As a Knack Builder, I would like to set up the option for my users to search a single field and bring up results over many objects.

Scenario 1: You want to search for a Company and see both Reps and Employees connected to that Company.

Scenario 2: You want to filter all of your report views on a page.

This would be about the biggest single thing you could add to increase Knack's power.&nbsp;

Agreed

I currently achieve this by adding a dummy customer when adding a rep, and using a customer = yes/no field to differentiate elsewhere …

Would love to be able to create a map that combines data from my sales reps object and customers object.

**Yes this is definitely needed.&nbsp;**

In addition, the ability to filter/query object(s) in combination with the logged in user would also be very helpful.

A similar feature (combining users and connected records) is provided on form fields when selecting dropdown filters for connected records..&nbsp;

Hi

I would like to be able to prepare a report that compiles across 2 objects. Is this same thing?
