Filtering content for displaying in a List

How can I populate a list of Things, where each of the things share a common property?  The things are all created from the same template.  I have been trying to use the getimplementingthings service, but I cant see where it allows me to filter.

You can use QueryimplementingThings but that will only allow you to filter on Values of properties.

If you need to filter on an actual Property definition, you will have to iterate and populate the information into a new table.

I ended up having to create a service to accomplish this task.  Maybe we can get some built in filtering in the next version

Even though we provide some base services that help filter, best practice is to create 'wrapped' services that use these base services so that you can properly secure them.
