Change Default Chart Type and other default settings in Analyzer

rolyat

I suggest an option be added to change the default chart type and column values for Analyzer.

I almost never use the default bar chart in any case. So it's fairly annoying to open Analyzer, have to change the chart type and remove the randomly selected default columns. Especially if there is a large amount of data to be rendered.

It would also be helpful to add a "favorites" section for the chart types where users can star chart types they use the most so they are accessible quicker.

The current seemingly random selection of columns to pre-populate charts is unhelpful at best and time-wasting at worse. I think I can count on one hand the times I haven't had to delete every single randomly added column before adding my own.

Additionally there should be control of the default summary number, most charts I don't want it so it's added time to remove it.

Additionally users should be able to toggle on/off the re-rendering/re-querying of the chart. It's annoying to try to update many labels and column orders, just to have to wait for the chart to re-render each time. Would be great to be able to pause rendering and then have a manual refresh button to see the new changes in bulk. (much like excel manual/automatic calculation setting)

These features would also be beneficial to Domo as a company as it will save processing/computing power so unneeded charts aren't being queried and rendered for no reason.

IN SUMMARY

I think following settings should be added to allow for this.

• Set default chart type, or no chart until one is selected
• Ability to set zero default chart columns
• Set default Summary Number
• Ability to turn on and off automatic re-rendering/re-querying.
• Add a favorites section for the chart types to display users preferred chart types.
