How to Give Users the Power to Query Their Own Data

Be a hero, and give your Users the power to filter and query their own data.

The feature I've most often been asked for is some sort of ability to filter and search data.

Users love to have control and insight into their data, and often this doesn't take the form of complex graphs and charts but simple lists with search fields and filter options.

Part 1: Text Search && Tag Filtering

We'll start with a simple client list, and then add on a text search field and select box to send filters to the server that will be used in our clients database query.

1. Search Text will apply to name fields, email, and description.
2. Selected Client Tags will apply to any Clients that have matching tags.

In future videos we will cover other filters and options that can make our Client Grid more user-friendly.
