A default filter controls which records are displayed when a screen first opens. Default filters help ensure screens show the most relevant data without requiring users to filter manually - for example, showing only records from the current day or the previous seven days.
Default filters are configured through the object editor used by the screen.
Configure a Default Filter
Default filters are defined in the Attribute Rendering settings of the object editor.
Open the Configuration application and navigate to Layouts \> Object Editors.
Select the object editor used by the screen.
In the Attribute Rendering section, click Detail, then Edit.
Locate the attribute you want to filter.
In the Default Filter field, select the filter to apply.
Enter an Audit Comment and click Save and Refresh.
If the Default Filter field is not visible, click Detail to display the full set of attribute configuration options.

Most of these filters apply to Date, DateTime, or Timestamp attributes. The True and False filters should only be used with Boolean attributes.
Notes
Default filters may not work correctly if duplicate ES_ORDER values exist in the object's attribute specification.
Default filters for date-based attributes use predefined logic and cannot be extended. Additional filters for String and Reference attributes can be created using contains-based filters.
