RE: [flexcoders] One data set, multiple DataGrids/views- best approach?

[Tracy Spratt]

Could you use e4x xml as the master data, then use the node selection sepressions to return the xml or XMLList you want, and put that data subset into an XMLListCollection to take advantage of the cllection API?   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 11:30 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] One data set, multiple DataGrids/views- best approach?   In an upcoming project I will need to provide multiple views of the same data, most likely in the form of an XMLListCollection, in multiple DataGrids. The scenario is that I will have a large master set of data, but depending on which screen you are on you will only see the appropriate parts of the data (proposed documents, generated documents, approved documents, etc). I will also be using some compound filterFunctions, so that on the screen displaying only the approved documents, the user can additionally filter by document type, etc. My question, finally, is what is the best way to approach this? I have toyed with the idea of making a copy of the data for each screen, but that seems error prone and hackish as the data will be updating while the application is being used. Should I change the filterFunction being used when the user switches screens so I essentially have one DataGrid shared between screens and the 'multiple views' is faked? Should I break the data into pieces? Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.
