App Builder landing page filters apps using an AND condition when an OR would be useful

owenbondin Public · Sep 17 2026

Idea Summary
Currently, the App Builder Applications page combines multiple filters using AND logic only. This makes it difficult to locate or compare multiple related applications when an application may match one of several search criteria rather than all of them.

Please enhance the Applications page to support OR-based filtering, either by allowing users to choose how filters are combined or by exposing a filter expression editor similar to those available in standard Interactive Reports.

For example, when searching for applications with aliases containing "App_1" or "App_2", the current behaviour only returns applications that contain both terms. Supporting OR logic would allow developers to view all relevant applications in a single search and avoid running multiple separate searches.

Use Case
Developers and workspace administrators often work across multiple applications rather than a single application.

Common scenarios include:

  • Comparing implementations between two or more applications.
  • Locating all applications belonging to a particular business area where different naming conventions are used.
  • Finding applications that match one of several aliases, prefixes, owner names, or keywords.
  • Switching frequently between a changing set of active projects where creating and maintaining saved reports is not practical.
  • Performing impact analysis or code reviews across multiple related applications.

The current AND-only behaviour is useful for progressively narrowing a search to a single application, but it does not support broader discovery or comparison activities where OR logic is more appropriate.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Implement one of the following options:

  1. Add a simple Match All / Match Any setting for App Builder filters.
    • Match All = current AND behaviour.
    • Match Any = OR behaviour.
  2. Allow users to define a filter expression, similar to Interactive Reports, for example:
    • 1 OR 2
    • (1 OR 2) AND 3

This would preserve existing functionality while providing additional flexibility for developers working across multiple applications.

This idea is open.
