Dynamically Filter Records in Datalist Attachment

Tip
iconfalse
English
You can use Hash Variable & Datalist Filter's URL request parameter in the email attachment Files URL path to dynamically filter records in the datalist attachment.



Using the default Expenses Claims app as an example:

Use Case Scenario : Dynamically filter the records in My Inbox list to only show expenses claims that is submitted by the current logged in user, as a PDF attachment in email tool.

The URL path to download a PDF format of My Inbox list without any filtering looks like: 
http://localhost:8080/jw/web/userview/expenseclaim/home/_/myin?6578706f7274=1&d-944469-e=5

Now if we want to filter the results in the datalist attachment via "Submit By" datalist filter, first we need to determine the datalist filter's URL request parameter in the filter's properties, which is d-944469-fn_claimant in this case.

Then, we can now append the filter's url request parameter along with its value or hash variable to the URL path, so the URL path should now look like:
http://localhost:8080/jw/web/userview/expenseclaim/home/_/myin?6578706f7274=1&d-944469-e=5&d-944469-fn_claimant=#currentUser.username#
