Make the "Filters" and "Items list" separately scrollable in the web vault (like it is in the desktop app)

When you have a list of collections over 30-40 (we have nearly 100 to manage separate customers), when scrolling down the collection list you are unable to see the vault contents without needing too scroll back up. If the Collections list was separately scrollable from the vault contents, or perhaps something similar to how you can freeze cells in Excel.

It’s the same problem with too many top level folders. I have to pack them all into sub-folders to avoid this problem but this is not always ideal. I hope this gets implemented because it is a daily usability annoyance. It would also be nice to be able to change the order so Collections could show up first & then folders. Some sorting/drag & drop function could solve this.

@cerrius maybe edit the title so it says Web Vault since this is not a problem via the app as far as I can tell.

this absolutely needs to be made a thing asap. We have hundreds of accounts in our org and having to scroll up all the time is just ridiculous. this is a huge design oversight

Thanks for the feedback all, there are upcoming changes to the web vault that should remedy this issue.

Yeah, it really would be good if the web vault would “behave” like the desktop app:

Instead, the current web vault still scrolls the “Filters” section together with the “Items”:

Note: I changed the title to something more precise (I hope).

(before, it was: “Separate scrollable collections list from (collection) vault contents”)

Hello! Any updates on this?

In the WebUI, when navigating the vault and you have a large number of collections, you have to scroll down to select your collection then scroll all the way to the top of the screen to see the contents of that collection.

Could we investigate making the filter box have its own scroll functionality or effectively make it floating so the WebUI is less tedious to navigate?

Hi, someone’s already created a suggestion for this: Make the "Filters" and "Items list" separately scrollable in the web vault (like it is in the desktop app)

With a long list of passwords, notes, etc. it’s challenging when we need to scroll all the way back to the top to click another, folder, organization or collection.
It would be nice if that navigation stayed fixed when we scrolled down.

I know that using the search box is a workaround and that’s what we do, but it would still be nice to still see the Vault information even when we scroll.

Thank you for listening.
