Apptio Planning: Map Forecast Actual into Other Tabs

Currently actuals only appear on the Summary tab when Forecasting, it would be beneficial to see actual data in the other tabs, as well. Ideally, there would be a way to separate the actual data by tab when it flows into Planning, so actuals/forec...

Export Layout Feature - maintain column header layout but do not consolidate underlying data

Current when you export, the data below is grouped and text shows as " 2 Unique, 5 Unique". Idea is that all data would be expanded to it's lowest level while maintaining the header formatting. Expanding each column individually is not an option u...

Ability to disable/enable default Cloudability dimensions

Cloudability Forecasting improvement

In Cloudability, the forecasting model skews forecasts post February because of the number of days in Feb. I suggest using a 30 day normalized approach for forecasting to improve the linear forecasting approach. Currently, as a FinOps practitioner...

Export All should use a fixed column order, and not vary with my Layout

The current functionality is confusing and non-intuitive, and interferes with many assumptions about how process flow should work. "Export All" should be a trustworthy 'I don't know what I need, give me everything' button that I can drp into Excel...
