Please upkeep security of the product, by making available newer priv protocol AES. DES which is the only option available now, has been deprecated by IEEE framework. Consquently removed from linux OS, net-snmp , and openssl 3.x

This is necessary for product to run with non vulnerable versions of security components. Without this AES encryption being available, we are forced to shutdown / not use the product anymore by cyber security.

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

The idea is to restrict users from accessing a branch.

More specifically, users can only access the branch assigned by the admin. For example, Employee A can only work in Branch A and cannot access Branch B or C.

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...
