Option to shuffle or delete panes of the summarise tool #58

Open IanHopkinson opened 11 years ago

IanHopkinson commented 11 years ago

Some of the panes of the summarise tool are boring for my data, I'd like to either delete them, never to return or shuffle the panes so I can get the interesting ones in a screen shot.

Drag-and-drop reordering would be awesome, but I think it's prohibited by the masonry plugin we're using.

A simple "Hide" cross icon on each pane might be sufficient. But I'm not sure whether we should save this preference for future renders. And indeed what the "preference" really was… Say you hide a useless looking "column_name is always between x and y" pane, are you saying "never show me anything about the "column_name" column, or are you saying "never show me this particular summary ("between x and y") of this column", or are you saying "never show me this particular summary of any column"?

@IanHopkinson with more use, do you have any more ideas for simple fixes for this?

IanHopkinson commented 10 years ago

An alternative here would be to customise the summary tool for the twitter search and twitter followers tools.

I always knew what I wanted to see - I have no idea how to implement!

Yeah, I think we should avoid that for now - get more data in first, and help people get it out to Excel, Tableau and so on.

But worth watching for as we understand more use cases.

Umm... Actually, what did you want to see?
