I want to be able to filter down an Announcements list by multiple values

  • 0

I want to be able to filter down an Announcements list by multiple values coming from a Current User Filter web part. I managed to connect the consumer and provider web part (using this http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/connect-a-filter-web-part-to-a-list-view-web-part-HA010250989.aspx) but filtering does not seem to be working the way it should. I think it has to do with the way the provider web part sends the filter values to the consumer or with the way these values are being compared.

1.- I created a Managed Metadata Column in my Announcements list

2.- I created a new User Profile property from Central Admin which also points to the same Term Set as my column in the Announcements list

3.- I connected both web parts using the link above and set up the Filter to “Send all values”

When I set the User Profile property to several values, Ex. “Tag B; Tag C” only items with “Tag B” in my Announcements list are displayed.

In other words:

Announcements list:

Title   Tags
Item 1  A;B
Item 2  C;D
Item 3  B
Item 4  E
Item 5  A

When User Profile property = “Tag B; Tag C” The announcements list gets filtered to:

Item 1
Item 3

but I want,

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

    Here is the answer:
    Only the first filter value will be considered by the consumer web part when filtering, which totally explains why items are being sorted by “Tag B” only.
