ACCURATELY see how many objects are inside a View

Good afternoon,

Is there a truly effective way to show how many objects/documents are inside a View?

So I have a View that is broken down into one grouping level (containing 4 folders).
We have to determine the number of documents by each category.

First I want to determine the overall number of documents inside the View, but if I right-click on the View and select general, it shows me the number 2,370:

However, on manually counting the documents inside each of the four folders, the actual number is 2,807.

I realised that the system is only counting the first page of objects, so as an example in the first folder 'Duty' it shows 1,000 documents:

However, the real number when I go into the folder is 1,437 because right-clicking the folder only counts the first page of documents; so of course this skews the number on the top-level:

Is there any other/accurate way to determine the number of objects within a View instead of having to manually check each folder for actual number?

  • Good morning Joonas,

    We have been tasked by our HQ who don't use M-Files to return the total number of transactions for the year (document count), including a break-down by category (duty, social etc.).
    So I created this View to show the documents for the year to date, but there doesn't appear to be a quick or straight-forward way to determine the total numbers (and by each category) without going into the folders themselves.
