This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app
However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.
Sometimes you need to share a link with someone which shows a subset of the data from the form
The easiest way to do that is to user built-in functionality which employs a "special" parameter.
Parameter name is: cf_search_
followed by the form name you would like the filter to be applied on.
Let's consider the following link:
http://localhost:1990/confluence/display/ds/my+projects?cf_search_MyForm=title:test
The page "My Projects" has a simple TableView which lists all the projects from the form "MyForm". The form has a field named "title"
And this link will filter the TableView showing only projects which has "test" in their titles.
The filter itself looks like this (extracted from the request URL):
title:test
You can have much more complex filters, as the parameter expects the same syntax as documented here: ConfiForms Filters
NB! Since version 2.0.12 you can use "cf_force=true" parameter to ensure ONLY the filter from the URL is applied on the ConfiForms View (overriding completely default filters defined by the view)
Take a look at this link, if you experience troubles getting Confluence editor to accept the link you are trying to create (especially when used inside the IFTTT's or ListView/CalendarView macros)
