Bases: Pagination System

Use case or problem

I have some Bases that are only really useful in the context of another page. These Bases also happen to be incredibly long and require a lot of scrolling to reach the rest of the page once embedded, or to simply reach the bottom of the Base.

Proposed solution

Add an optional pagination system to each View in the Base. It would slot very nicely into the “Configure view” submenu. We could enter a number of items per page, or maybe choose from a predetermined dropdown of possible page lengths.

As with most paginated tables, we should of course be able to jump to the very last page or jump back to the very first page.

Use case or problem

When dealing with a large number of results, it can be overwhelming to have all results be displayed at once, especially within a note. Limiting the results helps, but it also means losing easy access to the remaining entries.

Proposed solution

Enable pagination for bases. For example, if the limit is set to 10 and there are 19 results, the first page would display the initial 10. Selecting “Next Page” would then display the remaining 9.

Bump. But pagination wouldn’t need to be explicitly enabled - if there was an option to say how many results per page you’d like to see, just include the option “all”.

Adding settings to Bases with pagination ON and number of results would be trivial.

I currently use DB folder plugin and this would really help to use bases instead.

As the proposed solution I´d add a checkbox to the ‘Limit number of results’ settings.

I’m surprised this request didn’t receive more love since may.
