  2. Choose the option display, including List, Box, Range, Swatch. The display type depends on the Option type you set up above.

  3. Choose Multiple selection if you allow users to apply multiple filter values of the same type

    Narrow down filter option values: Only applied for filter by tags, and Multiple is TRUE. When checked, this operator is used to narrow down the value in that filter option. The products in the results must have the selected filter values. FALSE if products in the results must not have the selected filter values

    For example: you have some products in 100% cotton, some in 70% cotton and 30% polyester, and some in 100% polyester. When narrow-down is enabled, users can select cotton and polyester to see products with both attributes. If narrow down is displayed, users can find products that have either cotton or polyester.

  4. By enabling Manual filter, you can select custom values to show your customers. To do that, click Select values to show and add the values from the drop-down list. You can drag and drop the filter values to arrange their display position on the front store or apply rules to sort manual values by clicking Sort manual values.
