Filters can be added to a layer in two ways:
Add filter...
Filter
tab of the style editor, by clicking on the Add filter
button.Filters work on all data types, including text, numbers, booleans and dates.
It can be useful to create new derived layers that contain just the filtered data from the original. This can be achieved by clicking on the # features
text in pink, then selecting the Update in new layer
option from the dropdown menu.
Transformations from the Spatial Analysis toolkit can use filtered layers as input, which is very convenient for quick data wrangling & exploration.
