Have a "Feature Toggle" to allow reports to be checked in and out.

When downloading you could have a box asking if you want to check the report out. Then when uploading it would automatically check the document in for you.

If you are downloading or uploading a report that has been checked out by another user it could warn you that the report is checked out by another user. It wouldn't stop you downloading or uploading, just a warning. If you are uploading and someone else uploaded a report when you had it checked out it could warn you that someone else had uploaded when checked out by you.

This would be good for ensuring there is no over writing of changes being made. Also when refreshing DEV and UAT environments it would indicate which reports might be wiped.

We have a suite of reports in an app which utilises the cached department/entity selection to drive all the reports. One of the reports provides the ability to show a list of departments rather than just one department and the selection is user defined. We would like to be able to favourite the set of selections for the report so when it refreshes it defaults to this favourite list rather than the cache. Our workaround is to open the page into a different window and save the link as a favourite in our web browser or copy it to a comments box in Calumo. Not ideal as it adds an extra step.

The CCHARTSELECTIONS formula requires a horizontal range of cells in which to reside. With dashboards that we are creating, we are using 'buttons' (created by way of a stacked bar chart) for department, employment basis, or other 'filters' to slice data - and are placing these down the left-hand side of the dashboard.

It would be great to be able to host the CCHARTSELECTIONS option in a vertical range of cells rather than needing a horizontal range. This would mean that down the left-hand side of dashboards we can have the drill/filters AND the chart selections controls, rather than having to take up valuable real estate in the main 'information' part of the dashboard.

It would also be helpful to be able to include CCHARTSELECTIONS more than once on a dashboard. For a large dashboard, being able to have controls at top and bottom would be good.

Our business area have raised a idea to allow Publications to send mulitsheet workbooks to non-calumo users. Effectively create a reporting pack to send to staff each month.

Non-calumo users won't have Calumo addon on their computers.
We don't want to send reports as an image or PDF but rather send using 'Excel as values' (i.e. no Calumo Formula).

Our preference is one report with several tabs (multiple sheets) each refreshed/updated and output as values only.

The driver behind this idea is to limit sending multiple emails and just have one containing several reports.

If multisheet reports are not possible, can Publications be improved to select multiple reports to send as seperate attachments in a single email.

We are providing our users with web based reports with commentary.

The commentary functionality allows for more commentary than fits in the viewable box which detracts from the usability and look and feel.

1) The box which comes up to enter text is larger than the text that will actually display. It would be good at a minimum if they matched so you could be sure that the text you typed before the scroll bar appears was going to be visible in the box on the report

2) When the text typed in the box is greater than the size of the box a popup in blue comes up when you hover over the box - this covers the rest of the content of the box and is not ideal in terms of look and feel

3) We have a workaround where we are putting in a character limit per box. This is manual as we need to work out the number of characters and assume the font size won't be changed.
