This is more of a vent than a cry for help. If the only possible way to filter data is to filter directly on the data source, this makes filtering impossible if multiple users are using the app. This limitation is very frustrating. The thunkable developers should have already overcome this challenge. It’s not such a cheap platform for those of us who subscribe and it does not have such a basic feature.

Hello @pborgesagirjf27eu  
It is possible to filter a data source.  
You can find more information about filter view in our docs: [Data Sources | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/data-sources#add-filter-view)

But I do not want to filter in the data source! This looks ridiculous when we have multiple users, because whenever one user filters the data it filters to all of them.

Btw, I do not have the option “Filter View” even that I was able to create it.

Hi Ioannis,

Now that I am using **Drag and Drop** interface, I do not have the Push Notification component. How could I set Push Notification then?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi @pborgesagirjf27eu,  
On the DnD interface, you can find the Push Notifications on the blocks tab without adding a component.
