Welcome to the Basic Filtering Guide! This page will help you understand the basics of filtering in our system. Filtering is a powerful tool that allows you to manage and organize your data efficiently.

What is Filtering?

Filtering is the process of selecting specific data based on certain criteria. It helps you focus on the information that is most relevant to your needs.

How to Use Filtering

Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how to use filtering:

  1. Open the Data Table: Go to the data table where you want to apply the filter.
  2. Click on the Filter Icon: Most data tables have a filter icon (usually represented by a funnel or a filter symbol) next to the column headers.
  3. Select the Column: Choose the column you want to filter by.
  4. Set the Criteria: Enter the criteria you want to use for filtering. This could be a specific value, a range of values, or a more complex condition.
  5. Apply the Filter: Click the "Apply" button to filter the data.

Common Filtering Criteria

Here are some common filtering criteria you can use:

  • Exact Match: Matches the exact value you enter.
  • Contains: Matches any value that includes the text you enter.
  • Does Not Contain: Matches any value that does not include the text you enter.
  • Greater Than: Matches any value that is greater than the one you enter.
  • Less Than: Matches any value that is less than the one you enter.

Example

Let's say you have a list of products and you want to see only the products that cost more than $50. You would:

  1. Open the Product Table.
  2. Click on the Filter Icon next to the "Price" column.
  3. Set the Criteria to "Greater Than" and enter "50".
  4. Apply the Filter.

Now, only the products that cost more than $50 will be displayed.
