Seeing that the Wish list for WEBi & BO is growing quite large, I am curious what everyone would change/add/modify in any of the BO products (WEBi, BO, BCA, Application Foundation, Acta, etc.) if they could only change ONE THING?
What ONE thing would you pick? Please, submit only ONE entry per per person.

We should have the option of Drilling from a Report to a Graph

More control over the drill path – drill down multiple levels, drill across/within, up multiple levels.
Or that the applets are more reliable, requiring less use of the Refresh button.

Ability to filter on aggregate measures.

I would have said Variables in Webi, but that’s coming in the next release.
Then I would have said the ability to drill on a table and chart on the same report at the same time, but that’s coming in the next release. Saw both of these at the conference in Miami. 
My number one request would be to see a true background client for processing full client reports. In other words, move the Unix architecture down to the NT platform. My expectation would be that the software would be more reliable (using a dedicated package instead of trying to make a foreground app work in the background), more efficient (less overhead if written properly) and other advantages as well.

I agree with Eileen. Multiple data providers is a big deal.

The removal of all mentions of DRILL in sales presentations by Business Objects.
When I go into a new work environment, I always hear: “The salesman told us we can drill, We want drill down capabilities, we love drill, we use drill all the time.” Wrong. In every instance, what they are reffering to as “drill” is actually a link to a different report based on the location of a cell in the report; different layout, different data, sometimes different criteria. I then have to re-educate people to what drill actually is, the ability to see an additional level of detail for a current row of the current report, in the same report format.
BusinessObjects and WebI can do what they are asking with hyperlinks, but explaining the difference and trying to get people to reffer to it all correctly and maintaining the numerous report variations required, is a headache I would rather avoid.
In 4 years of BusinessObjects development, I have never had a report with true drilling make it into production.

Have BusinessQuery-type ability to select In-List from an Excel range – but without having to have BusinessQuery.

Be able to control colors in all graphs, not just columnar graphs
Is that so wrong???
