AppBoard features a common concept throughout the product around filters and filtering. These are configured to reduce down data collections and to drive indicators in visualizations:

  • Server Side Filters (SSF): reduce the size of a data collection on the server side, i.e. client received only the reduced set of data. Server side filters are also used to drive SHIM query parameters.
  • Client Side Filters (CSF): performed on the client to reduce the size of a data collection. The full data collection is received by the client from the server.
  • Action Filter: determines whether an action should be triggered based on what was clicked by the end-user.
  • Visualization Filters:
    • Icon: determine icon to display based on filter conditions
    • Status Shape: determine status shape to display based on filter conditions
    • Color: determine color to show based on filter conditions
    • Colored Shape: combination color and status shape filter
    • Widget Options Filter or Quick Filter: either an Icon or Colored Shape filter that adds a button bar to the bottom of a widget to allow for quick filtering by the end-user.
Example visual filters: icon, colored shape, and colored shape quick filter
