Common Filter Settings

For the creation of a filter, only two things must be checked, highlighted in red. Other settings could be useful but can be left as is or empty.

Field

Leave as is!

You can change this to another field if you have changed your mind and wish to add a different field to the Filters.
Edits here could be accessing specific field information e.g. field.en / field.lat. See fields for details.

Enable filter

Select this checkbox if you would like this field displayed as a filter in the sidebar of the Channel.

Enable search suggestions

Select or deselect this checkbox to enable Picturepark to display search suggestions for users searching in this channel and/or for search suggestions in the filter.

Enable search in filter

Enable or disable the search for each field in the sidebar for the filter. Please note this is also dependent on the values to display, the search will only appear in conjunction with the show more option.

Search Fields

Here you can set a field that should be used for the search. For Channel or List Items these fields values are used for suggestions. Picturepark will only show suggestions for Filters which have Search Fields. For a tagbox filter based on tagbox._refid you want to add a text field e.g. tagbox.name so users can search for tags instead of Ids.

  • Add if you want the values as search suggestions in Content Browser and List Item Browser. 
  • Add a field from the Tagbox list if you have a Tagbox Filter based on the refId. 

Without configuration, the field of the filter will be used and the Filters will not be considered for suggestions. 

Exclude values

You can leave this empty.

Here you can exclude a value that you do not wish to appear in the current filter or suggestion. RegEx is supported here, otherwise, strings must match values from the filter field. When set all filters excluding the ones defined will show up. When you define a term e.g. "Apple" Picturepark will look for the exact match in the values of the filter field, so "apple" or "app*" will not work. 

Example: Show all file types, exclude: Audio
Example: Show all usages, exclude: Internal

If your filter field is set to a refId or ID you have to exclude the IDs here. The terms will not work. 

Include values

You can leave this empty.

Here you can include values that you do wish to appear in the current filter or suggestion. RegEx is supported here, otherwise, strings must match values from the filter field. When set all filters included here will show up, no others. When you define a term e.g. "Apple" Picturepark will look for the exact match in the values of the filter field, so "apple" or "app*" will not work. 

If you use a wildcard here you can only have one, not multiple values e.g. You have a Filter on a text field linked to brand names and you add a wildcard value like "Picture*". Then you cannot add additional values.  

If your filter field is set to a refId or ID you have to include the IDs here. The terms will not work. 

Values to display

You can leave as is. The default is 10.

This determines how many values are displayed in the Content Browser filters per default before the "Show More" button is displayed.

Sort

Select how to order the filter items of the filter:

  • Item count descending

  • Alphabetically ascending*

  • Alphabetically descending*

Sorting is only available for filters terms and termsrelation.

Sort field *alphabetically only

Select the field values that should be used e.g. the name or the synonym.
