On old UI, Turbo displays a "?" symbol when you create an REGEX filter that shows 4 examples of REGEX expressions and how to use on Turbo. On the new UI, it does not show these tips. It would be good to bring these help tips back to the new UI.

In every list-based widget, show the number of rows visible vs the total rows in its data-set.

Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone. This should cover all places where a date and time is displayed - unless it came from an external source like in metadata. Maybe let a different format be chosen per widget if needed.

Having a consistent format across all tools would be very nice to have, so being able to define it in DI would help in that. Having everything default to UTC would be very nice since 100% of our reports are displayed in UTC and the SevOne cluster ...
