I would like to filter the summary view so it only shows me the most recent entry for every value in the serial number attribute. This would be very useful for quickly viewing the present status and location of every assembly, for example.


I don't know if that is what you want, but have you tried clicking on the column headings in the summary view to sort the table according to that attribute:



Rather than simply sorting, I would like to actually reduce the number of entries listed to show only the most recent entry for each serial number. In this way, I can see at a glance what the present status of each serial number is. This is similar to Quick Filters but would be a "Most Recent" filter that could be applied conditionally, for example: "Most Recent" -> "By Serial".

Here is the display now:


Here is what I'd like to have the option to view (I used a graphic editor to fake it):


It would also be nice to have the option to then sort the resultant view, for example, to group together all serial numbers that have the same status.

Is this a little clearer? It's just a suggestion - this is not terribly important, but if it were possible I think it would be useful.

Thanks!
