Which section of an Aggregate is used to define filters for specific records?

Filters in an Aggregate are essential for refining the data that you retrieve from your data sources. When defining an Aggregate in OutSystems, the Filters section is specifically designed to allow developers to set criteria that limit the records returned by the Aggregate. This capability is crucial for operations requiring precise datasets, such as when you want to display information that meets particular conditions or parameters.

By using the Filters section, developers can specify conditions based on the fields in the data model to ensure that only the desired records are included in the output of the Aggregate. This can involve conditions like equality, inequality, or more complex logical operations that help in creating a refined dataset suited for the application's needs.

While other sections like Output records define what fields will be included in the results and Sources specify where the data is coming from, they do not have the functionality to apply conditions directly to the data. Test Values, on the other hand, are used for debugging purposes to simulate data during the development phase but do not influence the records that the Aggregate retrieves. Thus, the Filters section is the correct component for defining specific criteria that narrow down the scope of the data being queried.
