Filter by business conditions

Filter rows through business conditions outside the table, such as a Show incomplete orders switch.

Integration steps

1. Define a business condition

   For example, add an app switch hiding completed orders. The current preview does not include this external switch.

2. Connect a row predicate

   Connect externalFilter to code determining whether it is active and whether each row passes. Compare source status values rather than cell text.

3. Notify condition changes

   Call refreshExternalFilter() when users change the switch. Recalculate even when only conditions inside the same filter object change.

External conditions can combine with column filters and order search. Decide which conditions to clear when returning to the full view.
