How to use Views to list all empty apartments, which do not have any tenant? So basically I have two content type: Apartment and Tenant as below.

Apartment content type:

  • Room
  • Tenant (entity reference to Tenant content type)

Tenant content type:

  • Name
  • Phone

Do you guys have any suggestion?

  • In the fields, i have content type: room, content type: referent to tenant, Views conditional if tenant is empty then output apartment and content: title. In filter criteria, I have content:type apartment checked. So they list all the empty room and also room has tenant. What i want is just empty room to be shown.

It's simple in Filter Criteria, click add and add your entity reference field.

When you are adding your field, for Operator, select Is Empty (Null)

  • Thank you. You are right, it is so simple. Why didn't I think about it? :D. Anyways, may I ask you another question? Is there anyway to use Views to keep a record of any change of tenant field in the Apartment content type? Because when tenant moves out and others move in a apartment, I want to keep a record of that. I have tried Track field changes, but it prints out only one change at a time.

  • @Tony to answer your comment Question. If you're on Drupal 7, you can use the Rules module to store the value(s) of your tenant field in another field when your node is saved and if your value has changed. Else, if you're on Drupal 8, you will have to do this programmatically by creating a small custom module to do this for you.

  • So your storage field is a field of unlimited values, and each time your entity reference field changes, you store the value that was there in here, then all you gotta do is add this field to views.
