    ODM RES "Creation Date" is from when the deployment artifact is kicked off from Decision Center and not when it was deployed to the RES.

    The "Creation Date" is from Decision Center, but from an audit perspective we need to be able to evidence when the ruleset was deployed to the RES. These times can be roughly the same if you push from directly form Decision Center to the RES, but ...

    ODM native support for password vault integration (ex. CyberArk)

    Currently, ODM requires passwords to either be hardcoded or injected on deployment. This has resulted in some custom code on our side because we aren't able to have ODM make a call to CyberArk using an Alias to retrieve the service account/passwor...

    Ability to view the BOM member documentation in the Model->Vocabulary view of BC when mouse hover

    Our business users find Model->Vocabulary view of the Business Console very useful especially as all the members of the BOM (attributes and virtual methods) and their verbalisation can be easily located in one place. We do also support our busi...

    Decision Center admin section should have placeholder to view all rules locked by different or specific users to unlock

    This is helpful when business users are accidentally locking the rules in case session expires and forgot to unlock them. In this case no one else will be able to work on the specific rule unless its lock is released by admin. Admin has difficulty...

    BC - Ability to better organise and manage queries

    When managing queries in the Business Console under a rules project, it is not possible to organise queries into subfolders or perform other tasks that are normally available for other decision artefacts, like locking/unlocking and filtering. Now ...

    Have an option to include a default output at the end of the table if no other conditions match. Similar to an else/default in a case/switch statement, but for decision tables.

    Our team had been using the otherwise keyword to achieve a similar effect, but apparently this only works consistently when there are no blank spaces in multiple columns or if everything is in a single column? It would be nice for developers to ha...

    ODM RES Console Ruleset Statistics View needs to show 99% and 99.9% percentile also

    Currently ODM RES Console "Ruleset Statistics View" displays a flat average-response-time for a given session controlled by "Reset" and "Refresh". It would be much more helpful if we can see the response time for 99% and 99.9% percentiles also. Th...

    Decision Center should have filtering criteria as toggle hierarchical view while authoring the rules

    Decision Center should have filtering criteria as toggle hierarchical view while authoring the rules. This helps the business user to filter the condition for the rule which they want to verbalize based on the Keyword. This was available in ODM Sa...
