Hi everyone,

Is it possible to create a tree table in Ignition Perspective that behaves like a single table and allows filtering across all levels of the table? If anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate an example. Thanks in advance 🙂

Can you mock up an example (in Excel or pencil and paper) and post an image?

Do you mean something like this?:

I typically use the `subView` for this on the rows. I don't remember however if it is confined to not allow for the use of the same embedded view to be nested inside of itself like the actual `embeddedView` component is (If you wanted to just make a dynamic table component to embed)

This may not work for large amounts of nesting if the `subView` has the same limitations of the `embeddedView` component where more than 3 layers becomes problematic at times.

Hi am also looking for same solution but not able to create one in perspective. Is it possible for someone to share the idea or export of already built one that would be really helpful. @Benjamin_Furlani if there is possibility to share something.
