Clear repeating group when filtering data

data1 · 2024-11-08T05:15:12.279Z

I have a table as a repeating group on which I do a search with complex filters. These filters are setup with events triggered in a chain.

The search can take some time, because it is looking at 3rd degree relationships with the things listed on the table.

Problem: the current data of the RG does not clear even when I use a clear data from repeating group action as the first action of my filter workflows. It results in giving the impression the app is frozen or could mislead the user into thinking the search is completed.

Expected Behaviour: I want the data to go away from my repeating group, show a text “searching…” then return the data and display it.

How can I achieve this UX?

Hey @data1 , how are you?

Is this what you are sort of wanting to do?

Thanks. Not quite.

Let me show you the problem with this screen cast:

After filtering, it takes several seconds to load the data resulting from the search.

I need the table to: 1. clear content first > 2. show some “searching…” text > 3. return the results.

PS: how did you embed the video on the post?

Ahhh yeah, I see what you mean. When it returns a result, how are you displaying that data?

Is it in the repeating group or in just a normal group?

Loom is the recording program I use and it just automatically does the embed

The returned data is displayed in the repeating group.
