How to create a filter

Creating a search filter for your portal is easy. Choose a metadata field and a filter type, then select a matching icon and text. Mix and match as many filters as you need, and arrange them into groups.
🔧 The interface for creating and editing search filters is currently in the development stage 🔧
Below is a representation of how it will work, the final interface might look a little different. Until this portal feature is ready, our team can configure these portal features behind-the-scenes.
  1. Step 1

    Choose a metadata field

    Allow visitors to filter your collection of data by any metadata field of your choice.

  2. Step 2

    Select a filter type

    Select from up to six varieties of search filters for researchers to use on your portal

  3. Step 3

    Customize the appearance

    Customize the look of your portal search fields by adding an icon, a title, and placeholder example text.

    Filter title

    Placeholder text

  4. Step 4

    Group related filters

    Further customize the search display by grouping related filters together.

Geographic search

Search for data by location

Allow your community to search by geographic location using an interactive map. Zoom into the area where your research is focused by setting a specific center point and zoom level for the map.

Area search - Users can filter your data by a specific geographic area.

Hide map - Want to turn off the map altogether? You can do that too.
