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)

The issue is that, when you create a search that has property groups, as long as the search is in Edit mode by the creator/owner of the search the Boolean operators within the group and between the group and the individual criteria are visible. Bu...
