SKY View: Edit current view without saving

In Classic you could edit a view without having to edit the saved view - this allowed me to quickly add a column for a check or review that was a one-off, without having to edit a standard view, or create a new view. That functionality appears to be gone in SKY. Bring it back please!

    It is getting a bit tedious to ask for features which we had before. We lost features of GIFTS Alta when we moved to BBGM and now again. Perhaps better discussions with clients who use the software extensively would prevent this happening in future?

    I agree with my peers that we also need to be able to lock column widths. Please address this soon.

    I agree with all below, since the lock columns was on the merged idea, it is confusing to show this status as shipped. Can you let us know if the column lock in workspace view, request records and dashboards is still being addressed.

    This just shows as shipped and I love the ability to modify your view without saving the view-Thank you for bringing this back. But, the 2nd idea that was merged with this one was to be able to lock the column width (ie staff ID is 3 characters but the width in display is wide and it cannot be locked to be small. If you make small, every time you refresh or open/close a record, it defaults back to being wide). Was this addressed in this "shipped" status?

    I agree! Why do we have to keep voting on things that should carry over? This is an important feature.

    I question why we have to keep voting on features we had in Classic. It should be a given that all would be rolled over with SKY.

    Both features are needed. Not only in dashboards but in general views as well we need a way to lock the column widths. I'd also ask you to consider the ability to adjust the width and depth of dashboard tiles. It is a shame that moving to Sky seems to be a backwards step and we have to ask for useful features to be returned.

    Returning this feature saves a lot of time when you need to add/remove a column here and there throughout the day. Atm having to review and amend saved views then most of the time having to amend the view back takes a lot of time.

    Adding and removing columns/fields on the fly is a feature regularly used by all our staff. In most instances it doesn't make sense to add a new view or change a saved view. I think we should be getting more functionality with SKY but it seems more is being taken away!

    The ideas that have been merged are both necessary. Being able to lock column widths and adding or removing columns to your workspace view temporarily are functions from classic that allow us to work efficiently.

    same - this feature needs to be bought back in otherwise we will be overrun with saved views that will become unmanageable

    I use this feature every day in Classic. If you quickly want to add a column but really do not want to create or modify a view-it is just a one off field result you need quickly.
