Question: What is the purpose of implementing an app filter? Answer: The purpose of implementing an app filter is to ensure that specific data access is controlled based on client requirements, while preventing end users from modifying the filter settings. For instance, in a retail analytics application, an app filter could be used to restrict access to sales data by region, allowing regional managers to view only the data relevant to their territories without the ability for individual store managers to alter the filter criteria. Question: How can we create an app filter? Answer: Please follow the steps outlined below.
