Between filters, you can opt for either and or or mode operation. Lookup, Formula, Nested Data are also supported in Filtering.

Supported filters

Currently we support filter types - is equal, is not equal, is like, is not like, is null, is not null for string fields. We also support filter types - >, <, >=, and <= for numeric fields. Also we provide is empty and is not empty for checking if the column is empty or not.
