preferred (most used) items in a mixed widget (combo-popup search)

Key: OFBIZ-3937
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3937
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: ALL COMPONENTS
Environment: noarch
Reporter: Corrado Campisano
Priority: Minor
Hi,
was looking at the video "Framework Intro 4 Example App Overview"
(http://vimeo.com/9606918).
At minutes from 5:33 to 6:00, the presenter talks about the difference between
combos and popup search for to provide FK (it's just foreign keys, right?) to
entities being edited.
I understand this point: I work for a global company and for some product
orders management, I wait minutes with combos being populated with thousands of
items...
So I like OfBiz approach, but I'd like to go further...
What about a mixed widget, displaying both a combo (populated with current
users' most used items) and the button for the popup search?
I understand this would imply some hard changes, and some overhead for looking
for the 'most used', but would really help: having always to use the popoup
search could be boring when you both have large items number but working
usually with a smaller subset of them (think about any regionally organized,
localized customer sales/management/support staff and tools).
The linking table could be like this:
mostUsedID - ID, autoinc
userFK - current user id
entityFK - entity db table to look for items
itemFK - items ID in the entity db table
count - number of time used
Is that feasible?
Best regards,
Corrado
