Configurable Filters in Menus and Landing Pages
-----------------------------------------------

.. _19.1.1|VOSS-491:

Use **Configurable Filters** to open the dialog to enter one or more filter options.
If more than one filter is added, this results in a logical AND of the filter
application.

* **Filter By** - attributes of the selected Type can be selected from the
  drop-down list.
* **Filter Type** - select the matching operator to apply when the attribute
  is matched to the **Filter String** value:

  * Contains
  * Does Not Contain
  * Starts With
  * Ends With
  * Equals
  * Not Equal
* **Filter String** - select the value that the matching operator should
  match by.
* **Ignore Case** - check box to manage the case of the **Filter String** value.

When the menu item or landing page link is then selected, a pop-up filter box is
displayed and the administrator is prompted to apply or modify the filter. If a
**Filter String** value is entered on **Configurable Filters**, this value can
also then be accepted or modified in the pop up box.

The list view of the results footer row indicates that a filter
has now been applied to the list and this filter can then be further modified and
removed from the list view as usual - see "Filtering Lists". 


.. important::
   Standard list view filters on model types (for example if accessible by other
   landing pages or menu items) can still be used as described in "Filtering Lists",
   but these will be removed and replaced by any Configurable Filters on landing
   page links or menu items for the corresponding model type.


Fixed Filters
.............

Only high-level administrators can add and modify pre-defined **Fixed Filters**
to menus and landing pages. For these administrators, this option also shows on
the Menu Layout and Landing Page design input forms and presents the same
interface options as Configurable Filters.

These filters are not visible to the lower level administrators and will *always*
apply when the menu item or landing page link is used by them. Fixed filter results
can however be filtered further by Configurable Filters.
