    Idea has been promoted to epic BWL-1-202 targeted for Q2 release pending design and additional discussion with Citi

    Hi Hector, would you expect this to be executed at an account level, space level or Blueprint level or all ? We would need an overall ' birdseye' view of all the policies so we would need to think about the UX element as to where this sits, does Citi have a point of view here? However, from a basic request this is something that could be created technically. Let me know how Citi would like to see this feature positioned in BWL today, or better still, arrange a quick discussion for us to talk to them direct. Many thanks
