I’ve spent the better part of the day looking for a way to do this; it’s something I’ve always thought should be doable, but it doesn’t seem so.
Is there a way to programmatically expand view categories out to a certain level? For example, in a view that has 5 categories, I want to expand only the first for, and collapse the 5th.
It seems the functionality available only allows you to expand/collapse all categories, or a single category.
Subject: “Cascading” view collapsing/expanding
I don’t know of a way to do that, neither in the client, nor through a browser.
Subject: Never done this but have you tried …
formula language in the View Post Open
using commands such as ViewCollapse, ViewExpand
perhaps supplemnted by NavNext
or even OpenView with keys to navigate to teh toplevel category
You would have to find some way of passing parameters to select the degree of expansion (? environment variables)
