Release Notes - What Changed
Many times new releases add additional things which aren't documented and can silently break dataflows and metadata which we rely on to properly administer our instance. Can we get a list of things that have changed in the release to see what issues we might be running into when monitoring our instance? Could we also get…

Autogenerate Filtered Page Deep Link
It'd be nice if it was able to automatically generate the pfilter deep link for the current existing filters applied to the page to more easily share the exact same page view for other users and to save time and difficulty if we're wanting to do deep linking from another card to this new page.

Allow for Min & Max in the Rank & Window Tile in Magic ETL
The minimum and maximum aggregation are standard calculations that should be included in the rank and window tile but currently are not. They should be added to avoid having to use a group by and then joining back to the dataset for simplicity and efficiency.

TO_CHAR / Formatting functions in beast modes
There's may times when I need to do a custom summary number that's concatenated with other strings causing me to lose the ability to format the number. So I have to write a long beast mode just to format the number correctly. Like…

Restore Card Version
Currently only a picture of the prior version of a card is being stored and there's no way to easily recreate or restore a specific version of a card. It'd save a lot of time if there was a way to restore to a specific card version like there is with dataflows.

Magic ETL - Allow group by without a grouping column
There are times when I want to calculate aggregated metrics across the entire dataset. Currently this isn't possible without adding a constant value column to group on which I then have to remove later in my pipeline. It'd be much smoother if the Group By tile allowed us to group across the entire dataset without having to…

Custom Roles - Delete
I like a clean instance. Sometimes a custom role is created but no longer needed and I'd like to delete these out of the system instead of having them persist and potentially having someone misuse them when assigning roles.

Domo X Canva challenge: Baseball

Card Name vs Card Display Name
There are many times I need to display a specific name on a card and there are duplicates of that same card name however they are looking at different datasets. It'd be great to set an internal name vs a display name to display one thing but have a unique name to more easily differentiate between the different cards.

YouTube Connectors Broken
Google decided to change their API and permissions on March 5th causing the existing Domo connectors to fail. The Youtube Reporting Connector was working correctly and I've re-connected the account without any issues however when attempting to pull data via this connection it's returning an error message "Domo is ready,…

API Tokens - Tracking Usage / Governance
From a security standpoint it'd be great to see when / where an API Token is being used. Alternatively give the activity log have a flag that a token was used vs a user logged in the system. When someone leaves there's no easy way to track which APIs are used and what needs to be changed.
-
Share DataFlow (all input datasets)
It'd be great to have a Share Dataflow button which would allow users to share all of the input datasets with a user instead of having to track down all of the multiple dataset inputs and share each of those individually which is quite time consuming.

Magic ETL - Copy Single Tile
I share a lot of ETL code both internally and here on the Dojo. It's great that you can multi-select tiles in Magic ETL and select Copy to Clipboard, pass it along and have someone them copy and paste that into their ETL to get the same tiles. There are many times where I'm showing an example for a single tile in magic ETL…

Allow alignment of dropdown filters or dropdown variables in the cards
If you have a dropdown variable with a title and a dropdown filter with a label text property set and don't display the title of the filter on a page they don't line up. It'd be great to have more flexibility with the alignment to make sure things are put in place where I'd like them rather than having this off center.

A more flexible way to do Period over Period comparisons
Greetings! I see variations of this topic asked several times so I thought I'd write up all of the information in a singular spot for easier reference. Below I'll outline how I utilize my own date dimension table to have customized period over period charts, compare the current partial month to the same amount of time in…

Freeze Page Pane
Sometimes I'd like to have my filters on the side of the page and would like them to stay in place and allow the user to scroll through the graphs to the right or left of my filter column. Currently it'll scroll the filter cards off the screen causing the user to have to go up and down on the page to apply the filters. Can…

Variables - Dates - Min or Max Today
It'd be great to be able to set the min or max values for a date variable to today so that it restricts users to not select a future date or past date when required to allow dashboards to work correctly and protect against outlier dates.

Allow tracking of Developer Token Usage
API Tokens are great but difficult to identify which are being used in order to remove unused one for better security. It'd be great if there was a way we could track the different API token usage within our instance.

Beast Mode Editor - Comment Out Lines
Most modern IDEs have the ability to highlight several lines of code and then press a key combination (CMD + /) to automatically comment out the highlighted rows.
