The table used to create this application must be the same as the one used to create the form.

In this article we will show you how to configure a filter application.  
  
   
  
After creating the filter application, using the same table as the form, follow the steps below:

 

 

1. First, we must select the fields that will be present in the filter.  
  
    In the application settings, in the side menu access Filter> Field positioning.

2. Next, we must create an application-type connection, with the form that will have the filter.
