Filter List Widget
This type of widget belongs to the EasyVista category in the widget library. Connected to an EasyVista data source, it enables you to display a list of dynamic filters selected among the filters 
associated with the parent query of the data source.
Notes
See General information on widgets
- In execute mode:
- The filters will apply to all widgets in the app using the same EasyVista data source as the one defined for the Filter List widget, e.g. Dashboard widget or Data Viewer widget.
- Users will only be able to see the filters they are authorized to access based on their profile.
- The default filter in the EasyVista data source is automatically displayed in the list of filters and cannot be deleted.
Best practice
- You use the Filter List widget to enable users to consult data using a list of dynamic filters and a Search Filter widget to enable users to filter the data using a dynamic search field.
- You can combine these two widgets in a given app when they are both linked to the same EasyVista data source.
Examples
Example2
- Run a search combining a Search Filter widget and a Filter List widget pointing to the same EasyVista data source.
| Enter the keyword, failure, to search for incidents using the Search Filter widget (1). The Bar Chart widget and Data Viewer widget pointing to the same EasyVista data source will automatically be refreshed. | Select the Open filter in the list of incidents to display only those that are open using the Filter List widget (2). Both widgets will automatically be refreshed. |
