Ability to define the Max. Height (or Max. Requests to Show) for the Requests Widget

[samwoo]

Good morning,

I have created a dedicated page which contains all the various options related to the Requests Widget (since many users don't know about the different options to display Requests they are a Connection of, or their Staff Requests, despite the options being there in the dropdown):

The idea is to add a link to the page above or below a standard Requests widget on the main pages, so users can see the bigger picture if they need to.

 

Enhancement Request

However, I think it would be beneficial if we could either:

1. Define a set height for the Requests widget, which will increase the row height, regardless of whether there is content or not.
    
   1. If multiple different heights were defined within different Requests Widgets in a single row, then the row height will be taken from the widget with the biggest height defined.
       
2. Define a Max. Number of Requests to Show (in multiples of 2, defaults to 6)
    
   1. If increasing the number, then obviously the widget height would increase. This would directly impact the height of other widgets in the same row as well.
   2. If the Requests Widget is in the last row, and another widget height in the same row, is a lot taller than the height of the Requests Widget, then the Requests Widget will adapt accordingly.

The space in the requests widget, is then filled accordingly with the requests, and subsequently reduces the amount of pagination.

Thanks,

Samuel
