Hi, I need a user to be able to select an element where the name contains certain characters from a drop down feed. At the moment I can only see how to filter the feed by elements, protocol, view etc but not via the filters that you get access to with a query. Is there a way to filter my drop down list by the results given from a query?
Filtering a parameter table based on a query result is possible and can be achieved like this:
Create a parameter table with a protocol parameter. Link the elements from the query table as a filter. The selected element from the query table will be used to fetch the new table.
This is not possible at the moment. The dropdown feed does not yet support linking to queries.
You can use a component that supports queries though and use that as a feed. For example a table with the “Get elements” query can be used to feed elements:
But to be able to specificallly link the dropdown feed with query data would require a new feature. I aggree this would open a lot of potential and would be a powerful addition to the dashboards application.
Hi, thanks for this. I agree it would allow the feeds to me more powerful. For my use case I have a table filtered by a query which is displaying the elements that I need. If I use this as a feed, which components can I update with it? Can I create a parameter table and then have that table (as a feed) update the element for it? Or, is there another way to do this? I need to filter a list of elements by element name using a character filter. I then want that to feed a table where I display selected parameters. Then, each time a new element is selected it updates the parameters for that element.
Hi, Ross. I see. Then I have good news. Your use case would already be possibile even without interaction of a dropdown feed. You can link your query table directly to the parameter table. See other answer.
Thank you, this workaround is working perfectly. Ross
