Hi Mikhail,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
You mentioned that
q=+{!parent which.. v='+text:hello +person:A'} +{!parent
which..v='+text:ciao +person:B'}
is the way to go. How would it look like precisely for the following
collection?
{
"id":1,
"_childDocuments_":
[
{"id":"1_1", "person":"Vai" , "time":"3:14", "msg":"Hello"},
{"id":"1_2", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"3:14", "msg":"Hello"},
{"id":"1_3", "person":"Vai" , "time":"3:15", "msg":"Coz
Mathias is working on another system- different screen."},
{"id":"1_4", "person":"Vai" , "time":"3:15", "msg":"It can
get annoying"},
{"id":"1_5", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"3:15", "msg":"Thank
you. this is very nice of you"},
{"id":"1_6", "person":"Vai" , "time":"3:16", "msg":"ciao"},
{"id":"1_7", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"3:16", "msg":"ciao"}
]
},
{
"id":2,
"_childDocuments_":
[
{"id":"2_1", "person":"Vai" , "time":"4:14", "msg":"Hello"},
{"id":"2_2", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"4:14", "msg":"IBM
Watson"},
{"id":"2_3", "person":"Vai" , "time":"4:15", "msg":"need to
retain content"},
{"id":"2_4", "person":"Vai" , "time":"4:15", "msg":"It can
get annoying"},
{"id":"2_5", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"4:15", "msg":"You can
make all your meetings more access"},
{"id":"2_6", "person":"Vai" , "time":"4:16", "msg":"Make
every meeting a Skype meeting"},
{"id":"2_7", "person":"Arturas" , "time":"4:16", "msg":"ciao"}
]
}
Cheers,
Arturas
