Data Controller for SAS® enables you to create complex table filters. The "dynamic" setting enables the dropdown values to be pre-filtered by previous filter clauses. Filtered views are shareable! They are also used when [embedded in VA.](/embed-va) Data Controller for SAS® enables you to create complex table filters. The "dynamic" setting enables the dropdown values to be pre-filtered by previous filter clauses. Filtered views are shareable! They are also used when [embedded in VA.](/embed-va)
The clause shown above the grid is the resolved WHERE clause that was applied, so it uses SAS syntax - a date, datetime or time filter reads as a SAS literal, eg `SOME_DATE = '20APR2042'd`, rather than the internal day or second count.

When filters are submitted, the query is stored, and a unique URL is generated. This means you can share the link to a filtered view of a table! This can be used for VIEW, for EDIT and also for downloading data. When filters are submitted, the query is stored, and a unique URL is generated.
