What is a View Filter

In the settings of each view it is possible to select a filter, if there are filters defined at "Manage -> Filters". Choosing a filter in the view setting "filter", changes the view in the following way:

  • Only entries, that match the search criteria will be displayed (if present in the filter, they can also stay undefined)
  • The entries will be sorted according to the sort criteria (if present)
  • The number of entries shown per page will be defined by the filter (default for a view without filter is 50 entries per page)

When applying a filter to a view via the view settings it is currently the "advanced filter", is not visible for users.
