WebFOCUS Designer filter controls are versatile and allow you to facilitate multiple filtering scenarios. Depending on the needs of your enterprise and on the specifics of the data that you are using, you can configure filter controls to fit your unique needs. Examples below show you different types of controls and how to use them.
You can configure the properties of the filter grid using the Properties panel, which is context-sensitive. For example, when you click a filter cell, the cell style properties open in the Properties panel. When you click a filter control, the general and style properties for this control open in the Properties panel.
The Properties panel for a cell is shown in the following image. When you configure these properties, you modify the alignment of content within a cell or change the style layout of the filter grid.
Creating a page filter in WebFOCUS Designer is a quick and intuitive process. Whenever you add parameterized content item to the canvas, such as a report with parameters or chart with parameters, Designer recognizes the parameters and creates filters for them automatically. The tool then notifies you of any available filters with a notification, and a badge count is overlaid on the Quick Filter button, as shown in the following image.
The Properties panel displays the properties for the element that is selected. To access container properties, click a container or item with the Properties panel open. To access section properties, click the grid inside the canvas. To access page properties, click the page header or the toolbar. If the page header and the toolbar are hidden, you can access page properties by clicking the canvas outside a grid section.
The following properties are available for pages.

You can choose to hide certain content items from smaller devices, especially when dealing with large or multi-faceted items like maps or visualizations. When an item is hidden from a device, the other items around it re-flow into the empty space and retain the responsive layout.
You can resize content on a page, at any time, using the sizing handles and the shaded placement area that appear on the canvas. When you hover over an item on the canvas, a series of handles appear. Drag a handle in the direction that you want to resize the item, as shown in the following image.
