I am designing a table that contains a series of items, each item has a series of associated details (name, number, group, etc) that are displayed in several columns; each column has a filter in the header, so that the user can filter and sort the items comfortably, and thus quickly find and select what he/she is looking for.
The table allows multiple selection of items, and then actions can be performed in block to the selected items, through an action panel.
Some stakeholders have thought that it may be useful to add an option through which the selected items appear at the top of the table, in order to have all the selection visually grouped in the same area, and also for example to be able to select items from different pages and at the end of the selection, return to page 1 to see all the selection made.
It seems to me that it can be useful to add this option, but I also think that if it is not well designed it can be confusing, for example, the fact of having to return to page 1 to view all the selected items, and also the behavior of the table if for example a second filtering is performed with a selection made.
Any suggestions?
