Views Integration Does Not Include Filtering on Contact Group Membership?
November 09, 2009, 07:24:12 am
First off, the Views integration is great. It's nice to use a familiar tool to pull data from Civi.

I was trying to filter a contact list with their being a member of a Civi "Group" (I'm not talking OG groups at all). But in Views filtering widget when I select "CiviCRM Contact" --> none of the following choices include the contacts group status. :(

The use case: We have an "intake form" that uses a Civi profile with custom fields. Upon filling out the form, the person is added to a CiviCRM group.

The purpose of the view is provide a staff member with a list of people who have filled out the form. Though the custom fields aren't required, I thought I might filter on a certain field being !empty, but Views doesn't seem to have that choice anyway.

Now I'm thinking that I should add a custom field to that profile, "Filled out Intake form" which is a radio hidden from the user and defaulting to "TRUE." Then I could filter on "Filled out Intake form" = TRUE and get the desired list.

Please set me straight here or otherwise comment on whether I understand the choices available to me to solve this problem.

To summarize, what I need to know is:

Can Views' filters filter on whether a Civi contract is a member of a particular Civi group.

Thanks,
