Controlling view type for child (REF data)

[ism]

Hello everybody😃

I have a question how to control the view type for the child records in the Parent-View.

Parent table has a Child table ref to the Parent table. 

In the Parent-detail-view,  I would like to control the view type of Related-Child shuch as Map, Deck, Table, etc.

How could we control the view type???

Thanks in advance🤗

You can configure "Child_inline" view.

Is it possible to create several "Child_inline" views and use each of them in different cases?

AFIK, you cannot.

You can create dashboard views and show different child views but controlling which dashboard to display based on the parent row you pick is not doable.

Out of curiosity, what is your logic to choose the correct view???

Thank you for your help!

My logic to chose the view is like this;

I have 4 tables

 "Apartments", "Floor Maps", "Equip Pins", "Equipment"

One Apartment has multiple related Floor Maps

One Equipment has multiple related Equip Pins on the Floor Maps

From the "Apartment" view, I would like to show "Floor Maps" in Deck view or Card view.

Feom the "Equipment" view,  I would like to show "Related Pins on "Floor Maps" in Table view.

Yes, use one Slice per view you need. Then change the [Related ...] column in both, the REF_ROWS() expression as well as the column config so that you point it to the Slice instead of the table. Then your children will be presented using the Slice' Inline view
