Filter View
A Filter View allows users to refine data presentation based on specified criteria, significantly enhancing data visibility and analysis efficiency. It acts as an intermediary interface where users can select parameters to narrow down a dataset before viewing the results.

Note: Once a user applies filters in this view, the application will automatically redirect them to a List View to display the filtered results.

How to create a Filter View
For users new to SnapApp, the Filter View is essential for managing large datasets by allowing end-users to find exactly what they need.
- Navigate to the View Builder within your application settings.
- Choose Filter View as your View Type.
- Select the Application ID and the Object (the data source) you want users to filter.
- Provide a View Name and a Slug (the unique URL path).

Note: After setting the general settings, you must Publish the view before continuing with additional configuration.
Different features of Filter View Builder
The builder offers several sections to customize the filtering experience:
| Feature Category | Description |
|---|---|
| General Settings | Defines the core identity of the view, including the associated data object and URL slug. |
| View Configuration | Select the Fields you want to use as filter criteria. You can also toggle the Header or Sidebar visibility and set Visible Rows. |
| Security Settings | Sets the visibility of the filter view to either Public or Private. |
| Advanced Settings | Configures the Mobile Type for handheld devices and determines how the Add New component (Create Type) appears. |
| UI Customization | Allows you to add Custom Labels for buttons or create Custom Buttons to trigger specific logic. |
| Navigations | Use the +Add New option to define where users can go from this view. |
Managing Your View
Once your Filter View is configured, use these standard lifecycle actions:
- Preview: Check how the filter fields appear to the end-user before finalizing.
- Publish: Deploy the view so it becomes active within your application.
- Edit: Return to the builder at any time to add or remove filter criteria.
