This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
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:
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 an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Currently, there are several discrepancies when viewing or merging model content through a diagram view or graphical merge versus inspecting it in the DiffMerge browser.
-Elements on a diagram can have their Rhapsody Features window invoked. Elements in the browser cannot, and are instead summarized in a table (or nested objects/tables).
-Elements on a diagram can display their Rhapsody tooltip, when a user hovers their mouse over the element. Elements in the browser have no equivalent functionality.
-Elements on a diagram have a context menu option to "locate" (although not clear if this is ever an enabled option). Elements in the browser have no equivalent "locate on diagram" option.
-Resolving certain diagram elements graphically can have their corresponding model elements also resolved in the merge. However, resolving elements in the browser does not often resolve a graphical merge.
-Elements with differences indicated graphically (model or graphical) do not have their differences summarized (just that a graphical difference exists). Model elements in the browser can summarize what their difference is.
-Elements indicated as a difference on a diagram in a graphical merge are limited in showing what type of change they exhibit or their merge status. However, there are two graphical indicators to show the difference/merge status of every element in the browser.
-Elements cannot be filtered on a diagram in a graphical merge as they can be from the DiffMerge View menu in the browser (show all, show differences, show undecided, etc.).
In a nutshell, these examples are just to say the workflow and tools available to affect a change in Rhapsody is sometimes very different than the equivalent workflow to affect the same change in DiffMerge.
