The various elements within the interface are described below.

Quick filters

This toolbar enables you to filter a list of resource items by selecting one or more filters that are associated with tags. The list then refreshes to show only those items that match the selected filters.

In this example, the SMART and Debug filters are selected so that only data tables with those tags are shown:

Note that the filters will display any item in the list that has the associated tag, even if there are other tags associated with that item. If you navigate to a new resource page (such as going from Data Tables to Business Hours), any selected filters are automatically applied to the new page.

To add, modify, or delete quick filters, click the Settings icon to open the Manage Quick Filters window. To associate a filter with a specific tag, select it, and add the tag(s) under the Parameters section.

In the above example, the SMART filter was associated with the "M1App" tag, as follows:

The Quick Filters toolbar appears on the following resource pages: Special Days, Business Hours, Data Tables, Applications, Shared Modules, Emergency Flags, Media Resources, and Digital Resources. The same filters appear on each page, and any filters that you create are visible to other Designer users.

Tip

Tags are a useful tool for keeping resources organized. For consistency, Genesys recommends that you define and use a similar set of tags across your various resource types.
