To help with Navigating Fibery more fluidly, I’d love to see the ability to click an entity’s type (or database) to navigate to its respective app default page. Even better would be the ability to select views as a dropdown from the entity badge, as you can from the app’s default database page.

You can `ALT`-click it to bring up the type’s field definitions.

Yes, but it does not bring you to the app or other views. It simply allows you to edit the type and fields.

I’m requesting that when clicking this – it navigates to the database’s app default page or show current views for the database.

I agree that this would be a good step towards improving navigation in persistent context, which remains a primary challenge in Fibery, particularly for new users.

However, in my view this is merely one symptom of a deeper issue: the loss of persistent context. Addressing this symptom alone won’t resolve the root cause, which requires a more structural improvement in navigation. Currently, Fibery’s navigation relies heavily on a breadcrumb-like, click-through system that only retains the last few locations visited by the user.

> Hi guys, As I work through Fibery I often find myself eager to click and see at a glance: What is the App where a Type (and also an Entity) is located, and; All of the Entities I have in a certain Type. I intend to use Fibery as much as I can for all I manage, so my Fibery will be built out with 10’s of Entities, and probably 20 - 30 Apps. So I am finding ease of navigating around these a big feature I’d like to see continually improved. At times I can’t 100% remember which Entity is…

I would already be happy if as admin I can click the entity name to navigate to the database. This has bothered me a number of times, I can’t believe ai hadn’t raised this before. 🙂

Agreed. Honestly, just being able to get to the database would be amazing.

+1 for having the database badge return you to the Space/setup page for the database.

The reason I find myself coming back to that setup page is I know I can find a list of the views that have been setup for that database.

Often when I’m first creating a view I’m not 100% sure what the view should be so I end up creating a 2-3 views before I land on something that works.

If we’re not doing this, could we add an icon somewhere on the entity top (right before or after the database name) that represents the “Space” and if clicked, brings you back to the Space?

I think Fibery team is missing a huge opportunity here to make navigation more fluid by simply adding a button.

I’d like to point out that this is already available in Forms as “Breadcrumbs”.

When clicking the Space link, it brings you back to the space.

The next logical step would be to add this for Entities.

We will implement it as a part of Space Setup Redesign. ETA is ~1 month.
