Restricting CMS Widget by DAT Filter
In CMS Portals, CMS Widgets can be made visible or hidden based on a DAT Filter.  This method is particularly useful if you want to restrict content to users that meet multifaceted criteria. 

- Follow Creating New DAT Filter instructions in the Administrative Module.
- Navigate to the desired CMS Page in the CMS Portal and click the “Content” link.
- Click on the gear icon on the CMS Widget, select the DAT Filter from the “Filter” dropdown and click Save.  This CMS Widget will now only be visible to users that fit the DAT Filter criteria.

Note: A DAT Filter is applied to a CMS Page or a CMS Widget through CMS DAT Filter Application

Note: If the gear icon on a CMS Widget is not visible, it means that the CMS Widget is locked.  Please reach out to PCR Educator Support for further help.
