Problem
In Dynamic View, when users click a row item, the Details Panel does not automatically open in its fully expanded state. Users must perform an additional click to expand the panel before viewing or updating all available fields. For workflows that require frequent review and editing of records, this extra step creates unnecessary friction and increases the number of clicks required for every transaction.
Suggested Enhancement
Provide an option to automatically open the Details Panel in its fully expanded state whenever a user selects a row item. Possible implementation:
- Workspace/Admin setting:
- Open Details Panel Automatically = Yes/No
- View-level setting:
- Allow Dynamic View creators to define the default behavior.
Benefits
- Reduces repetitive clicks for end users.
- Improves efficiency when processing large volumes of records.
- Creates a more intuitive user experience for reviewers, approvers, and data-entry users.
- Improves accessibility for users who primarily work within the Details Panel.
Example Use Case
In capital project and engineering workflows, users often open dozens of records daily to review status updates, dates, comments, and supporting information. Automatically expanding the Details Panel would eliminate an extra step for every record and significantly improve productivity.
