Filters allow users to have advanced control over data display. The filters button brings a filters page as shown below.

Create up to twelve advanced filters to customize table view.


For example, if we wish to find all customers from France, Germany or Mexico, whose contact names begin with A, M or P, the filters would look like this:

A filter to view all books published since 1950 and begining with the letter 'A'.


If a filter begins with 'And' it means the condition must be fulfilled, and if it begins with 'Or' then the condition is optional. You can use % (percentage sign) and _ (underscore) in comparison values when the comparison operator is 'Like' or 'Not Like'. % means any number of characters and _ means any single character.

There are several comparison operators available for filters, the following figure shows them all.

Available filter comparison operators.
