Your view can expose a filter to your site visitors, allowing them to interact with the data in the view.

The following instructions assumes that you have gone through the steps of add a filter to a view.

  1. Navigate to the edit screen for a view (for example, admin/structure/views/view/MYVIEWNAME/edit).
  2. In the Filters section, click a filter. The Configure Filter dialog box displays.
  3. Click More.
  4. Enable the Expose This Filter to Visitors option
  5. Enable one of the following options:
    • Single Filter If this option is selected, you can add a label and description which will be displayed to the site visitor.
    • Grouped Filters If this option is selected, you can enable any of the following options:
      • Remember Saves a visitor's selections.
      • Allow Multiple Selections Allows a user to select multiple items.
      • Widget Type Specifies whether to use radio buttons or a select list.
