You can limit the selection of records displayed in the frontend.


Screenshots
-----------

Please refer to :ref:`Screenshots <introduction_screenshots_backend_filter>`


Tables
------

You can filter the main table and related tables.


Assistent
---------

There are the four assistent modes:

* Suggestion (foreign tables only): the easiest way
* Default: similar to suggestions but a little bit more design freedom
* Ready-to-use statements. Currently
	* >= NOW()
	* <= NOW()
* SQL-Professional: best design freedom, but you need to know a bit about SQL


Combining filters
-----------------

You can combine filters unlimited. 

Maybe you will have unexpected results. In this case please refer to the section 
* :ref:`Known Bugs > Filter <knownbugs_filter>`.
