möchte “möchte” expresses a polite wish: the speaker would like the dashboard to save custom views. In “Ich möchte, dass ...”, it introduces what the speaker wants and is useful for polite requests or preferences.
dass “dass” introduces the content of the speaker’s wish in “dass das Dashboard benutzerdefinierte Ansichten speichert.” It connects a main statement with a clause explaining what someone wants, believes, or requests.
das In “das Dashboard”, “das” means “the” and identifies the dashboard being discussed. The form also appears as “Das wiederholte Wechseln” at the beginning of a sentence, where it introduces the activity being evaluated.

Schon “Schon” means “even” here and emphasizes that a personal version alone would already solve most of the speaker’s problem. It is useful for showing that a limited option would still be sufficient.
eine “eine” means “a” or “one” in “eine persönliche Version”, introducing one personal version as the proposed limited solution. It is useful when presenting a single option without specifying it further.
persönliche “persönliche” means “personal” in “eine persönliche Version”, describing a version intended for an individual rather than team sharing. It identifies the smaller first option the speaker would accept.

mein “mein” means “my” in “mein Problem”, identifying the speaker’s own difficulty with the current workflow. It is a possessive form used to connect the problem directly to the speaker.
Problem “Problem” means “problem” here, referring to the time and workflow difficulty caused by repeatedly changing filters. It is the issue that a personal version would largely solve.

lösen “lösen” means “to solve” in “mein Problem größtenteils lösen”. It describes the result expected from a personal version and is useful for stating what a proposed feature would fix.
Dann “Dann” means “then” and marks the next consequence or planning step: the first step could focus on private saved views. It is useful for moving from a proposal to an agreed response or next action.
