DATA TABLES

[Under construction]

overview

elements of the data table

filtering

Filtering dates

When viewing data in AyaNova that is filtered with one of the relative date filters (for example a filter of "TODAY"), this time zone setting is taken into account in order to ensure that the user sees data appropriate to their time zone. This means that two people with browsers in different time zones using a filter of TODAY for a date field may see different list of results from each other.

todo: document that emojis can be used in any text field and key combo on windows is winkey-period -other os's too?

todo: WIKI controls

todo: DATA TABLES link to it's own page

Need help page specific to DataTable usage, link to it from the top of all manual pages that are for DataList UI pages (e.g. Customers page) Note: arbitrary 1024 max char text field length, truncates after that. Note: Special note to indicate that filtering by a column then hiding that column is supported as a feature User won't see the filtered column if they hid it but the filter still applies User can tell it's still filtered by the prescence of the filter reset button (circle with X inside) to the right of the filter selection list note: filtering system, column view system, saving filter, case sensitivity, tokens etc hidden query-affecting columns: Data Table column selector button will change to larger and accented when this is the case and the column selector form will highlight these hidden columns that affect the view with raised elevation, accent color and filter+sort icon (both show, there is no distinction which type of way it's affecting)

Data table filtering on Duration / interval type columns: Filters are limited to greater than or less than due to nature of this type of data which is very hard to match precisely due to millisecond differences making equals or not equals useless for exact comparison. In addition these types of fields always have a value even if it's zero so they don't work with Has value / no Value either Greater than and less than can be used to match any value desired by using two filters one greater one less and use of the OR or AND option as appropriate Case sensitivity and filtering - controlling

Data Table TAG filters

All tags are lower case always, case is not relevant in Tag filters.

Order is not relevant in Tag filters, so {green, red} is no different than {red, green} when filtering is applied

Filter types supported

Equality

Exactly equal compare entire search term array to tag array in db - all terms in search exactly present and no others in db record e.g. {red,green,blue} will return records with tags {green,red,blue} but not match {red,green,blue,orange}

Not equal

The opposite of Equality; specifically exclude rows that exactly match all the search terms e.g. {red,green,blue} will return records with tags {red,green,blue,orange} but not match {green,red,blue}

NO value

Will return records with no tags set at all

Has value

Will return records with any tag set

Contains

Returns records that contain the specified search tags. Records may have other additional tags but that's ok as long as it has the search term ones e.g. {red,green,blue} will return records with tags {green,red,blue} and also {red,green,blue,orange}

Not contains

All terms in search query NOT present in db record, don't care what else is in db record as long as it's not the search terms (order insensitive) e.g. {red,green,blue} will not return records with tags {green,red,blue} and also not return {red,green,blue,orange} but would return {red,green,black}
