    Hi,

    Build configurations become very difficult to manage when the number of configurations grows. We have 30 something configurations including disabled builds, and it's quite frustrating finding relevant configurations as it requires scrolling a very long vertical page with a low density of useful information. I have one main suggestion:
    • Use a table view on the build configs page instead of the tiled view. The current tiled view, showing 2-4 configs per page with no useful information until expanded, isn't very efficient (especially when "disabled" jobs clutter the top). A table could be sorted & filtered, could show some detail about configurations inline, and overall would be much easier to deal with. It would also allow quick "at a glance" comparison of different build jobs (for the top level info like branch, Unity version and the like).
    And a few minor ones:
    • Allow configurations to serve multiple platform targets... we have nearly every build config duplicated (and identical except for platform) for Windows and Mac. This would also make kicking off build jobs a little simpler.
    • Show disabled build configurations below active ones (I expect that would be an easy change and would help greatly even with the current layout)
    If implemented these changes would make using Cloud Build a much more pleasant and efficient experience for us!
