Description
It would be great to have the possibility to adjust the behavior of civi's recently viewed items stack to make the output more useful:
- Size of "Recent Items" stack:
The maximum size of the stack may be configured here. It accepts integers between 1 and 100 and defaults to 20. The formerly used constant in CRM/Utils/Recent.php has been removed.
- Recent Items Providers:
More or less all of Civi's components write to the stack. This may lead to useless views when displaying the list contents. For instance, generating pdf letters for multiple contacts may flood the list with entries which are hard to differentiate.
This setting accepts strings representing the components and which are allowed to write to the stack, for example 'Contacts', 'Activities' or 'Grants'. If the setting is empty or unset, all components are permitted.
Both settings should be located in page Administer -> System Settings -> Miscellanous
