What the visual query builder is for
The visual query builder helps you build filters and query options without hand-authoring every field in JSON. It is useful when you need to:- add filters incrementally
- inspect how the query is being built
- move between guided controls and raw query JSON
Typical workflow
- Open a collection.
- Switch to the query builder.
- Add filter conditions and sort rules.
- Apply the query.
- Review the resulting document set.
Good use cases
- debugging application state
- exploring startup operational collections
- checking records by user, status, region, or timestamp
