Request for Enhancement (RFE) Voting

[Lynn]

IBM are actively encouraging people to use the RFE site to help guide their product development activities. You need an IBM ID which is free and easy to get if you don't already have one.

I thought it might be handy to have a thread here to share RFEs that others might consider voting on.

Below are some of my top picks that aren't already delivered or planned for a future release. I've not yet seen much on the latest 11.1.0 release so anyone with more information please feel free to share  :)

124044-Resume publishing a fix list with each release
Someone told me recently that they have published one for 11.0.12 but I've never found it.

115828-Add ability to cancel a running report via 'My schedules and Subscriptions'

113162-Option to Run Schedule Once
There are lots of similar requests with varying status values: 121326, 121680, 127265. If there is a way for a regular non-admin user to do this let me know.

69692-My Activities & Schedules
Poorly named. The idea is to allow users in a common group to manage schedules of others in their group for holiday time cover etc.

111496-Integrate Event Studio functionality into C11 Analytics core

106804-User-Friendly Data or Event Alert Tool

118669-Bullet Visualization in Dashboard

102650-Use Library tab in Admin to store JavaScript Controls
I suspect PaulM likes this one  ;)

I hope others chime in with any good ones I may have missed!

The nearest I got to it was this:

How about one that says 'Fix all the Bugs' ? You have my vote for it !

Unable to turn off Extended Data Items
With the removal of the ctrl-alt-m menu bar, the only way to turn off extended data items is if you know the super-secret cheat codes.

Improvements to Assistant AI
The new assistant AI is good. Can you imagine how awesome it would be if you could use it to perform administrative tasks?

Enable advanced drill behavior in interactive mode
I have this really awesome breadcrumb trail solution that only works in non-interactive mode.

BRING back the Report Editor Toolbar and Menu (as in Report Studio)
Because I'm old and grumpy and don't like change.

I voted for Improvements to Assistant AI and Lynn's article 118669.

I have raised a ticket with IBM support regarding the tooltips.
The issue is that when you assign user/groups/roles coming from a cjap namespace, it does not show the full path.
The sad news is that, as per IBM support, this feature will not be part of any enhancement or future update for 11.0.x to 11.1.0.
I learned that the old Administration Console will be obsolete as well. They'll be improving the "Manage" section as replacement for this.

:(

IBM haven't got far enough to remove the Administration Console yet. It is still there in the 11.1 version, and I suspect it will remain for a while until all its functionality is reflected in the Manage section in the new UI.

Cheers!

Yes, but there'll be no further enhancement for the Administration Console.  :-[
