What is your industry? Other
How will this idea be used?

As IBM Support or Customers facing issues to find which connection related to which Partner and Description is the field we used to update the Partner name or details in order to find the connection quickly.


Currently as this column/field not available under connections section, it's tough to check each connection related to which Partner and it's time consumed task all time.


We received feedback on the same from few Customers and they struggled to identify which connection related to which Partner and they requested to see Connection Description for each connection which displayed to the user will be much helpful to find the connection quickly.
