PLanning Analytics for Excel Interface/ Set Editor Enhancement Requests

1. In Exploration view, there is no way that users can "turn off" the working/refresh of the view they have pulled. Can this be developed similar to the cube view whereby auto-recalculate can be turned off such that users can select their dim elements ( skip that "working" time frame) and that only happens AFTER They click on the REFRESH sheet? Having the tab constantly "refresh" after a change in dim is a pain especially when there are users sitting very far away from where the physical servers are located ( think EU/US vs Asia distance).
Print screen 1 of attached doc.

2. In the Exploration View, if one has anything more than 8 dims thereabouts (depending on screen/mointor size) users have to click on the arrows to go right to view the other dims and AFTER selection of the dim, the entire content bar then moves BACK to the left and users have to click RIGHT again to find their dims. Why can't it just stay where it is.
And can the dims be condensed into the screen rather than having the users to scroll left and right? (Print screen 2)

3. PAX Set Editor does not have the ability to expand parent element on the left pane when said parent element was found in a SEARCH. If the default view set (via perspectives or TM1WEB) already has the parent element, then it is expandable but if we do a search we cannot expand it on the left pane.

4. In TM1 WEB and cube view subset editor in Perspectives/Architect we have an option of : showing all.
Where is this option in the set editor of PLanning analytics for Excel? There is a display ALL MEMBERS in hierarchy but that doesn't seem to SHOW ALL when clicking on it.
Print screen 4

5. I understand that in Planning Analytics Excel, there are custom styles and parent and child elements are indented, is there any way that we could also add a different color to the different levels of elements in the exploration view?

    I've closed this idea as not under consideration. However, this idea represents multiple enhancement requests, some of which have already been implemented. The set editor request (item 3) has been implemented in current versions of the set editor.

    If the remaining ideas are still relevant please open a single idea for each enhancement request. The IBM Planning Analytics product team will respond to individual enhancement requests.
