Workspace and Views

[MichaelZischeck]

Interesting thing:

On the old platform you can use a view to display different fields in a form and/or list

Until now I believed: on workspace: you only have the workspace view (as defined in the page properties sys_ux_page_property)

Now I figured: you can display views using different views in the sys_ux_list.

Unfortunately the defined view in sys_ux_list is not honored when opening the record.

BUT (this is what I finally figured out), it IS possible to add /params/views/viewname to honor a view (ie. show different fields etc.)

I have, more than, one use case where i'd like to give a user the "choice" to switch a view. 

I know I could achiev this somehow by adding to the URL /params/views/viewname.

but wouldn't it be nice, if the view given to the  sys_ux_list would be honored?

how do you guys deal with such issues? do you have solutions?

best regards

Michael

I forgot to mention: I tried view rule, very basic.. didn't seem to apply...

very simple condition based upon field value. view rule does not kick in

[MichaelZischeck]

got it working in the meantime... there are 2 different kinds of view rules:

sysrule_view_workspace (here one NEEDs to add the workspace configuration at the bottom)

and

sysrule_view

@MichaelZischeck So if on native UI you pass the sysparm_view=workspace it will open the form in workspace view(not actual workspace)

Same way in the workspace if you pass the view in url , where ever the page is configured to accept view (defined in UI builder), it will open the form in same view as defined in url.

I dont believe we still have an option to change view from workspace manually.

Please mark the answer correct/helpful accordingly.
