Summary

In order to create more beautiful, modern and clearer Dashboard the whole Dashboard-setup should be modernized.
The design-modernization should also be applied to the reports.

This ticket is supposed to be an ongoing list to track ideas and inspiration

This should include

• A new layout system
  A row-based layout in order to allow different columns per row

• Design-options

  • Custom background colors for widgets and rows for visual separation
  • Font-size settings (e.g for KPI widgets)
  • Conditional colors: change color based on the value (custom colors and limits)

• Editing mode
  Right now we can view the settings ALWAYS by hovering over a widget. I suppose that customization options should only be displayed when activating an "edit mode". This provides a clearer UI and prevents from changing anything unintentionally

• Hide empty values
  An option to hide empty values from tables and bar-charts

• Comparable option
  Add options to display comparable values everywhere (compared to insights view - e.g add graph line from previous month)

• Update data
  There's already an option to re-fetch the data for a single widget. A button to update all widgets would be lovely

• Modernize UI
  The graphs (especially the line-graph) feel pretty fashioned and could be modernized (see examples below)

• Save selected time period
  Right now the analytics period always jumps back to global user-default ("day" by default). For some dashboard that doesn't makes any sense at all. I'd suggest to save the period selected in the editing mode mentioned above

• Limit dashboard for specific sites
  Custom created dashboards are available on all sites. I'd suppose to add a whitelist and a blacklist option to enable or disable the dashboard just for specific sites
