Filtering a Table Before Displaying it

Post by Johnk » 2013-02-09 17:01

My Membership database has two identical tables drawing from the same data.
One table shows all members. Some members may be have been deceased or inactive for a long time.
The second table will contain active members and this will be determined by the date they've paid to. (30/06/12)

For most of the year we will only want to deal with active members.

I want my Active members table to automatically show active records only. I do not want my users to enter a filter each time they wish to use the table. If that were the case, I could get them to use a single table and filter it, but mistakes would be made.

AppGini asks if you wish to set a filter before the table is displayed, but it would be great to be able to set a filter during production. For example, Default Sort By could be suplimented with Default Filter. I see many, many uses for this feature.

In the meantime, how do I implement it? Can I use a hook and how?

I would love to see this feature implemented. I thought there was a way to save a filter and set the table to load with that filter each time it's loaded but can't seem to get it going now. If there is a workaround for now I too would love to hear about it.

I'm hitting my head against this issue again. Need to present a table sorted on a separate Date and Time field...
