Personalization for Filter Bar (`Input`, `MultiInput` fields)

[sz3lbi]

Hi, I have a requirement to create an application consisting of, among others, a filter bar and a grid table. I would also like to have page wide Variant Management.

To do the above, I have registered this table with Metadata Helper containing all columns and two controllers: for selection and sorting (because as far as I understand, this type of table doesn't support grouping at all).

Now I want the Variant Management I have in the page to be able to save the personalization for the filter bar as well. There, the SelectionController would be used as for the table, since controls can be hidden, but I also want to save the values for Inputs or tokens for Multi Inputs. Is it possible to implement this with the p13n engine? Do I need to implement my own controller (since none of the selection/sort/group controllers can handle the above)? If so, could you please guide me on how to do this or maybe even provide some sample code?

Unfortunately, I am not able to use the Smart Controls that have this functionality implemented.

The controls I am using are:

• sap.ui.fl.variants.VariantManagement,
• sap.ui.comp.filterbar.FilterBar,
• sap.ui.table.Table (Grid Table).

Hi!

I'd suggest using the sap.ui.mdc.FilterBar instead of the sap.ui.comp.filterbar.FilterBar. The sap.ui.comp.filterbar.FilterBar is currently not enabled to work with the fl.variants.VariantManagement

@koeppel, thank you for the tip! I didn't have much time earlier to check out this control, but I managed to, and it works as expected and integrates really well with the personalization layer.
Is there a built-in way, though, to convert the conditions of sap.ui.mdc.FilterField to sap.ui.model.Filter (and its sap.ui.model.FilterOperator), so that I can use those conditions when querying the OData?
