Categorizing or organization of tools in spaces

It'd be of great help if it was possible to somehow organize the tools in a space differently than it is today. A few suggestions to possible options in my subjective prioritization on a scale of best to alright:

  • Creation of folders the tools could be dragged and dropped into/created in, in order to group e.g. a set of tools in multiple groupings
  • Drag and drop option to customize the order (could be bound to space admin)
  • Sort in the existing categories so all reports are together, workloads, dashboards etc.

We would like our teams to be able to navigate a little bit better, but they easily get overwhelmed when areas in the system appears to be "voluminous" in content.

This is a fantastic idea. I agree that the tools section can get a bit overwhelming.

Hi Maria Hermansen,

I've created a specific folder and mapped my reports in a table view.

I know is not the best option, but for me is very useful to organize my Wrike Analyze dashboards and reports.

For other tools I often use emoji to see immediatly reports

This is a must have improvement - we need. a way to better organize different reports and dashboards instead of just having them all listed there alphabetically.

The workarounds above are just that 'workarounds' but will not address the concerns of many power users.

I am upvoting this as well! An organizational folder structure of some sort is definitely a necessity so that we can better organize our tools and so that it's not so overwhelming.

My Tools is a dumpster fire as I help others create dashboards and reports.

Thank you, Ephemia Nicolakis and Kari Ticoulet for backing this idea! One thing that we can also suggest using is Space Bookmarks - you can add links and sections for your tools there as well.

Thank you Basudha Sakshyarika.  This doesn't solve the problem, though.  Since we are able to create folders for different projects, we should be able to create folders for Reports, Calendars, Dashboards, etc.  I create many dashboards for my org and unfortunately, they're all in one big list in spaces.  They're not useful to me, so it would be much easier to have one folder to move them all too.  The icons are not particularly useful at times and you can't change color either, so there's literally no way to organize.

Makes sense, Kari Ticoulet Thanks for highlighting ways to improve the organization of tools and for sharing extra details for our product team to consider. 😊

We are eager to have the option to sort dashboards, analysis boards, and reports in the Tools section. It would be great to have folders for better organization and the ability to control tool sharing. Ideally, we’d like to decide which tools are shared with whom, rather than making all tools visible to everyone in the space.

Please work on improved organization for TOOLS section, it is a mess trying to sort between reports and tools for leadership. Please enable FOLDER organization for TOOLS.
