      Create And Organise Filters

      You can drag and drop filters, and also nest them into Parent Filters.
      For each Parent Filter you can specify a behaviour. There are two options:

      1. Inclusive: If a web user selects several filters within a Parent Filter, the list of properties that meet at least one of the selected conditions is displayed.
      2. Exclusive: If a web user selects several filters within a Parent Filter, only the list of properties that meet all of the conditions is displayed.

      Create as many filters as you want quickly and intuitively, then organise them into filter groups according to your needs.

      Apply Filters

      Select a property from the list, then apply the filters that correspond to it.

      You can drag and drop properties within the list to rearrange them in the preferred order. The properties will be displayed on the website in the same order as arranged within this list.
