Hi,
In Ignition Perspective, I need to create a device overview screen that displays a large number of devices (e.g., Device 1 to Device 500). I require a filtering feature so that if a user only wants to see Device 100, the remaining devices are hidden from view. How can I implement this visibility. It’s Possible in Ignition.
Sure, you can script any filtering you want. Bring the complete list of devices to a view custom property set to private. Then, on your table's props.data, use a property binding and script transform to implement your filter. You will probably want to use input fields for filter criteria that are bidirectionally bound to view custom properties. The filter script can access such criteria with self.view.custom.someFilterProp.
Experiment with native search and filter options within the Perspective table component.
When enabled, filtering features have a resemblance to that of Excel. Additionally, there’s an overall search bar which matches any value from any column. It’s pretty powerful on its own.
Always try to use built-in features first, then resort to scripting if you cannot meet your goal.
There will be a learning curve getting the component to look-and-feel how you’d like. Take a stab at it, and post a screenshot here with any questions.
