Only show when using a slice

[Austin]

I want a handful of my virtual columns to only display when using a certain slice, do I have to use 2 slices with custom sets of columns or can I do this from my show if formula with only 1 slice?
(Would rather do it in show if should that be possible)

A column’s Show_If isn’t aware of the underlying slice, so you’d have to base the expression on something else, like the view name (CONTEXT("View"))

Unfortunate
CONTEXT(“TABLE”) feature request

Austin_Lambeth:

CONTEXT(“TABLE”) feature request

It already exists, but it returns the table, not the slice (when last I tested).

Hm…CONTEXT(“SLICE”) doesn’t make a ton of sense since there might not be a slice involved. Oh well, I’ll just deal with making sure my slice column list are correct.

Hi! I’m having the same problem and CONTEXT is not working with a slice.

[Steve]

How so? More details would be helpful.

As stated there is no Context(“Slice”) so you have to use a different methodology.

Hey Guys, i do have the same issue with Context(“Slice”)

Is there any way to use actionbutton JUST on filteredview (SLICE) of the App?

I have two views:

• “All Orders”
• and “All open Orders”
  at the moment and i would like to add Actionbutton just on the “Productdetailpage” i came from the Slice “All open Orders” to get back to it.

For The “All Orders” view it wasn´t a big deal to get back from “Productdetailpage” to this Primaryview.
But for the Slice-Productview i have no idea how to get this done.
I tried everything, as well copied the Detailview to a seperate-view (“Open Order Detailview”) which looks identical to the other Productview, just in case to have a seperate viewname, but this doen´t helped…

I tried following:
APP LINK TARGET:
LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW(“Alle offenen Bestellungen”,[Status]=“offen”)

BEHAVIOR CONDITION:
CONTEXT(“view”)=“Alle offenen Bestellungen_Detail”

for example…

Thank you very much!
