Default display type setting per branch

Hi @Martin,

I like your idea.

However, please note that we also have display types for table reports. And I expect that in the future we’ll also have display types for prefilters and cube views. Also see this idea:

In your opinion, should we create a default display type setting per object (so potentially 4 or even more settings), or 1 general display type setting for all of these objects?

@Jeroen van den Belt I would prefer to see a setting per object, this allows for more flexibility and seems relatively low cost. The more that can be covered to one’s liking with Default settings, the faster and more consistent the Model driven development will go.

I agree with @Arie V. For example add this default to the Model settings and even create new subjects for the default settings for reports, prefilters, cubes, etc.

With the Release 2025.1 we now support configurable action bars. In addition to assigning Tasks / Reports / Prefilters / Cube views to their respective Screen area, you can also set their Default display type on Screen component level (and optionally override this Default display type on Screen component on individual Task / Report level using the Custom display type setting).
