If you want to create a link to a View that goes to the Multiple Entries context but only shows entries that are pre-filtered to a single entry based on its ID, you can do that two different ways:

### 1. Using the Search Bar

- Add a Search Bar widget to your View
- Add an Entry ID field
- Save the View
- Go to your View URL and add `?gv_id=123` to the page URL, where `123` is the number of the entry

### 2. Using Advanced Filtering

 *Note: This requires the [Advanced Filter extension](https://www.gravitykit.com/products/advanced-filter/), included in the Core + Extensions and All Access licenses.*

- Edit the View and go to View Settings
- Click on Filter & Sort
- Add a filter to the View where "Entry ID" "is"
- Choose the name of the URL filter you would like to use. In this example, we are using a placeholder `ParameterName`
- Add a [{get} Merge Tag](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/merge-tags/the-get-merge-tag/) as to the filter value, using your parameter name (in this example, `{get:ParameterName}`
- Save your View
- Access your View and add the Entry ID to the URL like this: `https://example.com/view-page/?ParameterName=123`, where `123` is the Entry ID.
