New Data Explorer Saved Views Drawer
Going back and forth between Data Explorer and our Library to cycle through Saved Views when doing your rounds has always been somewhat of a tax on user productivity.
We recently decided to tackle this workflow and streamline it: we have tested out this new feature with a few of our customers before launch and are now proud to present the Saved Views Drawer feature in Data Explorer.
An expert eye may already have noticed that a new button has sneaked into the Data Explorer actions bar:
Clicking on it will unveil a new drawer in Data Explorer, allowing our users to directly browse, search and find a Saved View to load in Data Explorer, without having to go back to the Library module.
You can now entirely navigate the list of Saved Views with both mouse or keyboard, it is ordered in 3 sections (horizontal arrow keys):
- Favorites: any Saved View you have favorited either from the Library or on the View itself with the star icon next to its title
- Recent: we're also making Recent Views persistent, so you can see the TopN last displayed Saved Views
- Browser: any view in your Library that you have access to: this will be the default tab if you don't have any Favorite or Recent
Remember, the entire functionality is entirely keyboard friendly, as reminded at the bottom of this new drawer
Additionally, it comes with a new shortcut so the Saved View drawer can be summoned instantly for the keyboard addicts - remember[shift]+[v]
as well as [Esc]
discards the panel.
Lastly, plenty of filtering options allow you to find the right Saved View you are looking for in a sea of user generated views:
...these filters can be cleared at any moment via the UI displayed below
