    Hi Anonymous 

    This can be achieve using bookmarks. 

    You can create one bookmark by adding advance filter as starts with on serial_number column 

    and add one more bookmark without filter for "off" condition

     

    Now you add two buttons one for on and one for off. Put action type as bookmark and select respective bookmark for your button action

     

    Thanks

OK I figured it out. Had to go to the View menu and select "Filters" and "Bookmarks" to display these 2 panes. Then with the table selected, expand the "serial_number" filter in the filters pane. Select "advanced filtering" then "starts with" then add "XWW", then switch to the bookmarks pane and hit "Add" which will create a bookmark with this filter "on". Do the same for the "off" state. Then add the related buttons by going to the "Insert" menu and select "Buttons" and "Blank" and create the button with whatever text and choose "Bookmark" as the button type in the "Actions" section. So intuitive.
