Dropdown categories for Risksheet

In some cases, it can be helpful to filter suggested work items in your Risksheet based on user input—such as selecting a specific category from a dropdown menu.

Configuration

1. As a prerequisite, we should have the enumeration with needed categories created in the Polarion Administration

2. After that, we can add our enumeration dropdown to the risksheetTopPanel.vm file (check this article if you are not familiar with it)

Cars:
<select name="cars" id="cars">
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

4. Create a query that will help the system understand that we would like to see only items that have the same category as the one we've selected on the top panel

...
"queryFactories":{
      "hazardQuery":"function(info){return ''+$('#cars').val();}"
    },
..

..
 "id": "hazard",
 "bindings": "hazard.title",
      "typeProperties": {
        "linkRole": "assessedHazard",
        "linkTypes": "hazard",
              "queryFactory": "hazardQuery"
      }
   ..

6. The Risksheet will show you only items that correspond to the selected option.
