Search & Filtering
Beam provides powerful search and filtering tools to help you quickly find the items, orders, and data you need. All search and filter settings are saved per table between sessions, so your preferred view is always ready when you come back.
Search Bar
The search bar is located at the top of every table view. To search, type a term and press Enter. Your search term appears as a chip (tag) in the search bar.
Multiple Search Terms
You can add multiple search chips by typing additional terms and pressing Enter. Multiple chips are combined with AND logic only records matching all search terms are displayed.
Removing Search Terms
To remove a search chip, click the X button on the chip or press Backspace in the search bar to remove the last chip. Removing all chips clears the search and shows all records.
Column Filters
For more targeted filtering, use column filters. Click the filter icon to open the filter panel. Each column with filtering enabled shows a dropdown where you can select specific values to include.
- Click the filter icon in the table toolbar to expand the filter panel.
- Each filterable column displays a dropdown with all available values.
- Select one or more values to filter the table to only matching records.
- When a column filter is active, a badge indicator appears to show that filtering is applied.
Visible Columns
You can control which columns are visible in any table view. Click the tune icon (column settings) to open the column visibility panel. Use the checkboxes to show or hide individual columns. Your column visibility preferences are saved per table and persist between sessions.
Sorting
Click any column header to sort the table by that column. Click again to toggle between ascending and descending order. A sort indicator arrow appears in the column header to show the current sort direction.
Persistence
All your search, filter, column visibility, and sort settings are automatically saved per table between sessions. When you return to a table, Beam restores your last-used configuration so you can pick up right where you left off.
