The Checkbox Filter in Yeeflow is a dynamic feature comprising a list of checkboxes, enabling users to select multiple options simultaneously for refined data retrieval. This functionality is particularly valuable when dealing with datasets that span diverse categories.
For instance, in a project management system, users can utilize the Checkbox Filter to select multiple project statuses such as "In Progress," "Completed," and "On Hold." In an inventory management scenario, checkboxes can represent various product attributes like "High Priority," "Low Stock," or "New Arrivals." This versatile filter empowers users to apply multiple criteria concurrently, enhancing the granularity of search queries. The Checkbox Filter ensures flexibility and precision in data selection, offering an interactive and user-friendly approach to handling complex datasets across various Yeeflow modules.
