Add manage Visualization in folder

[nasirus]

When we have many Visualization (More then 100) in production environnement, it becomes hard to manage it , so i suggest to add a feature to manage Visualization in folder something like in SSRS (Sql server reporting services) :

thx for the feature request @nasirus. I can see how this would be valuable. You seem to want the ability to organize your visualizations in folders.

As a work-around, right now, you could add some description to your visualization and search on that. Current users often now use structured values in these description fields to make searching easier. For example: "groupFoo - line chart for foo", "groupFoo - histogram for foo", "groupBar - line chart for bar"

any news to this topic ?
the feature is needed !

[felix-lessoer]

Any updates? Customers are asking again.

another year is over. This feature is still highly needed. Any updates ?
it is impossible to handle large spaces with many visualizations / dashboards. I cannot give this to my less experienced users.

I'll add my reasons for proposed prioritization from the dup issue I recently filed;

Let's use the telemetry cluster as an example. This instance has a large number of custom visualizations intermixed with the growing number of OOB visualizations. These are displayed in a list format at up to 50 per page which results in a paged list of approximately 450 visualizations.

If these could be grouped into folders, which could be expanded and contracted, they could be organized by topic or commonalities for the benefit of these user personas:

• an occasional user, such as a business or engineering stakeholder, wants to browse visualizations on a certain topic (and is not finding them by searching because they do not have a way of knowing what they are named) without a lot of paging
• an analyst wants to locate and examine a particular set of viz objects after seeing them in a dashboard, but does not recall their names.
• an analyst working on dashboards wants to set aside some of the OOB visualizations and focus on a particular set of custom viz objects.
• an analyst working on dashboards wants to set aside all of the OOB visualizations and focus on a particular subset.
• an analyst wants to re-organize the visualizations into an alternative grouping that meets their needs.

does tagging help support this use case? we have also modified dashboards so when you add a visualization it's "by value" (aka local to the dashboard and not in the library).

still needed.

like i said already 1 year ago:
