Amount of currently assigned submissions when assign a paper to an editor

This question was already posted at least three times before:

Anytime the answer was the outcomin “Assigned to editor” filter in the dashboard. But in my opinion it’s not a solution for the following reason. When a JE use the filter in the dashboard, he’s looking for a sumbission («I remember John is working on that paper… what’s its damn title?»). The “currently assigned” feature shows the workload of each editors instead, and it suggests to the JE who can work on the last paper.

If a journal has for example twelve SE, the JE should do twelve researches on the dashboard, take a note of the workloads of each SE, and then “adding one” any time he assign a new paper to someone.
It’s a little boring.
