Can't choose two levels of a Product to see in the workbook

Answered
Jose Eduardo Almeida asked on January 23, 2024

Can't choose two levels of a Product to see in the workbook (see Step_01). 
If I want to see the values of a lower level and a higher level in workbook I have to drill down all the levels.
This procedure can take too much time to do this drill down of all the levels.
If I could choose two levels I would like to see just the two levels in the workbook without being necessary to perform the drill down of all levels.
Is there any way to do that without drill down?
 

  • We implement our own Custom Data Source API (Implement your own server) and We use multi level Hierarchies

Hello, Jose!

Thank you for your question.

Kindly note that Flexmonster only allows you to select a single hierarchy level and show all the levels below the chosen level. We recommend using folders (see mapping.folder property) instead of multilevel hierarchies to achieve the desired functionality. Using folders would allow you to group multiple fields into a single folder, similar to multilevel hierarchies, but you would also be able to select multiple specific fields instead of showing an entire hierarchy starting from a certain level. You are welcome to check the example: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/uynb1g0v/ 

Please let us know if this approach would work for you.

Best Regards,
Maksym

Hi Maksym,
is there any other way to do that using multi level hierarchy?
I can't change to use folder in my development at this moment

Hello, Jose!

Thank you for your reply.

Please note that selecting two levels of a multilevel hierarchy is currently not supported. However, creating folders is purely a client-side feature that does not require any additional development and can be achieved by changing the mapping configuration: 

mapping: {
"Country": {
folder: "Place"
},
"City": {
folder: "Place"
}
}

With this in mind, we believe that switching from multilevel hierarchies to folders may be a relatively simple solution for you.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Best Regards,
Maksym

Hi Maksym,
In our understanding we can not use folder because does not have the same behavior as an hierarchy.
Maybe this could be a new requirement for a future release.
