What is the Filter Row Elements Tool and what does it do?

The Filter Row Elements Tool allows you to apply filters to rows of data in your workflows. This tool lets you define specific conditions that determine which rows of data should continue to the next steps in your Flow.

Whether you're working with spreadsheets, databases, or forms, you can filter out irrelevant data rows and focus only on the ones that matter.

 

What Challenges Does the Filter Row Elements Tool Address?

Not all rows are equally important in large datasets. Manually filtering this data can be tedious and time-consuming, especially if done regularly. The Filter Row Elements Tool automates this process, ensuring only rows meeting certain criteria move forward. This reduces errors, saves time, and ensures efficiency in your workflows.

Key challenges it resolves:

  • Data filtering: Automates the exclusion of irrelevant rows.
  • Time efficiency: Saves time by removing the need for manual row filtering.
  • Accuracy: Ensures only the rows that meet your set conditions are processed.

 

How to Access the Filter Row Elements Tool

After selecting the Flow where you want to utilize the Filter Row Elements Tool, identify the specific steps within the Flow that require the application of your desired conditions.

You can then add a Tool by clicking on the "+" button underneath each necessary step. Clicking the "Tool" option will allow you to select from a range of different tools Flows offers, including the Filter Row Elements Tool.
