Enhance Cloudability native Dashboards with advanced visualisations and OR-based filtering Merged

We would like to transition our reporting from Apptio BI to Cloudability native Dashboards, particularly due to the better performance experienced with native Dashboards. However, some key reporting capability gaps currently prevent us from fully making this transition.

The following enhancements would help us enable wider adoption of native Dashboards:

1. Wider range of visualisations
Support additional visualisation types similar to those available in Apptio BI, particularly stacked bar charts. A broader set of visualisations would provide greater flexibility in presenting cost, usage and allocation information directly within Cloudability Native Dashboards.

2. OR-based filtering across dimensions
Enable filters across different dimensions to be combined using OR logic, rather than supporting only AND logic.

For example:

Service Name = GCP Compute Engine OR Product Name = GCP Vertex AI

This capability is important when a reporting scope consists of services or products identified through different dimensions. Without cross-dimension OR logic, certain reporting requirements cannot be replicated accurately in native Dashboards.

Our preference is to move away from Apptio BI and consolidate reporting on Cloudability native Dashboards due to their better performance. However, the current visualisation and filtering limitations mean that some existing reporting use cases still require Apptio BI.

Closing these gaps would enable organisations to consolidate more reporting within Cloudability native Dashboards while benefiting from their improved performance.
