Searching, Filters, and Views
July 20, 2026
Summary
Nearly every grid in Flxpoint shares the same tools for finding and displaying data: a keyword search bar, field filters, configurable column Views, and CSV exports, with every searchable field also exportable.
OVERVIEW
Nearly every grid in Flxpoint shares the same tools for finding and displaying data: a keyword search bar, field filters (saved or default), configurable column Views, and dynamic CSV exports. Every field you can search on, you can also export.
- Search bar — keyword search across SKU, MPN, UPC, and Title by default.
- Filter by field — build AND/OR conditions and save them for reuse.
- Views — configure which columns show in the grid.
- Export — export any searchable field to CSV, with custom headers.
- Default filters — Sources, Channels, and Statuses on every screen.
- Tags — filter by tag to work with a set of records.
FILTER TYPES
| Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Search bar | Keyword match; by default searches Variant SKU, MPN, UPC, and Title. Use the gear icon to add other fields (Ctrl/Cmd-click for several). |
| Filter by field | Conditional filters (Equals, Does Not Contain, Within Last, and more), combined with AND or OR. |
| Date range | Start and end dates, or one side only; switch to date-and-time for minute precision. |
| Default filters | Sources, Channels, and Statuses, present on each screen (Ctrl/Cmd-click to select several). |
AND VS OR, AND DATE RANGES
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Plus beside Filters (AND) | Adds another field; results must meet all conditions. |
| Plus to the right of a field (OR) | Adds an alternative; results match any condition. |
| Start and end date | Results between the two dates. |
| Start date only / end date only | Results after that date / before that date. |
IMPORTANT NOTES
Note: Adding a column on the fly (Ctrl/Cmd-click a column header) is discarded on refresh or when you switch views. To keep a column layout, save it as a View.
Note: The search bar only checks four fields by default — Variant SKU, MPN, UPC, and Title. To search other fields, add them with the gear icon.
Note: Use Manage Filters to save a filter (nest into folders to organize), and Save View to keep a column set. Otherwise your setup resets.
Note: Every searchable field is exportable and every export is CSV. You control which fields are included and each field’s header.
COMMON ISSUES
- The export download link returns a permission error — seen where the CSV download link fails with a permission error across multiple logins and after logging out and back in. This is a platform-side issue with the export link; re-run the export, and if the new link still fails, contact Support with the failing URL.
- The exported CSV does not match what the grid shows — confirm you exported the intended fields and that no stale filter or view was applied, then refresh and re-export. If a specific record’s rows are still missing from the file, capture the record and contact Support — a mismatch between the grid and the export has been reported as a bug.
FAQS
- What does the search bar match by default? Variant SKU, MPN, UPC, and Title. Click the gear icon to search additional fields, holding Ctrl or Cmd to pick more than one.
- How do I combine conditions with AND vs OR? The plus sign beside Filters adds an AND condition (all must match); the plus to the right of a field filter adds an OR alternative (any can match).
- How do I save a filter or a view? Click Manage Filters to save a filter (and nest it in a folder), and use the gear next to View, then Save View, to keep a column layout.
- Why did my added column disappear? Dynamic column changes are temporary and reset on refresh or when you change views. Save them as a View to keep them.
- Can I save an export layout to reuse? Yes. In the Export modal use Create New Export Template to save your chosen fields and order, then pick it from the Export Template dropdown next time.
- Can I filter by a large list of SKUs at once? Use the In List operator on a field like Parent SKU rather than adding one OR row per SKU.
