Expand 'Cards' to view more than 4 queries / Allow 'skipping'

Currently, cards will only display 4 queries at a time but will cycle through 'pages' when more than 4 queries are added to a card. The cycling takes around 20 seconds. There is no user configurable option to reduce the time each page is displayed nor can the pages be manually skipped. As an example, a card containing 'number of assets inspected' for 12 individual inspector names would take between 40-60 seconds to cycle through 3 pages with 4 names per page. This is too long and not a practical way of getting an instant view of some basic summarized data.

Please enable cards to expand so that a higher number of queries can be displayed in a single view. Although it will occupy more screen area on the left hand side bar, it should be up to customers to control the cards that users see via permissions and manage 'clutter' appropriately instead of being restricted by the system.

Cards having multiple pages with fewer items isn't necessarily 'bad' but waiting 20 seconds per page is the main issue. An alternative solution would be to allow users to skip pages. This would need to be intuitive and achieved by a single click on a "see more" button for example. Currently there is no visual indication on the card that there are more 'hidden' queries so there is nothing telling the user to wait for the next page so the "see more" button would also serve as an indicator that there are more than 4 queries in the card.


Next to the title of the card there is a value, which seems to be a duplicate of whatever the result of the first query is. Could this be changed to be a sum / total of the results of all queries in the card? This may not be appropriate in all cases so would probably need to be optional. As a minimum we need to option to remove this numeric value from the card as users assume it is a total and it causes confusion.
