Filters
💡 When a filter is applied, other filters have their choices narrowed down to only options within the results returned by the previous filter.Example: Normally the ‘Programs (Fintech)’ filter lists every Fintech Program our platform keeps track of as a filter option. If you search for a Bank and there are only a couple Programs that relate to that Bank, then the ‘Programs (Fintech)’ filter will automatically narrow down its own options to show only those related Programs instead.
💡 When a filter is applied, other filters may disappear if those filters cannot be applied to the results returned.Example: If the ‘Services Offered’ filter is applied, only Fintech Programs are returned. Since the ‘Regulatory Type’ and ‘Processors’ filters would not apply to these results, they are hidden and unable to be used for further result filtering.
💡 Clear All: This will clear all filters, but will not reset the results unless ‘Reset’ or ‘Filter’ is clickedReset: This will clear all filters AND reset the resultsFilter: This will apply the selected filters and narrow the results down appropriately
