Datacron management improvements (UI/QOL)

This topic doesn't appear to have migrated from the old Forum so adding here. Datacrons have matured enough to require optimized management processes similar to where mods are at now. Additionally, DC management tools should be consistent across all game modes including the inventory view.  All of what I mention here was previously requested in the old forum by other players. 

In all cases, DC management is better during specific combat modes than in the actual DC inventory management view. While this was manageable early on, as players are embracing and becoming more sophisticated in our use of DCs, the DC inventory management UI needs to improve. This would further incentivize the use of DCs an at least facilitate wider adoption of DCs by the player base. 

  1. Navigation tool while in a DC such as left/right to move from one DC to another DC. Currently, you have to back out of a DC and then select the next DC in order to progress to the next sequentially ordered DC. Initially, this would be the single most important improvement to speed up working with DCs, more so if you have a large number of DCs as I do. 
  2. Filters in inventory view. This exists within GAC/TW/Arena but would arguably be useful in the page where players actually manage their DCs. As an example, I can filter and order my DCs by armor penetration in any of the three combat modes above but can't do the same in the DC inventory and management page. The more DCs, the more this feature would speed up/improve player QOL. At high numbers of DCs, this feature could surpass #1 in preferability. Attached screenshots pertain to this feature. 
  3. Assign a DC to a squad. This is especially helpful in situations where we might use a DC for a squad that is counterintuitive or doesn't align with character/faction. 
  4. Name DCs. This could be helpful especially, as in #3, where a DC is particularly strong with a specific trait but doesn't otherwise align with character/faction. Being able to name that DC, especially if we can't assign a DC to a squad, would be helpful.
