Problem:
Widget titles are automatically pulled from the report name, which creates a UX conflict: report names need to be descriptive for discoverability and organization (e.g. "Avg NPS Current Quarter (Accounts XYZ Only)", but that same string becomes the widget title in dashboards, where it often gets truncated with ellipses.

This is a behaviour across all report types, but it's especially noticeable with KPI widgets, which occupy a small space and rely heavily on a clean, readable title to communicate value at a glance.


 

The ask:
Allow admins to set a custom display title at the dashboard/widget level, independently of the report name when desired. The report name stays untouched for search and organization, but on the dashboard, you could show something concise like *"Avg NPS Current Quarter"*, which is enough when the surrounding context already tells the story. As a nice complement, the full report name could be shown on hover prefixing the report description.

This would be rad. I use longer names and append tags to reports for admin logistics and sorting, but users don’t want to see all that stuff and it makes the names ugly. Dashboard-level aliasing would be a great fix for that.
