When large amounts of information are available from your database, there are two quite similar approaches to reducing the amount of information shown in a list:
| • | Searching—When you search for a particular value in the search field above the list, the contents of your list are replaced with the values that match your search. Often you'll be looking for one, or a few records. |
| • | Filtering—Filtering tends to be used to narrow down to a group of records. This section covers filtering. |
You can use the search and filter controls in any combination you like.
Behind the scenes, there is just one filtering engine; but there are different ways you can control it, depending on how you prefer to work:

Description |
|
Using a header filter makes it easy to restrict the values in column you can see displayed. It constantly updates the list as you adjust the filter settings. |
|
|
This extra button in the header row enables you to quickly filter the list by selecting one of the listed values. |
Of course, filters apply only to the list where you create them; and even if you navigate away to another page, they are still in place when you return, until you clear the filter.
