Search Filter Tips
K offers a powerful google like search function that lets you quickly locate your data items.
Sometimes, the search return may return long list of data items. Filters are a great way to narrow your search results.
Default filters
When you use the search function, a number of default filters will always be displayed.

For each of these filters, you can select any number of filters. You can also toggle the behaviour of the filter to either ‘Include’ or ‘Exclude’ the chosen values.

Using search in Filters
Sometimes you may want to search for a specific value in the filter.
Enter the value you want to search by to see what filter values match.
Currently only exact match is supported. You cannot use wildcard in the filter search. For example, in the below option
After selecting the ‘Full Name’ filter
Type in the custom filter value
Select Save
Sales is not an exact match and will return 0 results
Searching for Date Ranges
For date type filters, there is an additional filter feature where you can choose to filter between a date range.
