Question

I have a view that is categorized by Country and then sorted by customer name – customer name is not unique (it is the list of jobs, so customers appear often). I can filter the view easily with a dropdown by country. Now I want to search inside the filtered view for customer. What’s the best approach?

Answer 1

The most promising approach, but not fully happy with it yet:
– cache the countries (they don’t change that often) to get a country selection
– sort the view (not categorize) by country and customer
– use a JSON datasource and a Dojo grid
– there set the search to a vector with Country and Customer
– Set exact match to false

It will start the grid at the customer but display more when you scroll down, but that’s OK in my case.
