Enumeration: FilterWidgetType

Filter widgets are particularly important in modular products or products with many option categories, allowing users to narrow down their choices to relevant options.

  • There are fewer filter categories
  • Most users need frequent access to filters
  • Screen space is available
  • Immediate access to all filtering options is important
