Just a few thoughts on making model design and management easier.
Hiding/Rearrangement of columns in Blueprint view
In modules Blueprint view, the default columns can't be moved or hidden. If I want to view a line item dependency, i.e. the "Referenced By" column and scroll to the extreme right, then the "Formula" column goes out of screen. User should be able to hide/rearrange columns so that scrolling can be minimized and design work can be more efficient.
Error checking
When user makes an error, e.g. enter wrong formula, select wrong format, etc, it takes a long time for the system to recognize the error and return an error message. However, when a correct formula or format is applied, things happen almost instantly. So, error checking needs to be optimized here.
Space usage enquiry
The space usage shown in the "Model Settings" tab (and displayed in the "Manage Models" tab) seem to change in increments of 0.93GB.
For instance, I deleted 100million cells in a module and the space usage remains unchanged. But if I delete another 10million cells, the space usage gets updated, along with a popup message showing the new space usage.
The space usage reporting needs to be more granular and updated in real time, so that user can manage space better. Furthermore, it will be more useful to show the actual space consumption in MB/GB in the overall lists/modules view.
It will also be helpful if user can audit the space consumption of all lists and modules within the model and display the results in a page/chart. Currently, I have to do the tedious work of copying the overall lists/modules view to Excel and doing the cell-count-to-GB conversion.
