Library filter

[former_member758955]

Hello again,
if I set a filter with roles like in the exapmle image

When I activate it its only showing the projects connected to the role in Producer.

With the settings I assume to get a prefiltered library view just to show me only the corresponding projects.

But when I activate the filter and start the local view (with the corresponding filter) it is always showing all of the content and not the the role specific content. What might be the reason for that?

Filters don't work in the cloud edition (even though the functionality is kind of there, with library=libraryFLT_* in the URL - like you have in one of your screenshots). Still waiting for SAP to provide that functionality!

But I thought it should work in the local preview. I know that in the Manager interface it won´t work but it should work for web servers or for other locations

"I thought it should work...". LOL. Welcome to SAP!

But what are you trying to achieve? There may be an alternative way.

I thought it is possible to deploy different language variants to different web servers with the option using the custom location area in Producer so that you won´t need different workareas and you can store and deploy everything in one workarea using the benefit of filters

OK, well if you are publishing to separate Web Servers, sure, that will work. When you publish, just make sure you select your language filter in the Use Filter field of the Publish Object dialog box. But that will create a standalone Trainer.

If you want to keep all content within SAP Enable Now, and you're running a cloud version, you'll basically have to build out separate language-specific structures in your Workarea, and point users to the relevant one of these as appropriate. \

Sure, being able to use a Filter would be much more convenient (via the Generate prefiltered library with filtewr option), but like I say, SAP haven't delivered that for cloud yet (the same functionality is supposed to provide the ability for users to select a predefined filter in the Trainer - see the Use filter in unfiltered library and Use filter in prefiltered library settings). I know it was in plan at one point, but I don't know what the current status is. Maybe someone from SAP could comment?
