Edit Visualization: drag and drop dimensions and metric

We often use the Alternative Dimentions and Alternative Metrics in the Apptio BI dashboards to allow our users with read-only access to add/hide dimensions. It would be great to have a drag and drop feature to move dimensions between Dimensions an...

Allow sorting and Top X result limits in ApptioBI stacked column graphs with two dimensions to be determined by total column measure height for the first dimension

csv data exports from ApptioBIvisuals with more than one layers should be delivered in a single file rather than a file per layer

Problem:Right now if a data export is generated for a graph visual with multiple layers configured, the export email will contain one file link per layer. For example, the S3 Storage Cost by Tier Graph in the AWS Services Overview report has seven...
