This was described on the forum (http://glu.977617.n3.nabble.com/RFC-Beyond-glu-3-0-0-glu-task-list-td3189425.html)

I have been doing some thinking about how to customize the dashboard and I think something like this would work:

* ability for a user to have more than 1 (named) dashboard view, each with its set of columns to show/hide, as well as the columns order. It should be easy for the user to switch from one dashboard to another. The console should remember which dashboard was being shown as the user navigates away and come back (this could be bookmarkable as well /dashboard/)
* ability for a user to create (named) "filters" (using the DSL defined @ http://linkedin.github.com/glu/docs/latest/html/filtering.html#goe-filter-syntax). Currently on the top right section, there is Fabric | product, I was thinking adding Fabric | product | filter. Filter would be selectable amongst all the filters that the user has created and would be sticky (like fabric and product). The "product" section is in fact a filter already but defined for all users (it is configurable and described here http://linkedin.github.com/glu/docs/latest/html/console.html#header). This feature would allow a user to add its own set of (arbitrary) filters

One way to look at the 2 previous features is:

* first feature allows you to configure the columns of the dashboard
* second feature allows you to configure the rows of the dashboard (which ones get displayed)
