Hi Steve, that's fantastic, just what I was looking for.

Thank you very much!

In terms of the selection page, is there any way to allow the user to select the category in the main window rather than the device sidebar, for example a content view saying "Country:", "Product:" and a drop-down list beside it with the available options?


(Apologies for the repost, I did not see the previous thread)

Not exactly, but you can insert links to tabs and may be able to hack this up using advanced tabs.

Oh, I'm new to the Advanced tabs, but think I understand how that may work.

Thanks Steve!

Hi, regarding the advanced tab, I have a query regarding the functioning of it.
Please find a demonstrative iok attached showing what I am attempting to do.

In the Index tab, I would like the user to select a product and market. I then want the Advanced tab to automatically select that product and market (which it does - by making the advanced tab only capture View and Layout configuration).

I also have a tab capturing all the data, not linked to the selection in the Index tab (a sort-of overview).
When I click the tab capturing all the data and then click the advanced tab, the product and market selection reverts to that of the tab capturing all the data.

How can I get the advanced tab to only look at what the Index tab is selected and not copying over the settings from the last clicked (non-advanced) tab?


I can think of one option which is to make the tab capturing all data an advanced tab and duplicating the data it is showing for all markets and products, but think this is a rather clunky work-around.

Is there a better solution to make the Advanced tab only look at what the Index tab is showing?

No. You can only use these advanced tabs to create a series of filtering-independent tabs, or view-independent tabs. If you have other tabs which are normal tabs, you must require your users to exit them via your index page.

Hi Steve, thanks for the information.

I just thought of another workaround - de-querying the filters in the Index tab may be an option, although it will reduce functionality (of the device) in the normal tab. I can duplicate the de-queried field to add functionality again if needs be :)
