Filtering Settings

The Filtering Settings section is the fifth of six sections on the Configure Rollup Engine Provider step of the Lightning Conductor 2010 Configuration Wizard.

On the Lightning Conductor Web Part, there are two different types of filters that you can configure;

• Persistent: The persistent filters are set by the person who is configuring the Web Part using the Columns Configuration section on the Configure Display Provider step. Persistent filters limits the items of data that is seen to each user that visits the page. The Web Part can then be configured to allow users to dynamically filter the items using the columns displayed within the Web Part. It is worth pointing out that you cannot set persistent filter on every column type. This is a Microsoft® SharePoint® restriction and not a restriction of the Lightning Conductor Web Part.
  
  
• Dynamic. Dynamic filters are applied when users use the Web Part’s filter icon . Dynamic filtering is enabled, that is, the filter icon is displayed, when one of the dynamic filtering radio buttons is selected in the Filtering Settings section and the Hide Dynamic Filtering Controls check box is not selected, in the Miscellaneous section on the Configure Display Provider step.
  
  
  

The following options are available in the Filtering Settings section on the Configure Rollup Engine Provider step:

1. Select one of the following radio buttons:
   
   
   

• Select Use Only Persistent Filters to allow all users see the same filtered values. Users can not use the dynamic filtering capabilities of the Web Part. This is the default setting.
  
  
• Select Use Only Dynamic Filters when you want all items displayed, and that users will then use the Web Part’s filter icon to limit the items displayed on the page, that is, ignore any persistent filter settings selected on the Configure Display Provider step.
  
  
• Select Use Both Persistent and Dynamic Filters to use a combination of persistent filters and dynamic filters. The persistent filter is used first by the Web Part to display a subset of items from the rollup source. The user can then use the Web Part’s filter icon to further limit the items displayed.
  
  
• Select Ignore All Filters to display all items from the rollup source, that is, the persistent filter settings selected on the Configure Display Provider step are ignored and users cannot use dynamic filters.
  

2. Select the check box to ignore filters if the column does not exist. This is the default setting.
