Using Custom Filters - Podio

Filters in the Summary screen allow you to refine and customize the displayed data based on specific criteria. Here’s a guide on how to use filters effectively:

Filter Syntax

The filter syntax follows a specific format. Below are the guidelines for different field types:

• Basic Syntax:

  {"filters":{"field_name":"value"}}

• Category Fields: Use the index of the category options.

  {"filters":{"status":0}}

• Text Fields: Use a string.

  {"filters":{"report-submitted":"yes"}}

• Related App Fields:: Use the App ID.

  {"filters":{"related_app_field":"1245785896"}}

• Multiple Values:: Enclose multiple values in an array.

  {"filters":{"field_name":["12345","5678"]}}

Podio Filter API

ProcFu utilizes Podio's filter API for these operations. For more detailed information and advanced filtering options, refer to the Podio Filter API documentation. This documentation provides comprehensive guidelines and examples for effective use of filters.

Examples:

• How to filter Podio API to get last two week's data

  {"filters":{"date":{"from":"-2w","to":"+0d"}}}

• How to filter unset category values in Podio

  {"filters":{"270475288":[5,null]}}

A top tip to create filters

For easier filter creation, build a temporary view in Podio. Then, use the Podio API's Get View endpoint to inspect the structure of that view. This will show you exactly how to format your filters.
