A fixed filter narrows what a Table or List element shows, permanently and
invisibly to the end user — unlike search or allowed filters, which the user
drives. Use it for “this table only ever shows open tickets” or “only rows
belonging to the signed-in user”.
Before v2.0.0 a fixed filter had to be written as a custom expression. v2.0.0
adds a visual rule editor alongside it.
On a Table or List element, in the Filter by section of the element
editor. Click Open Filter Builder to open the Filter Builder dialog.
The dialog is draggable, so you can move it aside and keep looking at the
canvas underneath.
v2.0.0 lets three elements draw on a governed external API connector
instead of a database query:
| Element | What the connector supplies |
|---|
| Table | The rows the table renders |
| Form | The record the form reads, and the payload it writes on submit |
| Autocomplete | The dropdown’s options |
Same canvas, same elements — a different source of data.
A connector must exist and be published before it appears in the designer.
Connectors are built and governed on the admin side — allowlist, credentials,
definition, then execution enablement. If the picker says
“No published connectors are available for this app”, the work is in the
admin panel, not the designer. See
Connectors and the
Connectors setup guide.
