Context I’m a report designer working with complex pages that require many slicers. This is a feature request, not a bug report. The default slicer visuals currently limit dense layouts and create friction for end-users on laptops.   Feature requests for the default Slicer Side-docked header (header + body laid out left/right) Current behavior: The slicer header is fixed above the control, with the title text stuck at the top-left. Header and body can only be stacked vertically. Pain: On 16:9 or 16:10 laptop screens, vertical space is precious. When many narrow slicers are needed, a top header wastes height and prevents tighter layouts. Request: Add a left/right header docking option so the header can sit beside the slicer body (left or right). Include basic controls for header width, alignment, and padding. Keep the current top-stacked layout as default. Calendar popup scales to the user’s screen, not the report canvas Current behavior: With a date field, clicking the calendar icon opens a popup whose size is tied to the report canvas pixels. Pain: On smaller laptop displays the calendar is tiny, hard to read, and error-prone to click. Request: Make the date picker responsive to the user’s screen (or zoom level), ensuring minimum legibility and touch targets. Search style with customizable placeholder text Current behavior: The default slicer lacks a dedicated search style and cannot show guiding placeholder text. Pain: With long value lists, users struggle to find items quickly; a hint in the input would teach users how to filter. Request: Provide a search variant and allow a custom placeholder/hint (e.g., “Type to filter…”, localized).     Why this matters for complex reports My pages often include many fields and filters. I rely on bookmarks and groups to show/hide slicers, but maintaining bookmarks page by page is heavy overhead. Compared with modeling and measures, the current visual layer costs me more time than it should. Related asks (broader visualization UX): Batch edit / duplicate bookmarks Page grouping and “bookmark → go to page” Visual floating/fixed docking and more reliable z-order Better font support (including Chinese) These aren’t “nice-to-have” aesthetics—they directly affect usability, authoring time, and the learnability of reports with real-world complexity.     I fully recognize that BI is about data and measures, but good visual design is not cosmetic—it’s the foundation of usability. Recent updates have focused on “visual calculations,” while core layout and interaction options have seen little movement. For those of us building dense, production reports, the lack of basic layout flexibility (like a side-docked slicer header or a readable calendar) turns routine design into unnecessary wrestling. I hope the team can prioritize these small but high-impact UX upgrades. They would save authors significant time and make Power BI friendlier for the many users working on laptops.     ... View more
