I have a data set that contains a number of groups and each group has a number of individuals.
I have a tab in a report which shows some statistics for all the groups as a whole.
I have another tab which has a filter to only show info for selected groups in that tab.
I have a third tab, which I want to show info for individuals within whatever group is selected on the second tab.
I have 2 filters setup for these, a 'group' filter and an 'individual' filter so that I can easily add the filter to any visualizations.
I am trying to only show individuals within a group selected on the second tab ('group' filter) on the filter in the third tab ('individual' filter) however this will only happen when I set that filter to the 'group' filter'. This would be OK except when I go back to tab 2 to change the group (and thus the available individuals on the third tab) I only have one group available in this filter IF I have selected an individual on the third tab.
Is there any way to do the following:
Only show individuals based on 'group' filter in the filter on the third tab, which will effect the 'individual' filter. All groups should be available in the groups filter independent of the individual selection on third tab
No, not with using standard filters. The fact that you have these broken up across tabs doesn't change the fact. When you apply a filter, you are filtering the underlying data-set as whole. Thus, when you select an individual selection on the third tab, it is filtering the underlying data table which feeds all three tabs to this level.
What you can do, is add in an Action Control that will only refresh / remove the filters applied on a certain tab. This will be similar to clicking the Reset All Filters button on the tool bar, except we can apply this to your specific page.... in this case the third tab.
In a text area on the second tab
Right Click > Edit Text Area > Insert Action Control
Set the Display text to what ever you want
Control type: Button or Image... perhaps something like this
Available actions > Pages and visualizations: Navigate to the third tab page name and click Add
Available actions > Functions: Navigate to Reset All Filters and click Add
Additionally, you may want to add Unmark Marked Rows as well
NOTE: This should be done IN THIS ORDER
Now, when you navigate back to the second tab, you can click this button / image you have inserted to remove the filters applied on the third tab without removing those applied in the first tab.
Another way would be some IronPython... but I'm not going to serve that up since it's even more complicated.
Also, I would look into Filtering Schemes. It doesn't help this question much, since you are creating cascading filters, but I think you'll find it powerful in future analytic designs.

In LibreOffice Calc, if I create four radio buttons on a Basic dialog, with a tab-order of say 11, 12, 13, 14 then they will be treated as a single four-way group.
If I insert any other active form item, such as another text field, (but unfortunately not a dividing line), in the middle, then I get what I want, which is two distinct groups.
Think:
Q.1: * Yes
* No
Q.2: * Yes
* No
All of the documentation seems to be saying that a group is made by giving each button the same name, but this appears to be out of date or out of context, as the dialog editor simply will not allow them to have the same name.
Giving the buttons in each group two different group names also has no effect.
According to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Form_controls_reference:
If wizards are on, creating a group box launches the Group Element wizard. This creates a group of option buttons (in which only one may be selected at a time). In most cases, using a group box is the best way to create a set of option buttons.
Typically I use group boxes as recommended here. However, instead of the wizard (LibreOffice wizards often give messy results), I find it easier to create the dialog in the dialog editor and then modify the resulting .xdl file using a text editor.
The important thing is the tab index order, as explained at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Basic/Option_Button:
Note, that option buttons that belong to the same group must have consecutive tab indices. Two groups of option buttons can be separated by any control with a tab index that is between the tab indices of the two groups.
A horizontal line will work if that is what you want. For example, here is an example that has two groups. Notice the tab index of 2 for the horizontal line, which is in between the tab indices of the buttons we want to separate (0 to 1 and 3 to 4).

If you don't like the idea of modifying the .xdl file directly, it is possible to do this in the dialog editor without the wizard by selecting each control and changing the value of the tab order field.
I have a Requirement Where a bundle of Items needs to be displayed in the Drop-Down List. The Problem for me is, because there are so many Items inside it, I need to Use Combobox over List-Box. The Reason for that is, if I know the name of the item, I can type in the search box of the drop-down and get my Item, Combo-Box allows you to do that. But the List Box doesn't allow the User Input.
Now, Because there are some which names cannot be remembered, I need to use the Scroll bar in the drop-down to pick up the time. This is hectic, to select a single Item. I would like to have the facility of Using a Multi-select in this case.
So the Requirements are below:
1) A Drop-Down that allows the user to type in part of the Input(Say Ref for Refreigerator)
2) A Drop-Down that allows the Multi-select.
Obviously, I don't want to have two drop-downs Splitting the data.
I am open to other Suggestions.
Please Share your thoughts.
Is there a way to conditionally enable change status icon in List tab of any application in Maximo 7.5/7.6 . For example the change status option should be visible when the list tab has PO's which are in DRAFT status.
Maximo is working as design for the following reasons:
Conditional UI can only operate within the context of a record because on the main tab you have a record in the databean.
When on the list tab you are only in the resultsetbean so the calculations are not the same, hence it doesn't get evaluated on the
list tab, only on the details page of the record.
Restrictions cannot not being applied on a list tab at this point.

I'm thinking in creating an action to deselect every item in a Tab, even items selected in pages that you are not seeing.
I'll like to know your opinion about this.
I mean:
If you filter a tab, for example column name start with 'C' and select 2 items and after that you change the filter, column name start with 'X' and select 3 items and after that you clean the filter and apply you'll see all items in the Tab but probably you don't see the items selected. If now you want to change the selection you need to deselect the items selected but, how do you know what items are selected? how do you deselect all items? You can't.
So I'm thinking in creating this action and add it to default actions in list mode.
I want to be able to filter a SharePoint list based on the values present (easy by clicking the filter button at the top of the list for each column). However I'd like to give options in a drop down menu and once chosen the list would be refilted based on the options I give. Is this possibile to do in the browser or would it require designer or actual code? Thank you.
This is all SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Server knowledge; I've never used 2007.
What #Ryan is alluding to here is that you can click a down-arrow on most list columns to filter them. One caveat is that if the column is multi-select, it won't display a drop-down. (SharePoint doesn't know how to group, filter, or sort on multi-select columns.) Another caveat could be that if you're displaying the list items in such a way that their headings don't appear (such as in a List View web part, or maybe in some of the styles...) you obviously won't be able to filter.
A solution might be to use a "SharePoint List Filter" web part, which uses a list column as the source for filter values which can then be sent to other web parts -- such as a List View web part. Presumably, you could use the list you're intending to filter as a source for the Filter web part itself. From a UX perspective maybe this might help you display the list with different styling, but still get the drop-down filter directly in the content area.
A caveat with the "SharePoint List Filter" web part is that it's not actually a drop-down per se, but instead shows a little filter icon that pops up a dialog in which users then have to select a value.
Note there's also the "Managed Metadata Navigation" feature that would give users dropdowns (for e.g. choice columns) and metadata filter fields (for managed metadata columns). These show up in the Quick Launch (left-nav area) if configured on the list/library settings. The feature must first be enabled on the site.
