Sometimes you need to share a link with someone which shows a subset of the data from the form

The easiest way to do that is to user built-in functionality which employs a "special" parameter.

Parameter name is: cf_search_ 

followed by the form name you would like the filter to be applied on.

Let's consider the following link:

http://localhost:1990/confluence/display/ds/my+projects?cf_search_MyForm=title:test

The page "My Projects" has a simple TableView which lists all the projects from the form "MyForm". The form has a field named "title"

And this link will filter the TableView showing only projects which has "test" in their titles.

The filter itself looks like this (extracted from the request URL):

title:test

You can have much more complex filters, as the parameter expects the same syntax as documented here: ConfiForms Filters
