Description

The column filter will have a few selection types:

  • Combo box: generally meant to have an option for global search via "contains" or "does not contain" that will live-filter the viewable columns for selection
    • Once columns are winnowd down via the filters they are then "selected" with a check box
  • A selection box to change the type of view filter. We may support more in the future, but will start with: Contains, Does not Contain
  • Selection box to limit the columns to specific types such as integer, numeric, string, date/time, etc
  • Select All and Deselect all - this will affect the full list of selections as limited by the any text in the Combo Box, otherwise global
