A Nameable Default View and Subset

Post by comma »

I would like to have a default view and subset that could be named freely instead of just 'Default'.
Because you cannot tell what kind of a view or subset it is being just called 'Default'.

Instead of using the name to know which view is the default view, the system can use a small symbol, like the key symbol used for Private views and subsets.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. However if it were to be implemented I would hope (perhaps in vain) that it would be accompanied by functions across all aspects of the interface (worksheet, TI and API) which return the name of the default subsets (probably the default view name as well) so that other functions such as SubNM can use the name as needed.
