Is it possible to set a filter on the view of a notesuiworkspace.picklistcollection before the function is invoked?
I'm trying to make it easier for our users to search through a large number of records during data entry by reducing the number of documents to search through.
Regards
Yes. Caveat: the view must be categorized, and a custom sort which disrupts the categories, also disrupts the filter. If a Custom sorted column is remembered, this might impact the functionality.
You can limit the Collection shown to just the documents in a single category by using the optional parameter SingleCategory$ for PickListCollection. Works great!
Another option here would be using one of the Private on First use views. The Private on First use view can be set to only show the documents that each user is interested in and then use this view in your PickListCollection
I have tried using Private on first use views in the past but encountered thorny issues.. Like design updates for those private views are a pain to manage.
Another option is to use a folder, which is populated by an agent.
