-
Show open by default: This setting determines whether the filter group is expanded when the page loads. The default setting is true, meaning the filter group will be open by default.
-
Filter title: This text setting allows you to specify a title for the filter group, providing context to users about the filters available.
-
Filter tags: This text setting is used to define specific tags that the filter group will use to filter content. It helps in categorizing and displaying relevant content based on user selection.
