This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app
However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.
This is a page to show how to use ConfiForms Filters by example
ConfiForms filters is the core component of the app and is used absolutely everywhere where you need to describe a condition, filter the dataset or setup the behaviour (field and IFTTT rules)
In this example we will be more focused on filtering the data, but will also touch the basics of a conditionally applied rules
Let's consider these forms that will, logically, build the bookshelf. Each book can be taken for reading and returned when ready. We will have a form for storing this state and couple of forms to store the data about the book and the author(s)
All books
Available books
No filter, showing all books in the bookshelf
