Getting started
Your first query
This guide walks you through building a nested filter and running it against sample data. It takes about five minutes.
1. Open the builder
Go to the builder. You will see a dot-grid canvas with one empty condition card and a sidebar on the right.
2. Add two simple conditions
- Select data source Users in the Details tab (if not already selected).
- Rule 1:
Age→Greater Than→18 - Click + Add condition
- Rule 2:
Country→Equals→Nigeria
The group chip should read AND — both rules must match.
3. Add a nested OR group
- Click + Add group and set the new group to OR.
- Inside it, add:
Status=active - Add another condition:
Purchases>10
Your logic is now:
(age > 18 AND country = 'Nigeria') OR (status = 'active' AND purchases > 10)
4. Preview and run
- Open the Query sidebar tab — SQL updates as you type.
- Switch format to MongoDB or GraphQL to see other outputs.
- Open Results and click Execute.
Execute only works when status is Valid in the Details tab. See the validation guide for what blocks a run.
5. Save your work
- Ctrl+S — save a snapshot to the Activity tab
- Export — download query JSON from the header
- Quick presets — name and save reusable templates in the Details tab
