Filter
Overview
A Filter is an AnalyticsCreator object that stores a reusable set of repository objects for focused diagram work.
It captures the current object selection so that the same diagram scope can be applied again later.
Function
Use filters to save the current non-empty diagram filter under a name and to reapply that object set from the navigation tree.
A filter does not define row-level SQL filtering. It controls which AnalyticsCreator objects are shown in the flow diagram.
