Filtering WPs by metadata field on page

Question

I've got a Contacts list on a page which contains a managed metadata field.  The contacts list also contains the shared metadata field. How can I filter the contacts list by the meta data field value contained on the page? When I try to use the field filter, it won't show the metadata field as an option.

Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon,

You can display your contact list with Content Query Web Part and filter Content Query Web Part by Managed Metadata field of page:
