Global Filter

⚙️ Global Filter

The global filter allows users to perform wildcard searches across all searchable columns. It can be disabled entirely or disabled for specific columns. Users can activate the global filter, click the search icon in the top right corner of the table.

💡 Global Filter Behavior

The behavior of the global filter depends on the performance settings:

• If large table support is disabled: The global filter is applied instantly.
• If large table support is enabled: The user must press the Enter key to apply the global filter.

⚙️ Disable Global Filter

To disable the global filter entirely, go to the Table menu in the Table Builder and deselect the enable global filter option.

⚙️ Exclude Columns from Global Filter

To exclude specific columns from the global filter, navigate to the Columns menu in the Table Builder and deselect the Searchable option. This will also disable the column's individual filter.
