When saving different versions of tables/charts, what are some good rules of thumb on how many to save and how to name them? I am trying to avoid saving too many so it doesn’t become overwhelming when I select the view for the boards. Wondering what the best practice is with the naming conventions and what works for different users.

Hi
When naming views I tend to include a brief desciption of the dimensions in use or I make reference to the target audience / board.
For example,
Method 1
1. Revenue Table by Customer, Month and Version
2. ARR Waterfall Graph by Segment, Company Type and Year
Method 2
1. Exec Summary: P&L Table
2. Budget Owner: P&L Table
3. P&L Table Detailed View
4. Exec Summary: BvA Bar Chart
Regarding duplication of views, try to maintain good habits of deleting views not in use. Where a view can be used in multiple places, use it in multiple places (instead of creating a second view)
