In Webflow, the feature that allows the user to click on a tag button and filter graphics based on the selected keyword is called "Multi-reference field" or "Multi-reference collection list."

Here is how you can implement this feature in Webflow:

  1. Create a collection for your graphics: Start by creating a collection in Webflow where you will store all your graphics. Each graphic will have a field for tags (keywords).

  2. Add a multi-reference field to the collection: In the collection settings, add a field of type "Multi-reference" for tags. This field will allow you to associate multiple tags with each graphic.

  3. Create a collection list on your page: On the page where you want to display the graphics, add a collection list element. Make sure to choose the graphics collection as the source.

  4. Style the collection list: Customize the styling of the collection list to your liking. You can choose the layout, size, and position of the graphics.

  5. Add tag buttons: Create buttons for each tag you want to filter by. You can style them as you wish.

  6. Filter the collection list based on the selected tag: To create the filtering functionality, you will need to add interactions or custom code. If you prefer a no-code solution, you can use interactions in Webflow. Add a click interaction to each tag button, and configure it to filter the collection list based on the selected tag. You can use the "filter" option in the interaction settings to achieve this.

  7. Preview the filter functionality: Preview the page in the Webflow Designer or the live site to test your filter functionality. When you click on a tag button, the collection list should update to show only the graphics that are associated with that tag.

By following these steps, you can leverage the multi-reference field feature in Webflow to create a dynamic filtering system based on tags for your graphics.
