8.6.1 Example Smart Filters

View an example smart filters page.

While a smart filters page behaves similarly to faceted search, it features a more space efficient layout. Smart filter pages include a single search field at the top of the page with filters that display as suggestion chips with counts that show how often a specific value occurs.

The following example shows a smart filters page built on the EMP table. Note the filter suggestion chips that display beneath the Search field.
