    Can z/TPF Development provide a direct link or instructions on how to view current z/TPF New Requirements as well as the best way to open a z/TPF New Requirement?

    Currently, developerWorks is still the tool to use to open new z/TPF requirements and view the z/TPF requirements.
    This blog post provides details: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/colton-cox1/2020/03/12/how-to-open-a-ztpf-request-for-enhancement-rfe?lang=en

    Over the next several months, the z/TPF product will be migrating from developerWorks to a new tool for RFEs.  More details will be provided to the TPF Community as we finalize our plans.  Here is the statement on the new tool posted in developerWorks:

    Note: We are currently in the process of improving your RFE experience and  RFEs for these product portfolios have now migrated to Ideas Portals accessed through our trusted provider Aha!. Please use the new links provided to submit and view your RFEs. Over the next few months more products will transition to Aha!, and the list of products will be updated to reflect this. For more details about the migration visit www.ibm.com/ideas.

    The IBM Ideas Portal is now the tool to use to open new z/TPF requirements and view the z/TPF requirements.
    This article provides details: How to open a z/TPF idea

    The migration from developerWorks is complete and developerWorks is no longer updated.

    Checking out the IBM Ideas Portal, my filtered view is included delivered Ideas by default. I looked through the FAQs but I'm not seeing how to update a filtered view. I am sure I'm missing something obvious but would appreciate some help...

    Hi Kate,

    From the base page I also do not see a way to filter the results.

    However, the z/TPF collection of ideas (which has a slightly different URL) provides a method to filter by status at the top right of the results view with a menu labeled with Filter By: Status. Are you able to access the URL for the z/TPF collection and filter how you would like?

    Thanks Matt. I can get to the z/TPF collection of ideas URL but now I can only filter by one status. 
    I did email Ideas <ideasibm@us.ibm.com>  and was told "being able to filter by Status is one of the enhancement requests we are implementing and expect to have available in the next several months".

    I think my goto view would be to see what Ideas were current (i.e. not declined or delivered or closed out as a bug etc) to avoid the clutter of all kinds of historical things.  I guess I need to be patient. 

    We used to have a private group and whenever anyone opened up an RFE they added it to that group watchlist. That way we could see all the RFEs anyone in our organization had submitted (occasionally requests didn't get internal consensus). I'm not seeing a way to do something similar with this platform, is that correct?

    Kate, I'll pass your use case about a goto view on to the IBM Ideas Portal developers. Thanks for sending your input using the email address.

    I've heard that a way to group ideas (a watchlist replacement) is high on the priority list for enhancements. You are correct - there is no equivalent to a watchlist in the IBM Ideas Portal yet.
