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
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...

Enable wTM service to process all request headers in lower case

This request is to enable wTM API services to comply to the networking standards (RFC 2616 Sec 4.2 and RFC 7230 Sec 3.2) which state that HTTP headers are case insensitive. This issue was identified during our testing with IBM Cloud Load Balancer....

Enhancement: Add GUI for GraphQL version 5.6

The previous version 5.5.12 of GraphQL had a GUI. It was much harder to do the install without the GUI, searching for all the values to fill in. Generating and then running each XML file was painful.

Enable dynamic human task creation in ad hoc process instances using Flexible Processes in BAMOE v9.x

Submitting on behalf of a customer who is migrating business projects from BAMOE v8.x to v9.x. Their solutions rely on CMMN’s ability to dynamically create human tasks during runtime. This functionality is not currently available in BAMOE v9.x Fle...

When customer is adding an annotation, it automatically defaults to bold font. Can we have a setting to change that default behavior and not have it default to bold.

This would be useful for all users as they would not have to change the font from bold. This takes time when processing 100 documents a day.

Users should have the ability to cut and paste an annotation. They cannot do this at the moment.

Enables users to work faster and complete more documents in a day.

When customer clicks on an annotation the cursor does not go to the location that is clicked and the user needs to toggle to the correct position which takes time and lowers the users output for the day.

When there is a large annotation, it takes a long time to move the cursor to the exact position that I need. It would save a lot of time to click on a specific location and have the cursor in that exact position.

Customer clicks on a text box to add an annotation. Once the annotation is saved the box around the annotation is still visible. Customer does not want to see the box, just the annotation.

This would be useful for customers that want a clean annotation that they want to send to customers.

In ODM 8.12 API "import decision service on top of the existing branch" is not removing the deleted items from the existing branch

We published a decision service to Decision Center by using the API "/v1/decisionservices/import". Then, in Rule Designer we deleted a rule and created a new ZIP for the decision service. Now, we used the API "/v1/decisionservices/decisionServiceI...

we use Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes on top of our RHOCP environment, and we're looking for an alternative to netcat which is used in the liveness probes by Kafka in BAI functionality

To summarize our observations and the joint session findings: The Zookeeper container includes the Netcat binary, and it actively uses Netcat to discover other Zookeeper pods during startup. ACS detects this behavior and kills the pod, which preve...
