    Dear Customer:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with the product direction. We also have information that you no longer need this requirement. As a consequence we have rejected this request.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Sincerely,
    Poonam Chitale
