Re: Best practice for using the same dataset for different projects
One approach is to have a "raw" dataset with no BeastModes, and then save a view of the dataset for each distinct use/dasbhoard. Each view can have its own BeastModes. You can also limit the number of columns and rename the columns going into the dashboard, which can make the filters on the dashboard more user-friendly.

You can't spell Shaquille O'Neal without 'AI', and you can't host THE AI + Data Conference without Shaquille O'Neal! He's shattered backboards, won three NBA Finals MVPs en route to four championships, made a second career as a TV commercial legend, donated countless hours and $$ as a philanthropist, and won everyone's heart over as a television personality for the last 14 years. And now he's taking the stage at DP25. You can't get any bigger—in any way—than SHAQ.
Re: Ability to duplicate page in App Studio
Hi, you can access this feature using the new Import app pages feature released. Under pages and navigation, click on Import and select app pages - this should allow you to select any app (current app as well) and import not just one, but multiple app pages at once into your app. You can choose to duplicate your content or not using this flow.
Re: Failed to run dataset due to error from the bery beginning node
If you click on the configuration for your input dataset you can then expand the Data Handling menu, there will be one or more columns with a data type of Date, change them to Text. Then in your ETL you can handle any conversion issues downstream.
Re: "Send Now" Dashboard Feature - please add Card Descriptions
These are a collection of links to other ideas suggesting the same thing (descriptions in the email and/or PDF/PPT exports). Maybe we could upvote all of them? Or consolidate all their votes onto this idea?

Re: Making Users Watch Mandatory Videos
CollnHaze,
I don't have an answer to your forcing a video to play please disregard if you're set on that approach but if you're open to a different idea please read on.
You could add your videos to cards and grant access that makes sense for the people that need to watch them. I feel your goal might be to make sure people consuming specific content understand what they are seeing to cut down on repeat questions or something along those lines.
I think a form with a test related to the videos and a percent correct pass rate requirement might be a more reliable mechanism of ensuring specific information was received and understood by the user. After all even if you force the video to play you still don't know the person didn't walk away from the desk while it played or absorbed anything from it all.
If for example you use a Domo Workflow with a form component you could even automate the access grant when a user passed the test. if they fail you just let them retake it until they pass, at they very least they'll then have learned what the answers to the questions are.
I'd likely also include some sort of written summary, perhaps in a FAQ style.
Re: Sums per subscriber across any selected date range
For the first part of your question, you just need to use a sum as your aggregation, and then you can put a quick-filter on your date:
The second part is slightly harder, as you need the total to stay the same regardless of filter. You can use a FILTER NONE in a FIXED function to do that:
Re: Period Over Period Charts
This would be great! An increasing number of my dashboard users are asking for the ability to have the period over period comparison be flexible with the top level date filter of the app/dashboard.
Adding to what @ggenovese said, the current solution (linked at bottom) of beast modes and additional ETL are not scalable. Providing more options to end users results in duplicate records. Beyond duplication of metrics it duplicates row counts. You can use views to reduce row credit consumption, but this quickly slows down dashboards/apps as cards are slower when powered by views.
Potential solution could be a conditional drop down in the top level date filter that enables changing comparison periods. If PoP cards are present on dashboard/app, then show "compare to" option. Additionally, dashboard/app editors would have the option to show or hide this conditional drop down.
Example: PoP cards on an app are default are set to current month-to-date, compare to one month ago. When the user changes the top level date filter to yesterday, all of the PoP charts compare to the same day one month ago (I believe this functionality is already in place). The user could then change the "compare to" filter to "Day over Day" and all the PoP charts will update to compare yesterday to the day before.
Hope this explanation helps and looking forward to enhanced PoP cards!

Re: How do I see all the visualizations available?
Assuming you are looking for all possible chart types, I love referencing @DashboardDude 's recipe book:
It helps me see and interact with all the possible chart types. I also really like this chart from MajorDomo training. It's presented as a flow chart so you can help narrow down what you are after:
