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 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.
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.
I have a form on Sharepoint, whereby I have 2 drop-down controls.
Lets say the first one has values "A, B and C" to choose from.
According to the option selected in the 1st drop-down, I will have to populate the 2nd drop-down accordingly.
Is there a way to do that in Sharepoint Designer or Infopath?
The dropdown are both created similarly;
Or if I can at least filter the 2nd drop down, according to the value chosen in the 1st drop down.
I am newbie in Sharepoint dev, and need some tips on the above.
if I've understood you correctly, what you are trying to do is populate the 2nd dropdown list based on what is selected from the first.
Have you tried to put a filter on the 2nd drop-down, like this...?
Open up your list form in InfoPath
Right click on the 2nd choice field and select, 'Drop-down List Box Properties'
Click on the button to the right of 'Entries'
Click on 'Filter Data' button
Click on 'Add'
Enter the condition (i.e. 'Choice' is equal to 'Choice', or whatever the name of your 1st choice field is.)
Does that work? (I'm assuming you aren't using a secondary data source.)
I am trying to filter a field in a pivot table so that it only shows some values.
I have a field which is product code and I want to only show the product codes that are H01, P07, F04, L43, ... and the list continues. For the moment, I have to click the little arrow next to the field, do a search on the code and then click on the checkbox add current filter to selection and hit ok. I have to do this 20 times for the 20 different product codes.
Is there a way to enter in the search box immediately H01, P07, F04, L43, ... just once and then hit ok and I ll see all the product codes immediately?
Thanks,
John.
You can loop through pivot items and select the ones that match your criteria using VBA as suggested here:
Looping through report filters to change visibility doesn't work
The only issue I've had with this sort of approach is that you cannot deselect the only selected item, so if you are going to be deselecting then you should make sure to select particular items as well.
In the list, I set-up "ID" column and "Title" column.
I added 10 items in the list, and I'm trying to put the 10th item between 1 and 2.
After my research, many people said I can't manually change ID number...
Is there a way to re-order the item?
deleting every items is the only answer?
Please help!
The ID column is an internal identity-like column. You cannot change the value. If you need a column that you can order by (and change), just create a new column called SortOrder or something. Then sort by that column.
I know this is an old post, but I thought this might help someone who might be looking for an OOB answer.
Go into your links list so that you see your List Tools, Items and List at the top.
Select Items.
There is a Change Item Order Icon in the Ribbon. This will allow you to renumber the Links in your list and change the order.
You can manually change the items order if you create your list based on a link list definition. This kind of list allows you to re-order items as you require through a ribbon button. I use this workaround often.
The ID Column is SharePoint inbuilt and you can not change the value of it.
for your solution either you need to delete all item and insert it again or as #Nigel Whatling say you have to add SortColumn
Column Setting will only change the order in the SharePoint List. To change the view order Use the Modify View Selector to adjust the way the fields are sorted. Modify View is found on the ... next to Find and Item Box or If your in the site setting it is under View on the lower 3rd of the page
I also got stuck with this and couldn't use the previous answers as I couldn't see the buttons they spoke of in the ribbon.
I went to List > List Settings in the ribbon. At the bottom of the list settings page I click on a View to edit it (or create new view). Unser the heading Sort you can change the column you wish to sort by and change from descending to ascending etc.
Actually, if I understand the question, it was just what I was trying to accomplish and spent most of my morning working on.
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Below the listed columns, see Column Ordering
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
Updated steps:
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Above the Column list click on the "Item" link
At the bottom of the page select "Column Ordering"
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
