Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

Consolidate ACS 5250 Display and TAB Preferences into one Tabbed Dialog

Currently we have:
Edit->Preferences -> Tab Setup
Edit->Preferences -> Appearance->Tab Appearance

The first changes the Active Tab properties
The second changes the inactive Tab properties
Please place them on the same dialog and use the existing Tab design ("tab" in this context means tabbed dialog boxes, not the ACS 5250 Session Tabs) to included Active Tab and Inactive Tab properties in one place.


Use Case:

The menu operations in ACS 5250 Sessions is nearly as confusing as a Sony Menu on their Camera system.
Put together over decades and never refined/revisited to improve the end-user experience.
Please try to do that.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. After evaluating and prioritizing this request, we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near future, so it is being declined.
