Using Selected Refinements

How the refinements are displayed

Each refinement displays as a collapsible section on the component.

For attribute value selections, the refinement displays the attribute name as a heading.

For negative refinements (refining data to show records that do NOT have the selected value), the negative refinement icon is displayed in front of the attribute value.

If multiple values for an attribute are selected, they are displayed in sequential order. Depending on the number of records selected, the list may be collapsed by default.

For a hierarchical attribute value, the refinement may include all of the ancestor values.

For range filters, the refinement contains the selected range of values.

For date/time values, the refinement lists the values selected for each date/time subset separately.

For search term values, the heading indicates that the value is a search term.

If the search function made an automatic spelling correction, it is included in the refinement.

The refinement may also include a "did you mean" option to suggest a search term that closely matches the specified term:

If a data set has a base filter, then the attribute value for the filter may be displayed as a refinement on the Selected Refinements component. A base filter refinement cannot be removed, and so does not display a delete icon. If you can change the value selected for the base filter attribute, then a drop-down list icon is displayed next to the value.

Removing refinements

From the Selected Refinements component, to remove a single refinement, click the delete icon for that refinement. For attributes that have multiple values selected, you can either remove a single value or all of the values.

You cannot remove refinements from base filters.

For hierarchical attributes, to filter by an ancestor value, click the ancestor value.

Filters that are not visible on the Selected Refinements component always remain in place.
