What does the Knack Filter Sort skill do?

It provides a standardized way for Claude to generate Knack-compatible JSON filters and sort objects, ensuring efficient data retrieval from the Knack API.

Can I use this for complex reporting requirements?

Yes, the skill includes specific logic for grant reporting, quarterly date ranges, and multi-condition boolean logic required for compliance standards like NCDIT.

What field types are supported by the filtering logic?

It supports a wide range of fields including text (contains, starts with), numbers (comparisons), dates (is during, is after), and boolean values.

How does this skill improve Knack dashboard performance?

By implementing filtering at the API level instead of the client-side, it significantly reduces the size of data payloads, leading to faster load times and less memory consumption.
