I have no filters on the Records or the Views. Very confusing.

Hello Folkerth,

Thank you detailed screenshots. We can see what is going on.

Here is a short explanation on what is going on:

  • You are actually having 5 objects of type artikel record.
  • 3 of the 5 (aaaaa, ccccc, bbbbbbb) objects are present in the /root of the database. ie., they are the direct children of the “test crm” database. This can be inferred from the 2nd screenshot you posted.
  • The remaining 2 objects(Wine, bier) are present under the /Artikelen folder. This can be inferred from your 3rd screenshot.

Regarding the Workspace and Dataviews:

  • Workspace view shows only objects attached to the parents you are viewing. In your case its /root or Artikelen folder.
  • Data view shows all objects present in the system irrespective of their parents.

Hope this gives some clarity.

It gives some clairity but it stays confusing. I just add Artikel records to this simple CRM App but depending on the way I navigate I see 3, 5 or 8 Articles. As an AnyDB-admin i will understand it someday but for AnyDB-users?

Hello,

Agreed and I see your point.

I have created an internal work item to improve this either by adding more clues in the UI or change the navigation a little bit. We should be able to get to it right after the holiday season. I can keep you posted on the changes that we choose and will get your feedback on this.

Thank you for taking time in reporting these useability issues.

Regards,
Rad
