Welcome to the 3rd edition of the InterSystems Ideas news bulletin! Curious about what has happened on the Ideas Portal since the previous one? Read on!
First of all, we've created a short video that explains the lifecycle of the ideas on the Portal:

In the previous announcement, we introduced our feedback portal – InterSystems Ideas! Now we'd like to tell you more about it, notably about the topics which are covered there.
You can submit your ideas in the following categories:
The IRIS Management Portal is localized (translated) for some (many?) languages and the language used by the Management Portal interface is determined by the browser settings, often derived from the OS settings (can be changed).
This means that if a user, like me, want to use ONLY the English version of the Management Portal, each and every time you login you need to change the language. VERY annoying.
I know I can change the language configured in Browser, BUT, I want to use English for the IRIS management portal non for all my internet activity!
We've always had this idea on the back burner about improving the process of collecting, analyzing, and responding to product enhancement requests from our members. We knew we needed a good user experience and even better internal processes to make sure the best ideas were gathered, heard, and responded to. And finally, this thought has come to fruition!
So in case you missed it, let me introduce to you the Official InterSystems feedback portal:
I do not know about others, but Docker and the intro of Docker was not a forte of mine coming into trying out new components of InterSystems IRIS. We are moving to IRIS and with that we want to incorporate into our upgrade. I have been struggling with trying to understand Docker. I know it is not an InterSystems product but the assumption that everyone knows Docker and is using Docker has caused me a great deal of time.
What is everyone's thoughts about getting some kind of docker help like a basic understanding within InterSystems documentation.
I do love Global Masters (and all the rewards that I get from it) and one of my favourite activities is answering quiz questions. And just now I've had a really cute question What is the result of: WRITE "99" + "cents"? which brought a smile to my face (because I do love to add questions like this to the tests for my students). This made me think that I would really like to somehow show my appreciation to the author of this question.
Hi InterSystems Community! I'm Sidd one of the interns at the Singapore office and I recently had the chance to develop to develop a driver to connect IRIS to Metabase to help some of the Sales Engineers here. I was encouraged to share it here so that if any others have a similar issue they can use the driver and as well as get some feedback on potential improvements. The full GitHub repo with the quick start step, brief overview and the driver building process can be found here.
We know how frustrating it can be to receive a lot of emails (and we definitely don't want to add to your load), so here is how you can set up email notifications for the InterSystems Ideas portal.
By default, all registered users are subscribed to all categories of ideas. To change this, just enter your Ideas Portal profile, select "Edit Profile," then click inside the item "Weekly summary email," click on "Categories to highlight" and choose what you're interested in.
We've had several new ideas from the Ideas portal implemented and thought that you might be curious to learn more about them in our series of articles dedicated to Implemented ideas 😉
So help us choose the ideas you want us to write about in the poll below.
Do you have an idea that could make a real impact on InterSystems technology and be realised by Community members? Now’s the perfect time to share your thoughts!
We’re preparing something exciting and would love to see the ideas you think could take InterSystems to the next level. To achieve this, we need you to come up with new ideas for our Ideas Portal that could be considered as "Community Opportunity" ideas*.
Thus, put on your thinking cap and submit your ideas on the Ideas Portal by mid-November, and stay tuned for more updates.
This milestone highlights the active participation and creativity of our Community. We appreciate all the contributions and support that drive the ongoing success of this portal!
Welcome to Issue #18 of the InterSystems Ideas newsletter! This edition highlights the latest implemented ideas:
✓ Ideas brought to life during the "Bringing Ideas to Reality" programming contest ✓ Ideas implemented by InterSystems in Q4 2024 ✓ New article featuring an idea realized by the talented Musketeers team
We have launched a new Ideas Portal category dedicated to this database-as-a-service (DBaaS) where we're looking for your ideas on how we can improve InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL.
Or share your experience with the service in the comments to this post.
Once upon a time in Ensemble Management Portal the pool size of each component (Business Host) within the production was displayed in the Production Configuration page.
This information was very useful, especially when a production have tens or hundreds of components.
I'm looking towards a functionality alike Python's difflib, but made with Intersystems products. I already know could embed Python code within IRIS but thought maybe there was a development already done for handling deltas, with a different approach or extra utils.
Even if I find such a library after comparing both might still go with difflib or any other more suitable. Intend to use it for a cross-environment checklist/check tool.
Please find below a sample of HTML rendering computed and made with difflib, with a few lines of code:
