Customizing Columns on the Feature Request List

By default, your feature request page is set up with the following columns: “Feature Request”, “Feedback”, “MRR”, “Status”, “Priority”, and “Effort”.

You can customize these to better suit your workflow. In this article, we explain how. We’ll cover:

Why change the columns on the feature request page?

This feature is handy in several circumstances:

  1. You want to hide some of the columns that come by default; for example, Status, Priority, or Effort.

  2. You want to show attributes in the column that are not visible by default.

  3. You want to quickly view the total of a numeric attribute. For example, you may want to see the total lost deal MRR for each feature request.

How to add columns on your feature request page

1. Log into Savio and click your name in the top right corner. Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.

Now that column will now be displayed on the feature request page.

Note:

Numeric attributes in columns

Columns displaying numeric attributes will total the numeric value for the feature request. For example, if you choose to display the “Lost Deal MRR” attribute, the column will display the total lost deal MRR for each feature request. The value will be the sum of the total up the MRR of each person who requested that feature and ultimately did not purchase your product.

Note: Lost deal MRR is not a stock attribute—we’ve customized our Savio vault to include it. We’ll explain how to do this in a future article.
