Filters are like tags you can apply to your events to assign qualities or groupings to them. You create groups or types of filters ('Filter Groups') and then add different filters to those groups to assign to your events.
Once assigned to your events, those filters determine how your events are displayed internally on your Dashboard and externally on your organization’s Events Website. Filters are also used to give event access to Viewer users on your account.
To add a filter to your event, follow the steps below:
To the right of your dashboard, you'll see an icon that looks like a square composed of bold dots and pale dots. This is our FILTERS icon.
If you click filters icon next to any event, you will see all of the filter groups that have been established by your organization. For example, my organization has created filter groups for campus location, subject and type of event.
To apply filters to a specific event, you would check the box next to all of the relevant filters. For example, I am currently editing my 'Sports Science Symposium' for my organization. It is taking place at the Portland campus, it falls under the 'Medicine' subject / department and it is an event, so I check all of those boxes, then press save.
Please note: If you have an online event that you want people to be able to attend regardless of location, and you have a filter group dedicated to location, make sure you check every location box. This ensures that your event will appear for people who apply the location filter that is relevant to them.
Please note: When filters are applied to a recurrent or series event, the filters are applied to all the events in the set.
When I visit my company's aggregate event website, my filter groups will show up in the top right hand corner.
For example, when I click 'Location' a drop down menu will appear with the options established by my organization in the filter groups.
When I click Portland Campus, the Sports Science Symposium shows up, because I checked the box attaching it to the Portland Campus filter group.
