filterTool1.png

The Filter Tool is used to filter the displayed dataset of items on the Location Map application. There are two types of filters:

  • Filters that require a reload from the server. These filters will change the data loaded to the application and needs to have the 'Load' button clicked.
  • Filters that automatically update the displayed data. These filters will modify which data is displayed on the map and Items Table, but not what is loaded to the application. This doesn't require the 'Load' button to be clicked and is automatically performed.

The Filter Tool is displayed in two different locations:

  • The launch page upon navigating to the Location Map page. This is designed to set filter parameters before the data is loaded from the server.
  • Through the Filter Tool bar on the application. Clicking this bar will open a modal of the Filter Tool options.
