View Examples

Events in Series

This view example displays a list of Events which are part of a Series.

Difficulty: Advanced

Purpose: To Show the Events from a Series.

Page: Events

Filters

Event In Specific Series

The following SQL must be altered and used for the criteria. Replace the Event_ID of one of the Events in the Series:

Events.Event_ID IN (SELECT SR1.Record_ID   
FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR1 WHERE Sequence_ID IN   
(SELECT SR2.Sequence_ID FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR2    
WHERE SR2.Table_Name = 'Events' AND SR2.Record_ID = 0 ))
Tip: For immediate use, find an Event_ID, open Advanced Search, paste the SQL in the criteria with the Event_ID. Leave fields empty.

Events In Any Series

To list Events that are part of any Series, use the following criteria:

Events.Event_ID IN (SELECT SR.Record_ID  FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR WHERE SR.Table_Name = 'Events')
Tip: You could combine this with additional criteria to narrow down the list to current or Future Events to make it more useful.

Events In Selected Series

This variation uses the default Selection to determine which Series to return. To use, select an Event (leave it unsaved so it is the default Selection) and choose the View from the list. You will get a list of Events in the Series matching your Selection:

Events.Event_ID IN(SELECT SR1.Record_ID  FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR1 WHERE Sequence_ID IN    (SELECT SR2.Sequence_ID FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR2      WHERE SR2.Table_Name = 'Events' AND SR2.Record_ID IN        (SELECT SR.Record_ID FROM dp_Selections S JOIN dp_Selected_Records SR ON S.Selection_ID = SR.Selection_ID        WHERE User_ID = dp_UserID AND Selection_Name = 'dp_Default'        AND Page_ID =          (SELECT TOP 1 P.Page_ID FROM dp_Pages P WHERE P.Display_Name = 'Events' AND P.Filter_Clause IS NULL)        )    ))
Note: You could simplify this by hard-coding the Page ID for your Events page (replace the last select statement and parentheses with an ID).

Fields

Series ID

To add the Series ID to the view as a field, you can use the following SQL:

(SELECT SR.Sequence_ID FROM dp_Sequence_Records SR WHERE SR.Table_Name = 'Events' AND SR.Record_ID = Events.Event_ID) AS [Series ID]
