I’m looking for a way to exclude certain records from appearing in my Device State table based on a null value for an attribute. Is there any kind of feature like this? If not, filtering might be a good feature for a future version.

Hi Todd,

There currently is not a way to filter Device’s out of the state table by attributes. But that’s a good feature, I’ll add it to the task queue.

Thanks,  
Erin

Has filtering for specific colums of a data table block been added/requested before?
