How do I filter multiple tables from the same model based on the same field?

I’m pretty sure that you identified the solution we would reccomend. Make separate models for each type of thing, with the conditions set appropriately so that Table 1 only shows type 1 etc. We have played with ways to use one model but have it filtered differently in separate tables. The problem is that search actions affect every instance of the model and that seems to be negative customer experience. On the other hand, maybe that’s exactly what you want.
