Filtering records by VC

Submitted by Tristan Bantock on

It would be incredibly useful to have a more advanced means of filtering records by VC in the verification grid apart from the existing means of filtering based on a single VC.

I now need to exclude VCs from the grid to avoid stepping on the toes of certain VC recorders and I know others are in this situation as well.

I realise that a way of excluding VCs from the grid might be difficult to implement, but could VC be made a sortable column, so that records appear in the grid in VC order? This would make the problem easier.

Many thanks

Tristan

You can currently Create a filter... > Where > Vice county... > add by name all the VCs you wish to include > Apply and then save the filter by name, with or without other criteria. For example:

Image removed.

Load the saved filter to apply it again quickly. You can then use the column-header filters on top to refine the grid further.

I hope this helps.

It would be easier to exclude, rather than include, as there's only one VC (or perhaps the county covers 2 VC actually...) to exclude out of the whole of the rest of the UK.

Thanks David, I realise this can be done in way you describe, but it's not very practical if you want to exclude one or two VCs to build a filter based on the remaining 110 or so. Such a filter would also omit  records from Ireland I think.

As Rockwolf says, a way of excluding VCs from the grid would be really helpful. Failing this, a button which adds all VCs (including Ireland) to the list when building a filter would be a workaround
