Afform - compose layouts with multiple SearchKit displays

[colemanw]

Overview

Allows multiple search displays on an afform, which permits composing a dashboard-like layout.

Before

Afform GUI could only handle one search display per form.

If the search filters from one display can be made to affect both displays at once, this opens up Search Kit to replace other tools in a number of common use cases. e.g. many CiviReports can be replicated in Search Kit except they can't display totals at the bottom, which this could fix.

I was able to get 2 searches on a page - I couldn't figure out how to put them side by side. As @MegaphoneJon notes the ability to filter more than one at once would be a killer feature - at the moment I can only add search level filters not page level filters.

From a WMF pov I suspect the request to be able to add report dashlets into the mix will come up pretty quickly since not everything can be moved over as yet. Also being able to add afform forms will come up a bit slower (e.g on my dashboard on the site I use I have an afform to create new organisations + a search to find contacts so I can search in the search & then use the form if not found)

Anyway you can present to David et al & see what feedback you get - that's my initial thoughts

Another interesting use case I just hit - I'd love to add created_date to the relationship browse but not sure everyone wants it - so then I think maybe I could replace the tab with search kit - but the tab has 2 displays on it (active & inactive)

Those are good suggestions but they shouldn't block merging this. It would be good to get this one merged @eileenmcnaughton so I can finish up the project for WMF.

Looks like this progress is good - more to come
