Now that the beta of reports and charts is working better I'd like to post a number of suggestions that would make it much more useful and likely to attract additional subscription income.
Issues that hopefully will go away when it's out of beta:
a. Reports and Charts are not showing up in the iPhone app.
b. Reports and Charts which are added to a tab in the layout are not automatically shared to users who have full sharing privileges to that tab.
c. Move all the "Done" and "Cancel" buttons to the top of their respective windows or frames. I've encountered a number of browser issues where the current button positions are outside the frame (not visible to the user) which can be quite frustrating figuring out why my changes weren't being accepted.
Enhancements I'd like to see:
Upgrade the formatting options in reports and charts
- Column width should automatically adjust to the width of the displayed data plus a small pad.
- User control of the alignment of the data in the columns.
- User control of the display of numeric fields ($, decimal places, etc.)
- Access to the reports and charts scripts so we can refine the filter options as needed.
- Easy system to change the data field labels for columns and rows in both charts and reports.
Features:
Every report or chart should display the default date range and permit modification of the beginning and ending dates by the user. Flexibility is power.
Keep up the good work. Creator gets more valuable every week.
