Allow renaming of data blocks in report builder

Current status: when you build a multiple data blocks in the same Excel file using report builder, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between them. It is currently possible to group them based on metrics, dimension, or what sheet they're on. But if you have multiple data blocks with all the same components but just different date ranges, it's very difficult to tell them apart in the list of data blocks. 

 

How the feature should work: when making a data block there should be an option to give it a name. The ability to name data blocks will allow users to more easily distinguish between similar data blocks and make it easier to maintain their reports. 

 

Why this feature is important: the new report builder has been such a huge upgrade from the legacy version, but it can still be improved upon. Having named data blocks will make it easier when trying to maintain reports and share them with others.

And if not a “name” maybe allow us to add tags to each request.

 

Then there could be a column for tags in the manage tab, and you would be able to search by tag (#value), as well as add a group by tags.

 

Heck, if we could get both a name and tags, that would provide a lot of additional management options.
