ComboBox to filter Gallery by ID

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by IntraAdmin

I have a Gallery that I want users to be able to search by ID. I created a collection to get the ID and store it in a combo box plus added the value "All". With the function I have, I am only seeing "All" in the Value and the ID in Result within the collection. Therefore, "All" is the only value displaying in the combo box. I have tried using Value in place of Result to see if it will put the ID in the Value column, as well. How can I get the ID in the combo box for search purposes? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

ClearCollect(
colCID,
{Value:"All"},
{Result:('AIMS Q & A'.ID)}
);

@IntraAdmin Would you please try
ClearCollect (colCID, {Value:"All"}); ForAll('AIMS Q & A' As Master
Collect(colCID,{Value: Master.ID}));

Would you please explain if 'AIMS Q &A' is collection or DataSource ? if it is not a collection would you please try adding the source in collection and then in ForAll use this collection ?

@PriyankaGeethik @RandyHayes @WarrenBelz It's a data source. I hate to add a whole data source to a collection. Won't that effect performance? I will try, though.

@IntraAdmin ,

Firstly try a comma after Master, but this solution is subject to Delegation numbers (it will only add the first 500-2,000 records fields from the data source). If you want the newest record, you can do this

ClearCollect ( colCID, {Value:"All"} ); ForAll( Sort( 'AIMS Q & A' As aList, ID, Descending ), Collect( colCID, {Value: Text(aList.ID)} ) )

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@WarrenBelz @PriyankaGeethik Both are throwing an error with comma after Master in the code Priyanka shared and with the code Warren shared. The errors on both are attached. I am researching as we speak. We don't see delegation as an issue as we do not expect 2,000 items. This was an emergency project that needs to be completed tomorrow and was assigned Monday late afternoon. Hence, the urgency.

@IntraAdmin ,

Fixed on my post - problem with free-typing it needs a Text value.

Thank you so much for your help @PriyankaGeethik @WarrenBelz I have made multiple attempts to convert ID to text. In the Sort, ID needed to be "ID" and has been converted to text but I cannot get the VAlue in the Collect function to convert the aList.ID to text. In that Collect function is the only error which states that the Value column in the data source expects a Text type and you're using an Error type.
ClearCollect ( colCID, {Value:"All"} ); ForAll( Sort( 'AIMS Q & A' As aList, Text("ID"), Descending ), Collect( colCID, {Value: Text(aList.ID)} ) );

@IntraAdmin ,

You cannot have "All" which is text in the same field as the ID, which is numeric.

Why are your sorting by Text(ID) - you only need to sort by ID to get the newest records,

@WarrenBelz I want to have ALL as a choice in the combo box for search purposes so that users can search the Gallery1 by ID or show all items if ALL is chosen. Can we have a blank that will show all? I am getting an error if I don't have Text(ID) in the sort function. I am also getting an error in the Collect function. See image.
Search items all work except for ID
