My subscriptions: Apptio Costing

Enable advanced monthly scheduling options (e.g., first Monday, second Wednesday) for Email Subscriptions in Apptio Cost Transparency, consistent with Apptio BI capabilities.

Email RLS subscription

The new Email RLS subscription feature has been improved which is good. But the info to the end user via the email is on PDF only, it will be better if the actual email body contains specific KPIs and insights rather than a PDF to improve traction.

Formula similiar to today() in TBM Studio

New chart types in Apptio Cost Transparency

A few of my stakeholders have requested different chart types that Apptio does not support so if new charts could be added in a future release, that would provide some variety on dashboards. Executives receive reports from different systems, so it...
about 2 months ago in Apptio / Apptio Costing Planned for future release

What is needed is a neutral indicator-- call it a blue dot or arrow pointing to the right -- to indicate something may be up month to month, but it's OK that is' up because it's STILL w/in the Health indicator range listed on the right side of the Digital KPI dashboard (see the attachment - mockup).

Originally, we raised a request - https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/500gJ000009uoZgQAI In CPE's (CIO Platform Engineering) case, e.g. We have MTTR that can change in any direction up or down cycle to cycle (e.g. month to month), but staying within the...

The ability to generate a unique URL for each report tab and date range within the same report
