🎛 Launched: Easy Interactive Filtering using Controls

News from Coda
21

I am just curious. I am still very new to all of this and am working with someone at work using coda.
I want to know if, for example, you create a filter of a table with over 1000 rows in it with 3 different parameters, size, color, shape, etc., would these interactive filters be able to be used to filter such a large table quicker than just a single formatted column? And not slow it down, so to speak?

Dear @Scott_Kauer,

It should not be a problem at all.
The important thing to take care about is the conditions between the filters, I mean:

The combinations of “and” , “or” could cause a conflict as in this sample

Size: “XS” is zero pieces accordingly color and shape will also be zero when you filter only size “XS”.

:bulb:
Just follow your business logic, that you know the best

I used size, color, and shape as an example. We are not using that but thanks.

Interactive Filter, with multi-select enabled, is pretty useless if you have a field with more than a dozen items or so. (as it displays them all, and you must manually select, as you show)
However, you could at least use an interactive filter as a search box for a single item.

  1. Create a new view and name it something like: “single sku search.”
  2. Create an interactive filter - but disable “multi-select.”
    This will give you a view of your table where you can search for a single item withe your interactive filter.
    If you want to search for and select multiple items - run from interactive filter - run!

Hi there! Love this feature. Would it be possible to enable interactive controls on chart views, as with tables? I’m new to Coda so apologies if this is already possible.

It is already doable :wink:!
Here is a very very very quick example :blush:
