Change the Filter Bar Orientation (Optimized Story Experience)

When viewing a story, you can choose to use the story filter bar as a horizontal bar or as a vertical panel.

The story filter bar can be converted to a filter panel. Both orientations provide similar features, such as adding new features or editing existing ones, but there may be some differences in using each orientation.

To show or hide the filter bar or filter panel, from the top navigation toolbar, select (Filter Panel). When the filter bar is hidden and you have story filters, the number of filters is displayed on the filter icon ().

Tip

If you would like the default filter bar orientation and visibility to be set differently,

your story designer can update the settings. For more information, see Edit Filter Bar Settings (Optimized Story Experience).

  • (2) - (Add New Filter): add story filters.

  • (3) - Your current story filters.

  • (4) - Select to resize the width of the filter panel.

Modify Filters

You can modify the filters in either orientation.

To open or close the filter, select either the label (1) or the arrow (2). To undo all your changes, select Reset Filter(3).

Remember

Select the filter label (1) or the arrow (2) when you want to close the filter, not the close panel option (4).

You can do more than just modifying the selected values or ranges in a filter. Some filter types have more options listed at the bottom of the filter panel, options like Sort, Paste Filter Values, and so on. The options vary depending on the filter type.
