Linked View

Overview

The Linked View component embeds a view from a related feature directly inside a form. It displays related records filtered by the current record's value — creating a live, interactive relationship view.

Example: In a "Client" form, a Linked View can show a table of all orders belonging to that client, without the user needing to navigate away.

How it works

When a record is opened in a form, the Linked View:

  1. Reads the value of the caller value column from the current record.
  2. Filters the linked feature where the filter column matches that value.
  3. Renders the filtered results using the configured view type.

Example configuration:

  • Current feature: Clients (with column "id")
  • Linked feature: Orders
  • Filter column: "client_id" (in Orders)
  • Caller value column: "id" (in Clients)
  • View type: Table

When viewing Client #42, the embedded view shows all orders where client_id = 42.

The Linked View component only renders inside form views. It does not appear in tables, lists, or other compact view types.
