Configuring complex tables in a client experience framework

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
• provide a client experience framework to an administrator that allows the administrator to design an object page to display in a client application, wherein the object page comprises an object in the client application and a full dataset related to the object comprising rows and columns, wherein the client experience framework allows the administrator to select a complex table behavior associated with the full dataset, and wherein the complex table behavior can be a preview setting;
• display the object page to a user of the client application by:
• retrieving a subset of the full dataset and a display configuration for the full dataset associated with the object page and
• when the display configuration indicates the preview setting:
• displaying a preview version of a table comprising table headers, the subset of the full dataset, a filter;
• a record count, and a link, wherein the record count is equal to a number of records in the full dataset, and wherein the link displays the record count, wherein the preview version is configured to allow a user to filter and search through the full dataset while the preview version only displays the subset of the full dataset, wherein filtering comprises limiting the full dataset based on a set of filters selected by the user and wherein searching comprises culling the full dataset based on a set of parameters selected by the user;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, a plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset;
• executing each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset;
• displaying an updated preview version to reflect changes in the updated full dataset, wherein an updated preview version is automatically generated after each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset has been executed after the preview setting has been selected;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, an activation of the link from the user;
• routing, by the one or more processors, the user to a list report page;
• and
• displaying the list report page comprising at least the updated full dataset undergirding the updated preview version, wherein the updated full dataset reflects any changes in the full dataset for each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset has been executed after the preview setting has been selected.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• providing a client experience framework to an administrator that allows the administrator to design an object page to display in a client application, wherein the object page comprises an object in the client application and a full dataset related to the object comprising rows and columns, wherein the client experience framework allows the administrator to select a complex table behavior associated with the full dataset, and wherein the complex table behavior can be a preview setting;
• displaying the object page to a user of a client application by:
• retrieving a subset of the full dataset and a display configuration for the full dataset associated with the object page and
• when the display configuration indicates the preview setting:
• displaying a preview version of a table comprising table headers, the subset of the full dataset, a filter;
• a record count, and a link, wherein the record count is equal to a number of records in the full dataset, and wherein the link displays the record count, wherein the preview version is configured to allow a user to filter and search through the full dataset while the preview version only displays the subset of the full dataset, wherein filtering comprises limiting the full dataset based on a set of filters selected by the user and wherein searching comprises culling the full dataset based on a set of parameters selected by the user;
• receiving a plurality of requests to filter and search, through the full dataset;
• executing each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset;
• displaying an updated preview version to reflect changes in the updated full dataset, wherein an updated preview version is automatically generated after each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset has been executed after the preview setting has been selected;
• receiving an activation of the link from the user;
• routing the user to a list report page;
• and
• displaying the list report page comprising at least the updated full dataset undergirding the updated preview version, wherein the updated full dataset reflects any changes in the full dataset for each of the plurality of requests to filter and search through the full dataset has been executed after the preview setting has been selected.
