Table 6-2. Filter List Buttons
Button Description
New Creates a new entry in the filter list with the default name New Filter x (where x
increments sequentially as new filters are added to the list – New Filter 1, New
Filter 2, and so on). You can rename the filter to something more meaningful by
selecting its entry and clicking the Rename button.
Delete Removes the selected filter(s) from the list.
NOTE: You can use familiar Ctrl-Click and Shift-Click techniques to select
multiple entries in the list for deletion.
NOTE: You can delete all of the entries in the list quickly by selecting the topmost
filter and pressing the Delete button repeatedly until all entries are deleted.
However, if you select a filter entry in the middle of the list and press the Delete
button repeatedly, you will only be able to delete entries from the selected filter
to the end of the list. When you reach the end of the list, the filter above the
selected entry will not be automatically selected in order to protect you from
inadvertently deleting the entire list.
Rename Opens a dialog box where you can supply a new name for the selected filter.
Save Saves the currently selected filter(s).
NOTE: You can use familiar Ctrl-Click and Shift-Click techniques to select
multiple entries in the list for saving.
NOTE: The Create/Edit Filters dialog box will not let you save empty filters –
filters with no associated terms.
Clone Creates a duplicate of the selected filter with the name New Filter x (where x
increments sequentially as new filters are added to the list – New Filter 1, New
Filter 2, and so on).
TIP: Cloning a filter is particularly useful when you want to tweak an existing
filter’s definition for a particular analysis situation without losing the original filter.

The Filter Editor workspace (c in Figure 6-3 on page 124) shows the
current filter settings in a tree-like diagram with Boolean logical
operators connecting different terms. A summary of each logical level of
the filter appears adjacent to the operator.
You can select a portion of the filter and use the Filter Editing (d)
buttons to edit the filter’s definition. Filter Editing buttons let you
manage terms and operators at the location specified in the Filter Editor,
as described in the table below:
IMPORTANT: You can also right-click in the Filter Editor workspace to
access the context menu. The context menu gives you easy access to
most of the same functionality as the buttons in the table below and also
