Hi Toolset community!

I'm working on making modifications to this "resource library" that our developer built with toolset. Currently a user needs to click on the Submit button after making their submissions in order to see the results.

I was wondering, is it possible to remove the Submit button and instead have the results display automatically as a user is making their dropdown selections? If so, would it be a straightforward modification or would it require an overhaul of our set-up?

-- Resource Library in progress: hidden link

Full disclosure, our developer is unsure of how to achieve the above therefore we're trying to get a sense of the work involved and hoping to find someone that could lend us an extra hand with this.

Thank you!
Jes

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

If you want to filter your view without submit button - there is a simple modification required with your custom search settings.

Under the "Custom Search Settings" section - you can select the option "AJAX result update when visitor change any filter values".

Hi Minesh,

Thanks so much for this suggestion. I changed the setting to the Ajax setting you suggested but upon selecting an item from a dropdown, all of the dropdowns disappear, you'll see what I mean by testing it here: hidden link

Does this mean there is a bigger issue with our set-up?

Thank you for any insights!

With the "Custom Search Settings" section - Can you please chose the option:
- Let me choose individual settings manually => Always show all values for inputs

That will display all the input every time.

Hi Minesh, ahh, that absolutely worked. Thank you so much!

Now, do I need to select a different setting in order for the 'Results' amount and Pagination amount to reflect the amount of items that are displaying? Or would this require custom development work?

For example, if you click on Digital Tools you'll see it says there are 43 items and there are 3 pages even when only 2 results display (which is accurate). See attachment.

Thank you again for all of your support here.
