Page filter add contains + allows "ORs"

When using a filter on card on a text field, you can use a contains "blah" as a condition. Great..

But then when you go to a Page filter, you can only select literal values (I know you can search and click "all" to get a similar result but it's not the same thing).

I would like to be able to do this in a page filter too..

Then save it as filter on whole Dashboard.


Also it would great to have the ability to do ORs for contains in that page filter too.. e.g.

  • Prog id contains 'webinar'
  • OR
  • Prog id contains 'event'
  • OR
  • Prog id contains 'London'
  • etc..

Thanks, Duncan

    While I could see this being useful, you may be able to achieve something similar by adding a "Category" column to the dataset in your ETL that you could use as a slicer. Granted, this depends on the number of categories you would want to search and whether these categories are mutually exclusive.

    case 
when `Prog id` like '%webinar%' then 'Webinar'
when `Prog id` like '%event%' then 'Event'
when `Prog id` like '%London%' then 'London'
else 'Other'
end

    This request has been a known missing feature in Domo for years. It would be amazing to see headway on this.

    I believe this feature will be very helpful as "contains" and "ORs" are very practical ways to filter dashboards.

    This post deserves a monthly bump until taken into development queue. Anytime my user base wants to do an OR filter I have to create it via beast mode so they can leverage as a page filter. Not an ideal solution and fully hardcoded so no flexibility. Page filtering where we can use the OR qualifier should be a priority for the product team. I love what Domo is doing with new advanced tools and new products but we've got to have this base functionality.

    We need 'Contains' so badly! None of the workarounds work for the use cases I encounter the most.
