Displays a block with layered navigation filters. Faceted search enables the customer to define cumulative criteria to filter category products, little by little providing more details in order to reduce the number of displayed products. This is a great tool for customers who know the details of what they want (color, condition, price range…), but are unsure how to find it.

- In the Categories used for this template section, you can set the categories for which the filter will appear. In our case, the filter template will be applied to all categories.
- Select the appropriate filter in Filters section and it will be added to your filter template. Each filter has corresponding options. Please select the suitable style to each filter: Checkbox, Radio button or Drop-down list. You can also set the limit value – the limit of items. For example, you may set the limit for sub categories that will appear in your module.
