filter/sort documents

create a new filter/sort rule

First select the none rule and change // none to your rule name. You may have to klick on the direct left button from the rule selection to reveal the rule input field. Now you can edit your rule as native AQL statements. The current document can be accessed via doc. Let's create a rule that filters all _key smaller than 10.

01: // filter ._key < 10
02: filter to_number(doc._key) < 10

Line 1 is the name of the rule Line 2 is the AQL statement that will filter all _keys samller 10. Note the conversion to a number first. After a short timeout your new rule is automatically saved and applied to the documents overview. When you click outside from the input field the edited rule is also saved and applied.

edit filter/sort rule

To edit a rule just type the new rule into the rule input field. The rule is automatically save and applied when you click outside.

create new rule from existing rule

First change the rule name, then edit the rule. The new rule is saved automatically.
