[Filters] Assignee to "Me"

[tdugard]

Hello everyone, as a supervisor i need to create custom filter for my team in the task view. Like 'My shot ready to render" or "My shots" and I have to create manually the filter for each user because in the assignee i can't just pick the current user (Me). My goal is to create the "My shot ready to render" as a Shared Filter with the "(Me)' inside the assignee filter. I now the My Task view is for that but for some departments the need to view all the surrounding tasks is required.

 

Is it possible to put a special variable in the Assignee that is automatically set to the current user logged in ? It can be very convenient to have this feature. I've searched on ftrack and on this forum but can't find this information.

Thanks.

 

EDIT : I've looked at the advanced filter settings and found the Query mode but can't make it work with CURRENT_USER_ID, tried :
 

assignments any (resource_id=CURRENT_USER_ID)

EDIT2 : Found it :

It works, but it will me easier to Have a "Me" in the Assignee list for non powerusers

Hi @tdugard, thanks for writing in and apologies for the delayed response here. 

You are correct, in that currently the only way to do this today would be to use the following syntax for a filter query

assignments any (resource_id = "{CURRENT_USER_ID}")

I'll be sure to fresh out a feature request with our team though since it would be great to have some sort of "logged in user" token that you could use in the regular filter builder.

If you have any further questions don't hesitate to give us a shout. 

Cheers,
Andrew
