Advanced filters 2.0: New operators and improved consistency

/in

We have enhanced the advanced filtering for smart lists to improve consistency, clarity, and standardisation. Previously, filters featured inconsistent operators across various data types, and some commonly expected operators were absent. We have standardised the behaviour of operators across date, numeric, and string filters while refining existing logic. This update also addresses a longstanding issue related to filtering future dates. Our objective is to ensure consistent filter behaviour across data types while enhancing usability and minimising confusion for users.

Added commonly requested operators for date filters:

today, tomorrow, yesterday, this week, this quarter, this year, before date, and after date, to the existing set of date operators.

Enhanced email and WhatsApp status operators to better reflect the underlying status criteria and cover additional matching scenarios.

Improved filtering and operators for Numeric fields – added more options.

What’s next:

Continued performance improvements for certain filters, especially string operators like ‘contains’ and ‘is’, for better efficiency and string matching.
