The customer would like the ability to create an "Actions" widget in their dashboard to showcase the action executed for a particular business unit. We created groups for these business units in Turbo based on customer tags but that scope is not supported in the "Actions" widget

Group membership should be easily visible for each VM

When I look at a VM I can see an overview, details, policies, actions. I would like to be able to see what groups the VM is part of in this same view. Having to go into reports to find the groups for a VM is not a good user experience. Thank you.

The ability to configure a schedule in our policy CR

Plan Migration to show a cost comparison between migrating to the different cloud providers

Instead of a user creating 3 plans (one for each provider) and moving between dashboards to compare. A customer wanted to see a single dashboard comparing the possible migrations to all clouds to decide on the best one.
