Live Data Panels
Reference
The panels are available from the "More Actions" menu, the "⋮" button on the right of a Live Data. They affect the Live Data no matter which layout is displayed.
| Panel | Acts on |
|---|---|
| Properties | Which properties are displayed, and in which order |
| Sort | The properties the entries are sorted on |
| Filter | The constraints the entries must satisfy |
Properties Panel
Every property the Live Data knows is listed here and can be toggled on and off. The properties can also be reordered with drag and drop. Each layout offers the same reordering outside the panel: by dragging a column header in the Table layout, or the "⋮" handle of a property in the Cards layout.
Sort Panel
The Sort panel allows you to sort on multiple properties, provided the properties are marked as sortable and provided the Live Data source supports sorting (either on single or multiple properties). Note that some layouts, like the Table layout, might have shortcuts for sorting (e.g., click on the column header).
Filter Panel
The Filter panel allows you to filter on multiple properties. For each property you can add multiple constraints, provided the property is declared as filterable (as indicated by the live data configuration). The widget used to enter a value depends on the type of the property and on the constraint operator. The following filter widgets are currently supported: text field, number field, suggestion list, date picker, checkbox.
FAQ
Why is one of my properties missing from the Sort or Filter panel?
Because the source declared it as not sortable, or not filterable. That is decided by the Live Data configuration, not by the reader.
Are the panels available in every layout?
Yes. The Table layout additionally offers shortcuts in its header, but the panels are always reachable from the "More Actions" menu.
