Hi,
When using a ‘Import from Database’ action, it’s useful to know if there are any filters applied within the query itself, just by looking at the action image.
So an unfiltered import would remain as is:
And a filtered query would look something like this:
This might apply to other Import actions too, like selecting specific columns in an Excel file for example.
Thanks!
Hi Alistair,
I like the idea but have one concern.
The import from database action allows users to use their own custom SQL statements as well as those generated by the visual query builder. There are lots of ways in SQL that data might be being filtered (e.g. WHERE clauses, joins, aggregations, etc) which would be extremely difficult if not impossible for us to identify. So it would mean that the filter icon overlay might not be accurate or could be misconstrued (i.e. it could show no filters are being applied when in fact the data is being filtered).
It would also need to work alongside the other action icon overlays such as when they are being skipped.
Something we need to think through some more

Matt
