Creating Dashboards with Linked Views

Ideas & Features
1

Before Fibery, I used Grist, which is a powerful spreadsheet app with unique features. One of my favorite features was creating dashboards with linked views. Here’s an example:

Let’s say you have 3 databases:

  1. Companies
  2. Projects
  3. Tasks

You created views for each database, but it would be more helpful if you could see all 3 on the same screen, so you create a dashboard. However, each view in the dashboard operates independently. It would be better if they were linked so that when you clicked a company, its projects were shown, and when you clicked a project, its tasks were shown.

In this example, the tasks view is linked to the projects view, and the projects view is linked to the companies view. This makes viewing data A LOT easier and faster.

Here are a couple of videos from Grist showing the feature:

I would love it if Fibery had a similar feature. I feel like all the pieces are in place to make it happen. Please consider this! Thank you.

I think you’d be interested in the "One-by-one" or "Layout" View - #10 by helloitse feature request as well. Which is only a fraction of this feature request.

On the backend, this feels a lot like Coda’s ability to set global variables and have views & calculations filter to match those controls. In practice, I often create reporting dashboards and use a select field to change the year. All views will recalculate once the variable changes.

In the present, you can use a smart folder to easily toggle through one entity type with identical layouts - this is how I see annual reports now.
When we get the ability to create dashboard views in entities, that will also get you closer to the desired experience.
