It would be useful to have an FCF Payout feature. This a more realistic way to measure dividend safety than traditional earnings payout.

FCF Payout = Dividend per share/Free Cash Flow per share.

The payout ratio is not a standardized metric. Most commonly it the payout ratio is Payout Ratio = Common & Preferred Stock Dividends Paid / Net Income. 
We don't have the FCF version as a native column, but you can create this yourself in a watchlist using a custom formula. 
Common Dividends + Preferred Dividends / Free Cash Flow

Thanks Conor MacNeil. Unfortunately i'm constrained in the number of custom formulas I can setup. Also cannot generate/graph a time series for a custom formula.

Allied Swift: I'll migrate this to feature requests for now in that case.

yeah, this would really be a nice addition, any time frame for when you guys might be able to add this? seems pretty easy.
