Section Headers on Dashboards
I would like to be able to add a Section Header on dashboards. For Example: a current dashboard may contain data for 3 different pieces of data that belongs to one site. I want to be able to TITLE the sections - Section 1, Section 2, Section 3, so that when paging down the dashboard there is a specific division between the data.
The issue is that if I create a dashboard for each site with each piece of data I will have 18 different dashboards and that's just unwieldy to manage. Also, only 4 + 1 tab shows across…

Retrieve Value from Grand-Parent Table?
Is it possible to retrieve the value from a field in a grand-parent table?
I've tried modifying the format of retrieving from a parent field by adding additional "connectors", but not getting it to work.
Sample:
{Table Name}.{Relationship Name}.{Relationship Name}.{Field Name}, or
{Table Name}.{Relationship Name}.{Table Name}.{Relationship Name}.{Field Name}I could "step" the values down one level at a time, but thought it would be easier to go straight to the source.
Thanks

Changing the Font Color for Field Values
Is there a way of changing the font color for field values?
We can change the form background and label colors, but not the color of the field values which remain black.
This makes is difficult to read on darker background colors.

Add tool tips to views/fields
Add tooltips to views/fields/flows.
The text widget is kind of klunky. Tooltips would be a more elegant solution for fields, but would also be useful to explain the purpose of a view or flow before someone jumps into one.

Is it possible to add comments when writing a long formula?
In most languages you can add comments that does not affect the code or formula. Out of habit I tried to use ' but that didn't seem to work. Does trackvia allow for this kind of thing and if so what is the symbol or text?
E.g.
If({Field} = 1, A + B, A + C)

'unlock' a calculated field?
I have a date calculate field that needs to be manually changed every now and then, maybe 1 in 10 records don't follow the pattern and need a custom date.
I used the term 'unlock' because there is a small padlock in the top right corner of the box (image attached if you don't know what I'm talking about) so I am hoping there is a way to 'unlock' the field so that I can manually change the date.
If you need anymore information let me know.

How do I filter views based on business days?
We have a view that is shared with our contractor showing jobs completed today as well as jobs due tomorrow. We do not work on Saturday so Friday's view doesn't have anything due tomorrow. I set up and shared another view to show the jobs with a due date 3 days from now to help account for this issue on Fridays. Is there a way to combine both views by showing only the next "business" day?

Is there a toggle for case-sensitive?
I know that the search function is not case-sensitive, but uploading records to the database seems to be. We use email address as a unique identifier when uploading new info and will always end up with duplicate records when someone enters their email address differently than previous. For example, Ta305@gmail.com versus ta305@gmail.com would create a dupe.
Is there a toggle somewhere to tell the DB to ignore upper case?

How do I prevent paste of non-printable characters like line feeds?
Many of the users paste data in from Excel & other sources, frequently we get spaces, tabs, line feeds & other non-printables in the data fields. Can we simply disallow those characters without disturbing the users' process? Even if we end up impacting the users, is there any method to prevent this - or to "scrub" at export time?
