Making changes to filters after you've created them.

As your site's content and/or users' needs evolve, you may want to delete existing filters or make changes to their human-friendly names or associated labels.

Locate the filter you would like to edit or delete.

Navigate to the Targeted Search Filters page and find the filter. It may be helpful to use the "Collapse All" or "Expand All" buttons at the top of the page.

Edit or delete the filter.

Click the gear icon  in the "Actions" column that corresponds with the filter.

Note that editing the label associated with a filter is essentially the same thing as creating a new label. Any pages, blog posts, attachments, and spaces that were labeled with the old label will remain labeled with the old label. Changing the value of a filter's label simply disassociates the old label from the filter.

For example, if you have a Human Resources filter with the label, human_resources, and a page with this label, then changing the Human Resources filter label from human_resources to hr (or deleting the Human Resources filter altogether) will neither change nor remove the original human_resources label from that page.

Deleting a filter or changing its name or label may break instances of macros across your site that use specific filter information in their configuration. Potentially affected macros include the Interactive Search, Targeted Search Field, Targeted Search Link, and Upload Attachment Button macros. You may need to update the parameters in these macros after deleting or editing filters to get them working again.

  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the next visible/non-collapsed block above this one to narrow the gap between the two blocks.
