Kinetic Application Studio - Filter UserCode dropdown from another UserCode dropdown

[JaJuJo (Jay Johnson)]

In the Part screen, we currently have UD fields with text boxes for a material type (Aluminum, steel, etc) and a second box for indicating the specific alloy/temper of the material.

What I am trying to do is change these to ComboBoxes/Dropdowns containing lists of the possible options populated from UserCodes. I have this part working.

The problem is that I can’t seem to figure out how to filter the alloy dropdown to only show alloys applicable to the selected material type.

I’ve looked at some of the similar topics on here but couldn’t get this to work from what I saw there.

Also, just wanted to point out I’m fairly new to Kinetic and customization in general, so looking to know if this is even possible to do, and some direction on how to get it done.

Thanks.

This is done via the “Reusable Combo” set-up. You need to filter the second combobox by the value of the first…

In this example, I created a DataView called UD02_View which pulls in my data from UD02. This is where my customization is storing the final data.

I set the first drop down with binding to UD02_View.ShortChar19.

The Reusable Combo of the first drop down is being Filtered by the User Code “DWG_Source”.

My second combo is bound to ShortChar20… but in this case, you see my CodeTypeParam = whatever the value is from my ShortChar19.
