You can link views together so that the contents of one view or form is filtered based on item(s) selected in a different view, referred to as a "Driver View". This facilitates linking such as selecting a Business in one grid view (Driving View) and having a list of Contacts display in a second grid view as illustrated here:
Setting up Links Between Two Views
A grid view will be automatically a driving view if any of the filter expressions in a second view reference the view first by name.
To make a view dependent upon the driving view, set up a Filter which uses at least one condition with an expression containing the driving view's name. e.g. Business. An example condition expression is shown below, Name is an Attribute on the driving view:
AccountNum equals ACCTS.AccountNumber
Tip
A view filter can be setup automatically by dragging any attribute header from one view onto a second view. The first view will become the driving view.
Setting up Links Between a View and Form
Grid views can be used to filter the content displayed on a form, as illustrated by the screenshot below.
This is setup by dragging the header for the attribute UID* from the view onto the desired form. This automatically setups up a background filter on the dashboard element.
