Filter fields
Enable your app users to filter the data that gets displayed on views
In this video, learn how to:
Add filter fields
Test filters on views as the end user
Customise single-option, number and related table filter fields
Set default values
Set conditional logic for when a filter field is visible
Choose between 'Equal to' and 'Between' filter operators for number fields
Filter records that show in filters for relationship fields
Add a 'Search box' to enable users to search for values across all fields
Overview
You can enable in-app filtering for your users so they can more easily find specific records. This is particularly useful for long lists of items.
In the example below, we enable filter fields based on the Neighbourhood, Property Name and Status fields which allows users to find properties that meet certain criteria much faster.
To access this feature, enter into edit mode (cmd + e) and head to 'Filter fields' section of the view. Then simply toggle on the fields you want your Users to be able to filter by.
Search box
You can also add a "Search box" to any view that will search across any of your text/number fields that you have setup on the view instead of having to add multiple filters for each field.
How Search Box Works
The search box functionality depends on specific conditions:
Field Visibility Requirements:
The search box only searches fields that are currently enabled and visible in the active view
Hidden or disabled fields will not be included in search results
Fields must be added to the view's display settings to be searchable
Field Type Requirements:
Only text and number field types are searchable
Other field types (dates, relationships, attachments, etc.) are not included in search results
To search by a specific field, ensure it's both visible in your view and is a text or number field type. You can modify field visibility in the view's configuration.
Troubleshooting Search Box Issues
If your search box isn't returning expected results, follow these steps:
Search Not Finding Results in List Views
Problem: Searching by a specific field (like Item ID) returns no results.
Solution:
Open your list view in build mode
Check that the field you're searching for is enabled and visible in the view
Verify the field is a text or number type
If the field was hidden, enable it in the view settings
Test the search again
Search Not Working in Table Views
Problem: The search box returns no results despite valid search terms.
Solution:
Open your table view in build mode
Ensure at least one text or number field (like "Name" or "ID") is visible in the table
Add searchable fields to the table if none are present
Save your changes and test the search functionality
General Search Troubleshooting Tips
✅ Verify the field is visible in the current view's configuration
✅ Confirm the field type is text or number
✅ Check that you're searching in the correct view
✅ Try refreshing the page if recent configuration changes were made
✅ Use filter fields for non-text/number fields or complex filtering needs
