1 How to search and sort items

The search bar allows to search 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

In addition to the search, there are several filter options.

The following chapter covers the following regarding filters:

• Create and apply filters
• Reset filters

 

2.1 Create and apply filters

There is one dialog to select filter conditions and to create, save and apply filters.

 

To open the filter dialog, the funnel icon (1) has to be clicked first. 

By clicking the Add filter button (2), filter conditions can be selected.

 

The individual filter conditions can be added from a drop-down menu (1).

 

The dialog allows to add multiple filter conditions, with the total number of filter conditions (1) displayed above. Time ranges are defined by clicking the calendar symbol (2). 

 

At this point, the filter conditions either be applied immediately by clicking in an empty space (1) outside of the filter dialog, or the filter configuration can be saved, which will be explained in the following.

 

Filters are reset by opening the filter dialog (1) and clicking the Reset filter button (2).

 

In order to use the selected filter conditions long-term, they can be saved:

 

Via the My filters drop-down menu (1), filters can be saved by clicking Save filter as (2).

 

In this dialog, the filter can be given a name.

 

The filter can now be selected from the drop-down menu, where it appears along with the other filters.

 

2.2 Reset filters

Applying and resetting the filter works the same way as for unsaved filter conditions.

 

By clicking into an empty space (1) outside of the filter dialog, the selected filter is applied.

The selected filter will also be visible above (2). 

 

Filters are reset by opening the filter dialog (1) and clicking the Reset filter button (2).

 

2.3 Add filters to favorites

Filters can also be added to favorites, facilitating the reuse of frequently used filters.

 

By clicking the star icon (1), filters can be added to favorites.

 

2.4 Delete filters

The filter dialog also allows to delete filters that are no longer needed.

 

Filters can be deleted from the filter dialog by clicking the bin icon (1).

 

Users will then be asked to confirm the action.

 

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.
