Report Summary and Grouping: add custom formatting
A few things that would improve Report Summary and Grouping:
- Ability to format the summary data (IE into $ format)
- Grouping by contact column
- Pull summary data as a metric into a Dashboard
Thanks!
Re: April Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
I would travel the world, without fear of environments, cultural differences, language barriers, etc.
I'm routinely of the mindset my nerves would keep me from exploring all the corners of a place, thinking I would look too touristy, too lost. If I could not fail- I would see all the worldly places my heart longs to see.

What would you try if you knew you couldn't fail?
Oh, the things I would do....number one I would gamble. The lottery, slot machines, or even if someone said, "Wanna bet?"
Change Formatting in Reports
It would be very convenient to be able to format a report different than the sheet. One purpose of a report is to bring multiple sheets of data together, but often those different sheets have different formatting which can make your report look awful. If you could format your report at the report level, it would solve all sorts of formatting issues.
Reduce Emails! Please Tweak New Assets Ownership Logic
Can you please make a slight enhancement to the new Assets Ownership Logic?
To be clear, our team is in favor of the new Asset Ownership Model – it makes sense and ultimately is a good thing. That said, our team (30+ people) is dealing with an influx of emails because every time an individual requests access to specific sheets inside our workspace all Admins get notified. Due to the nature of our work all members of our team are Admins inside the workspace, and we are not going to change that.
- We understand from this article that the new logic looks to see if there is an active owner or Admin of an asset, then sends the access request emails to all active owners and admins
- These access request “email blasts” are currently going out to our entire team daily, which is having a negative effect
- Our request is that the logic get updated (slightly) where the first step in the logic is looking for an active owner and sending the access request solely to that active owner
- If no active owner exists then the next step would be sending the access request to all Admins
- This small update to the logic would have a significant positive impact to our team

More about me:
One of my goals for 2024 is to expand my horizons, cultivate new hobbies and skills, and to not be afraid of being a beginner with a lot to learn.
I’m lucky to live in an area with lots of cool things to do, so my only issue was choosing what to do first. However, when I discovered a newly opened pottery studio, I knew it was the perfect place to start. My first project was the cup you see in the photo, and I’ll definitely go back to keep on improving, and learning new techniques. I also look forward to showing my results to our team’s pottery expert — Genevieve!
Next, I decided to get myself a rosemary plant. I don’t have a green thumb (at all) but I’ve wanted to try for a long time, so here’s hoping my plant will thrive in the end. I’ll also attend a watercolors class this weekend, but I welcome suggestions for what I should try out next. 👀
Learning something new can be intimidating, but it’s also fun to have a whole new world to discover, so don’t ever let that discourage you!

Sticky Notes?
Our group uses dashboards as an overall communication tool for various things, but some type of sticky note (like post its), or an editable "white board" could be of serious use to us.
A place to stick a notable topic, or reminder to the team, or an individual, or track a rolling to do list right on a dashboard would be a dream! Bonus if they could be individually color formatted or allow for @ mentions!
Has there ever been any consideration for a feature like that? Even if a rich text widget could have a toggle option to be live editable, it would do wonders for our team!
