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...

Remove the case-sensitivity check when an instance is launched in PFS Process Portal

As worked on case TS013115945, when a user is updated in LDAP from lower to uppercase of vice-versa, PFS and BAW does not update the user as expected since it checks the full path with no case-sensitivity… if it matches the exact same path, it’s s...
