Custom 'Show As' or direct link from sitemap?

Hi again - I'm hoping to see if anyone has been able to either:

Create a custom 'Show As' button - my users need a more visible one-click option.
Create a direct link to a view with particular component that doesn't default to the entity list.
1. I have a entity list view of a custom entity, but I would like another grouping that shows a particular set of views with a particular component attached. I would like the entity list view because I want to take advantage of the OOTB filter and search options.

Thanks for any help!

Re: Custom 'Show As' or direct link from sitemap?

Essentially I want to be able to navigate directly to either a control or an OOTB list from the sitemap. So, two buttons to the same table but displaying different things. At the moment when you try and do this it jumps to the first instance in the sitemap related to the table even though you can get it to show the correct view. I'll try and post up an image of what's happening later.

Hi @skoofy5 ,

Not so sure if I get what you try to implement, so I'm just checking:

Let's suppose you don't define the PCF for the dataset on the entity-level, but define for each view another PCF. The PCF should change when you change the view (at least that's what I suppose).

Could this help? Or you have a different use case?

It would also be great to be able to filter the view selector based on a passed parameter. I don't think that's possible either though.
