There are two types of filters in our reporting - Control Elements which are present on top of each page and can simply be selected by users and Element Filters which can be created by users inside of elements/visualizations and tables.


Element/Visual Filters


For element/visual Filters, users have the freedom to create a filter on any column in a table they are working with. When we right click and select the Filter option on a column and set the values, in the upper right corner the filter symbol will indicate the total number of active filters, and we can click on that symbol to see the filters and their settings.


 

 

By clicking the + sign we open the column names by which we can filter. Filters can also be created by right clicking on any column header or simply clicking on the carrot (down arrow) next to each header name), then selecting “filter.”

After selecting a column, we can choose the value by which we want to filter.

Each of our filters can be turned on and off by selecting a toggle switch next to it. Clicking out of the table will not remove the filter that was just created.

Depending on the field type, we can change the type of the filter (for example, we can use date range filters for date fields). We can also delete created filters.

 

In the above image we can see that Null values will be included, and we can disable that option.
