Column Filter (legacy)

This node is part of the legacy Quick Form nodes and will be deprecated soon. The replacement for this node can be found in the configuration/widget nodes. For more information on these new nodes see this blog post.

Takes a data table and returns a filtered data table with only the selected columns. The selection can also be controlled from a quickfrom (WebPortal).

The node supports custom CSS styling. You can simply put CSS rules into a single string and set it as a flow variable 'customCSS' in the node configuration dialog. You will find the list of available classes and their description on our documentation page.

Options

Label: A descriptive label that will be shown in, for instance the WebPortal.
Description: Some lines of description that will be shown in the remote control form, for instance by means of a tooltip.
Hide in Dialog: If the setting should be hidden in a wrapped metanode dialog.
Variable Name: Variable identifier.
Parameter Name: Parameter identifier for external parameterization (e.g. batch execution).
Default Values: The columns that are selected by default.
Limit number of visible options: By default the filter component adjusts its height to display all possible choices without a scroll bar. If the setting is enabled, you will be able to limit the number of visible options in case you have too many of them.
Number of visible options: A number of options visible in the filter component without a vertical scroll bar. Changing this value will also affect the component's height. Notice that the height cannot be less than the overall height of the control buttons in the middle.

Input Ports

Output Ports
