Filter Pages for Filtering Tables using FILTERPAGEBUILDER

In C/AL code, you can use the FILTERPAGEBUILDER data type to create a filter page that enables users to set filters on multiple tables. Filter pages contains one or more filter controls, where each filter control can be used to set filters on a specific table. In the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client, filter pages are generated at runtime and run in a modal dialog box.

For demo purpose I have created a List page on Item Table. I have added below Variables and Code on Page.
