Passing additional filter parameters when creating a new navigation link


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Hi,

 

I’m trying to create a navigation link from for example customer order lines to inventory part availability planning and want to add some additional filters apart from the partno parameter that is passed. Only showing sites with the part in stock would be great but when trying to add that condition, the validation of the navigation filter fails. Is there a way to make this work?

Kind regards
Kristian

Hi ​@krisande,

It looks like a bug with Navigation Filter validation (Checked in 24R1)

 

However, In the edit key value pairs, I did a little trick and it worked :)

 

Hope it helps you too!

Hi,

As far as I know, navigation filters currently only support the "eq" (equals) operator, and it seems we can't use static values directly. I haven't come across any examples where operators other than "eq" are used in this context, though I agree it would be a useful feature. If there were support for more operators, it would open the door to more flexible filtering—like comparing against static values.

That said, I do have a possible workaround! While it may not be the perfect solution you're looking for, have you tried using External Navigation Links instead? Here's an example:

…../main/ifsapplications/web/page/InventoryPartAvailabilityPlanning/Form;$filter=PartNo eq $[PartNo] and OnhandQty ne 0  


Would love to hear if anyone has found other creative approaches! Let me know if you have questions about this workaround.



Thanks,
Avindu

Hi ​@dsj,

This was a nice trick! In 23R2 I had to add extra parentheses around all the parameters but it seems to work fine now.

Thank you!
Kristian
