Managing the Display of your Filters

Feature Purpose:

Provides the organiser with the flexibility to customise how filters are displayed to users on your website. This allows the organiser to set filters as desired, in multiple languages, and provides flexibility in displaying specific filters, either on specific tabs (eg. interests on the buyers tab) or to specific user categories (eg. VIPs may need deeper searching capability)

Working with this Feature:

Navigate to Event Setup → “Display Filters”

Available options:

• Move filters by dragging them

• Rename their label in as many languages as you have set up in General Settings

• Turn off visibility

• Display only specific categories

This can be set up for each tab of the directory: Delegates, Speakers, Buyers, Exhibitors, Pavilions, Products, Brands, Sessions (the same settings will work for On-Demand), Groups, and News. The page for which you’re setting filters is displayed at the top of the page. To set filters for another page simply click on the relevant tab.

Filter Logic (AND / OR):

• Within one filter (OR): selecting multiple choices within a filter returns “or” results. For example, selecting two countries in the Countries filter shows users from either country.

• Across different filters (AND): using two distinct filters together returns “and” results. For example, selecting a value in Participant Categories and a value in Countries shows only users who match both.

Important Points to Note:

Filter availability:

• The following filters are only available on the web and not in the app. For these filters changes will be applicable only on the web:

  • Meeting availability

  • Existing Meeting Initiator

  • Existing Meeting Status

Filter order:

• If unmodified, the initial filter order will be the following, with all filters turned ON:

  • Participants: Countries/Participant Categories/Custom filters/Activity Categories/Interest Categories/Tags.

  • Speakers: Countries/Participant Categories/Custom filters/Activity Categories/Interest Categories/Session Tags/Session Types/Speaker Tags.

  • Buyers: Countries/Buyer Categories/Custom filters/Activity Categories/Interest Categories/Tags.

  • Exhibitors: New/Hall/Exhibitor Categories/Product Categories/Countries/Tags/Head office, Pavilion (only available for Web)

  • Pavilions: New/Hall/Exhibitor Categories/Product Categories/Countries/Tags

  • Products: With samples/Sample available at/Launch/Hall/Exhibitor Categories/ProductCategories/Countries/Tags

  • Brands: Hall/Exhibitor Categories/Product Categories/Countries/Tags

  • Sessions: Tracks/Tags/Types

  • Groups (when used): Tags/Categories/Publicity

  • News: Archive/Tags/Categories

Custom Filters

• If using custom filters, these will be present instead of the standard Activity and Interest filters

Meeting Availability filter:

• When activated, this filter only displays users on the front end who have not yet reached their limit of confirmed meetings, as set under User Category (Participant and Exhibitor). For how onsite and online limits are combined, see Meeting Availability Filter.

Additional Filter Options:

Filter toggles:

• The "New" filter for Exhibitors and the "Launch" and "With Samples" filters for Products can be toggled on or off. However, it's important to note that their placement cannot be changed from the top.

Search bar within category filters:

• A search field can be added inside category filters on the front end, using the “Search Within Filters” toggle on the Categories page (under Networking & Matchmaking). See Search Within Filters for details.
