Lay Out Fields on a Filter Portlet

Use this procedure after you have created the filter portlet and its fields to determine the placement of the fields within the filter portlet when it is rendered on a portlet page.

The displayed list order of fields is how the fields appear in the Section view on a portlet page. If the Toolbar view is selected for the filter portlet, the fields display in a different order. The left column is equivalent to the top row and the right column is equivalent to the bottom row on the portlet. The left and right columns represent where the fields display on the portlet page.

To determine the layout fields on a filter portlet

1. With the filter portlet open, click Layout.

   The layout page appears.

2. In the Layout section, move the filter fields to the appropriate column list box by highlighting the fields and clicking the appropriate arrow buttons.

   You can change the order of the fields in the list boxes by highlighting a field and clicking the up and down arrows to move it in the list.

3. Complete the following fields in the Settings section:

   Render As

   Indicates how you want the filter portlet to appear on the published page or dashboard. Select Toolbar or Section. If you select Toolbar, the default filter state is fixed as Expanded.

   Default Filter State

   Indicates whether the filter portlet is to display on the dashboard as expanded or collapsed.

4. Click Save.
