Possibility to configure attributes (default and custom) as mandatory

At the business term level, it should be possible to configure both default attributes (description, etc.) and custom attributes to mark them as mandatory, so that when adding a new term, the attributes that are configured as mandatory must be fil...

assign service id within a catalog as a collaborator

Customer is using IKC as service based on CP4D Saas (FRA, Europe). At the moment you cannot use / assign a service id within a catalog in IKC as “collaborator”. Customer uses the term “collaborator” as a synonym for technical user. Having the poss...

In the list of catalog assets, I would like to choose which attributes are shown as headers and their order

I would like to sort the list based on a custom attribute, but now that attribute is not available as header. Basically I'd like to let users find out easily the maximum value for that field. There are also a couple other custom attributes defined...

Terms or rules or categories filtering capabilities are not providing custom relationships as filtering criteria. This is definitely needed.

We use multiple custom relationships to classify artifacts and categories. In order to filter artifacts and categories based on custom relationships we need this capability in IKC.

Drafts should be available in the reporting DB

Add filter & "bulk edit" options to the list of artifacts under a category

Our users work a lot based on a certain primary category - there can be hundreds of terms and rules under one category ("data asset") they're responsible for. For their way of working it would be natural to be able to filter (and also bulk edit/de...

The batch import of e.g. terms lacks individuality - one can only handle the batch approval/review/publish in bulk. Allow as an option handling of individual artifacts

Three use cases: a) a couple out of the batch should be rejected If there is two terms in a batch of 100 that should be edited before approved, then the full batch needs to be rejected until those two are in better shape. This is not a problem if ...

Option to update/replace Project data asset when add it from Catalog to avoid duplicate data asset

When we add a data asset from Catalog to Project brand new are added to project as many times we add it from Catalog. The idea here is to have an option to update/replace the data asset when add it in the Project that the data asset has already be...

It is requested not to display empty ‘custom new property’ in the overview of a catalog customised object (i.e. Assets or Governance Artifact: custom assset, Report, BT, Category etc) Imagine to have the need to manage "objects" that have a lot of...
