Hi,

Will it be possible to filter the content of a subform based on the date in the parent form ?

Yes, subforms support filtering. I'll share an example shortly.

Hello Yves,

There is a function in nuBuilder that lets you add filters to one or more columns in a subform. Let's assume that your subform is called sf_one and you wish to filter on columns one_date and one_patient.

You can add this JavaScript to the custom edit code and it should do the job for you.

Code: Select all

var sfFilterSpecs = {};

sfFilterSpecs['sf_one'] = {
    	'one_date': { type: 'select', blank: false } ,
	'one_patient': { type: 'search', datalist: true, blank: true   }   	
};

nuSubformAddFilter(sfFilterSpecs);
In this example, the date filter will offer every unique date in a select object. The patient search will be in a text object with datalist completion.

I hope this helps.

Neil
