How to limit OData transfer to filter value

Hello,

We are developing an OData feed that our clients will hopefully use Tableau Public (or possibly Desktop) to access. Since our tables can get very large, we don't want to send the entire dataset when the user refreshes. There will be a filter of type "Compact List" so that what is displayed in the table is always only limited to the selected filter value. How do we get Tableau to send an OData query which includes the filter so that only the filtered values get transferred across the internet connection?

Thanks in advance,

Makram
