## Filter settings
In the **“Filter name”**, type to which filter this block will be assigned:
## Section settings
You can give this block a **“Title”** and choose its **“Default state”**: open, close, fixed, or without a title.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**, once you select the option **“Top & vertical filters”** in *Theme settings -> Collection and Search page -> Sidebar position on the desktop*, only options “Open” and “Close” can be available and only for mobile mode. On the desktop view, filters will be displayed as closed by default. How to configure the sidebar position, you can read [**here**](https://mpithemes.gitbook.io/shella-shopify-theme/theme-settings/collection-page-1#sidebar-position-on-desktop).
{% endhint %}
## Content
If you want to display color variants as circle colors rather than as a text list, enable the option **“Make as color circle”**. **Please note**, this option works only for color variants.
In the **“Layout”** dropdown, one can choose the columns limit for filters: 1, 2, 3 columns, or a row. On the **“Max column size”** scale from 0 to 30, you can choose how many items should be shown in one column.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**, the scale settings can be used if the limit of columns is set to 2 or 3 columns in the “Layout” dropdown. If you choose 0, the filter items will be displayed on a scroll or in a column.
{% endhint %}
