Warehouse Custom Views Improvements!

Hey everyone,

I’m Thomas, an engineer on the warehouse team at Benchling. Thanks for all your feedback on custom views. We've taken it into account--here are some improvements we've made to the feature!

1. You can now use parameters with fixed values in views. For example, if you write SELECT id FROM entity WHERE created_at > {{Date}}, and your parameter Date is set to 2021-01-02, your view will be created with the query: SELECT id FROM entity WHERE created_at > 2021-01-02.
   1. Note: Once a view is created, its query is static and will not change.
2. You can create a view from a subset of your insights query (just highlight the desired text). You can also edit the query in the creation form now.
3. Views will now be recreated by the automated warehouse sync process when possible. This means that it should be much less likely for your views to be dropped.
4. If you attempt to delete a custom view (named "A") that another custom view (named "B") depends on, you will now receive an error message saying that you must delete the custom view "B" first.

Please keep the feedback coming! We know there have been several other requests we haven't been able to get to yet, but stay tuned.
