Hi team, apologies if these points were already raised elsewhere.

Use Case 1: I need to select all reports within a folder in order to delete them. 

Currently I have to manually click on each report or command+click into each report to be able to select multiple reports at once. I had a Report Backup folder full of 200+ reports post NXT migration that I wanted to delete. I had to manually click on each on to delete. THEN

Use Case 2: I need to select all of the deleted reports to delete permanently so that I can actually delete the report.

Despite “deleting” all of the reports, it turns out they were NOT deleted permanently, and now I have to do the same thing within the Trash folder to be able to delete the other folder. 

 

I thought, ok, there’s got to be a way to filter all of my reports..maybe I can filter to all of the reports titled with “BackUp” and then the delete option will appear? Not the case, because I can’t even filter based on report name (see below). 
 

 

Idea 1: Have a checkbox at the top left so we can “Select All”. 
Idea 2: Add the ability to filter by the column names.

@ana_g thank you for sharing, we will look into this in the second phase of HA.

The ability to delete all reports in trash would be a huge time-savor! We can only view 60 reports at a time, and although I can use “shift+select” to highlight all of the reports in view, this is still a massive waste of time. 

I don’t love that it takes multiple actions to delete a report, in the first place, but cleaning up the hundreds of backup reports that the NXT migration team created is really annoying.

Definitely need this!
The lack of this feature caused us a real headache during migration. We ended up having to ask Support to bulk delete all our Bionic rules from the backend (just to skip the unwanted ones). It feels like selecting (and being able to filter by) all in a folder should be a basic and easy win!

Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection
