View entity counter in sidebar

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way to count and display view entity numbers in the sidebar (i would expect not, but its worth a shot to ask).

We have this view to check whether any equipment bookings are in an undesirable state, and it would be nice to see how many entities are in there without opening the view.

Not a major issue, but a nice to have.

I have some screenshots below. You see we have a bunch of filters to determine whether a booking requires our attention. And having a little number in the sidebar (in front of / behind the name) would help to see if there are any entities that meet the criteria.

Another way that may address this need is by using automations to notify users if any bookings meet the criteria. For example, it could be a daily automation including your filters, and if any bookings fall within the filters, it sends a notification to the desired users.

That is something we are already working on. This is more for our admins, so they have a clear overview of all the bookings that need some attention.

We were thinking of a daily automation with these rules to send a note to the admins, but then they might as well just open the view and check it.

Only entity names are going to show in the sidebar, but you could automate adding an entity’s Public Id to its name.
