How to filter tables based on the text dynamically?

[Jyoti Lahoti]

I want to create a table in which one column is a link and I want to filter another table if I click on that link using the text of that link.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Jyoti Lahoti ,

Maybe our app will be helpful - Table Filter and Charts for Confluence.

You'll be able to filter your tables on the fly or set a predefined filtering panels for your colleagues.

The source table:

Filtering on the fly:

Filtering using the panel:

And you may reuse your source table with the help of the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros and created several filter views based on the same data.

Thank you for your response.

Actually we have requirement where we have to redirect from one table to other.

Example: I have list of applications and each application has multiple artifacts. So if I click on one application then I should be able to redirect to the artifact associated with that application. As I have 100's of application It is not possible to create one page for the artifacts associated with that application. It would be like creating 100 pages

Instead of table is there anything else I can use like list or anything.

I am not sure what to use.

You know, the first thought is indeed to create a separate page for every application (its name should match the application name). 

Then you'll be able to keep your artifacts in a table on the corresponding page. Each table should be wrapped into the Table Excerpt macro (the macro works similar to the Page Properties macro but collects multiple-row tables as well).

On the parent page you collect your artifacts into one big table and show the page title that is equal to your application name. The title is shown as a link, so you'll be able to filter the required data, find the corresponding link, click on it and go to the page with your artifacts and other useful information.

Our customers use smth like this while handling, for example, product requirements and revisions.

I'll get back here if something better comes to my mind.
