Select filter template

Filters must be linked to a table template to determine the filter content. The actual filter conditions are defined in this filter template. You choose whether you want to adopt a template unchanged or customize the template for the filter. In contrast to "normal" tables, which you will find under the templates , this table is purely a filter template and is not generally available. You can find out how to save your filter templates as a "normal" table and therefore as a template in the section Open filter template as table.

You select the filter template from the available table templates. You can do this when creating a filter or later using the "Select template..." button in the filter properties.

Proceed as follows to adjust the selected filter template:

1. Select the "Customize template" button in the filter properties. You can then adjust the filter template as required.

2. If necessary, open the parameter and filter field with the icon "Show parameter and filter settings" or with the key combination <CTRL>+<A>. The parameter and filter field is dynamic, i.e. it changes depending on the settings you have made in the table (e.g. which columns have been created).

3. Make the desired filter settings here.
   

4. Then save the filter template (or filter) using the FILE, SAVE command.
