Right now, turning on show record count on a collection page displays all records that will be displayed. It would be very useful to have the record count display a number based on a filter, rather than having to filter the entire collection page.
For example, our “Approvals” page is set to display the user’s assigned approvals, great. BUT we only want the number in the sidebar to show “Open” approvals. So we have to filter the whole page down to only display open approvals, and have a seperate page for completed approvals.
Ideally, we’d be able to show all the assigned approvals, and filter the number in the sidebar to “Open” approvals only. That way the user can see at a glance that they have something open to address, but could still see completed items in that collection when they open the page.
Stretch goal: let us select a field to summarize. For example Count of Requests where Status = Open, or SUM of Revenue where project_status = Confirmed.
I imagine this would first only be implemented in collection pages, but having BLANK page types also be able to display some sort of number in the sidebar would be really cool. We’d definitely use it to help guide users to the pages where they have some action that needs to be taken.
