Re: Restricting a query
Jarosz Actually you don’t need to build your own query editor. All you actually need to do is make sure you wrap any calls to the query editor(and to any query in general) so you can apply to any query a client filter > On 31 Jul 2017, at 19:38, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Jarosz, > For that you'll want to build your own query editor.

Re: Restricting a query
RE> I have a table which contains records for 10 different clients. I'd like to give a client the ability to search the table for only his records and not be able to see any of the other clients' records. Is it possible to do this using the standard 4D Query editor by always applying an additional search criteria eg clientID=xxx? Or do I need to build my own custom query editor? I'm using 4D 15.4. Michael, I *wish* you could use this with Views, but today Views only support SQL. Please vote for my feature request (when you open the request, you'll see a row of stars - click on the starts to give the request a 1-star, 2-star, or preferably 4-star rating). This feature requests asks that since views are virtual tables, to allow all 4D query commands to point to the view as if it were a table: http://forums.4d.com/Post/EN/13716634/1/13716635#13716635 In the meantime, you can certainly add a QUERY SELECTION line after calling the 4D query editor.

Re: Restricting a query
You can also filter BEFORE query. for simplicity: Query([table];[table]client_ID = $Current_Client_ID) Query selection([table]) This will open 4D's query editor, and apply the query the user does to the selection you created before hand.

Re: Restricting a query
I'll take it as read that you have a solid reason for commingling the data from your various clients. Something I've seen and like too is along the lines of Filter_AfterSearch(->[Table]) So, after *any* search, you run a filter against the table. This can be used for all sorts of things: -- Exclude records marked 'deleted' -- Filter records based on the user's role. A Manager might see more records than a Floor_Worker (or the other way around.) -- Filter by some kind of location setting. -- What you were talking about. You can implement the Filter_AfterSearch method however you like, I've regularly seen big case statements with hooks for tables with special filter rules. There are more involved ways, but a "case of" is an easy way to start and experiment. It's also easy in Filter_AfterSearch to check that the table has a selection before you worry about filtering it. If you use the standard query editor, then you need code to bring up the editor which is immediately followed by a call to Filter_AfterSearch. That should do it. Just remember to do the same with your custom queries too so that you don't leak data from other customers. The good part is that you still just need the one line of code: Filter_AfterSearch(->[Table]) ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: Restricting a query
Jarosz, For that you'll want to build your own query editor. To achieve that sort of separation of data you'll need to be careful that all queries and selections created by relations are segregated by client.

Restricting a query
I have a table which contains records for 10 different clients. I'd like to give a client the ability to search the table for only his records and not be able to see any of the other clients' records. Is it possible to do this using the standard 4D Query editor by always applying an additional search criteria eg clientID=xxx? Or do I need to build my own custom query editor? I'm using 4D 15.4. I'd be interested to hear how others have approached this...
