Earning 407 points in one month is one of the best we've seen. Thank you @ArborRose for being a key member of the Community.
Let's thank and congratulate @ArborRose in the comments below!
Standard / Fiscal Calendar Variable Switch
For instances where fiscal calendar has been enabled, having the ability to switch between standard and fiscal calendars as a variable control would provide another great level of flexibility.
Currently customers who want to do this either need to have two seperate sets of cards - one with standard, and the other with fiscal, or alternatively they build custom calendars fields in dataflows and enable switching viable variables. In both cases this creates quite a bit of overhead in development and maintenance.
Exposing the fiscal switch as a variable would provide a significant saving of dev and maintenance time in some cases.
Export App Studio or Integrate with PPT Plugin
It would be good to be able to export a page within AppStudio as a PDF or PPT, or the ability to use the PPT plugin again with AppStudio.
App Studio Report Builder: Export as PDF/PPT
Previous announcements about the App Studio Report builder gave the impression it would be able to export App Studio-styled reports as PDF and/or PPT. If that's not already in the pipeline, I'm submitting here that it should be.
Transpose functionality for HTML Tables
Using the tables, I've found the transpose functionality quite useful however HTML tables provide a lot of flexibility that isn't available in the normal table. We have a specific case at the moment that the HTML would be useful for, if the transpose function was available.
I would like to propose having this function added to the HTML table.

Improve Readability for Long Column Headers in Color Rules Dialog
The color rules dialog has limited horizontal space to display the names of dataset columns. If the column names are similar and exceed this length, there is no way to differentiate them or to know what color rules are already set.
As a typical example we have a column named "COL_SUBCLAIM1CATEGORYNAME" and a Beastmode based on it titled "COL_SUBLAIM1CATEGORYNAME Students by Percentage". Since the column name exceeds the width of the field in the Color Rules dialog, it's impossible to differentiate which of these is being set. Even if the dropdown is opened there is no indication of which field was selected (I seem to remember the selected column used to be bolded when you opened the menu, but that doesn't seem to work anymore).
This issue could be fixed by allowing the modal window (or column) to be resized or adding a tooltip to the field to allow for the display of the entire name.

Need more real estate and more customization in Left Nav
The left nav is right out of the box already out of space for adding custom pins. As you'll see in the screenshot below, none of my added pins show up on the left nav, I have to select the "All Navigation Items" icon to see them. I think the icons marked in orange below could definitely be moved into the "features" or "all navigation items" icon pins and would also love the ability to control for myself and others what icons appear on the left nav.
App Studio Tabs - Mobile Stretching Cards
Within App Studio, specifically when you use tabs within Pages, the height of each tab is at the mercy of your tallest tab.
What this means is if you have 2 tabs, and tab 1 is 2 cards tall card and tab 2 is 10 cards tall, tab 1 will be as tall as tab 2; resulting in very stretched cards in tab 1.
While the best solution would be independent management of tab height, the workaround on Desktop is to use spacers. Unfortunately, this workaround does not exist on Mobile, resulting in very stretched / unreadable cards (i.e., poor user experience).
Please look into the independent management of tab height and / or adding the spacer workaround to mobile.
App Studio - App Name Length / Fitment
Within App Studio's landing page, we are finding that the limitations associated with how many characters we can fit prior to needing to hover over the name of the app is resulting in poor user experience.
Example: We have an application named "Merchandising Recommendations". Here, not only does "Merchandising" not fit on one line, the second line is "g…" and "Recommendations is completely unavailable. It does not look good.
We would like to see (1) fitment improved and / or (2) enablement to update the name on the landing page and the name within the page itself independently (e.g., short name "Merch Recs" on the landing page and long name "Merchandising Recommendations" when the application is opened up).
Group ownership of dataset should allow anyone in group to submit for certification
It would be great if every User in the group that owns the dataset can submit it for certification. (Was told via Domo support, that Domo does not have this functionality currently)
For example, we have a dataset we would like certified - this dataset is owned by a group. User is in this group. When requesting certification for the dataset, it says that the request has been sent to the owner of the dataset. Every User of the group is unable to view or approve the request, even though they are in the group and also an admin in Domo.
