Yes, you can! Do you have a specific question?
I need to show in UI text filed filter(like i need to enter manually not dropdown) for Invoice number.
1. I have created a user filter in record 2. In User Interface its showing as dropdown 3. instead of dropdown I need to show as text field filter(If select one filter value it will appear as text filter not dropdown) find below screenshot based on that i need create new user filter in record.
OK. OOTB user filters do only use drop down fields. The reason is, that they always work like selecting specific values.
Now, it seems like you want to be able to search for records. A search field does already exist. Why not use that?
Hi Unnam Nageswara Rao ,
Your objective can be achieved by activating the record search box option and restricting it to search solely within the "Invoice Number" column. You can also specify the placeholder value as "type here to filter with Invoice number". Please refer to the screenshot below for clearer guidance.
This One we need to show limited fields, I need to show more than 20 fields.
This many fields I need to show as Text filed filter.
You can uncheck the "Limit Search" checkbox to enable searching across all 20 columns.
Then, what is wrong with the drop down field?
users want to enter the value manually. they are not accepting the dropdown.
But entering a value manually while selecting a value from a predefined list ... does not work together in my mind.
For me, manually entering a value equals search, selecting from a predefined list equals filtering.
Alternatively, if you still want to have 20 different text fields for users to type and filter, you can create custom filters using text fields. Whatever value the user types can be stored in a variable. Then, create a rule to query the record data to display in a grid, and parameterize the query filter to filter the data by the typed values. However, I would recommend using the default search option as it already accomplishes what you're attempting to build.
