Filter

What does the pattern do?

  • Supports users in narrowing down.

When should the pattern be used?

  • When users want to restrict their input (e.g. to primary sources) or output (e.g. format).

Recommendation

  • Closely related to parameters. Check which one makes more sense.
  • Use filters that are relevant.
  • Consider which order makes sense, e.g. what is filtered most often, should come first.
