Remember/Default pivot for table widgets

When you define a table widget and select a desired pivot the later is not saved, this becomes inconvenient when you have a dashboard with multiple tables that require the same pivot.

The desire is to be able define a default pivot when creating a table widget or as an alternative remember user selected pivot when interacting with specific dashboards.

As an user when I navigate back and fort from specific  dashboards I want Cloudability to remember my preferred visualization(pivot) for the table widgets.

    Submitting the following comment on behalf of the customer, Federal Reserve Board:

    Not only it would extremely convenient for oneself to save the pivot state for next time, it would also be nice to tell the CIO and other high level people "Go to dashboard X, and you will find all the info you need", and not have to say "oh, make sure you select pivot by month in the 20 widgets in that page.".

    IBM, please add a "default pivot by" option when creating a table widget with two or more dimensions, so that when the user opens the dashboard the data is displayed in the right format right away.

    Thank you in advance!
