I find myself having to define fields and columns multiple times for use in grids and data sources.   It would be nice to be able to use a single structure that would work for both.   The visible setting would control if the field is displayed in the grid or not.   

For example:

    _myColumns = [
        { field: "Position.Name", title: "Position", width: 20, type: "string", editable: true, visible: false },
        { field: "Headcount.value", title: "Headcount", width: 15, type: "string", editable: true  },
        { field: "FTE.value", title: "FTE", width: 15, type: "string", editable: true  },
        { field: "EmployeeName.value", title: "EmployeeName", width: 50, type: "string", editable: true  },
        { field: "JobCode.value", title: "JobCode", width: 20, type: "string", editable: true  },
        { field: "JobTitle.value", title: "JobTitle", width: 100, type: "string", editable: true  }
    ]

then, this can be used in $().kendoGrid( { columns: mycolumns } ) and the data source $().kendo.data.DataSource( { fields: mycolumns } ). 

sparklines are important data visualization that is missing. would be great to have it. you can take inspiration from http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/#s-about

The possiblity to have a slider on graphs. We have a lot of data to graph and presently it just makes the columns or bar smaller trying to fit everything in the area allowed. if needed I can send an exemple to show what we would like to have. 

| category 1  | category 2  |
|----------------|----------------|
| col 1 | col 2 | col 3 | col 4 |

How about a easy way to build reports like invoices, labels, etc?

Hello,

There are not many templates available for creating Mobile App using Kendo UI. Are there any plans on providing some templates like the one themeforest offfers?

Thanks,

Make the download more robust and simple

Save the state in partial postback

It would be great if users could hide or show columns. Typically this would be done by a popup with on the right a list of all displayed columns, on the left a list of all hidden columns. Users move columns to the right or left by using arrows, double-click or drag-drop. In the same pop-up they should be able to change the order of the columns.

It could be really nice if kendoui played well with twitter bootstrap, and widgets could be set through options to use the twitter bootstrap class names for buttons (.btn) etc. by a simple switch.

In your Grid docs here:  http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/framework/datasource/configuration.aspx

The section on 'update:' doesn't actually show 'update:".  It shows 'read:'

The Grid docs also do not have a good example of where the data for an 'update' comes from.  For example I'm using Rails with MongoDB and I am currently getting an error b/c it says by JSON sent to the server is ill formed.  

"Started PUT "/users/4f98846bd51d1d3903000001" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-04-25 23:51:30 -0500
Error occurred while parsing request parameters.

                     (right here) ------^

but with the examples I have no way of figuring out what is the cause on the client side.  It's not fleshed out enough for me to know the right way to fix it and where in all the settings I can do how to fix my JSON.  Which by the way from all I read, the issue is that the params are not compliant with the JSON spec.  They are getting sent down as args, but not JSON args.  Just a string that isn't nested in the proper brackets. "{ ..... }" I assume.

Anyway, that was an example of the kinds of things that the docs need more info on.  Why is the edit data that I am pushiing in the 'update' going as a string that isn't valid JSON even though I specified it is supposed to be JSON, and what way do I intercept it and wrap it to be conformant?

I'd like to be able to catch more points during the databinding and rendering portions of a widget to allow for customization, such as modifying a row on a datagrid, or a render event that could kick off other work. 

The alternative could be a way to inherit from existing controls and the ability to stub in methods as needed.

Currently you cannot link from a view in Page1.html to a specific view in Page2.html. You must always load the first view of Page2 first.

There may be cases where you need to fully refresh / reload a remote view  after CRUD operations instead of amending the data in the view via ajax / jquery.

In my case I had already built an application and hoped I could plugin Kendo Mobile UI for a mobile version, but have ended up having to change the way the application works to use the Datasource component.

So if purging loaded remote views cache is something that may be considered for future releases, that would be great.

The Globalization cultures contain the zero-based UTC date format "u".
However, when parsing or formatting a date using this "u" format, a wrong date comes out.
The local hours are not offset to the zero-based UTC format. End-users will see a wrong local date parsed from a UTC date,  and a wrong UTC date formatted from a local date.

Please add proper UTC support to Kendo UI.

It would be great to have file manager support in addition to the image manager for the HTML editor. Some sort of way to upload resources, organize them, crop (for images), and ultimately select from a picker to be included in the HTML markup. 

I'd like to be able to have a very compact validation message - just the icon, and a TITLE that is visible when the user hovers over the ! icon.

There should be an event on the validator to be notified when validation triggers.

Would be nice with some sort of table support in the rich text editor. Normally we need a very stripped down RTE since it only represents a part of a page (a block), so the bells and whistles of tinymce are a bit overkill.

However it seems that even though it might be difficult to use in an RTE due to complex UI, we often get questions regarding how to insert a table into a text. Not a complex table, but just a simple table with maybe a class, some th and td's.

It would be really nice if we could stop integrating tinymce and just stick to one library, with a little more beefier RTE in Kendo UI. :)

Ability to use template apposed to field(s) in dataTextField and dataValueField. This feature will make control more flexible and customizable on client side.
