| Index | Category | Feature Request | Context & Pain Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Styling | Granular Column Formatting (Headers, Values, Totals) | Context: Currently, Conditional Formatting primarily targets cell values. We cannot style Headers or Totals independently. Request: Allow applying background/text colors specifically to Headers, Values, Subtotals, and Grand Totals independently within a single column configuration. |
| 2 | Styling | Independent Styling for Total Column Cells | Context: The Total column currently lacks flexibility; its cells either match the standard cells or the header style. Request: Allow distinct font and color settings for the “Header” cell versus the “Value” cells within the Total/Grand Total column. |
| 3 | Styling | Data Bars in Pivot Tables | Request: Bring the Data Bars visual feature (currently only available in standard Tables) to Pivot Tables to enhance data visualization. |
| 4 | Styling | Native Basic Shapes Tool | Request: Add a native library for basic shapes (Lines, Rectangles, Circles) to group visuals or separate dashboard sections without relying on external images or Custom Visual Content. |
| 5 | Sorting | Custom Sorting for Filter Controls | Context: String fields in Filter Controls (e.g., Month Names) are forced to sort Alphabetically, which causes confusion. Request: Allow “Sort By” another field directly within the Control settings to enable custom logical ordering (e.g., Chronological order). |
| 6 | Sorting | Custom Sorting for Chart Legends | Request: Similar to Filter Controls, allow custom sorting options for items displayed in the Chart Legend. |
| 7 | Data Mgmt | Replace Dataset per Visual | Context: Replacing a dataset currently affects the entire Analysis. The workaround (duplicating analysis → copying visual back) is inefficient. Request: Allow swapping the dataset for a single specific visual without affecting others. |
| 8 | Data Mgmt | Expose SPICE Refresh Schedule Metadata | Context: End-users are often unaware of the dashboard’s refresh schedule. Using manual text boxes is error-prone. Request: Provide a System Parameter for “Next Scheduled Refresh” (or Schedule details) to display dynamically on the dashboard. |
| 9 | UX | Conditional Visibility & State (Disable) for Filter Controls | Request: Extend the Rules functionality to allow Hiding or Disabling (graying out) specific Filter Controls based on parameter values. Note: We specifically need the Disable state, not just Hide. |
| 10 | UX | Scheduled Notification/Maintenance Banner | Context: Informing users about maintenance or data delays currently requires manual updates. |
Please let me know if any of these requests are unclear; I would be happy to explain them in more detail.
