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.

December 2023 Community Forum Highlights
The holidays have come and gone, and a new year has begun! Before we move on to 2024, let’s look back at last month’s Domo Community achievements.

We have some very familiar faces on our leaderboard. While many of us were taking a well-deserved break over the holidays, some of you still had questions that needed answering. These three, along with a handful of other users, were here to answer the call. Thank you to everyone who put in the time and effort this month to keep the answers coming.

Climbing the ranks is never easy, but this newest contributor certainly made it appear so. Congratulations to our newest Contributor @Kunal—we’ve got our eyes on you.
Community Member of the Month
Our CMM for December is an individual who eats, breaths, and sleeps Domo. We’re fairly certain he could build a fully functional dashboard with his eyes closed. John Le, or better known as the head dude of Dashboard Dudes, really showed up last month for the community. He participated in 16 discussions and had 13 accepted answers and 217 total points. Thank you, John, for your continued support of the community and Domo as a whole.
NUMBER_FORMAT function
Please consider the implementation of a NUMBER_FORMAT function in Beast Mode in the same vein that we have DATE_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT. This would take a number, and based on parameters, format the number (add thousand separator commas, percent sign, currency sign).
Numerous discussions have been had in the forums about how to use Beast Mode to add commas, dollar signs, percent signs in summary numbers, or in table cards.
As much as I love @GrantSmith a 67 line beast mode to add thousands separator commas feels like a workaround of a solution to a relatively common problem. In addition, I have had to write even more cumbersome Beast Mode statements to satisfy requests when working with the Variables Product when for example, one metric is a currency and the other is a percentage.
Card-based Alerts Email Notifications: Add direct link to card
Currently, the email notification for Alerts based off of a card contains a preview of the card that isn't clickable and a "View Alert" orange button that is clickable. When the "View Alert" button in the email is clicked, the user is brought to the card, but the card is obscured by the "Alert History" box that's superimposed on top of the card. The user has to click the X to close this "Alert History" box in order to view the the data in the card. Please add a more seamless route to the card details view to Alert notification Emails. Since the emailed preview of the card doesn't include all of the data, the user has no choice but to go view the card in Domo. It'd be nice if they didn't have to figure out how to close out of Alert History before being able to view the card.

Please allow more display options for Variable controls
Designing a new Domo App, and I have a radio button variable. The only way for this to display is a single vertical list. I have so much horizontal real estate, and want to avoid laying this out in a way that the user has to vertically scroll over the module in order to see all the variables. I will probably shift to a dropdown list to save space.
Please allow us more visual customization for variables, similar to what we have for filter cards. Thanks!
Dynamic "Last Business Day" filter
Hello Domo product team,
Submitting the following: would be great to see the option of dynamically filtering cards by last business day. For reference, this feature should be included in the top right corner inside Analyzer.
Thank you for your consideration!

Share edit permission for Domo Brick code
I've tried adding other members of our team as Admins on the Domo Brick app I installed and also tried adding them as Owners on the resulting card within the main Admin settings, but they still are unable to edit the brick without doing a "Save As" and creating another card.
I'm requesting to add the option to share Domo Brick editing permission if a person has been added as an Admin in the app's settings.
Thanks!
Maintain tile position when copy and pasting Magic ETL tiles
When working with large enough groupings of tiles, or groupings near the bottom of the canvas in Magic and copy/pasting, there is a tendency for tiles being pasted on the canvas to be squished into the bottom. This can be a pain to untangle and reposition the grouping. It would be helpful if by default or through maybe a checkbox type option the canvas position could be maintained when copying and pasting tiles in Magic. Another possibility might be an option to "Paste Here" via a button or context menu.
Magic ETL - copy/paste JSON definition to clipboard
During the Technical User Group kickoff call, @john_stevens dropped some knowledge on us that just blew my mind. As seen in the gif below, you can copy Magic ETL tiles to the clipboard, and then paste into a text editor and it will give you the JSON definition of those tiles. That definition file can then be edited and repasted into the Magic canvas to produce new tiles. This can be incredibly helpful if you're wanting to edit Magic in bulk and don't want to use the Java CLI. I'm really excited to try this out more!

Spacer cards
Would greatly appreciate a way to add a blank "spacer" card to my dashboards.
Currently using empty text boxes to create space, but they have a (pretty large) minimum width/height.
Would love a spacer card that could be set to any width/height,
