Preset Feature Feedback
What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?
There is a few to many clicks to show the description of a chart.
How are they solving it currently?
Users have to click on the ellipse icon on a specific chart and then click on "Show description" to show the chart description on a dashboard.
What is the recommended solution by the Customer?
Make the description render in a pop up on a hover action, rather than have them permanently rendered.
There is a current workaround that Jason shared, which involves the dashboard developer editing the
expand_slicesconfig. This is not an ideal solution for the following reasons:We were hoping for a single toggle or menu option which is available to end users, not only available to developers
This is another maintenance overhead for dashboard developers, now we have to make sure the
expand_slicesconfig is up to date with each iteration of development (also it would be nice if the config name was more descriptive of the feature, e.g.show_chart_descriptions)The 3-digit chart IDs used in this config do not persist when you export dashboards/charts from one workspace and import to another, so we we would need to build into our CI/CD pipeline a custom solution to edit these IDs depending on our dev/stg/prd workspace
Hope that this can be turned into a user-facing feature, rather than limited to developers. Thanks
Also, if the chart is small and the description longer, then the chart is not visible when the description is rendered.
We also need the ability to toggle on/off the chart description at dashboard level than for each individual charts
