# Filtering and Searching

Above each column of the table there is a filter and search control. The display of data in the table is adjusted according to the set filters.

The display of numeric values can be limited to a maximum and a minimum value (two fields are available), while only one field is available for searching text values.

The filtering can be started by pressing Enter or automatically after a set delay. This delay can be controlled in the configuration INI file by setting the variable *`ApplyFilterDelay`*.

{% hint style="info" %}
Filter "reset" can be done by emptying all hotnot filters + confirming with Enter key.
{% endhint %}

## Default filtering

The configuration can be set so that the data table is filtered by the column and value in the configuration at startup. These are the parameters *`InitiateFilterDbFieldName`* and *`InitiateFilterValue`*.

## Examples of filtering and searching

The images below contain examples of filtering numeric and text values.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.besmart.software/erpp/erp-picker-standalone-app/overview-of-commands/filtering-and-searching.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
