Filter data

Once inside the search window with the desired search open, apply filters to table data to isolate or exclude specified field values. The results are returned immediately and displayed in chronological order and at the same time. The timeline is updated to match the query.

Using the Operations Over Columns window

You can use this window to specify the arguments needed for the operation following the procedure explained below:

Using column header list of values

Select the arrow icon that appears when hovering over a column header to see the list of distinct values in that column, then click a value name. The Operations over columns window will be open in the Filter tab, and the Equal (eq, =) operation selected. The column and value selected will be automatically added as arguments of the filter.

Using cell value

Alternatively, you can use a cell's content as filtering criteria to quickly include all the arguments needed for the operation. If you place the cursor over a cell on the data table and press Enter, the Operations over columns window will be open with the Filter tab and the Equal (eq, =) operation selected. The arguments will be automatically filled with the values of the cell and its column (Value → Column, Is equal to → Cell).

Using cell value to filter in a new tab

 


You can also use a cell's content as filtering criteria and show the result in a different browser tab. Right-click on a cell and select Filter in another tab by (...) and a new browser tab will open to display the result of this filter operation without losing the previous search.

These separate searches function as independent searches, so modifying or closing one does not affect the other. This way we experience a higher degree of versatility in our workflow getting the ability to work with different variables and outcomes separately, and additionally, we get the ability to perform the filter operation with just two clicks.
