API Permissions

The List Filter Online web part uses the native SharePoint REST API to retrieve data from lists and document libraries. This means that it does not require any additional permissions to be granted in order to use it, so it can be deployed immediately.

Web Part Configuration

After deploying the package the List Filter Online web part will be available in the web part gallery.

Once you have added the List Filter web part to a page, you will see the following alert:

You need to provide three required parameters:

1. Site. The SharePoint Site in the current Site Collection that contains the list from which you want to display data.
2. List or Library. List or Library: The list or library that contains the data you want to retrieve and display.
3. Columns. The set of columns you want to include in the list view.

To configure the web part, click on the "Configuration" button to open the configuration panel.

Data Source

The first section allows you to specify the necessary parameters for displaying data. The web part enables you to display information from any SharePoint site.

To choose a site from which to retrieve data, please enter the URL or name of the website into the search bar and select it from the list of suggested options. After selecting a site, you can choose a specific list or document library within that site.

Columns

The last required parameter is a list of columns to be displayed in the list view. To do this, click on the Select Columns button to open the column options panel.

Columns Display Options

For each column in the listview, you can set a caption, order, and other settings to control how the column behaves.

Icon	Name	Description
	Resizable	Allow users to resize column
	Collapsible	Allow the web part to collapse the column if there is not enough space for it
	Filterable	Allow users to filter the column values by selecting one or more options in the column context menu
	Sortable	Allow sorting the view by column
	Link to Item	Display column value as a link to item or document

Folders

This section allows you to customize how the data in your folders is displayed.

You can choose between several options:

Show items inside folder (default). This option displays items inside each folder separately.
Show all items without folders. This option shows all items at the same level, without any folders. This is known as a "flat view".
Display all items. This displays all items and their folders at the same level.

Item Limit

This section allows you to customize the number of items that are displayed in the view. You can adjust the number using the slider provided.

Pagination

To enable pagination for the list view select Display items in batches of the specified size and choose the position of the pagination control (top, bottom, or both).
If you want to disable pagination select Limit the total number of items returned to the specified amount and specify the desired amount.

Sorting

You can sort the view by up to two columns.

Group By

Grouping items in your view can help you navigate and understand the data more easily. To group items, select up to two columns in the corresponding section of the web part's settings:

Totals

Totals allow you to perform simple math calculations on specific columns within your list view.

To configure totals click Select Columns button under Totals heading in the configuration pane and choose the math function you’d like to perform (e.g., Count, Average, Maximum, Minimum, Sum, Standard Deviation, Variance).

Filter

The List Filter web part provides a Query Builder tool that allows users to create complex queries for retrieving specific data from their SharePoint lists and libraries.

The Query Builder enables users to group conditions, use nested groups, and specify controls to create a filter query.

Filter Pane

The panel was created in order to provide end users with the ability to filter the list view using the columns and controls specified by an Administrator.

To select columns and filter types click on the Select Columns button and choose the columns that will be available for filtering.

Command Toolbar

You can show or hide the command toolbar from the list view.

Appearance

The last section of the configuration panel allows you to customize the appearance of the web part. With this section, you can adjust the following settings:

• Compact. Display the list in a compact format to reduce the amount of space between rows.
• Navigation. Show or hide the breadcrumb navigation bar above the results.
• Selection Mode. Choose from three options: none, single selection, or multiple selections.
