Sorting and Filtering

Sorting

Sort grid displays by clicking a column heading. Click again to reverse the sort order. An arrow icon in the heading indicates the sort column and direction.

Filtering

Three filtering options are available:

  • Column Filtering
  • Row Filtering
  • Page Filtering

Column Filtering

Filter columns by entering free-form text in the column filter input box or using the column dropdown when provided.

Enter a value in the filter text box and press to apply the filter. Text column filters use a "Contains" operation. To specify "Starts With", precede the string with "*" (e.g., "*co").

Additional filters apply with "And" logic.

When a filter is active, the navigation ribbon updates to reflect associated counts. For example, filtering the Fields page updates the counts for Tables, Variables, and other related pages.

You can apply Column Filters to only one page at a time. Creating a column filter on another page replaces all filters from the previous page.


Clear Column Filters

Clear filters using one of these methods:

  • Press the button on the Filter Bar to remove all filters.
  • Remove a single filter by clicking the "X" on the filter chip.
  • For a dropdown filter, select "All" from the list.
  • Remove the text from a filter text box and press .

Column Filter Modifiers

Use a modifier in the filter to specify the filter operation type as shown below.

ModifierExampleDescriptionColumn Type
==99Equal (default)Number
!=!=99Not EqualNumber
>>99Greater ThanNumber
<<99Less ThanNumber
>=>=99Greater Than or EqualNumber
<=<=99Less Than or EqualNumber
**valueStarts WithText
%%valueEnds WithText

The modifier characters always function as modifiers. You cannot use them directly as search text. As a workaround, use the Page Filter followed by Row Filter "Filter to Visible".


Row Filtering

Filter by row by right-clicking in the grid and choosing an option from the context menu.

  • Filter to Selected: Use the currently selected rows as filter criteria. Shading indicates selected status. Select multiple rows using Shift-click or Ctrl-click.
  • Filter to Visible: Use all currently visible rows on the page as filter criteria. This works especially well with the page Search function.


Page Filtering

Type text in the grid Search box and press to perform a Page Filter. The search runs across all columns on the current page.

A Page Filter does not filter other pages.

Page Filters do not persist when you leave the page.


Clear Page Filter

To clear a page filter, remove the text from the Search box and press Enter.
