Interactive Filters

All filter types support an optional interactive mode, rendering (completely customizable) end-user filtering controls right into the Web Part.

Text Filters

Text filters, the simplest of all filter types, let you (or optionally your users) specify any filter value into a text box.

Choice Filters

Choice filters let you (or optionally your users) pick the filter value from a list of choices (initially defined by you, or initialized from a Choice column).

Date Filters

Date filters let you (or optionally your users) enter or pick an absolute or relative date filter value.

List Lookup Filters

List Lookup Filters are very powerful filters that obtain the filter value from live List data, either automatically according to your specified rules, or interactively by picking from the List.

User Filters

User Filters let you or your users pick a user filter value to send.

Page Column Filter

Page Column Filters derive the filter value dynamically from the value of any specified Document Library Column associated with the Web Part Page.

Page Request Filters

Page Request Filters derive the filter value from the current Web Part Page HTTP request context, that is, depending on your setup, from the URL query string, the URL path, posted form data, cookies or server-side variables.

SQL Data Filters

SQL Data Filters obtain the filter value from live data inside any ADO.NET-compatible data source (including all major relational databases), either automatically according to your specified query, or interactively by picking from the result set.

BDC Business Data Filters

BDC Filters obtain the filter value from live data inside any Business Data Catalog (BDC) application, either automatically according to your specified instance, or interactively by picking from the entity choices.

Interactive Filter Settings

All applicable filter types optionally support an interactive mode, so you can let your users change filter values on the fly, with a powerful and completely customizable user experience.
