Copying Selections into Alternate States

diwakarnahata — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 21:50:21 GMT

Hi All,

I have a scenario where I have some filters in Default State, and have copied the same filters to be in State-1 and State-2.

Now when I select anything in the Default State filters, i want those selections to appear in the filters in State-1 and State-2 (over-ride if anything was present there). I am using this to drive some ad-hoc columns for comparison.

I don't want to use filed level triggers as there are lots of filters which will make the application slow.

Is there any way we can pass the selections in the Default State filter to the Filters in the other Alternate States?

Regards,

Diwakar

Once you've defined alternate states the actions Select in Field and Copy State Contents can be used to apply selections in another state. You can add such actions to buttons or text objects so the user has control over when the actions will be executed.

Gysbert,

Wow!! I never knew that those Alternate State actions appeared after an Alternate State was defined.

Many thanks for posting.
