"Monitor in Hub" already allows adding of automatically updating chart snapshots in Collections, which can act as powerful personalized dashboards. For example, each team / task could have its own collection that quickly shows all relevant KPIs at a glance, and the user can click each chart to quickly navigate to relevant underlying apps with applicable selections. I would argue this to be the most powerful way to use Cloud Hub for most business purposes.
However, Collections are still very limited in terms of customization options, just a few of these features would make them much better and intuitive (similar features are available for e.g. all online photo albus or Windows start menu tiles):
- Support custom sorting of collection items
- Support sizing of collections items, perhaps I would like a taller table next to smaller line charts. At first maybe just provide ability to specify number of columns and rows shown (and if total number of items exceed this then scroll vertically). Later provide customizing options similar to Windows start menu tiles ie. different size of tiles, ability to add custom heading rows...
- Ability to add custom css for the collection which can be used to hide some elements or make them bigger/word wrap long labels etc. Would be great if I could create a browser bookmark to a collection with URL parameter stating "use collection's custom css and hide all Cloud Hub menus" to make a clean dashboard page. First iteration of this could be just allowing to add a URL parameter that removes Hub menus and another that specifies additional css file that is applied e.g. https://mytenant.eu.qlikcloud.com/collections/633a86badb8d64996c07193e?remove_menus=yes&load_css=htt...
- Ability to set access rights and share each collection with team members.
- Make "Monitor in Hub" even more powerful by storing the hypercube and not just the image, to make it similar to storytelling snaphots, and enabling changing of aspect ratios, visibility of labels and even exporting data of historical snapshot etc. when displaying as part of a collection.
