Find 23.2

# Customize the Filters to Display

The Filters panel in the left-hand panel of the Find user interface lists a set of filters that your users can use to refine their searches. You can modify the available set of filters by using the configuration options listed in the following table.

Filter | Description | Configuration Option
--- | --- | ---
Databases | Lists the data indexes (databases) for your data. | `enableIndexesFilter`
Dates | Lists the dates that you can filter by. | `enableDatesFilter`
Document Selection | Allows users to manually deselect documents to exclude them (or to deselect all documents and manually reselect the documents to include). | `enableDocumentSelectionFilter`
Geography | Lists locations that you can filter by. | `enableGeographyFilter`
Filter search bar | A search bar that allows you to search the available filters. | `enableMetaFilter`. See Enable or Disable the Filter Search Bar.

Each configuration option is a JSON object that allows you to modify the available filters for the different Find user roles.

TIP: You can also modify the order the filters are displayed in. See Configure the Order of Filters.

To enable or disable a filter

1. Go to the Find home directory.
2. Open `config.json` in a text editor.

3. Find the `uiCustomization` section, and the `options` subsection.

4. Add or modify the configuration objects for each filter. Set a user role to `false` to disable the filter, or `true` to enable it. For example:

       "uiCustomization": {
           "options": {
               "enableIndexesFilter": {
                 "user": false,
                 "bi": true
               },
               "enableDatesFilter": {
                 "user": true,
                 "bi": true
               },
               "enableGeographyFilter": {
                 "user": true,
                 "bi": true
               },
               "enableDocumentSelectionFilter": {
                 "user": false,
                 "bi":
             },
