PINNED SQL statements in Dashboard Widgets

PINNED Filter UI enables having OR between filters (not just AND)
Users want to filter cases for client1 OR client2. They can't without creating a custom filter with javascript -- which they don't like at all

Show the status of a sweep in the list view of ACCE. Show if it is enabled and if it is completed or still running. The completion status would not apply to Sweep Policies

Patch ruleapp deployment for rule releases

Instead of generating a full ruleapp jar all the time, if a patch file is created to deploy only the new changes (for both rule execution server and embedded execution, also for both file-based and DB-based deployment), it may help to optimize the...

Attachments size limit

My idea is to introduce an option to set an attachment size limit, so the account Admin can specify how many kB can have an attachment. It could be a part of account Customization in the Admin area.

Add the user role as an input to the service cache

the current caching mechanism in BAW is not designed to take the user's roles into account when serving cached data. The caching mechanism uses only the service's input data as index for cached data. Our business requires the caching mechanism to ...

Provides custom read LDAP attribute function

The user's ldap attribute value can be obtained through "tw.system.user." in bpm. Now, we want to get other LDAP attributes of people by this command, for example: o, ou. Hopefully IBM will add the ability to custom read LDAP attribute values.
