Descriptions of Setup Fields
Column - Select the column you'd want to filter down your data with.
Component - This determines the visual input field that users are interacting with, such as a plain-text Input where they can type in a value, or a Select Dropdown displaying a list of possible values.
Note: By default, the 'Select Dropdown' type, the available filter values are autogenerated based on the unique values in your data source, but can be disabled through the 'Prevent Auto Populated Values' switch if required.
Operator - Determine the operator used for comparing data. Most of the time, though dependant on the data source type, you'll want to use Equals or Contains, depending whether you want an exact match or a partial match.

Icon - Choose an icon that will be displayed with the filter that best represents the type of data being filtered.
Default Value - Set up a default value for the UI component which can be replaced by another user input if they wish. The value used here can be a static or dynamic value.
