12 - Adding a filter sandbox container

📖 Task Introduction

The ability to filter a view is a common feature of object views. In this task, you'll construct another type of layout that interacts with filters you may set up in your object view. This layout is the Filter Sandbox Container, and as you'll see in the next exercise, it enables greater control over how responsive the contained widgets are to these inter- and intra-tab filters.

To fully illustrate the filtering effect, you’ll create one Property Card widget inside a Filter Sandbox Container and another one outside of it.

🔨 Task Instructions

1. Add a Property Card widget at the top of your object view’s Properties tab.
2. Make it a Count aggregation of the number of linked passengers (similar to the one created in the previous lesson, Adding a tabbed container widget, part 1).
3. Immediately below that Property Card widget, add a Filter Sandbox Container widget at the top of your object view’s Properties tab.
4. Click ⊕ Add Section in the container widget configuration panel on the right.
5. In the block that appears, click the Select Section link.
6. Configure a Property Card widget identical to the one you generated above. The only difference should be that this one is located inside of a Filter Sandbox Container.
