Is it possible to add filters inside the admin interface.  
From the documentation I know it is possible to define or request filtered collection sets.

However to easily edit and have an overview of a subset of collection based on a filter I would also like to be able to apply a filter within in the backend Admin UI.

E.g. based on a field, tag or linkedCollection.

Is the something that can easily be added to the Cockpit Admin UI and if so, where can I find documentation on how to go about implementing this?

Hi,

right now the filter in the admin ui searches only text based fields. I plan to provide an enhanced search functionality based on field types which you can also save as presets.

But this will take some time as I have a lot of other things on my todo list right now.
