System Administration
Filtering a result set refers to the process of limiting the number of records processed by the Stewardship Tier. A filter removes records from the page that do not meet the user-defined criteria, which limits the number of records displayed or downloaded. Filters can be applied to the Horizontal View for dynamic pages, report pages, columns with a control type of List Box or Text Box, and downloads.
Filtering a record set produces noticeable performance improvements and limits the amount of data transferred between the SQL Server and the web server. This limitation decreases the processing time for the request and the size of the active web page. Filtering makes large data sets more manageable by excluding unwanted records from the results.
By default, any Stewardship Tier page displaying a horizontal grid can be filtered. To launch the Filter View, click the Filter button on the Toolbar. The Filter button is active for all pages that contain records.
The Filter View displays a row for each column that can be filtered in the Horizontal View. Reserved columns, such as the Edit, Validation and Delete, are excluded from the filter.
The column control types used on the Filter View are not always the same as those used on the Horizontal View. Instead, the Filter View determines the appropriate filter control based on the default column property. If a default column property is not defined, then the Stewardship Tier overrides the control type from the underlying SQL data type of the column.
