IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

enhance the functionality of expression editor in reporting to align with data module functionality

for example from your data module documentation:

  • ability to validate the whole statement, or only selected segments of code.
  • Preview columns and rows in your projected calculation, filter, or table. If the syntax is not correct, the columns are not displayed.
  • Insert the cursor anywhere in a line of code and select this button to comment out the entire line. To comment out multiple lines of code, select the lines and select this button. The comment string // is added at the beginning of each selected line.
  •  Apply formatting to the code.
  •  Use high-contrast mode.
  •  Change the font size.

These are all great options and would benefit us in reporting too.
