Filter items

Narrow the items list with structured filters
View as Markdown

Filters let you show only items that match specific criteria — by status, publish state, dates, or collection field values.

Show the filter bar

Click the Toggle filters button in the collection toolbar to show or hide the inline filter bar.

Add a filter

1

Open the filter bar

Click Toggle filters if the filter bar is hidden.

2

Click Filter

Click the Filter button to open the add-filter popover.

3

Choose a property

Search or browse the list. Pick a metadata field or a collection schema field.

4

Set the operator and value

Choose an operator (such as Is, Contains, Is on, Is empty) and enter or select a value.

The filter appears as a chip in the filter bar showing a summary of the condition.

On a phone, the add-filter and value pickers open as bottom sheets instead of popovers, and tapping vs. dragging is tuned for touch. See Use Wicked CMS on your phone.

Built-in metadata filters

You can filter by these standard properties:

  • Name
  • Status
  • Publish State
  • Archive
  • Draft
  • Published (date)
  • Updated (date)
  • Created (date)

Collection field filters

Wicked CMS also builds filters from your collection schema field types, including:

  • Text fields: Contains, Starts with, Ends with, Is empty, etc.
  • Option fields: Is, Is not, Is set, Is empty
  • Switch fields: Is, Is not (Yes/No)
  • Date fields: Is on, Is after, Is before, Is between, Is set, Is not set
  • Reference fields: Is, Is not, Is set, Is empty
  • Multi-reference fields: Contains, Does not contain, Is set, Is not set

Manage active filters

  • Click a filter chip to edit its condition
  • Remove individual filters from the chip menu
  • Click Clear all when two or more filters are active to remove every filter at once

Advanced filter

For multiple conditions joined with And or Or — or more than one condition on the same field — use Advanced filter. In the Filter picker, click Add advanced filter.

Filters work together with search. Items must match both the search query and all active filters.
