Yes, that is something on those lines Dmitri. I like the “all widgets on a page” layout… sometimes. Sometimes you want a table occupying the whole page. (many columns and many records). Sometimes you want a form occupying the page (again, many fields). In those cases, a modal would be better (or collapsing/expanding widgets… or maybe even TABS.
With tabs, I can imagine a table and a form for new risk analyses on a single tab. While the Risk Directory tab and the risk single record widget are on the main tab.
Another “option” would be to create links between pages.
Example: have a page with a table with all the risks.
Another page with a form widget. And another page with the Risk Analysis Table and Form.
Then setting that when clicking on any risk of the Risk Tables page, it takes me to the page with the Risks Form (already showing that Risk record).
And when clicking the Risk Analisys field of the Risks Form, it takes me to the Risk Analysis Table and Form, showing only the Analysis linked to that risk.)
Speaking of multiple pages, I made a question yesterday about hiding pages from users, without blocking them from viewing or selecting data from that page.
Not sure if it’s possible now.
I suppose you would have to dissociate tables from pages somehow.
Example: I have a config page where I do have all the risks probabilities and risk impacts that a user can select.
I don´t want users to even see that page, so their menu is smaller. But I need them to select itens from that page when creating Risks and Risk Analysis.
Let’s say it would be analogous to HIDING sheets at Excel. If I have a cell with a list to select itens from a table on that hidden sheet, I can still do it.
