Filtering Datagrids for specific records

In cases where a Datagrid component contains a great quantity of data, it can be helpful to users to be able to filter the data so as to more easily locate specific records, without having to scroll excessively. App Builder provides such a filtering option for Datagrid components.

Note: For end users to be able to use the filtering feature, these options must be selected when building the app:
  • The Show Headers option, in the Style section of the Style tab
  • The Enable Filter Bar option, in the Toolbar section of the Contents tab
  1. With the app in Preview mode or launched, click the magnifying glass icon.
  2. When the filter field expands, type in the text string you want to search for.
  3. Press Enter.
The Datagrid does a search and then displays only those records that contain the specified string.
