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...

    Native JSON Ingestion & Indexing

Today this requires custom scripts or generic IMAP/EWS workarounds that don’t support Graph-specific features (delta sync, throttling controls, large attachments, change notifications). This increases delivery time, fragility, and support costs.

    Ship a first-class Microsoft Graph source connector with: Auth: OAuth2 (App-only client credentials) + delegated optional; tenant & conditional access friendly. Mailbox scope: user mailboxes, shared mailboxes, groups; include/exclude via filte...
