Filter forms allow the user to apply filters to interactive views (e.g. data tables, data lists, reports etc.).

== Framework ==

The framework for filter forms consists of 3 core components:

'''Client-side:'''
  - a script to collect all values from filter widgets and convert them into a URL query

'''Server-side:'''
  - the REST interface to interpret and apply the URL query as resource filter
  - a form builder to render the filter form and prepopulate it with the values from the URL query
