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...

    Chatbot data source for Dashboard

    The Dashboard feature of IBM RPA does not have a dedicate data source for chatbots. Creating dashboards for chatbots that use guided user interaction (i.e. limited options for the user) is simple enough, just using counters is enough. For chatbots...

    It is currently not possible to create or delete folders with the IBM RPA FTP commands and this is something very basic that other tools like Automation Anywhere v11 have. When we are working with a file server, the need to manipulate folders is e...

    Enable the Content Collector SharePoint API to leverage Graph Site Selected permissions to isolate access to individual sites instead of across the entire tenant to minimize risk exposure.

    We have a sharepoint list and script that allows App APIs a certain permissions level. If ICC Azure App can leverage graph API site selected permissions, we could minimize access to only the sites we grant access to.

    ACCE shouldn't pull the entire Isolated Region configuration initiating a Workflow Search

    When a CPE environment has a lot of objects (queues, rosters, event logs, etc.) in an Isolated Region, initiating a new Workflow Search in ACCE will take a long time. This is not noticeable when a smaller number of objects exist, but gets exponent...

    Prevention of service flow call within context of inactive snapshot

    Service flows on inactive snapshot could be unavaiable to call using REST interface. E.g. When URL-runnable human service X is using service Y (configured as "Allow calls from trusted callers"), the Y service is callable by REST using callerId of ...

    Create new data groups with OR condition on BAI

    The inability to create a new data group with OR instead of AND prevents the display of all the data on the dashboard make it impossible to "merge" data when using multiple tracking ids. We need a way to either merge tracking ids data or just crea...
