Feedback & Feature Requests

the email stakeholders/subscribers receive whenever there’s a new update to a feed doesn’t communicate any information about the update. they’re just told Feed X has been updated and a CTA button to go into the tool to see the updates. they find that very frustrating because they’d rather get from the email some kind of preview of the update. we use feeds a lot at a high-level view that spans across multiple projects, so it’s hard for stakeholders to understand the context of the updates just from the email. is there any way for the update emails to contain at least a bit of the preview of the content they’re linking to?

When dragging a column in a table to make it larger, it disappears and does not take up all the space in a note or insight. You have to scroll to see the entirety of its contents.

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.

Hi! Sometimes, I ask for feedback when it comes to research plans, but even if I am the owner of the space/project, I cannot resolve the comment, which makes me frustrated since I have to ask the owner of the comment to manually delete it.

This is a paper cut issue but was working previously and now appears to be broken. I usually go ahead and edit the names of people in the transcript once it has finished uploading. I usually edit off one starting section. But now when I click the edit button for anyone who isn't the selected speaker it switches the speaker. Definitely an annoyance.

It would be great to be able to set notifications on the Dovetail Change Log Page ( https://dovetail.com/changelog/ ) that would notify you when new items are added to the page. As an Admin for our Dovetail instance it would be a good way for me to stay on top of all the amazing things Dovetail is building so I can make sure those are communicated to my stakeholder group.

It would be a huge asset to be able to build out the cluster feature to allow for clustering by metadata. I use fields to identify user segments as well as other grouping variables (e.g., site locations) and I'd like to be able to group highlights by those metadata variables to explore the data solely within those groups.

I often find designers not using the canvas board - and instead exporting the highlights to figjam - affinity mapping (and often doing this with a wider stakeholder group than people who would be in Dovetail as the ramp up to use Dovetail has a higher complexity as well as them not having licences) making user journey maps there. And to be honest it's hard to defend use the Dovetail canvas board instead - as typically they do all their discovery in Figjam - diagrams, ideation etc. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could build a Figjam widget / integrationy thingy which brought in all the highlight from a given project and synced with the canvas in some way.

I'd like to be able to assign folks to user groups so i can pre-set access levels before they login for the first time. It would make the admin experience much easier and would be a workaround for other problems with access level robustness.

Invite Dovetail to your Zoom, Meet, or Teams calls to auto-record the call and import it to Dovetail.
