# SetTableView cannot broaden DataItemTableView
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`Report.SetTableView()` applies the supplied record view by narrowing the view already defined by the report dataitem's `DataItemTableView`. It cannot remove or broaden a static dataitem filter. A caller that requests records excluded by `DataItemTableView` therefore produces an empty dataset rather than overriding the report filter.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Keep only invariant restrictions in `DataItemTableView`. When callers must select among values, leave that dimension open in the static view and pass the required filter through `SetTableView`. Review this as a defect only when the report definition and caller together show a contradictory filter.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.good.al`](settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.good.al).
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Define a static filter in `DataItemTableView` and call `SetTableView` with a mutually exclusive filter while expecting the runtime view to replace the static one. The filters are intersected and no records are selected.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.bad.al`](settableview-cannot-broaden-dataitemtableview.bad.al).
