Chris, thanks. Yes I see the temp-view. But still this is not more than getting an "And" of several auto-filter results.
You say it has the technical reason of not being able to save a lense. But in blist I could! As a guest.
You may look at my test-lenses there. They are marked with user "guest".
Which leads me to the question: How can I delete those lenses? I can't find a way.
But I agree. Maybe it is no good idea, to get a lot of funny guest-lenses in my dashboard. Maybe some auto-clean-up after log off could help? Or a configurable time period for how long a guest-lens shall be stored.

ok, but why not allowing the creation of a guest's view like in blist? It would do the job without additional programming effort. An advanced Auto Filter would then be a nice to have = second step.

same in blist; see http://www.socrata.com/education/Germ...
I think it is good news to go away from Flash :-)
thanks for caring about a German question mark

Thank you, auto filter is good feature but does not what I asked for. And it is limited to pick one value but can not pick ranges.

Thank you for your detailed answer.

version:
Your Flash Player version is

WIN 10,0,22,87
Your browser is Gecko engine (Mozilla, Netscape 6+ etc.) on the Windows platform.
The latest Flash Player versions are
Linux: 10.0.22.87

OS X: 10.0.22.87

Windows: 10.0.22.87

my settings are: (see screenshot attached)



DE Deutschland (Deutschland)
Tastatur
Deutsch

For what I see: It seems that shift is working only for letters but not for other keys. Whereas the english setting seems to produce shifted signs.

I built a blist with name "German Keyboard Test" to show the different settings and results:

Just to add: in blist it is possible to make such a lens or view. Not by clicking new lens but via lens builder.
What urges me to refer to the question of Michael: How did .. turn .. frustrating program ...

No new lens for non logged in users?

I see no way to build a (temporary) lens as not logged in user. But for using more than one column for sort (hierarchic sort) or reordering columns it would be necessary.

page view as a default?

How can any person switch to page view in the social data player or how can I define page view as default for a view?

print of a lens does not restrict to the lenses columns

instead of always all columns are printed to the pdf
Any way to only get the columns of the lens printed?

cannot find question mark on german keyboard

seems to be the US-english layout, but not really.
Umlaute are on the right position. And keys like & or ( are in the top row where they belong in the english layout.
But instead of ? right below I get blank or -
This is specific to the socrata window: all other windows are accepting my keyboard :-)
