Customize the Filters to Display

The Filters panel in the left-hand panel of the Find user interface lists a set of filters that your users can use to refine their searches. You can modify the available set of filters by using the configuration options listed in the following table.

Filter Description Configuration Option
Databases Lists the data indexes (databases) for your data. enableIndexesFilter
Dates Lists the dates that you can filter by. enableDatesFilter
Document Selection Allows users to manually deselect documents to exclude them (or to deselect all documents and manually reselect the documents to include). enableDocumentSelectionFilter
Geography Lists locations that you can filter by. enableGeographyFilter
Filter search bar A search bar that allows you to search the available filters. enableMetaFilter. See Enable or Disable the Filter Search Bar.

Each configuration option is a JSON object that allows you to modify the available filters for the different Find user roles.

TIP: You can also modify the order the filters are displayed in. See Configure the Order of Filters.

  1. Go to the Find home directory.
  2. Open config.json in a text editor.
  3. Find the uiCustomization section, and the options subsection.
