To automatically reset the filter settings when changing tabs in Webflow using Finsweet attributes, follow these steps:

  1. Install the Finsweet library: The first step is to install the Finsweet library into your Webflow project. Finsweet provides a set of powerful attributes that can be used to add advanced functionality to your website, including the ability to reset filter settings.

  2. Add the tabs and filters to your page: Create the tabs and filters on your webpage using the Webflow native components. Set up the tabs to trigger the display of different content sections, and the filters to control which items are shown within each section.

  3. Add the Finsweet attributes: Once your tabs and filters are set up, you can integrate the Finsweet attributes to automatically reset the filter settings when changing tabs. Here's how:

  • For the tabs: Add the data-fs-tab attribute to each tab element. Assign a unique value (e.g., "tab1", "tab2", etc.) to each tab element to identify them.

  • For the filters: Add the data-fs-filter-trigger attribute to each filter element. Assign a value that corresponds to the tab value (e.g., "tab1", "tab2", etc.) to each filter element.

  1. Set up the interaction: Go to the Webflow Designer and select the first tab element. Create an interaction that triggers when the tab is clicked, and set it to affect other elements on the page.

  2. Add the Finsweet action: In the interaction settings, add a new action and select "Finsweet Filter" as the action type. Configure the action to reset the filters by selecting the "Filter Name" option and choosing the filters you want to reset.

  3. Repeat for other tabs: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each tab element, creating a separate interaction for each tab and configuring the actions to reset the filters specific to each tab.

  4. Preview and test: Preview your website to see the automatic reset of filter settings when changing tabs. Make sure to test different combinations of filter settings to ensure everything is working as expected.

By following these steps and utilizing the Finsweet attributes, you can easily achieve the automatic reset of filter settings when changing tabs in Webflow.
