I think it would be great if we could setup tabs on collection pages to apply pre-defined filters on the collection.
Currently if I want to do something like this I need to setup a blank page, add all the tabs I want, then add the collection onto each tab and then modify the collection’s filters on each tab, and if I want to give users the ability to create new records I also need to create a collection page, turn off the breadcrumbs and hide it from the menu… It’s quite a long-winded process that I think could be streamlined pretty easily.
If on the collection pages you allowed us to create tabs and instead of these being different pages like tabs on a blank page they just simply allow us to set filters which gets applied to the collection it would massively save time building out these pages.
This is something that has been available in AT for quite some time and is used quite often so having the same functionality here would be great.
Most definitely would be helpful. I’ve assumed there’s a reason this isn’t currently done that I don’t understand. It creates a lot of unnecessary pages because I have to have the basic collection pages for noloco to work but I use blank pages with tabs exclusively.
I think that would be a good starting point and would resolve a lot of other issues too.
I still think filter tabs would be a good feature to have as it saves having to rebuild and keep in sync the collection views on each tab.
One of my collections for example has 10 tabs and if I need to make a change to the fields on display then I would need to do that on every tab instead of just once.
This is a great point, however, a counter point (with feedback we’ve directly received) is that people would like to customize the fields and layout on the different tabs…
As always, we’re trying to see if we can understand the root concern
I wonder if they should perhaps be 2 separate features, like instead of the filter tabs being page-level tabs they would be just above the collection where you would usually find the filter fields/search box and clicking the tabs here would just change some pre-defined filters on that collection.
Thinking about it this could actually be really useful even for related collections on a page. E.g. being able to quickly tab between active and completed tasks on a specific project.
