Looking at your requirement, the default datagrid search will already allow you to do that.

Have you tried that. Any problems in using that?

- You can have Text box to filter based on some attribute

- A drop down in filter can have multi-selection option already (https://docs.mendix.com/refguide7/drop-down-search-field#allow-multi-select)

Hi Sunil,

I recomend you to make a microflow that controls the data you recieve in your grid. Place a dataview outside the grid and fill the form with your search parameters.

Instead the dropdown, place a listview with the different options you have in dropdown through an entity. Then, place a checkbox that will contain different options you list in your filter and set a conditional visibility to the checkbox with boolean.
