Click to Filter with Connected App Parts

A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström

SharePoint iconIn the previous demo Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, showed a way to connect web parts to let users select a country and see all customers from that country.

In the demo below Peter will show how to connect the same Customers list to a Countries list app part. The result lets users click on a country to see all customers from that country.

Note that a lists show up under both Web Parts and App Parts, so you can use which one of those buttons you want. That is why Peter could use the Web Part button in the previous demo and the App Part button in this demo and find the same Customers list.
