Did you know you could do this with Report widgets?

Here's something I stumbled on while building in my space and I thought it was worth sharing.

Switching between Views in InfoLobby means clicking the View icon at the top of your Grid and picking from the drop-down list. It works fine, but if you're jumping between Views a lot, it starts to feel like a few too many clicks.

The trick:
If you add Report widgets and set them up as a Count aggregation with different filters, each widget will show you a live count of Records matching that filter. But the handy part is that clicking that widget opens the grid view with the Records that make up the count. One click and you're looking at exactly the Records you want, no dropdown fiddling required.

Report widgets for 4 different status categories

It's not exactly what Report widgets were built for, but it works really well as a quick navigation shortcut, especially if you're jumping between a lot of categories and statuses.

Give it a try and let me know if you find other creative uses for it. What workarounds have you built that ended up becoming part of your regular workflow? 👇
