Filter settings

Open a filter on the Filters tab to see its settings. Every filter has:

FieldWhat it does
LabelThe heading shown above the filter.
Filter NameThe name used in the filter's shortcode. Leave it empty to use one based on the label.
Select typeThe widget.
Included AttributeThe index attribute to filter on, for widgets that need one.

Preselect values​

Refinement List, Menu and Menu Select can start with values already selected. Switch on Preselect Refinements? and pick them: one for a menu, any number for a refinement list.

Rename facet values​

Facet values come straight from your index, so they're sometimes not the words you want visitors to see: beginner instead of "Beginner", or a term slug instead of its name. Switch on Rename Facet Values? and add a row for each value, with the Old Facet Value and its New Facet Value Label.

Sort facet values​

Under Facet Value Sort, choose how the values are ordered:

  • Count (default): most results first
  • Label ASC: A to Z
  • Label DESC: Z to A

Give a filter its own shortcode​

Switch on Generate Shortcode to place the filter on its own, anywhere on the page:

[tgbl_searchsync_filter view="your-view" name="your-filter-name"]

Grouped filters and accordions​

Filters without their own shortcode are shown together by the grouped filter shortcode:

[tgbl_searchsync_filter view="your-view"]

Under Grouped Filter Display, switch on Display as accordion to show each grouped filter as a collapsible panel, then choose:

  • Multiple open panels: whether more than one panel can be open at once
  • Open by default: None, First or All
  • Accordion icon: Chevron up/down or Plus / Minus
