Can’t create ad hoc views for databases that aren’t related to the existing entity description. BUT I can do this in a Document. It doesn’t restrict what databases I can show in nested view. (I guess because under the hood its connected to everything?)
Not sure if this is by design, but it’s a bit restrictive and something to pay attention to when migrating docs to entities.
Usebase: quarterly reports. Creating a view of things from all over the place to talk about them. (Funnily enough, in embedded Reports you can choose entities not related, so maybe just doing that work, but I’ve always had the feeling they feel less integrated into the Fibery ecosystem. I can’t click into the entity in the table report to open it…)
So the request is either for better (integrated) reporting UI/UX, or to allow linking to anything in embedded (and multi relation) views.
