Sort, filter, group, and search

Use the table toolbar to find exactly the records you need. Sorting, filtering, and grouping change only what you see in the current layout. To save a filtered list that everyone can use, create a View.

Filter by a linked table (Linked filter)

A Linked filter filters records by a field on a related table. For example, on Orders you can show only the orders whose Customer has the Status Lead, even though Status lives on the Customers table.

The Linked filter button is in the Filter panel, next to + Add condition group. It only appears on tables that have a Reference field to another table.

  1. Open the table and click the Filter icon (funnel).
  2. Click Linked filter.
  3. Under Select linked table, pick the reference field, for example Customer (Customers).
  4. In the blue linked block, choose a field from the linked table (for example Status), an operator, and a value (for example Lead).
  5. To remove it, click × on the linked block.
