DataSet Folders

As our dataset count in Domo grows, managing and finding the right ones is becoming more challenging. Right now, everything sits in a single list in the Data Center, and while filters and tags help, they’re not enough for long-term organization.
It would be a huge improvement if we could group datasets into folders, similar to how cards and pages are organized. This would help with:
- Keeping datasets organized by team, project, or use case
- Reducing confusion and accidental duplication
- Making data governance and maintenance more manageable
Curious if others feel the same — this seems like a simple but powerful update that could really improve the user experience.

There was some spicy debate on this one on the merits of tags over folders:
