Simple filters are the filters you have used in previous exercises. Follow these steps to review their features:

  1. Go to EntityServices instance associated with the "Invoice" transaction.
  2. Go to the "WorkWith" node, find the "GridColumns" node and add "CustomerFirstName" "CustomerLastName", "CountryName" and "CityName" attributes.
  3. Go to the "CountryName" node and set the "Description" property to "Country" and to "CityName" node and set the "Description" property to "City".
  4. In the Filters node add a "Filter Attribute" with "Name" and "Based On" property as "InvoiceCode"
  5. Repeat step 4 with "CustomerFirstName" instead of "InvoiceCode".
