Detailed Sections
Finding the Setting
To configure quick filter chips for meal plans, start by navigating to the Quick Filter Tag Types setting in the App Station. Follow this path:
Open App Station.
Click on Settings.
Select Content Settings.
Click on Meal Plans.
Finally, choose Quick Filter Tag Types.
Available Tag Types
You can choose from the following tag types to appear as quick filter chips:
Meal Type
Dietary
Cuisine
Cooking Method
Difficulty
Category
Audience
Topic
General
Each tag type will display a live count of how many tags exist within that category, helping you understand which tags are most populated.
Understanding the Find View
In the Add Meal modal, the Find view shows:
Saved preset chips: Always visible at the top.
Tag chips: Configured tag types that you selected.
My {Bites} and Create new {Bite}: These appear as text links when enabled.
The Favorites feature, represented by a heart icon, allows members to filter their favorites alongside the active preset and tags. The My {Bites} section lists the member's Bites without requiring them to be marked as favorites.
Chip Limitations
You can configure up to 10 alphabetical tags per type to render as chips. Any remaining tags will still be accessible inside the full filter panel. If a tag type has no tags, it will be silently skipped in the display.
Practical Recommendations
To make the quick filter chips effective:
Select 1-3 tag types that your members care about most. Common choices include Meal Type and Dietary.
Keep tag names short to ensure clarity and avoid clutter.
Curate your tags before enabling this feature to ensure the chip row is helpful rather than overwhelming.
Empty State Behavior
If a tag type has no tags associated with it, that type will be skipped entirely in the quick filter chip display. This ensures that members only see relevant options.
