====== Filter description toplist by niche ======
~~NOTOC~~

You already know how to create a [[te3:toplist_tutorial2|description toplist]]. Let's filter this toplist by [[te3:niches|niche]]:

<WRAP caution>
We'll be using ten fictitious trades (''<nowiki>http://www.yourtrade1.com/</nowiki>'', ''<nowiki>http://www.yourtrade2.com/</nowiki>'',  ''<nowiki>http://www.yourtrade1.com/</nowiki>'', ...) for the purpose of this tutorial. If your database is empty at this stage, [[te3:add_trade_single_tutorial|add ten of your trades]]. If your database includes more than ten trades, your results will differ from ours.
</WRAP>

----


===== 1. Add descriptions for your trades:  =====

Navigate to the Toplist / [[te3:toplist_descriptions|Descriptions]] menu.

Since we'll be using 10 trades in this tutorial, let's add some descriptions for each trade - click {{:te3:add_button.png?nolink|}} icon for each trade and enter your description. \\ 
{{:te3:tpl_tut_niches3.png?nolink|}} \\ 
Click {{:te3:button_save.png?nolink|}} button to save your entries.

===== 2. Assign trades to niches:  =====

You will have to assign your trades to [[te3:niches|niches]] in order to filter your toplist by niche. We have created four niches and assigned our ten trades to some of them, like this: \\

===== 3. Set your description toplist to filter by niche =====

To filter the description toplist from [[te3:toplist_tutorial2|this]] tutorial, we'll have to **edit** it:
==== Step by step ====

{{:te3:tpl_tut_niches6.png?nolink|}} \\ 
{{:te3:tut_step_1.png?nolink|}} **Open "Edit toplist" window** \\ 
Navigate to the ''Toplist'' / [[te3:toplist_index|Templates]] menu, click on the {{:te3:overview_edit_icon.png?nolink|}} ''Edit toplist'' button and open "Edit toplist" pop-up window for the selected toplist.


{{:te3:tut_step_2.png?nolink|}} **Enable ''Filter by niche'' option**  \\ 
Checkbox ''Filter by niche'' option to enable it.

{{:te3:tut_step_3.png?nolink|}} **Select preferred niches**  \\ 
Select niches from the list (use ''CTRL + left mouse click'' to select multiple niches). We want to filter our toplist by ''niche1'' and ''niche2''.

{{:te3:tut_step_4.png?nolink|}} **Save toplist**  \\ 
Click {{:te3:button_save.png?nolink|}} button in the bottom right corner.


----

===== 4. Preview the toplist =====
  

TE3 will automatically generate the toplist, when you click ''Save'' button. Close "Add new" window and click {{:te3:button_preview2.png?nolink|}} icon to see the ''Preview'' of what the toplist will look like. \\ 
{{:te3:tpl_tut_niches7.png?nolink|}}

Ours looks like this: \\ 
{{:te3:tpl_tut_niches9.png?nolink|}} \\ 
Explanation: we have 10 trades in our database, but only five can be placed on this toplist - trades assigned to either ''niche1'' or ''niche2'' 


Note, If **multiple descriptions** exist for an individual trade, they'll be randomly rotated each time the toplist is generated, unless you want descriptions with specified positions.



----

===== 5. Include toplist into your web page =====

After you have added or edited a toplist, you can [[te3:toplist_include|include]] it into your web page!
