Filtering upcoming events on Communication sites?
You cant filter the view on Location, but you can on Category. I would suggest using this in addition to location to create your filtered views. You can type anything in as a new catogory when you create an event, it'll then be available in the category filter for the part.
Hi Steven Collier, thanks for your feedback and that works, eg, I can filter on all category = conserts. However, back to my example, then I would have to do it the way around then to create one page for the different activities, but from a "audience" point of view, if they are going to one certain part of the city where there will be several activites they would then have to go to the different activities pages and search for the location. Of course, I am problematizing this now, as for instance each location could just write their program on each page, or create a queery, or whatnot.
My point is that it would be nice with more options for filtering in addition to the standard name of list/category/date.The possibility to filter items with a few tags is part of the SharePoint Magic! ;-) Could we put this on a wishlist somewhere somehow, please?
Sorry I don't understand. Use Category to represent location, not that it's a concert or whatever. The category field is just metadata that can be used as a filter, in your example the only thing you wanted to filter by was where it was, so I would use Category for that.

Hi Steven Collier,
Yes, I could use the category field for location, and you are right for the example above. Perhaps this would suffice in most cases...
However, just to play with the thought a little bit more...if I am arranging an event in a city, let's say the Contosa City 150 years anniversary, and there would be concerts, exhibitions, games and other activities throughout the city and I wanted to show all concerts and games, but not exhibitions, at the respective locations which means I would need two category groups, one for locations and one for type of activity. Any ideas about this?
