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...

    Showing 2699 of 2699

    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...

    ODM RES Console Ruleset Statistics View needs to show 99% and 99.9% percentile also

    Currently ODM RES Console "Ruleset Statistics View" displays a flat average-response-time for a given session controlled by "Reset" and "Refresh". It would be much more helpful if we can see the response time for 99% and 99.9% percentiles also. Th...

    Enforce safe XML element names for user-derived IDs in Datacap services (SavePluginFilterService or wTM)

    Datacap uses user IDs directly as XML element names. Because there is no validation or constraint on ID format, invalid XML names (numeric-only, spaces, symbols, etc.) break downstream processing from one of customer which has numerical user id. P...

    IBM CMOD OpenShift Operator (Day-1/Day-2 automation, HA patterns, ODF-ready)

    Deploying and operating CMOD on containers still requires many manual steps (sizing, PVCs, routes, upgrades, backups, HA tuning). Inconsistent setups slow delivery and increase risk during upgrades and recoveries. Please provide a Red Hat certifie...

    Native JSON Ingestion & Indexing

    Modern apps and event streams emit JSON. Today, teams must pre-flatten or convert JSON (e.g., to CSV/XML) before loading into CMOD, which adds brittle ETL steps, loses nested structure, and slows time-to-archive. Please add a JSON ingest path acro...

    Official support for dual-FQDN operation in CP4BA / Cloud Pak for Data (Zen Front Door): external user FQDN + internal service-to-service FQDN

    Many regulated customers must separate end-user traffic from service-to-service traffic across security zones (e.g., Internet → DMZ vs. East-West inside the intranet). Today, Zen Front Door supports a single entry point. If we expose both an exter...

    Allow offline export/import of ADP projects between Authoring and Runtime environments

    Currently, deploying an ADP (Automation Document Processing) project to the Runtime environment requires a direct network connection between the Authoring and Runtime environments. This dependency can be problematic for customers with strict secur...

    JSON Support in Datacap

    Modern capture pipelines increasingly rely on JSON payloads (APIs, webhooks, ...). Today, handling JSON in Datacap requires custom scripts or brittle intermediates. Add native, high-performance JSON capabilities: Both Ingestion and Parsing
