Report Builder Left Panel should be adjustable
The left panel that designates the slides in the Report Builder should be adjustable. We can fit ~28 characters in the panel which makes it difficult to write titles for multiple slides. There is a lot of white space between the chart and the left panel on a full HD monitor meaning there would not be any impact to the…

Sprint 2 Activity 2.3.9.1
I’m really stumped here on this activity and can figure out where I went wrong. Could someone assist.
2.3.10 Activity: Create Demand Forecast
As per the below activity information provided, do we need to write the formulas for all the line items in the module or need to write the formula for only Growth Rate % line item? Can anyone provide clarity on this activity for me?
REQUEST: setting to always show the Formula Edit bar when in blueprint
Allow the MB to turn the Formula Preview Mode ON for all Blueprint views. This would be a persistent toggle. So anytime you switch to BV you would see this at the bottom.
MX SUGGESTION: Give the MB a ‘x’ option during this import to List step.
It can be finicky clearing any fields you don’t want filled. Would be nice if there was an ‘x’, perhaps to the far left of the field selector?
SUGGESTION: Improvements to Delete from list using selection
When defining Delete from list using selection… can we consider adding:* The ability to use Tab to move from the Action Name field to the Delete Items from: field * Same request for moving to Selected using: * Allow the MB to type any portion of the Line Item in the Selected using: field instead of a need to type…
MX REQUEST: better handling when opening a Module from the Line Items view
Allow the Open button in the Line Items view of Modules to open the module that holds the currently selected Line Item. Right now the MB must scroll up to find the title for the module and then click Open . As some modules have many line items this can be frustrating. Example: In order to open the Module that holds this…
REQUEST: allow this search result field to show more text in the results
Maybe just move the ‘Object Type’ column to the far right? Or put it before the ‘Name’ column as we know the max width the ‘Object Type’ column could show. The names of the modules are getting cut off. I know we can't have an infinite amount. But there's some white space that we could use.
SUGGESTION: Ability close all tabs to the left/right of the selected tab
Allow the Model Builder to close all tabs to the left/right of the selected tab via right click menu. It would be part of the existing ‘Close’ options.
MX SUGGESTION: better tab position control
Allow the Model Builder to move a tab to the front/end of the list of open tabs via right click menu. It would be options beyond the ‘Close’ options.
REQUEST: Ability to add/remove dimensions from the ‘Pivot’ modal while in Model view.
Give the MB the ability to add/remove dimensions from the ‘Pivot’ modal while in Model view. It seems like such an organic place to be able to do it. Similar to initial Model setup. Could also help to avoid the awkward command click method for multi-selection in the Blueprint ‘applies to’ method.
MX REQUEST: support colored blocks in Formula Editor
Allow the builder to select if the colored text in a formula is colored text or a colored block. the colored blocks would be AWESOME! Mockup: The purple would be the same as the font color was. just an inversion. like highlighting.
MX REQUEST: allow the user to archive portions of a MODEL!
Often I find myself taking a standard demo model and building completely new structures for a specific customer/demo. I start from a standard demo model so I can reuse structures and concepts from it. Then, when I am done, I want to keep only the new stuff and any basic structures/data that I ended up using.It would be…
MX REQUEST: Model Search work with ‘Applies To’ section of a module.
Allow the Model Search feature to give results where the search term shows up in the ‘Applies To’ section of a module. I could see that this level of result could get thick. Maybe it is a flag the user can check to say they want this in the results?
