Filtering Experience Builder ESRI

To improve the appearance of the filters in Experience Builder and reduce the amount of space they take up, you can try the following approaches:

### 1. **Compact Filter Design:**

   - **Switch to a Dropdown Filter:** Use a dropdown style for your filters instead of full panels. This can significantly reduce the amount of space the filters occupy.

   - **Inline Filtering:** If possible, place the filters inline horizontally instead of stacking them vertically. This can help save vertical space and make the layout look more streamlined.

   - **Custom CSS:** If you have access to CSS customization in Experience Builder, you can apply custom styles to make the filter panels more compact and visually appealing.

### 2. **Collapsible Panels:**

   - **Use Collapsible Widgets:** Set up your filters in a collapsible panel or accordion widget. Users can expand or collapse the filter options as needed, which keeps the interface clean when the filters are not in use.

### 3. **Tabs for Filters:**

   - **Tab-Based Filtering:** Group related filters into tabs. For example, you can have one tab for geographic filters (Region, Chapter, County) and another tab for time-based filters (Year). This will keep all filter options accessible without cluttering the interface.

### 4. **Floating or Flyout Filter Menu:**

   - **Floating Menu:** Consider using a floating or flyout filter menu that users can access via a button or icon. The menu can slide out when needed and hide away when not in use, freeing up space on your main screen.

### 5. **Responsive Design Considerations:**

   - **Adjust Filter Layout for Different Screen Sizes:** You can set up responsive layouts that change the filter arrangement based on the screen size. For instance, on larger screens, filters can appear inline or in a sidebar, while on smaller screens, they can be hidden behind a menu button.

### 6. **Minimalistic Approach:**

   - **Reduce the Number of Filters:** If possible, consider whether all the filters need to be visible by default. You might hide less frequently used filters behind an "Advanced Options" button.

Would you like detailed guidance on implementing any of these approaches in your specific Experience Builder project? I can also assist in setting up the filters in a more compact and user-friendly layout if that would be helpful.
