Rightsizing Filter enhancement

Can we have a search box in the rightsizing area so we can search/filter by resource id? It enables key stakeholders to manage recommendations by resource ID's. We would also suggest the ability to filter if there is a comment on a recommendation.

Bulk Comment

Would like the ability to block comment on similar recommendations - we can then vet the snoozed items checking appropriate narrative has been left to build a profile of recommendations and reasons why they can't be achieved.

Unable to specify/filter details on Rightsizing recommendations

Recommendations may not be applicable and does not provide a true picture on the size of the prize, by filtering out reoccuring opportunities we could move onto opportunity 2 ie. for EBS, omit sc1

Additional opportunities listed other than rightsizing

Would be good to have additional opportunities in Apptio, ie. modernise infrastructure (eg. move from m5 > m7), GP2 > GP3, Volumes unattached for 90 days, snapshots older than 90 days, Apply AHUB in azure.
