Filter possibility on the zosmf plugin Resiliency Dashboard

This dashboard is very usefull for DEVOPS personnel, in our case handling banking applications. 
A devops person can add a widget to it's dashboard. For Db2 tables there is a possibility to filter on Db2 subsystem name. 
The user now sees the statistics for ALL Db2 tables that can go into hundreds of thousands. This devops person will only be interested to see it's own subset of Db2 elements. 

Being able to filter on database name (with wildcard) would already help enormous. 
A simplified example at our site: 
The tables for payment department reside in database PAYDB001 - PAYDB999
The tables for savings department reside in database SAVDB001-SAVDB999

If the devops would be able to add a widget with filter options Db2 system (helpfull in test environment with multiple UAT Db2 systems) and database name, the person has a widget overview for Db2 tables that he/she is responsible for. 

I heard there already were plans for filter options within the widget. This idea is for what the user sees in the dashboard. If comfort index shows 100% backups for his/her Database(s), there would be no need to dive into the details to find out that a "Without Backups" number would be from other departments.
