Filter elements in tablesIf you want to see only a subset of the elements in a table, you can apply a filter to an element based on a property or related element. Once a filter has been applied, the filtered value is displayed as a filter chip at the top of the table in the filter row. This lets you see at a glance if and what filters have been applied to the table. As a result of the applied filter, the number of shown elements relative to the total number of elements is presented in the model row of the table, for example: (6/33).
Add filter to a table from the model row for a property
- In a table, in the model row, in a column showing a property, click on
Filter. - In the field Operation, choose how the filter should be applied. See the table below for an explanation of the options.
- In the dialog Add filter, click on Add.

Add filter to a table from the model row for a related element

Add advanced filter using the filter row
Applying a filter from the filter row, you have more options available compared to applying a filter from the model row. For example, from the model row, you can only apply a filter on a property or related element that is actually displayed in the table. From the filter row, you can also apply a filter to a property or related element not displayed in the table. In that respect, filtering from the model row is a shortcut to filtering from the filter row.
