Switch from selected search result to a corresponding view

HolgerS

Hi all,

suppose, I search the vault on certain criteria.

Now, I want to select one result and switch directly from there to a predefined view containing several subviews (Desktop Client).

The predefined general view has two grouping level and reaches then a layer with subviews prepared to get a quick overview.
The grouping levels are Customer & Project, which are both properties of the search result's object.

How can I use the properties to skip the grouping selections?

How would I approach this? Or can you provide with some directions?

Thank you,
Holger

    In the current desktop client (note: (+) Experience M-Files' New Desktop Client - Product News - News & Announcements - M-Files Community), provided you can express where you want to get to, you can navigate to a folder (M-Files UI Extensibility Framework - NavigateToFolder Method) via the User Interface Extensibility (UIX) framework.  So you could perhaps create a UIX application that adds a context menu item that the user can click that looks at the selected object, creates a folder defs instance to represent them, then navigates to it.

    One other option to consider is whether you can use the "Browse relationships" functionality (see: Creating a New Object Type (m-files.com)) to use the built-in double-click navigation functionality.  From what you've described I don't think it'll work here, but it's worth acknowledging as a potential solution in some similar cases.

    The new UIX - used in the upcoming desktop client and also the web client - also has a similar set of functionality as I mentioned above, but the syntax is slightly different.  I simply mention this as, if you're looking to build something, I want you to be aware that the two are not directly compatible and if you're looking to use the new client(s) in the very near future then you'd possibly need to build two versions of the UI application to cover both clients.  That said: it sounds like the actual logic here is quite simple, so that's perhaps not a huge amount of work.
