In Filter Management you can enter filter settings (data type filters, route filters and machine train filters) as filter profiles in the database. In the Sequence Editor you can assign these profiles to the contained templates. The filter profiles serve as prefilters for all ad hoc template elements (diagrams and tables without fixed data sources). The profiles can also be changed in Management if the user has the necessary rights.

9.4.2. Editing filters

The filter profiles are listed in the Filter Management. Selecting a profile and clicking "Edit" opens the dialog box for editing the filter profile. The properties can now be adapted. As of this point in time the altered filter properties apply in all reports generated thereafter.

9.4.3. Filter properties

In the Properties dialog box for the filter profile you can change or supplement the description, the group assignment and the privileges. The changes are applied immediately after saving.
