Preparing shows all orders we need to fulfill and preparing today shows the all the orders we need to fulfill TODAY. We would switch between looking at both views quite a bit, previously we were using the search & filter bar in “Preparing” to filter down the items we needed, but that was taking up too much time so we just built a new slice with the view
However, now it can be a little confusing (and takes up too much space) on the menu bar. My question is, there there a way to maintain having just one view (Preparing) and then having a button that either:
Automatically switches to the “Today” view OR automatically filters to reveal only the data we need to see?
Assuming your app has something like a Users table, add a Yes/No column (e.g., [Today Filter]) there and an action that toggles its value for the current user. Then, in the single view’s slice incorporate a reference to that column’s value–e.g.,
See actions–specifically, “Data: set the value of some columns in this row” and, if you need users to select the action button from a view based on a table besides your Users table, then see also “Data: execute an action on a set of rows”.
