Find all records associated with a VTB label across multiple boards

[DylanBlumenberg]

Hey everyone, we are working more with Visual Task Boards and had a bit of a strange ask. 

We want to have a similar label across multiple boards and find any record associated with that label string across all boards. 

For example, have board 1 and 2, both with a label named 'Systems' and be able to look at a list view that will show all records across board 1 and 2 that have the label of 'Systems". 

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

It's not super clean, but you can go label.list and then find your specific label (Systems), open that record, and there'll be a related list called Label Entries (label_entry.list). This will give you a list of everything with that label. You might have to get creative to get all of the information you want though.

Thanks for the reply JC. In looking at that more, I'm seeing that the Label Entries are then tied to the specific task via a target field which displays as a URL. I think that's what's preventing us from going deeper into that relationship since the target can't be dot walked. 

The target can also either link directly to a task like a RITM or link to a Visual Task Board Card, which itself links to a PTSK. Strange design but I guess we'll just live with what we have.

Yeah unfortunately I wasn't able to dot-walk any deeper. I tried to using SN Utils and adding dot-walked field in the Personalize List pop-up... but had no success. Not sure if it'll work, but might be worth trying Configure > List Layout and dot-walking from there.
