I'm working on a custom tab in Infomaker and am wondering how to add a filtering text box, much like the new List Description Search filter in the v9 Tessitura client? I see in the IM docs how to add a filter button that invokes the IM "specify filter" dialog box, but that's not quite the same. Thanks for any suggestions!

Chris, there is no way to do that in a custom screen. The filter capability is all done in PowerBuilder code, which can’t be accessed in Infomaker.
Repeat after me: “This is a great Tessitura Next Generation idea”

Keep these thoughts in mind for the Next Generation forums!

Bummer! The filter button is so close, users just need some of its innards hidden away by the text box.
Thanks.
Well actually if you use a web page as custom screen instead of Infomaker , you can code up this functionality.
Jon, good clarification here…this can’t be done in an Infomaker custom screen. In a browser based screen, you’re really only limited by your imagination, time, and technical prowess.

An SSRS tab may be a future development, but it's IM for us, for now. Thanks for the replies, guys.
I don't mean an SSRS report. You can create a web page that does this.

Hmm. What sort of web page are you thinking of? ASP?
Here is an example of a web page used for a custom screen.
Yes an ASP page. We have several now. When going the web page route you can do a whole lot more.

Very cool. Thanks for the screenshot. Would you be willing to let me peek at that code? I'm sure I can find lots of ASP stuff in the web, but I'd love to see a Tessitura-related sample.
Sure you can get it off footprints it is solution #266. It is call Call Log Custom Screen (Shared Reports).
I'm checking it out now. Very cool. Thanks!
Chris, Let me know if you need any assitance with coding something up.
