Most-needed new feature?

[Heather Piwowar]

Is there a feature that would make Unsub much more useful for you?  Let us know!

Our analysis is mostly taking place in the exported spreadsheet, looking at the various metrics and toggling the Subscribed column between TRUE and FALSE (and a MAYBE for further investigation).

It would be nice if there were a way to upload ISSN and Subscribed to create a new scenario and highlight the journals that we've kept in the blue histogram.  Otherwise, to get the payoff of looking at that final graph, we'll need to hunt through, search each title, and change its status to Subscribed.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for that feedback! 

One way to get this type of workflow is to actually make your TRUE/FALSE decision in the "table view" of the scenario itself. Then you can switch back to the histogram view, and it'll be automatically updated. That's what we had in mind when we created these two views.

But it sounds to me (and correct me if I'm wrong) that that the in-app "table view" is not really meeting your needs here, since you're having to export to an external spreadsheet.

Do you think there are changes to the Table View that would allow you to conduct your analysis there, instead of using an external spreadsheet? We'd be interested in that. If we can make it so you don't have to export to a spreadsheet, then the loop between analysis and visualization can be very tight.

Good morning,  

I think that two useful features to have would be a "notes" field or even tablet to the side where the scenario creator could add in specific notes about decisions, weird stuff, etc.  The second thing that would be super helpful would be the ability (through color or a filter or something) to distinguish between list price and custom uploaded pricing.  It's really useful to KNOW what pricing is discounted and what is list price when doing scenario calculations.

Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks Ellie, those are great suggestions!
