I have webpart connection using a list of names to filter a custom list containing a column of those same names. However, once I've selected a name to filter, I'm unable to unfilter to show the entire list. I have tried using a custom list with a People and Groups column and creating a contact list and just list with the names in a column of text. I can make all the connections and filter fine, but unable to unfilter. Please advise. Thanks in advance everyone! Hi there,

I do have the same question as Patrice above regarding how to have a 'multiple selection' filtering. Have you come across a solution since this post? Thanks, Greg Mark,

As you suggested, however, you can chain web parts together. Let me see if I can include this as an example in the dashboards demo on Tuesday. -- Mark Patrice – Out of the box, no, connections don’t allow multiple choice.

We want users to be able to filter News Announcements by "category" but we want them to be able to pick more than one category at a time, and remove the filter to show all news items. Would chaining make this possible? I tried a choice filter on the announcements Category column and enabled multiple selections, but it only passes the first value. In what situations or web parts does the "allow multiple selections" even work? Thanks, Patrice Mark,

However, you can manage the view in the web part that is being driven. When you insert the web part, choose to modify it and choose to edit the current view in configuration panel. That might give you what you are looking for. Regards, Mark Eskil – In the interface provided there is no way to set a default. However, you can manage the view in the web part that is being driven.

Is it possible to specify a default selected value in the "Types of documents" web part? In case yes, how? Thanks and regards, Eskil Hi Mark,

One is a list of projects and it has a column that lists the roles needed for each project. The column is populated via a multiple choice checkbox, so typical data would be “Project Mgr; Architect; Engineer”. My second list contains employees who need additional project work. This list has a role column similar to the first, expect that it’s a single selection from the same selection, so typical data would be “Project Mgr” OR “Architect” OR “Engineer”. I’d like to be able to use the project list to filter the employee list (i.e. show me all employees who’s role matches any of the roles needed for a particular project. Does anyone know a way of doing this? I was able to do the reverse (show me all projects that need a role of Engineer), but I’m struggling with this part. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
