Validation & Behaviour

1. Search Pattern – By default, searching will filter rows based on the user’s search text matching anywhere within the displayable row values.

This option allows you to specify a replacement regular expression for row matching.

Use {{this}} to refer to the user search text in your regular expression.

e.g. ‘^{{this}}’ will show rows that start with the search text.

2. Default Filter – Allows you to specify the default filter formula for this screen. Any incoming filters will override any default filter specified.

e.g. {{this[0]}} = ORGMETA(‘projectId’)
