Add robust folder management

How does the product team envision the management of folders for an organization? What is the suggested best practice based on the product teams visions for folders? 

Our expectation is the folders are subject area or department focused.

Multiple Dashboard Designers should be able to place Dashboards in folders for a specific subject area.

However, it appears folders are dashboard designer focused. Where Sisense appears to want to have each Dashboard Designer with their own folder(s).

Being able to have multiple dashboards designers either create/move Dashboards into folders would be a sensible thing to support.  Or at least support group ownership of folders rather than for a single person. 

This has been discussed extensively by the product team, and there are no plans to include this in the roadmap at this time.

However, I am going to leave this post open to gather more votes and comments. Maybe we will see it included in a future release!

Definitely agree with this idea, managing with multiple users is a real pain.

Hello jeremy 

Thank you for submitting your Idea. Folder sharing is something that our product team is aware of, but it is not on the current roadmap. Hopefully, we will see it in a future release!

If you need something in the meantime, there are some plug-ins available on the Marketplace that may fill your need.

Hey jeremy_tabrasa 

I know you mentioned that you're looking for a native way to achieve this, the only way to do this without a plugin would be to modify the application db and this is highly not recommended doing this manually and without an expert. 

With that, at QBeeQ we do have an easy to use premium plugin which does exactly what you're looking for; share and republish or change ownership of entire folders in a single operation instead of going dashboard by dashboard.

If you'd like we can have a quick call to discuss this, feel free to reach out for either option,

Always here to help 🙂

Hi,

When exporting dashboards, we cannot export a folder with all their dashboards. Then, we need to export all the content, create the folder in the target environment, and then import all the contents in this new folder. We thought that the best approach is the ability to include folders as a asset to export. Then, when import, the whole folder structure is restored. If the folders exist in the target enviroment, just ask to overwrite, the same as a dashboard. 

Now, the export/import process is a little bit confusing.
