Hi Matt,

The filter option is not apart of the standard button bar and is something that is unique to datasets via the study module.

However, you could construct your own buttons and use your own code while leveraging our Javascript APIs to build something yourself that could provide similar functionality as the dataset filtering you're looking to have on non-dataset tables:
