Hierarchical Portlet - auto expand first level?

[Anon Anon]

Hi,

 

we have created a hierarchical portlet on our Clarity 13.2 environment to provide the currently logged in user relevant information about the future planning:

- 1. Level: resource information like aggregated allocation, availability, utilistaion for the filtered time period

  - 2. Level: all projects where the resource is allocated for the filtered time period (Project Allocation)

    - 3. Level: all tasks where the resource is assigned and has a defined ETC in the filtered time period

 

Because of the fact that the user always wants to drill down to see on which projects he or she has to work I am asking if there is a way to automatically expand the hierarchy to level 2 = project level? I know that there is an auto expand option in the portlet configuration. But this would also expand all tasks. I assume that this has to be done in the query. While I was writing this post I got the idea that I could add another paramter to the query just with 1 and 0 to enable or disable the 3rd level and enabling the auto expand option. I will test it. But possibly you have also other ideas without this workaround.

 

Thanks.

Just wondering if you start your hierarchy at the second level.

Hi,

 

it worked to enable or disable a specific level at all. So by configuring auto expand and setting the parameter to level 2 only resources (level 1) and projects (level 2) will be shown. By setting it to level 3 I also see all assigned tasks. But this is not really the solution I was searching for because depending on the filter parameter I will either see all or no task assignments. The perfect solution would be to see by default all records from level 1 and 2 and can drill down to specific level 3 items. If you just have a few records then its fine.

 

But I guess that there is no solution for this.
