Use license cost in placement/scaling decisions

During our Tech Day at PWC, Jerry Trollo related a problem he had with Turbonomic actions. They have a Rancher cluster where they took Turbonomic actions to optimize the nodes. In doing so, they saved $500k in node costs. Unfortunately, due to the...

Ability to create a filter on Contract Expiry Dates for xx number of months, instead of just a date

We want to have layouts and filters to be able to quickly see when contracts are expiring in xx number of months. At the moment, the filter is just entering in a date, which is not dynamic enough as you roll through months. Can this be uplifted to...

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
