 * `Content`—This is the content that will be displayed in the content area. It can be an operator name (And, Or, StartsWith, Contains, etc.), member (property name), value or a opening/closing bracket.
 
 The view model gives information also for the current level of the filtering part in the composite filter's hierarchy through the `Level` property.

+## Customizing the Display Names of Properties
+
+By default the data filer will use associated the property names in the dropdown that allows you to select a field. To change this and use a custom display name, either use the `System.ComponentModel.DisplayName` attribute on the corresponding property in the model, or use the [AutoGeneratingItemPropertyDefinitionHandler](#events).
