Dynamic Filter Removal Buttons

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 06:48:53 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to find out if there is an easy way to create dynamic filter removal buttons similar to what happens on sites like bestbuy.com or others that let you filter down for their various products. As you select filters, the buttons appear to allow you to 'X' out of the individual filters in any order you choose. They don't have to be sequentially removed or 'backed' out of.

I know there is a 'current selection' box that can be added but it's not exactly what I'm looking for as it's fairly limited in how you can size it or style it. I'm wanting to be able to put this at the top of all our dashboards and take up a minimal amount of room on the sheets. Any ideas or suggestions?

Easiest to add a clear icon in the listbox where you filter, in the caption tab of the properties check the clear option in the special icons section.

Should you want to create something custom, you can always add a button/text object (optionally with a picture as background) where you set an action to clear a the spoecific field

this can be done, though it would involve a lot of customization if you want it to have the same interaction that you get on best buy page, Enhancing the User Experience Using Conditional Expressions
