Pinned ideas

PINNED SQL statements in Dashboard Widgets
I think using SQL statements in widgets would be great to leverage the entire potential of the data uploaded to IBM Process Mining. Lots of important and helpful information cannot be displayed today as it's only SQL-like. I don't think that using...

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

    It would be good if the wording of an activity is not obscured when a task type is added, such as 'User Task', 'Decision Task', 'Service Task' etc. The wording of the activity should shift, so that it begins after the task type is displayed.

    This would benefit everyone who uses Blueworks, so that they do not need to hover over an activity in order to accurately read what the activity is. It should work by automatically populating the wording of the activity to begin after the task typ...

    Enhancement to restore initial thumbnail view within the GUI without the need to use "hotkeys" to return to a normal view.

    While in Datacap scan or verify UI with Thumbnail view enabled, we can toggle between pages of thumbnails and view the corresponding image. when we double click the page thumbnail to view a full page of the corresponding image, there is no way to ...

    Line breaks in activity text

    For instances like quoting an email address, it would be beneficial to enable Alt+Enter to force a line break in the Activity text. Sometimes spaces will work to present this (Example 2), but I have had instances where Blueworks ignores me after 2...

    For email notifications to be provided to the person who has launched a workflow task, if the workflow task is not completed by the task due date

    This would be useful to remind the user that a workflow task has not been completed. This would benefit the user in being able to contact the approver of the task and remind them of their overdue task. This could work by IBM Blueworks sending a da...

    Ability to send message from throw (send) message event to multiple catch (receive) message events in one or more processes

    In order for multiple spawned processes to be "linked" via send/receive message events, send event should be able to send message to multiple receive message events in one or more processes. Basically provide ability for "Multiple" event type.

    Text Annotation Using Rich Text Formatting

    The addition of Text Annotation is greatly appreciated and allowing rich text formatting would make it much more useful. (You give a mouse a cookie...)

    Analyze By Comments and Documentation

    Can only identify if an Activity Box has documentation or comments in Details if you open the Action box or view the process diagram in a documentation view. Would be great if the process diagram analyze feature also allowed the viewer to pinpoint...
