Description

Many views of the dashboard display details where it would be beneficial to sort and/or filter by specific values for various columns/fields of data. Today, these views have a top-level "filter" UX that is a free-form text field that seems to only actually filter the name column. We should consider standardizing on a UX that allows filtering views by any column based on the current values in the source (one/many/not) or by free-form text (similar to the Excel column filtering UX) or the Application Insights UX). Then the top-level free-form text box search could actually apply across all columns/fields, allowing for simple searching of things like a port number or image name, without having to specifically find that UX in the column-specific filters.

This multi-level experience would make it much easier for the user to quickly customize the view of data being presented to better suit various scenarios.
