Restricting documents that appear in a view

Hi there!

I have a view that I want populated according to personal preferences. I’ve created a form where users can set their personal preferences (I’m not using profile documents - I don’t like them because they’re not immediate). I can search my view and append field parameters like so:

…/ViewName?SearchView&Query=[Language]+CONTAINS+French

But when the view renders, I end up losing the ability to click on column headings to sort and I get those pesky square bullets on the side. Is there a way that I can pass field parameters without using SearchView?

Thanks!

Subject: Restricting documents that appear in a view

Personalized views are always a problem. I can think of two ways of approaching this. First, put an embedded view on a form and use Show Single Category to restrict view contents to a subset. The second option is that you could abandon Notes objects for display. Instead, handle it all in a LotusScript agent, using Print statements to send appropriate HTML back to the browser. You’ll have to handle all the formatting and so on yourself, but it will give you tremendous flexibility.
