Regular Filters, Taxonomy Filters and Scoped Filters

There are several ways of applying filters to your content in Paligo. They all involve marking up your content for filtering and then setting filters on the publication. But the process for doing this is different depending on which method of filtering you choose to use.

The two main types of filtering are:

  • "Regular" filtering, where you edit a topic and apply a filter attribute and filter value to one or more elements. You can use "regular" filtering for filtering entire topics or individual elements in a topic.

    To get started with "regular" filtering, see:

    Filter Elements

  • Taxonomy filtering, where you set up taxonomy tags to represent the filter attributes and values, and you drag and drop them on to your topics. You can also set Paligo to use the taxonomy hierarchy for more complex filters, where Paligo uses the taxonomy hierarchy to determine which topics to include or exclude.

    See taxonomy filtering for more details.

There is also scoped filtering. This is for when you want to use the same content in the same publication, but apply different filters depending on where the content appears.

You can use a mix of the different filtering types, if needed.
