Class EntityIdFilter

A DataSource that filters Entities by Ids. Can handle multiple IDs if comma-separated.

The ItemIdFilter DataSource is part of the Standard EAV Data Sources. It will only return the items with the id specified.

Warning: You should always use it in combination with a Content-Type filter, as you want to be sure nobody can just crawl any entity you have in your system!

How to use with the VisualQuery

When using the VisualQuery you can just drag it into your query. This is what it usually looks like:

You can also use multiple values:

Or URL-parameters:

Programming With The ItemIdFilter DataSource

We recommend to use the VisualQuery where possible, as it's easier to understand and is identical for C# and JavaScript. It's also better because it separates data-retrieval from visualization.

Remarks

Technically many things could just identify the app they belong to, and let the system look up the zone. But this would be inefficient, so for optimization, many items identify themselves with both the app and zone Ids
