FlowFilters control the calculation of FlowFields in the table (when the FlowFilters are included in the CalcFormula). FlowFilters do not contain permanent data, but instead contain filters on a per user basis, with the information stored in that user's instance of the code being executed. A FlowFilter field allows a filter to be entered at a parent record level by the user (for example, G/L Account) and applied (through the use of FlowField formulas, for example) to constrain what child data (for example, G/L entry records) is selected.
FlowFilter allows us to provide flexible data selection functions to users. The user does not need to have a full understanding of the data structure that's used in apply filtering in intuitive ways to both the primary data table and also to subordinate data. Based on our AL code design, FlowFilters can be used to apply filtering on multiple tables, whether this be from a subordinate to a parent table. Of course...
