# Make Filter Hidden in Offer Catalog

**LFS Version requirement:** v12.20 or later

This feature introduces an extension to the existing [rules for filtering the offer catalog](https://docs.limio.com/integrations/setting-up-limio-for-salesforce/filtering-rules).

**Introduction:**

#### Considerations for User Interface Design

Our Limio for Salesforce Offers Catalog focuses on a clear and easy-to-use interface. While mandatory filters like "Country" and "Sales Channel" are crucial, they can clutter the interface. To improve the user experience, we are introducing a feature to hide certain filters from the interface, using their values to select the right offers.

**How it works:**

* Navigate to the **Offers Filtering Rules**
  * Open an existing rule or create a new one. Select filters to be preloaded in the catalog.
  * Each filter card has a new toggle called "Is Hidden", inactive by default.<br>

* **Enable "Is Hidden" Checkbox:**
  * Activate "Is Hidden" toggle on the filters you'd like to hide from the UI.
  * Save configuration.<br>

While not visible to users, the values of selected filters are still used in queries to retrieve offer results.&#x20;

**Note:** Hidden filter options are **excluded** from the "Add more filters" dropdown to avoid inadvertent changes.<br>

### Tips

1. In the Catalog, the **Country** and **Sales Channel** filters are always preloaded, even if not explicitly selected in the rule. To hide them, include these filters in the rule, activate the *Is Hidden* property, and save the configuration.<br>

2. Adjustments to the Catalog Filters panel will directly affect the query used to fetch offers from Limio.
