# Filters

After configuring the[ category](https://docs.abtasty.com/recommendations-and-merchandising_deprecated/merchandising/category) and [product groups](https://docs.abtasty.com/recommendations-and-merchandising_deprecated/merchandising/products-groups), you can refine your merchandising results further by applying filters. Filters allow you to tailor the displayed products to meet specific criteria, ensuring that your merchandising is more relevant and targeted.

## Step 1: Applying Filters <a href="#h_01jdpf28318k13sqpg39kjwadw" id="h_01jdpf28318k13sqpg39kjwadw"></a>

### Filter by Block or Entire merchandising: <a href="#h_01jdpf33pxzj7za11ttc2pfvx7" id="h_01jdpf33pxzj7za11ttc2pfvx7"></a>

**Filters can be applied to:**

* **Individual Product Blocks:** Each block can have its own unique set of filters.
* **The Entire merchandising:** Apply filters globally to affect all product blocks in the merchandising.

**Define Filter Criteria:**

Filters can be based on various criteria, such as:

* Category
* Price
* Size
* Other Attributes

*Example Configuration*\
\&#xNAN;*Scenario: You want to filter products in Block 1 (Test 1) based on price.*\
\&#xNAN;*Action: Apply a filter that restricts Block 1 to display only products priced below €16.*\
\&#xNAN;*Result: Block 1 will only show products that meet this price condition.*

## Step 2: Combining Filters <a href="#h_01jdpf5en76ezzj4sx4egy9k4v" id="h_01jdpf5en76ezzj4sx4egy9k4v"></a>

### Use the "OR" Button: <a href="#h_01jdpf621jb3vf1xkg1br5nxca" id="h_01jdpf621jb3vf1xkg1br5nxca"></a>

Combine multiple filters to expand your product selection.

*Example: Filter products that are either below €16 OR belong to a specific category.*

### Dynamic Filters: <a href="#h_01jdpf67ym1srs26m4x6sj8qhj" id="h_01jdpf67ym1srs26m4x6sj8qhj"></a>

Assign a filter dynamically using variables tied to the algorithm.\
This allows the filter to adapt based on real-time data or user behaviour.
