List Webpart, Document Library and Dynamic Filters

[MVCuser]

Hi All.

I am trying to use a List and Dynamic filter to display documents related to the topic.

The part i don't link (and i know it can cause confusion with most users) is that if the click on the category name - for example "DR & emergency process, it opens the items card

so we need to click the circle to see the list of pages

about 4 years ago, a colleague created something similar but that looks a lot better, and all i need to do is click on the category and it displays the list results (you can see the circle is not even there)

I can see that on the Filter list a different view was created, but even though i try and try, and even when i copy paste the format - I cannot replicate.

is this even possible or things changed that much in the last few years?

thank you

Hello @MVCuser 

it's looks like an custom development from your colleague. And yes, the time is running and things will be change.

Another good solution is to use PnP Modern Search WebParts, you can build search based solutions with filters or connecting results webparts together. You can see and download PnP Modern Search here: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-filters/

Thank you Dave, Yes, it is a custom view, I copied the code (JASON) but it does not work.
The search is good, but would not work for this, since you will need to have a key word or know what you are searching for.
Using the filters as done by my colleague will allow you to filter one list, based on another list.

thanks anyways for your help.

Hello @MVCuser

that's not true. 

With the PnP Modern Search WebParts you can...

1. Search a term (Search Box) https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-box/ 

2. You can use filters based on your search results, like in your case (Search Filters) https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/usage/search-filters/ 

3. Or you can connect more then one Search Results WebPart https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/scenarios/Connect-to-a-search-results-webpart/

Hi @DaveMehr365 thank you for the links. appreciate all the info.

I do have quite a few pages with PnP searches, but in my case (and i might be doing something wrong) the filters only work after i enter a key word on the search box. Is there a way to change that?

Thank you again for your help.

Hello @MVCuser 

you can define a default value on page 3 from the PnP Results WebPart:
