Hi Brian,
In my statements github repository [1] I am using Apache Isis v1.16.2, in
this there are many view model I am using as dashboard and I think it is
preferred way to manage bulk actions, search/filter, etc. at view model
level.
Under this repo you will find ManageTransactionDashboard view model that
has below capabilities
1) It shows list of statement source on left side, transaction filter area
on right top and transactions grid on right bottom
2) Transactions panel as below actions
a) Add Expense - this action is used for adding expense entry to
transaction
b) Add Income - this action is used for adding income entry to
transactions
a) Filter - this action shows a popup with filter criteria like text
field, drop downs, date range, amount range, etc.
a) Update category - this is bulk action which shows a popup with a
field that shows all selected transactions and two drop down for category
and sub-category
3) See screenshot of manage transaction dashboard at [2]
4) See screenshot of manage transaction dashboard with filter at [3]
5) See screenshot of bulk action at [4]
6) One of the problem for filter to work correctly is that ID for view
models are regenerated every-time and hence you will need to make use of
HintIdProvider interface
7) In ManageTransactionDashboard I have used TransactionFilter object to
record filter provided by user and converting it to string for usage as ID
of the view model; this is because logically my view model is attached to
filter specified by user
I hope this will help.
Thanks,
Jayesh
