Loading File Viewer and Tag Viewer UI with preset filters
Solved!
The File Viewer and Tag Viewer support filtering by properties. However, as far as I can tell, the user must manually type in the filter values every time.
Is there a way to load the File Viewer or Tag Viewer web UIs, with filters already in-place? (For example, with a URL query string, perhaps? http://localhost/#fileviewer?Extension=tdms&minionId=cRIO1 )
You can however easily see the tags for a specific system from the systems detail page via a URL with something like the following.
https://localhost/#systemsmanagement/system/NI_cRIO-9042--SN-01E10AB8--MAC-00-80-2F-24-FB-CE/health

Yes, with the File Viewer when you configure a filter it does change the URL, but they can be very long like below. Once you have a filter you want you can simply bookmark it with your browser and then use that link to get back to that view at any time.
Perfect -- that's exactly what I need, thanks!
I should have noticed the URL change; I saw that the Tag Viewer's filter doesn't change the URL and assumed that the File Viewer behaved the same way.
The long URL isn't an issue as I will programmatically construct the URL query string in my WebVI.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case for the tag viewer, however you may be able to create a dashboard and use the various tiles to show the tags you use the most often.
Understood.
How easy or hard would it be for NI to implement a similar system in the Tag Viewer?
