Hi Igor, Most of my cases are for internal tools and grouping together unrelated tables as you just summarised. Some examples are,
- Writing text that can need to send out to clients by triggering a predefined email templates - Creating internal forms that should be saved to multiple tables or throw an error - Custom templates for showing unrelated & unrelated data While these can be done normally with templates, the key difference is these are internal pages and do not need to be super stylised. Performance is far more important than the UI. A minimal stylisation would be good enough is most cases. Being able to leverage admin widgets would improve task turnaround time and reduce frontend work to only client-facing logic.
