Hi, I have read several posts about this but they skirt around the actual issue I need to know about.

In SQL, if you do a query, the result set is only the records you specified. I was thinking of filters that way as well. But I saw one post that alluded to the fact that ALL records are sent to the local device if Row Owners is not implemented.

Is the filtering done on server-side or on client-side?

I also saw another post that alluded to setting up an email array and using that array as “row owner”, but it did not tell how to do that.
