Filter for Internal (Editable) Source

This tile allows users to create, manage, and activate filters for an internal editable data source. Filters can be used to dynamically update the content displayed in other tiles—such as admin panels—based on specified criteria.

Overview​

The Filter for Internal (Editable) Source tile is used in dashboards to apply predefined filter conditions on a selected internal source. Once a filter is activated, only records matching the filter conditions will be visible in connected tiles (e.g., admin panels).

Use Case Example​

Suppose you have an editable data source named products with fields such as:

  • source_country
  • price_usd

You also have a dashboard with two tiles:

  1. A Filter tile connected to the products source.
  2. An Admin Panel tile displaying the products data.

Steps:

  1. Create filters using conditions like:
    • source_country = "Vietnam"
    • price_usd > 100
  2. Save these filters.
  3. Select and activate a filter from the Filter tile.
  4. The Admin Panel will automatically update to show only the records that match the selected filter.

Features​

  • Create new filters for internal sources.
  • Modify or delete existing filters.
  • Activate filters to dynamically update other connected tiles.
  • Supports compound filter conditions (e.g. combining multiple field constraints).

Limitations​

  • Only works with internal (editable) data sources.
  • Does not support filtering external or read-only data sources.
