Here is a big issue I have with Fibery, since the start:
Easy contextual navigation through the same entity view, not using left sidebar.
This relates to the issue theme of ‘contextual navigation’ challenges that I observe Fibery users have (Its hard to navigate in Fibery in a simple way).
Why:
Sidebar is extreme UX tension, we dont use it. Pinned fields are not easily clickable and cannot be organized well. Entity views dont have URLs. Links field opens in new window, cannot set link title. Contextually filtered list views have only one filter path therefore cannot reuse same field for different parent contexts.
How to solve:
There are different approaches possible.
- Making Entity Views real entities or to allow any database to have Entity View behavior.
- Or make all Views real entities.(No embedding of views, horrible ux and bad maintenance).
- Or allow rule-based default field collection views (in the same field).
- Or Viewer Context (Entity View keeps track of which users are viewing. I have this as chrome plugin, should be out of the box, massive benefits)
Use Case:
If that is implemented, we can create a database ‘Display’ to create a list view to easy navigate to Display entity views or other related entities. E.g. in a Project we can show a list view of Displays to the Project Tasks, Project Meetings, Project Parent Proram, Project Team, etc.
Wanted:
(Note that Tasks has many parent databases, e.g. Project, Meeting, Team, User, etc)
In this example the List View in the left panel are of database ‘MenuItem’ (helper database).
The goal is to have reusable MenuItems throughout all Projects, with different parent dbs.
