Filters

Overview

Filters is the navigation-tree entry for saved diagram filters in AnalyticsCreator. Use it to store the current diagram filter, reopen saved filters, apply a saved filter to the diagram, or delete saved filters that are no longer needed.

Function

The Filters node sits under the Data warehouse root. It lists saved filters by name and provides the command that stores the current diagram filter as a reusable saved filter.

Store current filter saves the objects currently shown in the Actual filter field. AnalyticsCreator asks for a filter name, prevents empty names and duplicate filter names, and stores the selected diagram objects under that name. A saved filter can later be opened from the Filters node and applied to the diagram.

Object context menus can set or add to the diagram filter. The Group selector narrows the diagram by object group, and the Actual filter field shows the object names currently included in the active diagram filter. Find on diagram is available from the File toolbar for locating objects in the diagram.

Access

Open the Filters node from the Data warehouse navigation tree. Use the node context menu to refresh the tree or store the current diagram filter. Use a saved filter's context menu to apply or delete it.
