Apptio BI

Ability for report owner to set a default value for a global filter (and reset to no default configured)

Problem:Right now there is no way to set a default selection for an Apptio BI report global filter. There are many cases where being able to choose a default selected value meets the use cases of the majority of the report users, but we still want...

Ability to “select all” in a global filter for returned list that match search box criteria

Problem:Right now in a global filter in an ApptioBI report, once you narrow down the options by typing in a search term you need to individually check every box for returned matches. This can be quite tedious and error prone when the results you n...

Ability to clear an individual global filter and reset to zero selections

Problem:Right now there is only the ability to clear all global filters at once. If you only want to rest and clear a single global filter but leave the rest as-is, you need to go into in and uncheck all of the boxes one by one for the filter you ...

Add "Week" to Date Range View By date granularity options

Problem: Currently the dat granularity grouping options when configuring an Apptio BI visualization are none, day, month, quarter, half year, year. Workload can often have weekday vs weekend cyclical patterns and that regular variance can make it ...

Ability for report viewers to select alternate date granularity, similar to how they can select an alternate dimension or metric to display

Problem:Right now in Apptio BI the date range granularity (group by none, day, month, etc.) can only be configured in a visual's edit UI. Once set it can not be changed by a user who only has view access to the report the visual is in. This means ...

When navigating ApptioBI via the Cloudability Standard tile from the homepage do not show the “Current View” menu when in a report that does not utilize any Cloudabilty* datasets.

Problem: Right now when you are interacting with Apptio BI reports via the Cloudability Standard interface (https://app.apptio.com/cloudability?environmentId=c0b954ad-1f51-5ca9-b232-b91dc9226a3c#/apptiobi/reports/all) the “Current View” menu alway...

Ability to remove default date range from ApptioBI Report

Problem:Right now if an admin or report owner sets a default date range on an ApptioBI report in the global date range selector, there is no way to return to a state where a default date range is not set for that report. You can only update what t...

Do not allow report users to select more alternative dimensions than are supported by a visual

Problem: Right now if you configure a graph visual such as a stacked bar with a primary dimension and multiple alternate dimensions the alternate dimension menu the user interacts with is a multi-select in which the user can check the boxes beside...

Multiple sorts in Apptio BI tables

In Apptio BI, the current table visualization allows sorting by only one column at a time. The requested enhancement is to enable multi-column sorting. For example, in a table with three columns—Account Name, Service Name, and Cost Total—users sho...

View-Based Filter Enforcement for Apptio BI Reports

Implement a configurable mechanism within Apptio BI report settings to dynamically force specific filter criteria based on the user's selected TBM Studio view, thereby enabling granular report access control and eliminating the sole reliance on li...
