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...
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

Hover over summary of space (roll up totals)

There is an existing capability in Blueworks Live where you can hover over a space title, in the space hierarchy view, and see some of the details within that space. I think having the total number of blueprints that roll up to that space would be...

Allow different options for downloading scripts

When selecting the “download scripts” button in the Tenant, an interface should open allowing you to choose parameters to filter the scripts. Ex: -Downloading all scripts (as it is today); -Download only scripts in production; -Download only the l...

Blueworks space/diagram creator history

System: Blueworks Live Actor: All Blueworks Live users Currently, the history of who created a space or a diagram is lost as soon as another person edits the space or the diagram. The history of who created the space/diagram is important to us bec...

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...
