Overview component #5553

Since the overview is simply presenting the statistics, perhaps it would be better to continuously display total stats. Because if a user has filtered for a specific stage, then remaining stages showing 0, doesn't add much value.

Team's Response

Hi there! Thanks for bringing this up.

Initially, we thought about displaying the total statistics all the time. However, we realized this doesn't add much value when using the 'find' or 'search' feature. So, we decided to update the stats overview each time a feature is used, whether it's pressing a button on the filter panel or using the 'filter' command.

We know this can be a bit 'useless' when you're just filtering for specific stages (since you already know the other stages that are not filtered/selected will have a count of 0). Despite that, we believe the overall benefit of constantly updating the overview to reflect what's currently shown in the person list panel is better than just showing the total statistics count, particularly in the case of the 'find' and 'search' feature.
