Today, I can create Reports, Pivots, Views in various tabs, and at various product levels. However, it gets very confusing after a while, when trying to find a specific view that I had created in the past. Another issue is that a view or report I create is "stuck in time" with the releases, features, products that existed at that point in time. To update the report or view to include the latest updates means I have to look at the filters and manually select each and every change again.
If you think about a lifecycle of products, releases and features, the format of the reports is less likely to change compared to the releases and features introduced. Hence it makes sense to have the report, pivot or view pickup all the newer updates rather than having the user check each report or view and update these.
Request the following:
1) All Reports, Pivots, Saved Views in one place. Keep the flexibility of being able to save views within any of the tabs, but give a central "One View"
2) Always uptake newly introduced released and products into existing reports. Or at the time of loading the view or report, ask the user about including newly included releases/features or products.
