Hi,
In mediaops "Search Jobs" page, in the "query filter" component we can select states in a checkbox list.
The GQI source used if "Get object manager instances".
In "Job view", as a "Get ad hoc data" source is used to select jobs from a time range, we can notice that the field in "query filter" is a string for the "State".
My question is the following, is it possible to have a checkbox list for the states when we use a custom ad hoc source (without any loss of performance with join operation)?
Thanks
Regards
Kévin

Hi Kévin,
It is currently not possible to mark a column of an Ad Hoc source as discrete. A possible workaround could be to enable the Filter assistance setting of the Query filter component. This will list all possible column values instead of the text input. When there are a lot of values, it will still default to the text input. The checkbox list can be toggled in that case. Note that enabling this options will have an impact on the initial load of the filter options.
We have a task on our backlog to add support for discretes to Ad Hoc sources.
I see that this question has been inactive for some time. Do you still need more information about this? If not, could you select the answer (using the ✓ icon) to indicate that the question is resolved?
