What is it?
Use filters to quickly search through your content in the application. There are several filters that make it easy for you to narrow down the content and find the information you are looking for. In general, filters appear based on the attributes and rating criteria that you have defined.
Since this can become a lot, it might make sense to enable/disable filters to not overwhelm the users.
How does it work?
Go to the Settings Wheel > Entity Configuration > Entity Configuration. Click on the Edit button of an entity. In the specific entity configuration, you will find the tab Filter Configuration (1).
You now have the option to either disable the filter for a field (2), or re-enable the filter for a field that was previously disabled (3). Besides the General Filters for the different fields active for the respective entity type, you can also enable or disable particular Rating Filters according to your need (4).
Please note: Disabling filters will disable the filter option globally across all visualizations/modules. Furthermore, the rating criteria cannot be deactivated!
Note: If the underlying field of a filter is in use in the Radar or Matrix configuration, or utilized in a widget configuration for a landing page widget, the filter cannot be disabled.
You may make use of the drag and drop icon (5) to arrange the filter in your desired order. The order defined from the Filter Configuration will apply to the particular entity type specific filter section, e.g. on the Explorer or single-entity visualizations. Hereby, the filters that are ordered to the top of the Filter Configuration table will be reflected first in the respective filter section. Note that the rating slider filters will though always be shown above the general filters, respectively entity type-specific filters. Furthermore, the system will automatically ensure that segment field filters, number field filters, and date field filters are still visualized together, though the respective filter item might have been rearranged via the drag and drop action in the Filter Configuration. Besides, similarly to the General Filters, the order can be defined for the rating slider filters by navigating to the Rating Filters (4) tab and utilizing the same drag and drop action (5). However, be aware that the order defined for the rating filters will also be reflected in the order of the ratings within the Rating Configuration, and vice versa. Also, note that the order of filters remains unaffected if a filter is disabled and/or re-enabled, while if an underlying field of a filter is disabled from the Field Configuration and later on re-enabled, the respective filter will be appended to the end of the filter list.
