1 How to search and sort items

The search bar allows to search for specific items and is complemented by the sort function.

By entering terms in the search bar (1), the results shown below are narrowed down accordingly, depending on how specific the entered terms are.

 

Items can be sorted based on different categories (1) in both an ascending and descending order (2).

 

2 How to filter items

The search is further complemented by the filter function.

 

To activate a filter, the funnel icon has to be clicked first. 

 

A plus icon will appear next. By clicking it, a dialog for selecting filter conditions will open. 

 

In this dialog, there is an overview of the filter conditions, which can be added by clicking plus (1).

Conditions can also be searched by using the search bar (2).

 

In the next step, the selected filter conditions (1) can be specified, e. g. by choosing a time range (framed).

Then, the information has to be confirmed by clicking the Confirm button (2).

NOTE

It is possible to select and apply multiple conditions for one filter.

 

 

 

The selected filter conditions (in this case, one filter condition) will be visible above (1). 

The created filter can be saved by opening the My filters drop-down menu (2) and clicking the Save filter as (3), leading to the dialog where the filter name can be defined.

 

In this dialog, the filter can be given a name (1), which is saved by clicking the Confirm button (2).

 

As a result, the filter will appear in the My filters dropdown menu (1) and can be applied to the search results by clicking on it (2).

By clicking the star icon (framed), the filter can be set as default, which means the filter will be set the next time the corresponding tab is entered. By clicking the bin icon (framed), the filter can be deleted.

 

Now the results are displayed according to the filter.

The filtered search results can now be sorted if needed, following the procedure explained in chapter 1.

 

There is an alternative way to apply the filter:

 

The filter can also be applied immediately after selecting the conditions (1) by clicking Show results (2) first. 

The filter can be saved (3) afterwards via the drop down menu, as described previously.

 

Filters can be deactivated two ways: 

 

The filter can be deactivated by clicking the funnel icon (1), which it was activated with in the beginning.

 

As an alternative, the filter can be deactivated by clicking the reset button (1).

 

3 How to display items

There are different views to display items. In addition, the number of items per page and the page of the search results can be selected.

 

3.1 Views

There is a title and a list view to display items. The two views differ in the informational focus they set and in the amount of information they display.

Here is an overview of where the title and list view can be selected:

1. Title view

2. List view

3.1.1 Title view

The title view is selected by default and displays the information about an item centered around its title. It generally provides a more brief overview of items.

The individual pieces of information are contained in various columns, with one column containing multiple information.

3.1.2 List view

This view is based on information categories instead of individual items. It provides a broader overview than the title view.

The columns (framed) are named after information categories.

According to the category a piece of information belongs to, it is placed into the corresponding column. This is applied across all listed items.

3.2 Select number of items and page

Users can decide how many contents are displayed per page. If the search results do not fit on one page, they are displayed within multiple pages.

By opening the drop-down menu (1), the number of items displayed per page can be selected. 

By clicking  (2), the previous page can be selected. Clicking (3) leads the first page. 

By clicking (4), the next page can be selected. Clicking (5) leads to the last page.
