# Applying table data filters

Apply data filters to your app to limit what information shows from your data source to your app. When applying these filters, only **records that meet these conditions** will be visible in your table.

## Apply table data filter

To restrict the records that are pulled into Stacker from a particular table, you need to apply data filters to that table.

1. Click **Manage fields and data**
2. Select the table you would like to add the data filter on
3. Click **Settings** on the top right
4. Expand the data filter section of the window.
5. Click on '**Add Condition'** and select which field you'd like to base your filter on.
6. Specify the condition you'd like fields to meet to be visible in the app.
7. Click **Save**

Data filters apply to you as an admin as well as your users. If you'd like to just restrict which records your users can access, you should use Stacker's permissions feature.
