The Bamboo Filters Collection includes a full range of programmable List Filters that let portal visitors quickly filter the data recieved by any Web Part that supports standard Web Part Connections, without the heavy cost of MOSS Enterprise or the resource drain that comes with running Excel Services. Instead, the Filters Collection lets you customize Choice, Date, Text, and Current User filters, connect them to a Web Part, and have them up and running in minutes. The collection also includes the Bamboo List Filter Web Part, which enables you to create complex, multi-column filters for List View Web Parts that are easy to make, and even easier to use.
Some of the things you can do with the Filters Collection:
- Filter the data received by any Web Part that supports a standard Web Part Connection.
- Build custom filters based on Choice, Date, Current User, or Text values.
- Filter by multiple values (if supported by the Web Part consuming the data).
- Apply multi-level, custom filters to List View Web Parts.
- Enter filter values easily, with filter Web Parts that automatically detect column types and provide corresponding UI elements (people picker, drop down menus, find as you type).
- Append customized string data to the beginning or end of filter values.
- Restrict filter selections to the values contained in a list column from another site.
- Clear the selected filter with a single click.
- Seamlessly extract profile data from the currently logged in user for use in filtering list data.
