Entity Centre: hide/show unused selection criteria option
Description
There are Entity Centres that may include a large number of selection criteria, exposing both entity properties and sub-properties to provide rich data search capabilities. However, often many selection criteria remain underutilised and effectively "clutter" the selection criteria view, making it difficult to see at a glance what selection criteria are actually in use.
-
[ ] 1. In order to improve this, it is proposed to develop support for hiding/showing unused selection criteria, where hiding would eliminate the whole rows with controls where no selection criteria have any values or mnemonics applied that affect the search result. And so, if a row contains at least one selection criterion with non-default values or mnemonics, such row should remain visible. This way, large selection criteria views with few selection criteria used would "collapse" into a view with just a handful of rows.
-
[ ] 2. Selection criteria layout support sections, which can be collapsed by default. Sections with visible rows should be expanded by default. Section headers where section have no visible rows should be hidden.
-
[ ] 3. An option for hiding unused selection criteria should be persisted as part of Entity Centre configuration, the same was as "Run automatically?".
Expected outcome
Ability for user to easily see what selection criteria are in use, which would be especially convenient for Entity Centre with a large number of unused selection criteria.
