Slice by Current View

I know dynamic slices are possible based upon user input, but can data be sliced by view name without forcing an app refresh? It appears that the slice is performed at runtime, and not again afterward?

 

 

[Status] = CONTEXT(โ€œViewโ€)

 

 

Something like this would be nice and clean, as the name of the view matches the [Status] of the data I want to filter.

If not, is there another clever way around it that doesn't involve a laundry-list of slices?

Slices are updated every time the data is changed.  The are like App Formulas in that regard.

A view can only use one slice and the slice cannot reference which view its on.  This is because you can reference the slice from anywhere (bots, columns, actions etc) and just just views.

Post what your specifically trying to do.

I was trying to make a neat solution that would display different data in multiple screens using the current view name as the key for the slice.

As you say, the slice is only update when the data changes, and the only way I can do that is by refreshing the app on click - which feels a bit overkill. 

I just made a bunch of slices instead lol
