Filtering
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.
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.
