Pinned ideas

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

    Allow configuration of automated check of properties on Process BluePrints

    We have some properties that we require to be populated in certain instances. Right now we manually review for these to be present. It would be great if there were an option to automate these checks. For example, if Custom Property #1 is populated...

    Add LSW_TASK.READ_DATETIME attribute to TWTask JS API

    I have a customer requirement to capture the date/time a task was claimed, but it appears that the only way to obtain this data is from the READ_DATETIME column in the LSW_TASK table - it is not exposed via the TWTask JS API. It would be very help...

    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...
