preferred (most used) items in a mixed widget (combo-popup search)
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFBIZ-3937
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3937
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ALL COMPONENTS
         Environment: noarch
            Reporter: Corrado Campisano
            Priority: Minor


Hi,

was looking at the video "Framework Intro 4 Example App Overview" (http://vimeo.com/9606918).

At minutes from 5:33 to 6:00, the presenter talks about the difference between combos and popup search for to provide FK (it's just foreign keys, right?) to entities being edited.


I understand this point: I work for a global company and for some product orders management, I wait minutes with combos being populated with thousands of items...

So I like OfBiz approach, but I'd like to go further...


What about a mixed widget, displaying both a combo (populated with current users' most used items) and the button for the popup search?


I understand this would imply some hard changes, and some overhead for looking for the 'most used', but would really help: having always to use the popoup search could be boring when you both have large items number but working usually with a smaller subset of them (think about any regionally organized, localized customer sales/management/support staff and tools).

The linking table could be like this:
mostUsedID - ID, autoinc
userFK - current user id
entityFK - entity db table to look for items
itemFK - items ID in the entity db table
count - number of time used

Is that feasible?

Best regards,
Corrado

What do you think about the autocomplete feature of the lookups? Did you try it.? I think it's the best answer. We have currently a small issue though but not OOTB as OOTB we only use Id lookups see OFBIZ-3932 and https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/FormWidgetExamples#ExampleLookupFields (admin/ofbiz)

      Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
    Resolution: Not A Problem

I just tried on a LookupGeo (with 1000+ entries) we have any performance issues with autocomplete (we retrieve by block of 10 by default). So I close...
