Quick Filters

TipoTapp allows you to configure Quick Filters to filter list of objects listed in a Tipo with predefined conditions.

 

Quick Filters are used to filter the data displayed in list views. When used, only the relevant records will be fetched from the server. Quick Filters also use the Query DSL specified in the next section.

Save the Application  Tipo. After saving, expand the Application Status  field to show what’s in the system field name. You’ll see application_status  with an underscore in the middle.
