Better organization of tables

Feature suggestions

What is the feature?

Having collapse sections on the data table view to better organize tables

What problem does this solve for you?

We currently have around 35 tables that are visible on our platform, with an additional 30+ that are hidden.

It is really becoming a mess for our team to navigate information and find the relevant information to them.

Having a way to group them in sections would help us split purposed (ex. Accounts, Plans, Billing, etc.) and make the forest dashboard more usable.

Not sure if a work around exist to achieve this now?

Who else would be using this feature?

Anyone with many tables

Hello Esteban!

As ForestAdmin was designed, the solution is to create multiple teams, and allow users to switch between depending on what they are doing so that the interface is never cluttered for them.

However, clearly, the screen space could be better optimized for admin panels using many tables!
Thank you for your suggestion

But there is one major problem with having multiple teams and that is: sharing a link with someone outside of your team. That is not possible, so while you’d win on having more customization options for each team, you’d also lose big time on not being able to share info across teams in an easy way.

Is there any way around this issue? We actually had different teams setup and eventually changed to one team for all, because it was so crucial to be able to share info/links with others in the company.

Very insightful comment @Petru_Simion :+1:
We could definitively imagine that a link shared across teams would redirect to the content in the context of the current user team, if the content is allowed for the current user and team.
