What it means
Filters hide rows that do not match the rule on each column, so people can focus on the right slice of data without changing the table layout.
Data Operations guide
Filter data grid documentation
Filters hide rows that do not match each column rule. This page shows the built-in filter UI for text, select, date, time, boolean, and number columns.
When to use it
Use filters on work queues, exception lists, and wide tables where users need to narrow the list before acting. Use Search when users want to find text anywhere in the grid. Use filters when they know which field they want to narrow. Floating filters work best when people change rules often enough to justify the extra row.
Implementation notes
Presets are useful when a page usually opens in the same task state, such as At Risk work. Currency still uses the number filter. Only the cell formatting changes.
