Studio features released in December 2022 Table components (15-12-2022)Introduces an option to disable filtering using cell selections within the View’s Table component. This configuration can be defined in the component’s YAML setup.Documentation: Table documentation----------------------------- Sync filters between views (15-12-2022)Brings new ways of synchronizing filters between views. Until now, users could decide if filters should be carried over from one View to another View when using components such as a table or button. When a filter was applied on View 1, and the user jumped to another View 2 by clicking on a button, the filter was forwarded. With this new change, the user can decide if the filters should be shared forward only (as of today), backward only (bringing filters from View 2 to View 1 only), both ways or not at all. In addition to that, the filters are synced immediately. This works no matter if View 2 is a Profile View or linked to the table and button component via View key.Other components like execution gap list or process explorer will follow at later stage.Documentation: Table documentation-----------------------------
