In the All Groups resource I would like to filter a view to show only a single group, is this possible?
bobmarley Or... could you use the "All Nodes" resource, which cascades similarly to the "All Groups" resource... And then just filter on a custom property? (Custom property being the key value which designates a group?) That resource is already built, and ready to go...
bobmarley I presume you want to filter on the actual resource, but is applying a page limitation of "Single Group" an option?
So I would like to make a copy of the 'All Groups' frame and then filter the copy to only show a single group.
The options under 'Edit' are shown below.
View Mode: has these options, Root Level Groups, Flat, All Groups
Group By: None, Status
Order By: Name, Status
I was hoping View Mode could also have Group abc, Group def, etc.
Any way to create something similar using Groups?
bobmarley In short, no, I don't think so. You can, however, take the filter portion of a different resource, and piece together something that could work. But that would definitely require some coding experience. There are plenty of examples on Thwack, of users building these, but I do not yet posses the knowledge to do so myself... Otherwise, I would build it for you. I don't really have a bunch of free time, but I will start poking around at some options. Please don't hold your breath on my account, as I doubt I would be able to come through in the end.
If you have the time, and certainly have the desire, check out some of the content from Gob. He has created some very cool, and extremely useful, resources, in the past. Many of those resources included a filter, exactly as you require. Unfortunately, I have not seen any new content from him in a while. But, his old stuff should still be a viable starting point, though, you may need to adjust file/folder paths.
In a totally different direction, you could probably get a simple SWQL script to display the same data for which you are looking. However, the display will be a completely different layout.
It would be nice if ALL resources, across ALL products, each had a standard filter. I'm pretty sure there are some feature requests out there for such things, but I reckon only time will tell.
Maybe we can #bumpsquad this thing until it lands on the radar for meech serena...
Thank you,

bobmarley For what it's worth, maybe this could hold you over until something better is created...
Using the "All Nodes - Tree (AJAX)" resource, on the filter line, you can utilize a SQL sub query within the WHERE clause, allowing you to pull nodes in from the groups table. (ContainerMemberSnapshots)
Now, this works fine with nodes, but I'm not sure what, if anything, you would have returned if you have other types within your group.
In my example, I am pulling all nodes within the group having ContainerID=30.
NodeID IN (SELECT EntityID FROM ContainerMemberSnapshots WHERE ContainerID=30)
That seemed to provide the same results as the All Groups resource, and even displays the results in a similar format.
I would vote that to be your best option. It gives you the closest results you are looking for, with the least amount of time spent.
Let me know if that works for you, please.
