Since our migration from v5 to v6 (v6.0.0.4.26), users have complained about their Action Items. One in particular, who has done a large percentage of the data entry work since the implementation of v5, has an enormous list of GSM Action Items (2044 items). In v5 this wasn't a problem, only those in review/draft were shown and the likes of Approved/Archived did not. Now in v6, everything she has worked on for the past 3 years is displayed.

Here are some of her issues:

• Cannot sort them into useful lists: for example if she wanted to sort by ingredient spec then because this is an alphabetical sort she gets the thousand or so formulation specs coming up on top which she has to scroll through to get to the ingredient specs.

• Having thousands of specs in her action list isn’t particularly inspiring in terms of trying to keep it down to an acceptable level.

• She can’t tell how much work she has ahead of her by at a quick glance of her action list, she has to wade through it and work out was is old and what is new.

• She doesn't want all of these specs in her action list for years to come, it is poor housekeeping. She would like to be able to clear the action list out.

Surely others have experienced this? Maybe there is a setting that I have overlooked in the v6 setup? I really hope this is not "working as expected".
