Dashboarding with custom graph settings across report suites

Hi,

I'm trying to create a dashboard with the following:

  1. a customized reportlet showing a bubble chart instead of a bar graph,
  2. show the first 30 items sorted by a calculated metric,
  3. not show the calculated metric in the graph,
  4. be able to switch report suites in the dashboard while maintaining the reportlet settings. 

I know for a bubble chart Report & Analytics will use the first three metrics selected, 1st for X axis, 2nd for Y axis, and 3rd for Bubble Size. Once I have the chart the way I want to show it, I create the reportlet in one of my report suites and add it to the Dashboard. Here are the problems I'm facing when I switch report suites while viewing the Dashboard:

- The default setting is to always sort by the first metric when changing report suites. So I placed my weighted metric first and chose to not graph it, however when I change suites while in a dashboard the chart will now show it.

- If I move the weighted metric to the 4th column and sort by it, then whenever I switch report suites the dashboard will now sort by the first metric instead of the 4th.

Any ideas of what I can do here to keep the sorting settings when switching suites?

Just FYI - Engineering team at Adobe identified this as a bug so they are addressing, but there is no release date given.

If I include a reportlet for each suite I'd get the same data, but I'd end up with a much larger dashboard as well.... Shouldn't I be able to leverage the report suite selection of Reports & Analytics? The data varies greatly by suite because each suite is a different brand.

Ideally I should be able to create the template dashboard with the custom reportlets and then just switch report suite to see data relevant to each brand, no?

Would using two (or more) separate reportlets of the same report do the trick for you?
