Manage automated and user applied content filters for current page.

Overview

Filter options can be set to control dynamic content that appears on the page. Filters use the category / taxonomy structure that has been set in the category manager.

There are two types of filter; Permanent and User Applied. Both options can be set for a page. Permanent filters pre-filter any dynamic content that appears on a page. User applied filters can be selected by the user, to further refine the content that is displayed.

In addition, when selecting multiple categories to filter on, for both Permanent and User Applied filters, it is possible to specify their use in combination as AND / OR.  Where AND is selected, content will have to meet the criteria of matching all of the selected categories in the filter. Where OR is selected, content will only have to match one of the categories selected.

In addition, it is possible to specify User Applied filters as Fast Filters, where an additional means of filtering is required.

The final filter option is the Date filter. This option filters content where a Publication Date has been set in Advanced Settings.  A to and from date picker is added into the user applied filter selector.
