We get this message, and a bunch of items are not shown in our view, but we cannot really figure out why.
Is there any clear information why this message pops up, and what is not being shown?
In order to make the view performant, we limit the number of records that get shown. As the message says, you can click to Show all (which might take some time depending on how many there are).
In general, if you have a view that is showing over many records, it possibly means that you should consider adding some filters to limit what is included, so you won’t get that message.
Ah, ok, it reads as if there is something wrong with the settings of our data, and that thats why not everything could be shown.
It might be good to change the wording, or the info under the (?) to make it clear for people who encounter this issue, something like:
“100 out of 105 Equipments shown for performance, press “Show All” to view all available data”
Also, what would imo be a must, is that you can still filter on all data. Even if you dont show it.
Even if we cant see all the entries, I’d want to be able to search all of them, otherwise search basically becomes useless for this view.
You mean searching within the view, right?
BTW, what type of view was it?
Hi, any info on the full search?
I have several complains from our users that they don’t see all instances in some views (mostly the one I reported earlier), with the search being mentioned in all of them.
We understand the importance of optimization, but not allowing the filter by search to index all items feels like a bug rather than intended design.
View search != full search
At the moment, the search within a view only searches amongst the visible entities, so if (due to limits) not all entities are displayed, then search will not look into them.
Have you considered using context views to limit the number of entities that are shown?
Hi,
We are using the Context Views a lot, and absolutely love the feature (in other scenarios).
Unfortunately its not really usable in this case, from a ux perspective its way nicer to show all items in one place, rather than spreading them out over separate locations.
Its our equipment overview, where we use filters to only show equipment that is currently available.
If I want to book 2 laptops and a pair of headphones then i want to search for those specific items. I would not want to go to the Laptop Context View, search for what i need, then go to the Audio Context View and search for what I need over there.
I understand that its not possible right now, but we wanted to reiterate that the expected behavior for the Filter Lanes searchbox is to search all data, instead of the currently shown data.
Just to continue about this expected behaviour:
It is possible to show additional fields on the lanes, however Filter Lanes only filters on the entity name.
Personally I would expect behaviour where:
- I can search based on all the data shown in the lanes, not just the name
- I can search for all data in that database within the filters I setup
- be able to search for several keywords using some separator, for example: Audio;MSI;50021 would give me all lanes/entities with: Audio / MSI / 50021 in the name, Group, or any other fields that I choose to show
Again, I understand this is not current design, I just want to highlight the ideal scenario hoping that some might end up on the dev backlog

Sorry. I think we had crossed wires.
I thought you were talking about searching within the view:
