Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

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

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Hook Point to Programmatically Interact with a V8 Component within UIM

There is a difference between how drop downs manage their state between V7 and V8. In V7, there was no concept of a select 'state', so when a value was returned - it assumed selection.

However, Carbon is subtly different, as Carbon manages state as a separate handle.

We need to be able to programmatically interact with a component within UIM. So can a hook point be provided that will allow to programmatically select an item within a component.

Keeping it broad, because in the client example it's a combo box, but it could be a date picker or a text input.

See associated PMR for specific details https://ibmwatsonhealth.force.com/mysupport/s/case/5001U00000oxkxWQAQ/updating-searchaddressjs-to-reference-new-v8-ui

    MSD in NZ are using similar(same?) customisation for address lookup and validation.
    We are likely to hit the same issue when we upgrade.
