No overview of recent workflows - a critical business functionality missing #12

Open SiimSu opened 6 years ago

SiimSu commented 6 years ago

After upgrading from 1.0.3 to 1.2.6 the search functionality that opens when clicking on an item from "Workflows" tab no longer allows searching using no filter (message "Empty filter is not allowed"). This makes it very difficult to have an overview of workflows that have ran recently if there are a lot of definitions to choose from, causing considerable management overhead.

If having an empty filter is not acceptable the search should at least allow searching by a daterange or make it possbile to return limited set of latest workflow instances.

Pull requests are welcome :).

In my project, this use case is not needed. As we have a lot of workflow instances, then the "search all" doesn't make sense, but if you would add a "Created " (values: - Any time -, Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last month), and implement the search through the layers to select only workflow_instances with matching created dates, then this would probably solve your use case, right?

Yes
