Free-Entry—Users can enter their own values. Calendar—Users can select a specific date on which to filter.
Columns	Specifies the number of columns that the QuickView portlet displays. The QuickViews are presented in a grid with this number of columns. The default is 4, as shown in this example. NOTE: One or both QuickView buttons (Reset and Go) take up a column space.
Pulldown Width (pixels)	Available when the Display Type is set to Pulldown. Specifies the width of the pulldown list, in pixels. The default, auto, sets the width to fit the longest option in the pulldown list.

Search Entire String	Available when the Display Type is set to Combobox. Enables search strings to be matched against any text within possible values, instead of the leading characters only. This option is cleared by default.
Reset Button	Available when Find QuickViews in other portlets is selected. Adds a Reset button to the portlet interface which resets all portlet QuickViews to the value saved in the marker, or the default value for a Free entry QuickView. If Share Selection With QuickView Portlets on Other Pages is also selected, clicking Reset changes all QuickView values in the entire portal to the value saved in the marker. This option is cleared by default.
Go Button	Available when Find QuickViews in other portlets is selected. Adds a Go button to the portlet interface to allow users to select multiple QuickViews before updating the page. Only one Go button is required on a page, even if the page contains multiple QuickView portlets. This option is cleared by default. NOTES: This option only works when the underlying QuickView has the Activate on Go option selected. If the QuickViews are set to activate when Go is pressed, changing a QuickView disables the Print option as well as any click actions until Go is pressed. This ensures that the printed output or click action shows up-to-date data.
Share Selection With QuickView Portlets on Other Pages	Applies selections from QuickViews in this portlet to QuickView portlets on other pages in the portal. When a QuickView value is changed or reset, any QuickViews on other pages that are in QuickView portlets and correspond to the same dimension display the changed selection. This option is selected by default.
QuickViews	Available when Find QuickViews in other portlets is selected. Lists the QuickViews selected for inclusion in the portlet. Click Add a QuickView to open the QuickView Settings dialog box, from which you can select from a list of available QuickView options.
