Can we Override/Extend modules/Filters/clients/base/datas/model/model.js

We have a need to have a relate field to the Employee's module. However the relate field automatically adds to the filter users.status != 'Inactive'. Because this is the Employee's module we are relating we want to search instead for employee_status != 'Inactive'

The code is in modules/Filters/clients/base/datas/model/model.js

What we want to do is extend this .js and if the module passed into the buildSearchTermFilter function is anything but Employees, call the parent function... otherwise we can add custom filters.

Can this be done?

Hi Jeff,

as far as I know, the employees view is just a different view on the users module and shares the same DB tables with it. Its purpose is to give normal users a way to see (read-only) the other users contact data without allowing them admin access (same as profile is a way to edit your own user data).

Greets,
Mark

Yes, that is correct. However... when I search on the Popup for an Employee I can only see Users that are active. I want to search for Employees that are active. I don't need to know if they have an active User.

Hi Jeff Bickart,
Did you find any solution for this? I want to achieve the same and tried copying file to the custom directory with similar setup as well as in custom/modules/Filters/clients/base/data/ but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
