Include Events and Status data in Apptio BI

Current the Events and Status features do not allow you to easily find the data without exporting to excel and this data is not available in BI. It would be good to add features like group and filter to these reports but also to use in the BI reports

Ability to create your own additional 'tabs' based on the 'other' tab functionality

The 'other' tab starts to grow in volume, and often becomes a 'catch all' for expense types. If we have specific categories that these costs can be broken down into, it would be great if we could separate onto another tab and rename to be more app...

Ability to customise the Summary tab - drills and KPI's

the Summary Tab - Waterfall and graphs are very useful but would be could if we could hide some of the KPI's eg. Capex and update the drill columns. Our users really find this report useful but would be more widely accepted if we could update the ...

Ability to have one role for Submit and one role for Edit. Currently they are combined

We often have delegation whereby the input users are not ultimately the submitters, and we don't want to accidently submit bulk plans where there is no authority to do so. A system control to prevent this, would be helpful for edit and submit duties.

Ability to only allow certain user groups to import data to Planning

Importing directly to the system has risks related to overwriting the data, and an average user is not capable or trained to be able to complete this reliably. We would like for this option to be only with Admin, or select users at Admin discretion

Ability to load customised public views at a plan-level, rather than system-wide shared

We have multiple user types that will not share the use of the same plans, and so we would like to customise the public views each of the users can see by plan. Currently this is set/shared for all Plans within Planning.

Ability to add variance comments at the full year (FY) column in Variance Analysis or Compare Shortcuts

Add the capability to add comments when comparing an annual forecast plan to another annual forecast plan (actuals + forecast) and save the comments in a layout. Currently, there is no ability to add comments when using the compare shortcuts featu...

Hide or customize Expense View Tabs (Labor, Contract, Asset, Other)

We want to improve user experience by hiding unused tabs (e.g. planned Labor). Renaming of Tabs would be a plus, as we could easier add notes for our IT Managers during planning - such as 'do not use'. This would additionally reduce efforts for ou...

Labour Actuals

We were wondering to request to  labor actuals in the same way we load cost actuals via spend management . At the moment the labour actuals can be overwritten or deleted in error by users. Having this option would lock the actuals for labour ...

Additional field recognized as numeric needed for contract variance analysis.

We are maturing our planning capabilities and have come to the conclusion that a 3% price increase on our contracts is no longer sufficient across the board. In order to forecast more accurately, we are comparing a vendor's current contract price ...
