Filter Query: Prefix Filter

19. May 2026

Elaine Foley

Table of Contents

Basic filter Properties Product codes starting with FRU

Show only technical documentation for admins, which is based on an existing file naming convention that starts with “ADMIN”. We have to use the Nested Filter as the Media Type is a multi-tagbox.

{ 
    "kind": "NestedFilter", 
    "path": "productDocumentation.mediaType", 
    "filter": {
        "kind": "PrefixFilter",
        "field": "productDocumentation.mediaType.code", 
        "prefix": "ADMIN"
    }
}

Basic filter

Filter for content that has the defined prefix as the value in a defined field. This works best for fields that have a fixed prefix, e.g., if you work with codes INT for internal, or SOCIAL for social media content.

{ 
    "kind": "PrefixFilter", 
    "field": "fieldpath", 
    "prefix": "Anniversary" 
}

Show only content with the prefix "anniversary" in the event name field.

Properties

kind

Required

Which filter to use, as a string, e.g., "PrefixFilter."

field

Required

The field name to filter on. It is composed of the field IDs of the hierarchy joined with "." (i.e., personLayer.address.street).a 

prefix

Required

The value in the field is to be used as a prefix.

Product codes starting with FRU

Best suited for products following a strict naming convention. As you can add a prefix to your Camera for file naming,Required: The value in the field is to be used as a prefix. It is composed of the field IDs of the hierarchy joined with "." (i.e., personLayer.address.street). You can also prepare the content with the correct "prefix" before uploading to Fotoware Alto. See a Nikon tutorial on file naming. 

{ 
    "kind": "PrefixFilter", 
    "field": "productLayer.products.code", 
    "prefix": "FRU"
