Re: Display only new or changed records

My recollection is that those display options are per user, since the user's last session. 

What's your purpose? We can try to figure out a way to match that specifically.

    Thanks Sam,

    I was interested in having few records in a dropdown instead of the the entire list from a table so the "Create new" button is available without scrolling down.
    So If I use this option and the user creates many of those records during the same session, a scroll down will be required eventually, which is what i want to avoid. Before I have asked if a report can be made to limit records to the first 5 or so and I think there was no way to do that yet.

      Personally, I'd just make a "Create New" button and put it next to the drop down, rather than trying to keep the list short.

      If you want the list to always be the 5 most recently created, you could create a universal parent record, relate all the newly created records to that so you can get the maximum record id, then create a report formula to limit to only the 5 greatest Record IDs.

      If you need more help actually implementing that, swing by Data Collaborative's free Office Hours, every Thursday at 1pm Eastern.
