Some Filter Examples
Create prompt filter
You can create a filter that will prompt users to enter a value, and filter based on that. For example, if you have data which contains people's names, you could create a filter like:
Name contains
_prompt.EnterName fx
Filter on Current User
If your data contains details of the user, you may be able to filter based on the currently logged in user. For example, to set a filter where the owner equals the current logged in user, add a condition to the filter:
Owner equals
_user.name fx
Enter a list of values for an "Is In" or "Is Not In" filter
If you want to select a set of records which have a field set to one of a range of possible values you can do this by selecting the "Is in" or "Is not in" comparator from the drop down list and then simply typing the list of values into the edit box to the right of the comparator as a comma separated list like this:
...
Country Is in
["England","France","Germany"] fx
