View as Markdown

Filters show only items that match criteria such as 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
  • Slug
  • Item ID
  • Status
  • Publish State
  • Archive
  • Draft
  • Published (date)
  • Updated (date)
  • Created (date)

Use Is for an exact Item ID, or Contains when you only have part of it. Slug and Item ID filters also work in an advanced filter.

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

Filter operators

Common operators include:

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 for 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.
