Administrate_filterable

Overview

The GemCIAdministrate Custom Filter is a powerful plugin designed specifically for the Administrate framework, enhancing your index page with custom filtering options. Its off-canvas design is especially beneficial, as it preserves valuable screen space while enabling users to efficiently refine their search results. Inspired by the user-friendly features of ActiveAdmin, this plugin addresses some of the limitations inherent in the default search capabilities of Administrate.

The built-in search functionality of Administrate is comprehensive and customizable, but can become unwieldy with larger datasets. By allowing users to specify filters for specific attributes, this plugin offers a streamlined and more efficient way to manage data searches, ultimately improving the overall user experience.
