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! |
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.
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. Example: Show all file types, exclude: Audio 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. 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. |
Sort | Select how to order the filter items of the filter:
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. |
