Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default.

Plot historical percentile values in "Prove It" UI when actions are taken

Today, using VM resize actions as an example, we only show the percentile value based on the current capacity of the resource. When customers take an action to either resize up or resize down to bring the percentile back into its desired state, th...

Object Groups in the Metadata widget: Allow the source group to be a Class. Allow for a regex pattern to filter the object groups within the selected Class.
