Improved filtering experience in interactive results

The interactive results pane is great, but wouldn't it be cool if you could interact directly with the result pane to do things like filtering.

 

There are a few too many steps with the method at the moment, where you need to either copy the value or type it into the filter pop up. A simple right click and filter on selected value would be a big ux improvement.

hi @cgoodman3 that's an intuitive idea, thanks for your suggestion! As soon as this meets the necessary criteria, we can pass this along to our Product team for review. Keep 'em coming!

@cgoodman3 - you're absolutely right - each of these little "fit and finish" types of polish just gets a little friction out of the user's way - and each one accumulates!

This would be fantastic - and can be drastically inspired by Trifacta.

Similarly, it would be fantastic if the cached result data could be filtered in downstream tools. My example for this is that you:

1. Run a workflow and inspect the results at the end

2. Apply a filter using the results window; the results are filtered and you can see the rows you are interested in

3. You hit the green tick to create a new filter tool, however, you can no longer inspect the results of your filter without running the workflow again, despite that data 'existing'.

 

It would be awesome in these cases to have the ability to see the sampled data still following the filter.
