Access Client Solutions enhancement

Via Edit > Preferences the Passwords tab is very useful to change my passwords on multiple systems in one time (by selecting multiple).

My problem is to select the correct ones.

It would be a great enhancement if an extra column would be added to display the Description of the system (not only the System Name).
It would also be useful that when you hover over the System Name the description is shown, like on the main page of ACS where you select the correct system.

This would help me a lot selecting the correct systems at once, only by system name is not always that descriptive.

    We have added a Description column to the Password change panel in our next update which will be available in August 2024.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    For those with many cryptically named LPARs, it would be nice to have.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
