Disable "Apply sorting for all users" dialog

[slvkrvnsv]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm the only user and while working with the db I do a lot of sorting, filtering, column width changes.
This thing is distracting me all the time :( Because for each click there is always one more click.

Describe the solution you'd like
Don't ask "Apply sorting for all users" and all similar messages when there's only one user on the plan.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Dunno, Google Sheets doesn't ask me this even if 15 people at the same page ;D

@slvkrvnsv that's a good point. Agree that it can be distracting if you are doing a lot of sorting. Will add the ability to disable it.

Hey @harinij, mind if I take a stab at this?

• One approach is obviously to add some sort of option to, say, the table settings (could be project-wide too perhaps) to disable the prompt when column-widths/sorting etc. are updated. If we were to incorporate this option (say, as a checkbox) into the table settings modal (maybe we could add a fifth Customization section underneath Access Controls) or into the project settings page (under the existing Customization section), we wouldn't need additional designs.

• Another (maybe kinda smarter but less flexible) option is to determine if the prompts should be disabled based on the number of members added to the project. If there's no other members, the prompts shouldn't show up (basically the same as what @slvkrvnsv has described in the "Solution you'd like" section). This would be less flexible because it's possible that even with multiple members a team would like to see no prompts. Again, we wouldn't need any separate designs.

Of course, the first approach will need a lot more thought if this option is supposed to be a per-user thing (although I'm not sure how useful that would be). Thoughts?

Additionally, if we choose to go with the first approach, alongside/under the 'disable-prompts' checkbox we could have a pair of radio buttons. The radio options will be inactive if prompts are enabled, but will be active when prompts are disabled.

The two options can be:

• Update changes in properties for all users.
• Do not update properties for all users.

Essentially, the type of default behaviour the user wishes to see when prompts are disabled.

Hi @nithinrdy - great I have assigned it to you. I like the first approach you mentioned however instead of it being a table setting, or project wide, it can be per user setting. We have user settings here: src/components/Settings/UserSettings/Theme.tsx
Under the account panel, here we can under preferences, add another section called "Table Settings" - which can have the following checkboxes;

• "Disable popup - to save sorting changes to the team"
• "Disable popup - to save column width changes to the team"

Plus another two checkbox for:

• "Automatically apply sorting changes to all users"
• "Automatically apply column width changes to all users"

This way we can keep the default behaviour as is, but if someone wants to disable it or auto-apply, then they can do so on their account preferences.

Got it, I'll pick this up (thanks for the pointers).

@nithinrdy is this completed, and is it synced to Rowy app?

[nithinrdy]

Yes, here's the corresponding commit on rowyapp.

Edit: Just noticed this was included in the last release, yet I don't see it on rowy.app...
