Hi all,I have an embedded view and previous next button to navigate to the previous/Next set of documents.
But due to large number of documents I need to provide links like A|B|C|D …Z at the bottom of the table which holds view.
Is it possible to customize the view to solve the problem?
I have done it through a very hectic way and that will not be appreciated neither it is user friendly.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

You can do it with link generarting specific url for your view, I do not believe that you can do that with the standard next/ previews command.See the following help fragments of designer :
The startkey command into a url view will do what you want
Optional arguments for OpenView
Append optional arguments to refine the URL. Combine any of the following arguments for the desired result except where otherwise noted.
Collapse=n
Where n is the row number to display in collapsed format in a hierarchical view. Do not combine this argument with the ExpandView or CollapseView arguments.
CollapseView
Displays the view in collapsed format
Count=n
Where n is the number of rows to display
Expand=n
Where n is the row number to display in expanded format in a hierarchical view. Do not combine this argument with the ExpandView or CollapseView arguments.
ExpandView
Displays the view in expanded format
RestrictToCategory=category
Sets the category for “Show Single Category” object
Where category is the category to be displayed in the view.
Start=n
Where n is the row number to start with when displaying the view. The row number in a hierarchical view can include sub indexes (for example, Start=3.5.1 means the view will start at the third main topic, sub-topic 5, document 1).
StartKey=string
Where string is a key to a document in the view. The view displays at that document.

No doubt this will work.
But this approach assumes that there will be at least one document starting with each alphabet.
Like as I have stated earlier My requirement says to provide a link for each alphabet.
And incase no document is there for any particular alphabet it should show document with nearest alphabet.
With the approach you have provided it will show “No document found” if there will be no document corresponding to that alphabet.
Let me know if I am wrong.
