 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.

 ## Shared Filters
 
 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.
