Improved Type Organisation When Selecting Them

In BA, when I need to select one or more types, e.g. when creating a relationship, the type are listed in a way that makes it unnecessarily difficult the find them. All universal types are listed in a flat, unordered list.

I would like to have universal types organised by theme that can be expanded and collapsed. I would also like to be able to search for types.

This feature request falls into the category of making BA faster and less annoying to work with.

 

Regards,

Peter

  Hi Peter, I'm unclear what you mean by this (i.e. which relationship selection dialog you mean and where in the product you opened it from).  Could you add an image?

  Matt.

  Brilliant, now I understand.  I thought you meant while creating an instance of a relationship, not in manage themes.

  Would you like the themes included when they only include one type or not?

  For the information of the Product Owner, this will be a low effort Story.

  Matt,

  I think it's more about the total number of types than the number of types in each theme. The behaviour could be when there are 20 types or less in total, then the themes are expanded by default, and when there are more than 20 types in total, then the themes are collapsed by default. I just picked 20 as an example.

  Ideally, this types selector should work the same way as the types selector in the query builder ("Starting from types ..."), and any other type selectors in BA.
