Auto Fetch Availablity
With the Fetch update, I wondering if it would be possible to create an Auto Fetch feature. As a warehouse and inventory manager, I use the mobile app while in the warehouse for pull sheets, manifests, etc. When I am using Flex 5 for desktop, 90% of the time I open a pull sheet or quote, the reason I am using the desktop version is to look at availability. Having to click Fetch every single time I'm on the desktop is going to be very inconvenient when I almost always want to see availability.
I understand this was done to help reduce stress on the servers because not all users need to see these numbers at all the time. But I imagine there are other users who would like the option to opt in to an Auto Fetch feature since they are also needing to keep an eye on availability at all times.That way, most users would be opted out of an auto fetch option, achieving the overall reduction in traffic to the servers, while users who want or need to see that information every time don't have to manually Fetch the availability.

100% Agree with this. Please don't make it harder for me to do the primary function Flex was chosen by our company, which was to manage our inventory and know if there were going to be shortages. I understand the reason behind it, but a switch of auto or manual fetch, per user account could still decrease activity and not hinder those who live their lives in the product. It also terrifies me that my sales team now has another excuse for overselling.
