Before Fibery, I used [Grist](https://www.getgrist.com/), 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: - [https://youtu.be/F5m\_je0QKvs?si=F6DNr3n\_1nuv7am1](https://youtu.be/F5m_je0QKvs?si=F6DNr3n_1nuv7am1) - [https://youtu.be/ZYJgPkcMhJU?si=ujU45F4sjtG3BZSQ](https://youtu.be/ZYJgPkcMhJU?si=ujU45F4sjtG3BZSQ) 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](https://community.fibery.io/t/one-by-one-or-layout-view/723/10) 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. ---

Thanks for showing me the one-by-one feature request. That would get me one step closer. Good to know other users are interested in similar features. Yes, I am currently using smart folders as you mentioned. I have a tab view with a table for each entity, but the missing piece is the filtering. Ideally, I would click a company in the smart folder, then be presented with my entity tables (projects, assets, tasks, subtasks) related to that company, all on one screen. When I click a project, it filters the assets entity table to only show assets related to that project. Then, if I click on an asset, the tasks table would filter to only tasks related to that asset. Click a task, and the subtask table is filtered to show only subtasks related to that task. Having all this on one screen makes it really fast and easy to navigate. I find this filtering also helps prevent information overload, which tends to happen with a view full of sublevels (company → project → asset → task → subtask). Hopefully, others will find this helpful as well and upvote! ---

> [@John\_Grattan](#): > > entity tables (projects, assets, tasks, subtasks) I’m confused how this is different from relation views. [Fibery](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Relation-Views-309) Is it the ability to put them next to each other like a dashboard instead of under each other? I made a request for something similar here: [What if entity view was treated as a dashboard?](https://community.fibery.io/t/what-if-entity-view-was-treated-as-a-dashboard/8322) Curious if it’s similar, or if I’m misunderstanding. ---

Exactly, it’s all about the ability to put them next to each other like a dashboard instead of under. BUT, the most important feature is the filtering that takes place. I recorded a video showing it in action: [Fibery Feature Request Overview - TechSmith Screencast](https://app.screencast.com/782HuZhmNq20m)
