How do I get Live Filters?

Live Filters is part of GravityView Pro, and the All Access Pass includes GravityView Pro. If you have an older GravityView license with extensions you bought separately, you keep those extensions and their updates. That license doesn't include Live Filters. To get it, upgrade to GravityView Pro or the All Access Pass.

Does it work with the Views I’ve already built?

Yes. Turn on Live Filters in the View's settings, add filters in the View editor, and click Update. Your layout, fields and entries stay as they are.

Which layouts does it work with?

Table, list and card layouts, DataTables, Maps and DIY Layout, plus Views that join forms with Multiple Forms. On a Map View, the pins follow the filters.

Is Live Filters the same as faceted search?

Yes. Faceted search is the general name for filters that show how many results each option has. Live Filters is how GravityView Pro adds it to your Views.

Do the results update automatically?

By default, results update as visitors click, without reloading the page. If you'd rather, a View can wait until visitors press Apply filters.

Can visitors pick more than one option?

Yes. Ticking two options in one filter shows entries that match either, and each other filter narrows the results further.

Can I use Live Filters with the search bar?

Yes. A View can show the search bar and Live Filters together. A keyword search in the search bar narrows the entries, and the count on every filter option updates to match. Choosing filters then narrows those results further, and the page link keeps both, so you can share the filtered list.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. On small screens, the filters fold into a drawer that visitors open with Show filters.

Pro feature

Filters that narrow your entries with every click

Live Filters adds a filter panel to the Views you already have. Visitors narrow your Gravity Forms entries by clicking, and the results change without a page reload. Each option shows how many entries match, so people can see which choices are empty before they pick one.

Narrow results without guessing keywords

A search box only helps people who already know what to type. When the rest can’t find what they need, they email you. With Live Filters, they see the options up front and click their way to the right entries. It works like the filters people use on Amazon and Zillow, also called faceted search.

Without Live Filters

A search box makes people guess a keyword.
Nobody sees how many entries match until the results load.
A search that finds nothing means trying again.

With Live Filters

Visitors pick from filters built on your form’s fields.
Results update with each choice, without reloading the page.
Every option shows how many entries match, so empty choices are easy to spot.

Combine filters and watch the results shrink

Each filter narrows what the others left, and the results change as soon as a visitor clicks, with no Search button and no page reload.

Ticking two boxes in one filter shows entries that match either.
The panel shows how many results are left as visitors filter.
Reset filters clears every choice in one click.

Show what’s available before anyone picks

Every option shows how many entries match, and the counts change with each choice. You decide whether options with no matches disappear or stay greyed out.

Counts follow the other filters and any keyword in the search bar.
Counts only include entries the View is set to show.
Filters display as checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, range sliders or star ratings, to suit each field.

Add filters to the View you already have

Turn on Live Filters in the View’s settings, pick the fields to filter by, and click Update. Your entries stay in Gravity Forms and your layout stays as it is, so there’s nothing to rebuild.

Choose how each filter displays, its order, and what happens to options with no matches.
Put the panel on the left or right, and keep it in view as visitors scroll.
Show results as visitors click, or wait for an Apply button.

Use one View, with a link for every filter combination

The filters are saved in the page address, so you can link straight to a filtered View. That saves building a separate View for each semester, region or category.
