Planning Analytics

Maybe I am too OCD but there are two UI items that just seem wrong to me and wanted to check if it others others before logging on the Ideas site:

1) Shared folders in the "new experience" has an icon of a folder with a person.  Icons with a single person have always indicated Private in Perspectives, and a single person just does not indicate sharing in any way. IMO, it should have multiple, like the Users icon, within the folder.

2) Accessing Attributes in the Set Editor has an icon with three vertical lines which is different to the Tag icon in the Dimension Editor.  When you click the three vertical lines, the attribute box shows the attribute with the Tag icon - just inconsistent and confusing.

May seem like a trivial issue but would be keen to hear someone else's views on these.

Included a document with some visuals for reference.

Edit:  And why are the No/Cancel and Yes/Confirm buttons switch from the conventions uses everywhere else?

And I cannot fix the spelling error in the subject.

Hi,

I totally agree with he 1st. IMO it should look like in Cognos Analytics folders: 1 guy in the private folder and 2 guys in the shared folder:
