The filter panel has a menu that allows you to hide or collapse it. You can specify how to display filters in the panel by clicking the menu and choosing Display As. Try the available options to see which you prefer. You can also specify which filter types are shown in the filters pane and whether the filters are updated automatically or manually.

Additionally, you can select values to filter on or enter a comma-separated list of values. A custom list of comma-separated values can be used only for what is in the list or is not in the list criteria.

You can apply the following types of filters:

• Dimensions
