Dynamic Filtering and Changing Filter Criteria
This example shows how to use the Entryset Filter module to dynamically filter a data set. This technique is used in a wide variety of situations when building a dashboard:
-
Connect a simple interface element such as a Listbox, Date Chooser or Slider to control condition parameters that filter a dataset.
-
Use the output of a clicked pie graph, bar graph or scatter plot to update a filtering condition and create a drilldown effect.
-
Use data generated by any other source or event to set condition parameters. For example add and subtract 10% from the price of an item selected in a table, and use these bounds to filter and display other nearby records.
The example file shows an Entryset filter in a the stages of configuration outlined below. The order required to configure any Entryset Filter is:
-
Connect an Entryset to the Entryset Filter's input.
-
Go to the Entryset Filter's property panel and define one or more conditions.
-
When you create conditions in the property panel, the Entryset Filter module will create new inputs under the menu item "Condition Connectors." Make connections from any module to the appropriate inputs to control the condition criteria and other properties.
