App items can be displayed as tiles, a table or a Kanban board. The last option is available if the statuses of the app are set up. You can choose the view when creating the app or change it later in the top right corner of the app page.
You can define how the table, tiles, or Kanban board will appear. For example, you can choose which item fields to display, sort rows and tiles by parameters, adjust tile sizes, etc. The settings are divided into two types:
global settings that are managed by the Administrator. They are applied for all the users and are exported with the app;
personal settings that each user configures for themselves. To reset them to global settings, click Default.
The administrator can switch between global and personal options in the table, tile or Kanban settings window.

Reducing load when displaying linked app items
A field of the App (many) type can include links to items from another app. This field can be added to the list of displayed properties in the settings for tables, tiles, or kanban boards. When an app page is opened, users will see, for each item, a list of links to related items from another app, as specified in its page.
If there are many related items, only the first 10 links are displayed. However, by default, data for all links from each displayed item is loaded. This data retrieval process can cause high database load and reduce system performance.
System administrators can enable eager loading for linked app items. With this feature, only a single database query is performed, and information is loaded exclusively for the first 10 links for each item on the app page. This setting is applied at the company level and affects all apps.
To enable eager loading, activate the feature flag eagerLoadAppItemsEnabled. For more details, refer to the articles Modify BRIX On-Premises Enterprise parameters and Modify BRIX Standard parameters. If you are using a SaaS version, contact your BRIX rep to enable the feature flag.
The method of retrieving data for related item links affects how they are displayed in tables, tiles, and kanban boards:
- With the default loading method, users can see the total number of hidden items:
- When eager loading is enabled, users cannot see the total number of items in the field включении:
In either case, the user can open the item's page to view all the links.
