The Filter portlet allows for customized filter lists and buttons to apply towards other portlets. With this portlet, one can choose from a pre-configured list of values or manually type in a value to send a filter request with the chosen criteria.
General data is required for all portlets.
The portlet can send the following events:
OnFilter
OnRowSelection
Order - Set if the filter should be displayed horizontally or vertically.
Send Filter command on Clear - if checked the values in the Filter portlet will be cleared followed by a Filter command sent to all listening portlets. If the box is left un-checked the Filter portlets values will be cleared but no command will be sent to the listening portlets.
