This page is for application designers who need to apply a background filter to the data that is displayed from streamtable.

The following layout components display data from a streamrecord:

  • a stream view
  • a card container.

In some cases, you may need to apply a filter on the stream table data that is displayed in the stream view or card container. This is called a background filter. The layout properties enable to you select several filter rules that combine to form a background filter.  This page explains how to set up a filter rule.

This properties tab is not available from the repository. It opens from the layout properties → Background Filter Rules section.
