looking for a way to filter a document library based on metadata from an item in a different library.
For example I would have two web parts on a page , selecting on in item in library one would filter library 2 based on the value of a column from the item that was selected in list one.
Can this be acomplished with something ootb? or using the client object model or jquery?
This normally can be accomplished by using connectable webparts. Make sure to tick "allow Connections" under the advanced webpart settings.
Whenever you select the dropdown menu of a webpart, you can choose "connections", and select the webpart that you want to connect to. You then can configure your connection to filter the data based on a specific selection.
