Filter information

The "Filter information" element is part of the category "Filter" element.

It gives information on the state of the filter applied to a dependent element, e.g. when a value selection list filters a dependent view table. The filter information will then display a button with the filter currently active, e.g. Category A or B. Clicking on this button will deactivate the filter.

 

The filter information can be found in the "Elements" section of the "Applications" module. A new filter information can be created by dragging and dropping the element from here and positioning it on the workspace.

All the information for creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of the filter information opens automatically when a new filter information is created. The properties dialog of an existing filter information can be opened with a double-click on the element on the workspace, via the context menu "Properties", or via the main menu "Edit/Properties" if the filter information is selected on the workspace.

Synchronize with dependency

This setting has the effect that the filter information will then always be refreshed when an existing dependency is run on the page. If you choose this setting and then select the desired dependency in the drop-down list, the event controls and the displayed controls will automatically be placed in this dialog. The settings there will be used from the settings or the selected dependency and will no longer be able to be changed.

The control is updated when the following events occur

If the "Synchronize with dependency" setting is not set, you can define after which events the values in the filter information will be refreshed on this area.
