A

Cambiar los filtros repetidamente hace perder tiempo durante las revisiones semanales.

Las vistas guardadas podrían hacer más rápida esa rutina.

Compartirlas requeriría reglas de permisos, así que podríamos tratarlo por separado.

Incluso una versión personal resolvería la mayor parte de mi problema.

Word by Word

Me “Me” means “to me” in “Me gustaría”, marking the person who has the desire. It is used with “Me gustaría que...” when politely expressing a desired situation, for example when requesting a software feature.
gustaría “gustaría” expresses “would like” in the polite request “Me gustaría que...”. It is the conditional form of gustar and is used here to soften the request; a reusable pattern is “Me gustaría que” followed by a clause describing the desired action.
que “que” introduces the clause describing what the speaker would like in “Me gustaría que el panel de control guardara...”. Here it links the speaker’s preference to an action carried out by the dashboard, and the same pattern is useful for polite requests about another person or system.
el “el” means “the” before the masculine singular noun “panel” in “el panel de control”. It identifies a specific dashboard already understood in the support exchange, and it is used before a specific masculine singular noun.
panel “panel” refers to the dashboard in “el panel de control”. Together with “de control” it names the software area being discussed, and this noun can be reused when identifying a particular interface section.
de “de” links “panel” with “control” in the fixed noun phrase “panel de control”, giving the type or purpose of the panel. The pattern noun + “de” + noun is useful for naming software features and other types of objects.
control “control” contributes the idea of control or management in “panel de control”, the complete term for the dashboard. It is used here as part of a technical noun phrase, so the full phrase should be retained when referring to this interface.
guardara “guardara” means “would save” in “que el panel de control guardara vistas personalizadas”, not simply “saved”. It is the imperfect subjunctive form of guardar after “Me gustaría que”, and this pattern is useful when expressing a desired action by another person or system.
vistas “vistas” means “views”, referring to saved arrangements of the dashboard. It is the feminine plural noun in “vistas personalizadas” and “vistas guardadas”, so it can be reused with adjectives describing different dashboard views.
personalizadas “personalizadas” means “customized” or “custom” in “vistas personalizadas”. It describes views adjusted to the user’s preferences and matches the feminine plural noun “vistas”; the phrase is useful when requesting user-specific configurations.
Varios “Varios” means “several” in “Varios usuarios”. It indicates more than one user without giving an exact number and is useful at the start of a statement about requests from multiple users.

más “más” means “more” in “más rápida”, forming the comparison that the routine would become faster. It is placed before the adjective here and is useful when describing an increase in speed or another quality.
rápida “rápida” means “faster” in “hacer más rápida esa rutina”. It describes the resulting quality of “esa rutina” and agrees with that feminine singular noun; this construction is useful when explaining how a feature improves a process.

Compartirlas “Compartirlas” means “sharing them” in “Compartirlas requeriría reglas de permisos”. It combines the infinitive “compartir” with “las”, which refers to the views, and the whole form functions as the activity that would require permission rules.
