Every Filter has an Input type.
The Input Type is solely used to tell the Media Manager and Video Portal how to gather input from a user. If a Filter is not a Visible filter, then the Input type is irrelevant.
The available Input Types depend on the selected Comparison Type. See Comparison Type - input Type and Comparison Type - Value Type combinations for the relationship between Comparison Types and Input Types.
The Input Type of a filter is defined during creation of a filter:
Creation of a filter.
It can be edited in the The Details panel.
