This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

A long time ago, when we only had the CPSM TSO Interface, we were able to use the filters in a smarter way by building them on some variables using each variable more than one, in other words, we could make conditional sentences. For example, we could select and list transactions like ( AB* OR FC* ) on the same view, instead of listing all AB* in a view a all FC* in another view. We could list ( AB* OR AD*) but not the other transactions staring with A*. Basically, we could use logical sentences (AND, OR) to build our filters.
Since we lost the TSO Interface, we can't do this anymore because we can use each variable only once.
I heard that we could do something similar using GraphiQL but it would be easier and simpler if we could just use logical sentences like "Transaction = (AB* OR AD* OR FC*)"
So the idea would be extend the Filters to allow Logical Sentences either on WUI and on Explorer.
Why is it useful?
- Sometimes the amount of lines presented in a view is too much and for some monitoring or even management, a better subset (like more specific filters) would make things much easier
- Not only the amount of information presented would be less (making it easier to see/understand/analyse but also, if the filtering is made in CPSM, there would be less download of info to Explorer.
Who should benefit from it?
- Everyone who uses Explorer or WUI to monitor, maintain, define resources or sort out issues would be benefit from this improvement
How should it work?
- Instead of only using wildcards in the filters, allow the use of logical sentences. For example instead of allowing only filters like "Transaction = A*", allow filters like "Transaction = ( AB* OR EH*)"
