Hi there,

I have created a smartview and it is made specifically to validate some data, one by one. I would like to only display it inside a specific segment already filtered. But not in the full list of data and not in the related data lists.

Is it possible?

thanks

Hey @jdmry, and welcome to our community 👋

Sadly, this is currently not possible. I’ll push your request to our product board.

Even if it’s far from being perfect, a possible workaround would be to create a specific collection for this purpose.

For example, for a collection A:

- Duplicate your collection of the agent side (A & AForSegment, using the same table to get data)
- Display it on forestadmin, then create your segment on AForSegment
- Restrict the access of the collection to “Segment only” (Accessible in the collection configuration settings)
- Set your Smart view on “AForSegment”

Let me know if that helps 🙏

that sounds like a plan indeed, thanks for the workaround I’ll try!  
is there somewhere a clear documentation of all the possibilities of the node agent? I find it difficult to find … thanks
