Display Tags for filtering in DataSet Views

Mason_Woessner · June 9, 2023, 1:11pm

Introduction

I’d like the ability to use an advanced SQL filter on the DataSet View widget to be able to leverage tags applied to that display.

User Story

A user has a single layout that they’d like to distribute to multiple clients. This layout uses a dataset view to display a menu category. In the incoming dataset we have a field that identifies the store that record applies to. We then tag the displays located in that store with the appropriate tag, and use that tag in the advanced SQL filter for the dataset view widget.

Thanks for following up here - cross linking the github issue (seeing as there is one)

enhancement

Maybe i'm missing how to do this -- I see we can filter by DisplayID -- but the …incoming dataset has no awareness of DisplayID -- but we do have store locations. What I'm looking to do is have one layout, which filters and displays only rows that match a "store number" attribute in the data set -- based on a named-tag for the display its rendering on. So an example would be a display with tag "store: 1256" -- and in the filter for the dataset view i'd like to be able to include in the SQL something like [tag=store:1256] or the like to further filter the data set at the player level. Am I missing something or is this feature not present currently?
