Filtering components allow users to search, refine, and filter the
data displayed in other components.
Available Refinements
Allows users to filter data to only include specific attribute values
or ranges of values from a selected data set. The selected values or ranges are
added to the
Selected Refinements component that is tied to
the same data set.
The
Available Refinements component configuration
includes:
- The data for which to
display available refinements.
Available Refinements components are always
tied to a data set base view.
- The attribute groups and
attributes to include
- For some attributes,
whether to use a value list or a range filter to select the refinement
- Whether to allow negative
refinements, to search for records that do NOT have a selected value
- For value lists, the
number of values to display
- For range filters, the
histogram size and minimum and maximum values
Search Box
Allows users to filter data using a search. When users perform a
search, the search term is added to the
Selected Refinements component for the
appropriate data set.
As users type, they may be prompted to select a matching attribute
value, or just search for the entered text.
The
Search Box component configuration includes:
- The available search
options. There can be a search option for each combination of data set and
search interface.
- For each data set, whether
to provide type-ahead suggestions as users type the search term
- For each search option:
- Whether to allow
keyword searches
- The rule for
determining a match
- The page to display
when the search is executed
Selected Refinements
Tracks the attribute values and search terms that have been used to
filter the data from a selected data set.
Users can then remove items from the list of current filters.
The
Selected Refinements component configuration
includes:
- The data for which to
display refinements.
Selected Refinements components are always
tied to a base view, and display refinements for those base view attributes,
regardless of what view those attributes are used in.
- Whether to collapse by
default lists of multiple values selected from the same attribute.
