    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    We are currently reviewing this item for consideration, and we plan to seek additional feedback from other IMS clients. When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and our ability to deliver within the next 18 months and prioritize those.


    You will automatically be notified of ongoing progress associated with this RFE.


    Have a great day!
