Now that you have created folders in Workflows, etc...

@zeke I’m not sure if it should be in a new topic or a reply in this topic. But I experience the following:

On top of the sorting issue (I would suggest a top 3 ‘last used items’ above a divider with all other items below the divider in alphab. order) and the column issue to ‘always’ see if an item is added to a folder (yes,please!) my primary issue is this:

Why is there an ‘all-items/folder’ toggle for switching views? Wouldn’t it be much better if you were to merge the ‘All items’ view with the ‘Folder’ view (and remove the toggle buttons)? What would that look like? I imagine a Windows Explorer/Mac Finder kind-of experience, where;

  • I imagine my folders collapsing/expanding like the + (Explorer) or ► (Finder) would, revealing all sub-items indented but in the same scrollable list. (just like it already works in the design tools, but nowhere else)
  • I imagine (double) clicking a folder would show me the contents of that folder exclusively (just like Explorer/Finder would) as opposed to the collapse/expand feature (already works this way)
  • I imagine being able to create folders inside folders (already works, but not everywhere. for instance in workflows this is not possible)
  • I imagine being able to search all items per folder, applicable when viewing one folder exclusively after clicking on it, as well as bein able to expand my search acccross all folders and items in ‘the root’ (either by starting my search in ‘the root’ or by hitting an ‘expand my search to all folders-button’ after a search inside one specific folder)
  • I imagine the filters working the same way: filtering in one specific folder (with the option to expand my applied filters to all folders) or filtering the root when looking at the entire list (regardless of collapsed/expanded folders)

with these ideas, a toggle for the folder-view seems abundant. Since a folder structure is mimicing some kind of file system, why not take some of the familiar features and replicate those in HS. This would offer a) more consistency accross workflows, emails, landing pages, etc. b) familiar features, thus more ease of use and c) an even better experience without the folder/-all items toggle. which I’m using constantly since HS doenst remember I (nearly) always use the folder. But then I miss the filters. so there we go. (that dillema resulted in the ideas above). I would love to hear your thoughts on them!

BTW: the filters (such as campagn-filter, type-filter, creator-filter) are also very inconsistent acccross the different types of items in hubspot (workflows, emails, Landing pages, etc.) fixing this would also be great!
