garde II 115x Warden II
Total m3 to be hauled: 22,290.00 Estimated market value: 1,196,745,031.10 isk
I would like the "Stockpile - Copy to Clipboard" button to ask me what percentage I want to fill the stockpile to, with the default being 100%. That way I could decide to overfill a stockpile to 120% or 150% or 200%, or maybe only fill it up to 80%. So instead of N=105x for the Bouncer II in the above example (target is 300, assets is 195), if I put in "I want to fill that pile to 150%" it should base the clipboard output number on "450" instead of "300" and tell me that I need 255 units.

Same - maybe we need "folders" so we can organize our asset filters into folders.

Looking at the eve-central XML API feed, they offer a "sell/percentile" which might be better to use as a pricing method. It's a number that tracks fairly closely with the EMD/EMK "5% sim" number.

EvE central is still being developed, but it's mostly behind the scenes stuff (I know - because Kaladr broke something this week *grin*).
EVE Addicts did just add a 5% simulated buy/sell number - but it's not yet part of the API. I'd suggest looking at their API in another month or so as an alternate source.

Would it be possible to have an option to value goods, say, for example, at Market Buy Minimum, with *outliers excluded*. So, essentially, could we have a checkbox to exclude outliers?
Of course, I know nothing of the statistics required, so good luck with that.
Thanks.
For EMK and EMD price sources, they already have something similar to this which is their "5% simulation" numbers. Basically, if there are 1 million units of item X on the market, they calculate what the average price would be if you bought the cheapest 50k units. Or in the case of buy orders, what the average result would be if you sold to the most expensive buy orders.
Which does a very good job of figuring out, for commodities and items sold in reasonable quantities, what the approximate price you would pay to buy this item off the market is. Goods in EVE only have value if you can sell them to another player.
Eve-Central also has a similar calculation called sell/percentile, which drops outliers, then calculates the average across what is left. It tracks reasonably close to the "5% simulation" numbers from EMK and EMD and I use it as a fallback number for my manufacturing profit calculations.
(I think there are already feature requests to add sell/percentile and the 5% numbers to the possible list of price sources.) |

Would it be possible to take into account open "want to buy", "want to sell" contracts in the assets and stockpiles?
For instance, if I have a WTB public or private contract for a particular module, it should count towards the buy order column in that stockpile.

I have not tried 2.4.0 yet, but one issue I ran into with the Stockpile window filters up top is that it's not possible to say:
"Surplus %" "Greater Than" "(value)"
The only options are equals / not equals for Surplus %. The "Surplus" column itself can be filtered as greater than / less than some value, but not the percentage. |

any chance of an ore (asteroid) tool? you have a great material one with minerals/PI but not raw ore - feel it would be a great addition as it could show total ore volume/value per station/system for us traders who place ore buys for easier courier/pickup.
I currently just sort by volume filter but this doesn't show the total amount of ore in a system/station..
My solution to that is to define a filter which only displays ore, then flip to the "Overview" tool to see total m3 / units in each region / system / station. |
