Say I have a view that has a column based on metadata from my termset. I want to create a view that contains all the items that are tagged in one parent term and its child terms. For example:

A view called "Fund Documents" would contain anything with:

Fund Documents

  • Certificates
  • Legal

So if a document is tagged "certificates" it should show up in the view, or if it is tagged "Fund Documents" it should also show up.

I hope I am making sense...

I would like to do this without explicitly entering all the child categories as well as the parent in the view filter settings.

Unfortunately you cannot filter the managed metadata for the parent and also return child terms when creating a view.

An alternative is to turn on metadata navigation. This would give you a navigation control on the left hand side of the page to filter by fields. Clicking on a top level term here would also show all the items with sub terms.

This can be accessed from the Library Settings. Under the General Settings section there is a Metadata navigation settings link.
