I am building a list form for SharePoint 2010 using Nintex Forms 2010.
The user must select an item from a different list, so I have added a List Lookup control. But the user can only select among items that starts with a specific string.
For example, the lookup list could contain items with titles 'foo1','foo2','bar1','bar2'. I only want the user to be able to select 'foo1' or 'foo2'.
In the filtering section of the List Lookup control I have specified the following:
Filter available selections = By a specific value
Where field = fn-Substring("Title",0,3)
Filtered by value = foo
Unfortunately this does not result in any options for the user to select - just an empty control.
If I change the filter to:
Where feild = Title
Filtered by value = foo1
Then I get the foo1 option - and only that one. Trying something like
Filtered by value = foo*
does not work either.
So how should I define the filter to get it to work. Or is what I am trying not possible in Nintex Forms?
The inline function won't work in your case, because it is a client side function, and your parameter is a server side object.
There two alternative ways can help with your request in server side.
1.Add a calculated value column to your list, use LEFT function to cut the search key for yourself:LEFT([Title],3). In nintex form, you can use this column to filter the list items.
Filter the list items in a view instead of nintex form. Suppose you have already known the [source view] property in List Lookup control.

I'm using the API query
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/workitemtypes/{type}/fields/{field}?api-version=5.1
with great success to get all of the allowed values for my fields. The issue is that the options to one of my dropdown menus is populated based on the selected value of another dropdown menu. Is it possible to pass a value to this GET query and then retrieve all of the allowedValues for this dynamically populated menu?
I'm afraid that this is currently impossible to pass a value to this GET query and then retrieve all of the allowedValues for this dynamically populated menu.
Work Item Types Field-Get rest api should only get the allowedValues of a specified field, cannot implement the logic of returning the allowedValues of this field based on the value of another field.
In addition, according to URI Parameters, you also cannot add the value of another field as optional parameters to the url for conditional filtering .

Does anyone know if there is a wildcard character in AppMaker that can be used for all possible values for a field in a query?
I currently have a datasource that is being filtered based on the status using a multi-select widget. What I would like to accomplish is when all values have been de-selected I want to load all the records of that datasource without clearing the entire query in case other filters have been applied. I have it working in-a-sense that I have to explicitly construct my query as such:
widget.datasource.query.filters.Status._in = ['Status Value 1','Status Value 2','Status Value 3']
My current solution is loading the correct data when a value is selected and it correctly shows the union of the query as the values are modified. However, it selects all of the values in my multi-select; which I know is how it is supposed to work.
I tried using widget.datasource.query.filters.Status._contains = ''; and changing the assignment value to no avail. I even tried the opposite approach using _notContains
The intended outcome is to have a filtering dashboard appear much like any website where when no filtering is selected all records are displayed. I was hoping to find a wildcard character that would load all of the records. Just trying to find a way to mimic other website filters with all records when none are selected.
Thanks for the time!
So the easiest solution here is to set up your Multiselect as follows:
Options binding:
#models.YourModel.fields.Status.possibleValues
or if you don't have the possible Status values in your model then set your options binding to:
['Status Value 1','Status Value 2','Status Value 3']
Values binding:
#datasource.query.filters.Status._in
Now anytime you select any choices in the multiselect, the query will only include records that include the selected choices. And if you deselect all choices the query will ignore that filter or treat it as an empty array of values, therefore returning all records unless you applied other filters.
I have an app built based on the a SharePoint list called "Proposal Tracker". One of the fields is a lookup field that provides a drop down from another list called "Employees". I am trying to filter this field, so that when I select it, the only employee names that are shown are the "active" employees.
I've tried adding this into the DataField of the one data card I'm trying to filter, but I get an error.
Filter(Employees,Status.Value = "Active")
Use Filter(CollectionName,Condition)
e.g: Filter(Employees,Status = "Active")
When you have a dropdown control selected you can choose its dependencies from other controls on the screen.
Example:
In Tableau 9.2, I currently have a parameter set up which contains multiple string values and an additional "All" value. I also have a calculated field which only contains the Str([some_field]) function. I have then dragged this calculated field into the "filters" pane and from there enabled "use all" and put the following formula under the "condition" tab:
// If All is selected, then do not filter
[my_filter_parameter] = 'All' OR
// Otherwise, filter on the current parameter
[my_filter_parameter] = [my_calculated_Field]
After creating the calculated field for multiple sheets in my dashboard (which use different data sources all contain the common some_field), then I can change the parameter's value and it will filter all of the sheets at once.
My issue is that I need this to take on multiple values at once via a check-box. I understand that a parameter can only take on one value at a time, so I am wondering how I can do this without making the same filter for each individual sheet in the dashboard. Perhaps this can be done with a calculated field?
EDIT: I have tried the technique here to make a global filter via a control view. This allows me to use Ctrl+Clicking to select multiple values in some_field at once, however I still do not have a dropdown box. Alternatively, if anyone knows how to use this method with a dropdown box, then that would be another solution.
If I am understanding your situation correctly, I have accomplished this using the following:
Create a calculated field and put the following code:
if [parameters].parametername = 'All' then true
elseif [parameters].parametername = FILTEREDCOLUMN then true
else false
end
Add that calculated field to the filters pane and select "True" - in other words, filter out any records where the calculated field is False. If the parameter you selected is "All" then all records will be True. Otherwise, it will only be True if the parameter matches the FILTEREDCOLUMN. I hope that helps.
Parameter can pass only one value at a time ,i.e. Parameter Control will have Single Drop Down List.
I am using a data connection list to load desired views in an InfoPath form on SharePoint. I have a permission list with 2 columns: usernames and control group. My form on the main list loads a specific view based on what the username and group are of the permission list. You have to filter out the group based on the form's username() function to match the username column and set that as a condition to (on form load) change it to a specific view.
All this works, but the problem comes in when you have a user with multiple control groups. The filter only returns the first instance it finds. I can't think of a way to fix this. Maybe load the other list as a repeating table into the form, but then how would I reference that table in the conditions of a form load rule? Or is there a way to get a field filter to look past the first item it finds?
Update: I forgot to mention that I have to use a field to hold your filtered username:id:group aka group[title=username()] and then use that in the form load conditions. I think this is where the problem is, as this filter is what doesn't store all instances of the users id from the control list, but only the first.

Are you querying the data in from info path or using visual studio, if you are querying in info path check the condition as Display name matches the username() and the query the data
