Ability to generate user access report for past 30 days showing user and report accessed

Add sorting options on DI widgets

For UI/UX matters, it would be very useful to be able to save widgets/views in either ascending or descending values, or by certain attributes, but the option is not available. Sorting and saving the report doesn't actually saves it organized as d...

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 ...
