Currently there's only one layer of tagging system, but I think it is quite important to have another layer of tagging. Eg. we do general tagging - pain points, goals, etc. then descriptive tags, pain points - difficult to navigate. It would be awesome if we can do tagging under the pain point tags, the bigger tags.

When I would like to "Group by" by the specific Global Field is showing the whole list of all options that are in this Global Field, while it should only group by the options that I used in my Data in this Project. Now, to see only relevant options from Global Fields to make some comparison I have to hide all others options, which often times is the list of tens options, which is really irritating and cumbersome.

Being able to make groups is helpful. However, I often observe the need to create sub-groups of tags within these groups, as there can be multiple underlying relationships between tags within a group. For particularly complex projects, I currently have to leave Dovetail and have to use other tools once I reach that stage of analysis where I'm trying to establish relationships between tags. It would be amazing if there was a way to make a sub-group within a group in a tag board.

It would be great to be able to either create a report as a slide deck, or (better yet) to convert a finished insight into a slide deck. It feels clunky to give a presentation, share my screen, and just scroll through my insights report. Also, unfortunately, most information at my company is circulated via PowerPoint, so it would be nice to be able to send someone a set of slides to look through - that's how they expect to consume internally produced content.

I'd like an autoscroll-function. So that when I'm listening to an interview and simultaneously reading the transcript, the transcript keeps up with the cursor that highlights the currently spoken words/interview (instead of me having to scroll down to keep up). Additionally, you could add a 'click here to go to current section', when a user scrolls up to check something and isn't seeing the transcript of what is currently said.

I'm facing challenges when collaborating on notes and insights with multiple Dovetail users. Sometimes I return to a document after a few days and find significant changes, but I can't see who made those changes or revert to a previous version if needed. I'd also like to see the history of the comments on a note or insight, and love that the 'ability to resolve comments on insights and notes' is currently being upvoted as I believe that's a crucial feature as well.

So timeconsuming to add tags to insights. Improve the interaction in generel. Do some user testing.

It would be a huge improvement if there were resizeable containers on Canvas OR the ability to toggle tag truncation off/on when it's off, the tag will modify the card container size, so long tags will force the card to be really wide we have this behavior for really long highlights which extend the container vertically (with an expand/collapse toggle)

Can we please have more than 2 levels of hierarchy for tags/codebook systems? I think the ability to nest tags at least 3-4 levels down would be enormously helpful.

The visualization of tags and tag groups are kind of useful. But it would be great if we could create a nework diagram of codes/tags used. Visualizing the relationship between different codes spatially would be super helpful. Additionally, a network diagram of codes will be super helpful. Showing how different codes are realted in a network diagram would be a great way to identify themes in the data.
