Reusable Data Logic Across Widgets Users want to reuse queries, dataset layers, formulas, dimensions, and measures across widgets without duplicating the entire widget. Convert Between Widget Types Allow users to convert one widget type into another (e.g. Grid → HTML) while keeping the same underlying data logic. Shared Logic for Widget Families Enable multiple widgets to share the same logic, so changes made to one widget can be easily applied to others using the same logic. Stronger Dataset / Semantic Layer Provide more flexibility to define calculations, CASE statements, and transformations at the dataset level, not only at the widget level. Formula Fields in Queries Support formula or computed fields directly in queries to reduce complexity and improve data modeling. Improved Formula Editor UI Expandable, multi-line formula editor Easier to view and edit complex formulas No need to rely on external text editors Prevent Accidental Panel Closure Editing panels (Add/Edit Field, Conditional Formatting, Color Picker, etc.) should not close automatically when users click outside or move the mouse slightly. Built-in AI Assistant for Widgets Provide an AI assistant to help users build formulas, queries, and widgets directly in the product. Better Dataset Layer Tooltip & Actions Tooltips should be non-interactive and not block actions Move dataset actions to the “…” (meatballs) menu Make the “…” menu always visible Easier Widget Reuse Across Dashboards & Reports Users want to attach existing widgets to other dashboards or reports without cloning and creating duplicates. Attach / Clone to Reports (Not Dashboards Only) “Attach or Clone to Existing” should support both dashboards and reports. Clone Dashboard to Report Allow users to clone a dashboard into a report to avoid rebuilding widgets when creating printable or schedulable reports. Better HTML Widget Editing Experience Allow resizing or expanding the HTML editor panel Reduce the need for external HTML editors Non-Printing / Hidden Area for Report Slicers Provide a dedicated non-printing or hidden panel for slicers so they don’t affect PDF or printed layouts.
