How to activate the adoptive filtering?

Each preset can have it's own adoptive filtering settings. This means that, if you use perhaps multiple filter presets for categories, you will be able to set some of those to use the adoptive filtering and some of those not to your liking.

To turn on the adoptive filterign on a preset do the following:

  1. Navigate Product Filter settings page
  2. Select the Filter Preset tab
  3. Select a preset you wish to use the adoptive filtering in the Filter Presets option
  4. Under Filter Options click the Adoptive tab
  5. The Enable option should be set to ON (green color, knob set on right)
  6. Now, there are many configurations on how to do it and we would now just continue to the option where for example product tags will adjust to filtered criteria and after explaining that, we'll go back to the adoptive options and principles to make things more smoother
  7. Once activated you'd need to activate it for a particular filter, in our example, this will be the product tags filter
  8. Go back and click the Filters tab under Filter Options
  9. Expand the filter you want to have the adoptive filtering tuned on
  10. This is done by clicking the + icon on the filter
  11. Now set the option Adoptive
  12. There are more options to choose from for each filter, you can set it to Not active on this filter (default), Terms will be hidden - this one will hide the terms from display, Terms will be shown, but unclickable - this will show the terms, however they won't be clikable and will display as disabled, faded, Terms will be shown and clickable - this one makes them look faded, but they are still shown and clickable, these will then lead to no products found pages

That's about it! Now set it for every filter card you need.

tip

If you want to reorder the terms, so that only terms that are avaialble to be on top, this is only avaiable for Terms will be shown, but unclickable and Terms will be shown and clickable options, you'd go back to the Adoptive tab and you would activate the Reorder Terms option. This one is currently only available global for a preset and cannot be set to a filter card independantly.
