Description -
One of the biggest pain points in Analysis Worskpace for my users is that they don't understand which dimensions and metrics should (and should not) be used together in freeform tables or other visualizations. Having a means to connect related dimensions and metrics so that when a user selects one component, the other related components become immediately visible in the left rail would make this easier for less advanced users.
Why is this feature important to you -
It would greatly help less experienced users become more familiar with how dimensions and metrics relate to each other and empower them to confidently select the right components for their needs with fewer mistakes and less need for support. It will also cut down on the amount of incorrect data shared company-wide due to misinterperetation of the data or use of the wrong components for their reporting needs.
How would you like the feature to work -
A UI tab where admins can create curated component collections, selecting the different dimensions and metrics that make sense to use together in reports. When a user pulls one of the components into a report, the left rail would be automatically filtered to show the related components at the top (like a "recommended" or "related content" feature on a website).
Current Behaviour -
Tags are the closest way to do this, but it's difficult to get users to remember to use them for filtering, and we have so many different tags, it's difficult to know which ones to use for which purpose.
