Using select or sorting on Data View with data entry

John Hughes

I have a single entity for training videos I created. I created a blob cube to and made a data view with data entry on so I could upload the videos and have users download them from there as well. However I have different types of videos and would like to be able to use the select function on the object and not the screen so I could display two data views side by side with the 2 different types of videos.

I could always create a separate entity and load them that way but I'd rather not add another entity if I don't have to. I'm using Board version 14.

Hi @John Hughes,

It is possible to apply a Selection on the screen but also at the object level:

On the Layout editor, go to the "Select" section, you can create selects using entities.

• Screen select: applied at screen level and not editable from here
• Layout Select: applied at object level and can be different for each object into a same screen

If my understanding is correct, your BLOB cube has only one dimension (training video), then you have 2 possibilities:

• Create the Select on your entity on each Data View with the relevant training videos (this must be made each time you upload a new video to add it to one or the other)
• More dynamically, you can create another entity "training type" and define it as parent of your current entity, define relationships and apply the select on this new entity created on your dataviews (in that case, if the relationship is defined correctly when you upload a new video, you don't have to update your dataviews, it will be placed in the correct one dynamically)

Best regards,
