How to filter a table control based on service context

Solved1.78K views10th February 2021service Visio Visio Visual Overview

Jim Woodier [DevOps Member]765 6th February 2021 0 Comments

I am building a visual overview to be used with a service template and want to include a parametercontrol table, that has its rows filtered based on the service context. However when I include the table in the visual all rows are visible.

Can someone demonstrate the usage of the [servicedefinitionfilter] placeholder for this application?

Thanks

Update-

Below is the shape data I have set, when I do this no rows appear in the table control. When I replace [ServiceDefinitionFilter] with a specific value i.e. 11 – MCP1-203_ATS 01, that row does appear in the table control.

The protocol in question is the Generic Ping protocol.

The [ServiceDefinitionFilter] placeholder can be used where a table index is expected. This is then replaced by the filter that is specified in the service definition.

For filtering a (table) parameter control, the configuration should look as follows:

Element                                  10/120
ParameterControl                  500
ParameterControlOptions      TableRowFilter:501=[ServiceDefinitionFilter]

Where the parameter with ID 501 is the column that should match the filter.

Thanks Sebastiaan, unfortunately that did not work. I’ll add some more info to the original question.

After digging into this a bit further, we can confirm the [ServiceDefinitionFilter] is not correctly replaced in the ParameterControlOptions. For this an internal task has been created.

A workaround would be to store the filter in a property on the service. This property can then be used in the ParameterControlOptions as follows:

Element 10/120
ParameterControl 500
ParameterControlOptions TableRowFilter:501=[Property:MyRowFilter]
Options ForcePropertyFromPage

Jim Woodier [DevOps Member] commented 9th February 2021

Is there a way to have the TableRowFilter:501=[Property:MyRowFilter] represent multiple rows? Filtered on the same parameter i.e. 501

Sebastiaan Dumoulein [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 10th February 2021

Not using the TableRowFilter which is a filter applied on the server.

However you could use a client filter using ClientSideRowFilter which performs a post filter on the client.
ParameterControlOptions ClientSideRowFilter:MyParameterName:[Property:MyRowFilter]

Here the syntax uses the name of the parameter instead of the ID and any row that has a value for that parameter that contains the filter will be shown.

@Sebastiaan, can you tell me if this issue has been resolved in v10.1.3.0?

Thanks!
