Would be useful a filter option (like in-app filter ) for entire application ( make a filter for all pages / screens through one option ). ---

If you thread is a question, then in-app filters are set at the collection level, and you can create your own custom on-screen filter at the screen level. But as far as I know you cannot set a filter option at the app level. Could you share a use case? ---

It’s ok like this so it doesn’t sound like a question? Use case - I have a Countries filter and I want that when you select one country to see throughout the application only events from that country. ---

That’s a neat idea. I think you could build it. You could have an onboarding screen that would ask the user for a country and you could write that information to Users table, and then filter screens and components on that.

Something like this: Create a User Specific column to hold the search text. This should be in the table that your Home Screen is attached to. (Normally I’d say put that column in your User Profiles table, but I think your App doesn’t require sign in, yes?) In each of the tables that you want to search, add the following columns: – A single value column, that fetches the search term from the Home Screen table – Now, lets assume you have a Na…
