Blocks: Input Group

A search box that filters the tables and other blocks on the page as people type.

What's in this video

  1. An Input Group is a box people type in, to search the page. This page already has a table of jobs. Let's add a search box, and move it above the table with the Position arrows. Search for Input Group and click it.
  2. Give it a name, and a Field label: the words shown next to the box. Search jobs.
  3. Choose the same list as the table under Data source: Work Orders.
  4. Then the Filter field: the column to search in. Choose Title.
  5. Now it's connected. Whatever people type, every block on the page that uses Work Orders shows only the rows that match.
  6. Let's try it. Click Preview.
  7. Type boiler. The table narrows as you type, to just the jobs with boiler in the title.
  8. Clear the box, and every job comes back. Choose a different filter field to search by site, or by who the job is assigned to.
