Hi Windsor Team,
I am writing to propose a feature enhancement for the query builder. Currently, if I want to filter data by a specific dimension, I am required to include that dimension in the “Selected Fields” section.
The Problem:
This often leads to cluttered datasets in my destination (Google Sheets/Looker Studio), as I have to pull in columns that I don’t actually want to visualize just to ensure the filter logic is applied.
The Proposal:
I would like the ability to apply filters to any available dimension, regardless of whether it is included in the “Selected Fields” list. This would allow for “Background Filtering”, where the API query handles the exclusion of data at the source level without requiring the dimension to be part of the final output.
Benefit:
Cleaner, more focused data exports.
Reduced API payload and faster processing for large datasets.
Better user experience for building streamlined dashboards.
