The full‑text search feature requires the OpenSearch component to be deployed. However, there is no option to customize the OpenSearch PVC sizes. By default, OpenSearch reserves 200 GB of persistent storage, even though the actual storage consumpt...

Make DNS resolution behavior configurable for FileNet P8 CPE directory configurations when using LDAPS

FileNet Content Platform Engine currently resolves configured LDAP/LDAPS hostnames into individual IP addresses when a DNS alias with multiple A records is used. This behavior is acceptable for standard LDAP failover scenarios, but it creates a li...

When customer is adding an annotation, it automatically defaults to bold font. Can we have a setting to change that default behavior and not have it default to bold.

This would be useful for all users as they would not have to change the font from bold. This takes time when processing 100 documents a day.

Users should have the ability to cut and paste an annotation. They cannot do this at the moment.

Enables users to work faster and complete more documents in a day.

When customer clicks on an annotation the cursor does not go to the location that is clicked and the user needs to toggle to the correct position which takes time and lowers the users output for the day.

When there is a large annotation, it takes a long time to move the cursor to the exact position that I need. It would save a lot of time to click on a specific location and have the cursor in that exact position.

Customer clicks on a text box to add an annotation. Once the annotation is saved the box around the annotation is still visible. Customer does not want to see the box, just the annotation.

This would be useful for customers that want a clean annotation that they want to send to customers.
