Filter

The Filter portlet enables users to apply filters to data displayed in a portal. It allows for dynamic data querying and refinement based on user-defined criteria.

General

General data is required for all portlets, see General.

Events

A filter portlet cannot receive events from other portlets. However, it can send events to portlets, and these will be shown in this section. See Events for more information.

Settings

• Order: Select the filter layout: Horizontal or Vertical.

• Send Filter Command on Clear: Set to true if a filter command should be sent when the user clicks 'Clear.' When enabled, both the filter portlet’s selection and the selection of the portlet receiving the event command will be cleared. If not enabled, only the filter portlet’s selection will be cleared.
