Display list filtered by a fixed filter in webpart in Sharepoint365
Hello everyone,
please help me out, as I am starting to despair. Here’s what I am trying to do:
I have a List of processes and a separate List of all process steps of all processes. I am using a lookup field to connect those steps to their respective process. For easier use, I want to create a SharePoint page for each process, showing, among other things, a list of the steps of this specific process.
Seems straightforward but, for now, I haven’t found a way to create this filtered view on the List of steps in an embed.
I’ve tried three ways:
1. Using the List web part, there seems to be no way to define a fixed filter.
2. Using a list view filtered by URL parameters embedded using the embed web part – technically works but looks ugly, as it doesn’t display only the list, but several control bars, which I can only remove in parts using JSON view formatting. The “?env=Embedded” parameter also seems to be doing nothing…
3. Creating a pre-defined list view in Lists and embedding this – also technically works but is a lot of manual work and there appears to be no way to filter a view on a hidden column, so I would have to display the name of the process as well which is redundant information.
My last resort would be creating a separate List for each process, but that seems a bit excessive and would massively hinder further extensions of the system.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Nils
